Notice Miss Lotus does not deny having the worst case of TDS in recorded history.

And the bedbugs are just a given. You live in a squalorous Portuguese ghetto and don't even have a cloths dryer to dry your laundry. You have to hang your wash from ropes strung between buildings over the slop-filled alley below.

Is that Trump's fault too?
You're a fucking moron.

No I don't, but she's just a mouthpiece and I agree that's broken.

You have to research the utilities. It's a fucking eye opener. These are private companies. My opinion is that's where it lies. that's not political, that INFLUENCES the political. Just like Big Oil. C'mon how long did Big Tobacco lie about their product?
I agree regarding government contractors at all levels. For example with this topic, I'm sure it is private contractors who service and maintain the systems in question here. Such as whomever is involved with the draining of one of the main reservoirs that services the Pacific Palisades area for "maintenance."

It seems to me the issue isn't the contractors, who only do the work they are contracted and paid to do, but rather the government entities that oversee and manage that work. We should always expect competency in our government entities charged with serving the pubic. Here we see a clear breakdown in that basic competency.

Yes, the reservoir in question needed maintenance work done and someone in a government agency had to approve and give the go-ahead for that work to be done, but it had also been predicted through weather models for months that these Santa Ana Winds might kick up over the winter. Someone should have thought of that ...

Aww fuck! My daughter came over to have dinner (she loves my scrumptious shepherds pie even reheated) and now I forgot what I was schooling you about, jack.

Oh well.

Yes he is, Navy Veterans get preference in government job opportunities
Desantis is a Navy vet? I wasn't aware. Did you guys sail in the same boat?

Oh wait, you're much older, so you wouldn't have been laundering Desasntis' skivvies in the boat laundry.

So, in other words, you believe there should be government oversight of private companies. Weird that you would say that...

Your assertion is based on assumption. I’ll comment on this AFTER Gavin’s filing for an independent investigation into this matter is complete.
BAAHHAHAHAHA independent investigation my ass! Him and Aunt Nancy own California. Nothing is LEGIT there.

Nobody takes personal responsibility for the part they play.

Except me. I am the only person who I know that takes real steps towards real solutions.

The sad thing is Trump could be the hero and make restoration of the area a top priority and demonstrate the United part of the country’s name. But he won’t because he’s a petty little man.

LA didn't vote for Trump so he's gonna make them pay.

Just like Canada doesn't adore Trump so he'll slap on tarrifs.

Trump fully embodies the Ideal of Revenge of the Right.

Be prepared for a difficult 4 years. The New Confederacy will make America & the rest of the World pay for its hurts, failures & perceived injustices they think have been done to them.

MAGA/Trump are at War with the rest of the World. Its them against us.

I saw this unfold during Bush II & itll be exponentially worse during Trump II. Trump will bring out the brass knuckles & the mace.

He'll reinforce his brand of neo fascism to America & then try to spread it to the rest of the world.
