We have had 0.1 inches of rain since May. Winds were between 70 and 100 mph. It was a blow torch that nothing was stopping

Katy needs to shut her pie hole! She is horrible!

calienti.bsky.social•48 days ago

Yes. Can't wait for the day when we never, ever have to hear his lying voice or see his treasonous face again.

Trump will never shut up. The fires were taking attention away from him, so he had to drag it back onto himself, by any means necessary. He'd have set himself on fire, if it came to it.

We could only be so lucky 😳

If he wants to do the latter, I'm fine with it.

I'll bring the marshmallows. Nah, better not. The Trump smoke would make a marshmallow taste nasty!

Between May 2024 and January 1, 2025 Los Angeles had 0.16 inches of rain.

Some observers want to blame that lack of rain on woke progressives, but the more likely explanation is that the planet is being fried because humans are burning fossil fuels.

The reservoirs are full; the previous two years brought generous rains. And lots of vegetation. Which the current year has dried up.
But mainly it was the winds

I don't know what the perfect building material is because what may be fire resistant could be vulnerable to earthquakes. Maybe every house should be required to have a large water storage tank and pump. The city water system is not enough. Obviously.

"shut his pie hole". Good advice for Donny Convict pretty much 24/7.

roslynn.bsky.social•48 days ago

Yeah, that’ll be the day. He won’t even try to fix things next week, or any time beyond that.

barbara-waxer.bsky.social•48 days ago

And she didn’t push back? Amazing

elaren.bsky.social•48 days ago

With what?

barbara-waxer.bsky.social•48 days ago

The pro-Trump devil's advocate line

elaren.bsky.social•48 days ago

I’m completely confused and confess to have absolutely no idea what you’re
talking about or the point you’re trying to make

She thinks Castaic Lake was pumped dry. PIO said, “I’m not a hydraulics engineer,” which was a nice way to say, I don’t have time on your air to explain what you don’t understand about where water comes from and what maintains pressure in the system.

elaren.bsky.social•48 days ago

Y’know, I’m old enough to remember when journalists did their homework before doing interviews

craigerflights.bsky.social•48 days ago

I’m becoming a fan of LAist. They get it, and they communicate it effectively.

Best use of the term "pie hole" in 2025 so far.

unglamb.bsky.social•48 days ago

What’s wrong with these people? Stopped watching MSNBC in October

socratessnow.bsky.social•48 days ago

Trump needs to always shut his pie hole. He does nothing positive in the world. He offers no grace in the world. He’s a destructive evil demon. I say this and I’m not even religious.

flottman.bsky.social•48 days ago

Whenever people start talking about ArSoN I always ask them how many fires have started in the same area when there wasn't a historic wind event happening.
They don't know, of course. My point is, I bet there are random fires up there all the time that we don't hear about, that get extinguished.

I have some sauce for that spaghetti he keeps throwing at the wall to see what sticks 🤣

If and when MAGA takes over the state and the next wild fire disaster happens, they will close down Calfire and attack the reporters for telling you your neighborhood is in fire.

mod1968.bsky.social•48 days ago

Republicans are cynically using this as a means to attack their perceived enemies. They are intentionally stoking panic and trying to work people up about fires that are not occurring, like Compton having a wild fire.

New population 73 million babies last year will no visible means of support. World 8 billion.

A small brand new country with no food.

We are eating our planet

Ya think????

jill-lyn-b.bsky.social•48 days ago

He will never shut his damn pie hole until he’s six feet under, perhaps not even then. The next four years will be unbearable

dolorosasantos.bsky.social•46 days ago

Arson.

Many of the fires were arson.

seattlerik.bsky.social•45 days ago

Started by MAGA?

See, I can post unsubstantiated, divisive claims like Trump and Elmo too.

dolorosasantos.bsky.social•45 days ago

Mark my words: they'll end up being MAGA lunatics.

I realize that even though it would be physically impossible for Trump, he should stop his yapping, go lay down in the corner, hike a leg and lick his you know what.
