Opinion INTERNATIONAL Politics: Adelaide Board Discussion Part 5

[Eagleboy2011]

Are Texas and Florida still in play for the Dems?

Landslides I believe. Midas Touch is so informative

 

[Mutineer]

Mr. 0% correct again, It's all in the video. Not my words.

Do you understand what quotation marks are?

Not the brightest is he, has that in common with his mates 119 and Cap.?

 

[kirky]

One day the left will get it, you don't need a stack of university degrees to be smart, intelligent and very good in your chosen field. Plenty of tradies would play some of these highly hedificated university professors on a break when it comes to worldly skills.

Perhaps but a lot have been sucked in to his simple messaging and you talk about inconsistency then that describes Trump.

Remember the last presidency - hardly any wall built (and what was built, Mexico didn’t pay a cent), all the US manufacturing jobs that didn’t happen and drinking of bleach.

What will we have this time? He is a grifter - pure and simple, a mean look at all the MAGA and Trump paraphernalia. And most of that stuff made in China not US. He has played his supporters like a fiddle.

Give me another President who has ripped off his people like Trump. Just one other President please (just like one Coalition seat).

 

[kirky]

tradies are educated, getting a trade is a tertiary education.

You would have to be really really clueless not to have known that.

Trust me he is and when asked to answer a direct question, he either won’t answer or will deflect.

 

[kirky]

One thing you'll learn about Bick's is he loves to post shit and then run away when challenged

Watch out though, he might report you for implying he isn't a real man. Probably call you a troll too

Yep, pretty sure he was the one who got me carded for a week. Bloody spineless.

 

[kirky]

This explains a lot. Believe everything they are told by Trump. Like it's the ultimate truth. What a joke

Please I’m a boomer as well so not all of us are as dumb as bag of hammers.

Think he should just stick to the US Election thread.

 

[kirky]

Please tell me this is a poorly thought out comment.

You are looking forward to a train wreck that will hurt a bunch of humans.
And this is worthy of celebrating?

A train wreck can mean a lot of different outcomes.

For example, if Trump brings in his of tariffs that increase prices, stop interest rates from dropping, cost jobs and sees overall inflation increase (which all economics advised prior to the election these were all possible) then I’m sorry the majority voted for it. Don’t say they weren’t warned. There are repercussions from your actions - accept responsibility and accountability.

 

[kirky]

"I'm literally talking to the President right now".

I can't quite get my head around what's happening here with the water. What's being reported cannot be correct. There's heaps of water available that gets diverted to the ocean when the damns are full. This makes perfect sense. But they're reporting that the damns weren't full prior to the fires and the reason is some kind of fish? That can't be correct.

California is currently 32% in drought and the state had its worst drought from late 2011 to early 2017. It is going thru another cycle possibly.

Whilst obvious errors by those in power, I’m not sure anyone can fathom what how big this is - over 200,000 people have been displaced - like the equivalent of say 15% of Adelaide. That is hell a lot of people away from their homes.

 

[spenze]

Diversity is our strength, working well for LA.

 

[Cap]

Please I’m a boomer as well so not all of us are as dumb as bag of hammers.

Absolutely, it's just unfortunate some your peers are able to see through the misinformation.

Mind your generation also aren't the only ones susceptible to it, we saw that over the last few years

Perhaps if they did seek further education after yr 10 it would help

Whether they're in drought locally isn't necessarily significant. The dams most likely fill from sources further upstream, which is where the question is. They're saying that upstream was diverting into the ocean despite the dams not being full downstream. Is that your understanding?

Only fact with Kirky is whatever Democrats do, no matter how egregious is good.
No matter what Trump or GOP do, it's the end of the world.

There's no drought anywhere in California: How long that's expected to last, and why

Drought has long been the norm for California. But the state had a historically wet winter, and El Niño is threatening again.

www.latimes.com

"Forecasters have “high confidence” California will stay out of its years-long drought through at least 2025, “and potentially beyond,” due to “the combination of the abundance of rain and snow” last winter and several major storms this winter,” according to AccuWeather meteorologist Ken Clark."

California Will Break Drought Through 2025: Here’s Why That Matters

Nearly 93% of California is completely out of a drought, and only 7% is considered abnormally dry.

Musk and his tech bros need power as in fossil fuels to power the massive supercomputers for AI and whatever else they are up to and also to mine bitcoin.
It starts to make sense why he is a climate change denier and has aligned with Trump and Putin.
Also explains Greenland.

Memphis warns it may not be able to power Elon Musk’s lofty 'Colossus' supercomputer expansion plans

“We are dealing with the physical realities of what our utility system can provide," the CEO of the city's utility provider said in a city meeting about xAI's plans to massively expand the so-called Colossus facility.

The biggest joke of all is you and your mate 119 thinking you're somehow superior to others on all levels when you know exactly nought about us.

Nah just you and EB that sit here trolling with ridiculous social media shit but then refuse to answer any direct question. Instead yours and EB modus opperandi involves:

• slink away and hide and hope you aren’t followed up and held to account for toxic views and misinformation
• use pathetic laugh emoji as your only reply
• report posts to Mods as you can only dish out the shit

If you are going to dial out shit then harden up in return. Like a “real man”
as you talk about should

Ps I showed interest in your age but again you refused to answer a simple question

 

[spenze]

Wow

At least they have a guy as assisstant

 

[1970crow]

Wow

That's unbelievable. A mate of ours tried to join the NT fire dept a few years ago. Got herself super fit, aced most of the testing, but failed. One test requires you to carry a hose a certain distance within a certain amount of time. Can't recall whether there were over and under type obstacles involved, but she couldn't meet the time and that's that.

Seriously, how is it normal that a fire chief can go on the record saying that?

Put simply it's none of your business, I couldn't give 2 shits how old you are, age has got nought to do with most of the crap you post. You come across as thinking you're superior to others...like the crap you carry on re the club being interested in anything you email or contact them with etc. No doubt filed in the WPB or deleted without getting past the first sentence.

You're the bloke that supported 82 YO Biden right up to they rissoled him.

You vote for woke communist governments and that's what you get.

Newscum is literally lying to this distressed woman.



"I'm literally talking to the president right now I have tried 5x thats why I am walking around to make the call." She caught him in a lie. He tells her he’s on the phone with the president. She asks to hear the call and gets caught lying to her, changing his story to, “I’m trying to call him. Which is it?"
He can’t answer the question about the water hydrants being dry because he helped create the problem.

 

[1970crow]

On average tough, isn’t this the outcomes that Californians are happy with? DEI hires will only ever hire similarly beneath them so you end up infesting the entire workforce with people who aren’t up to their job.

LA wildfires: Celebs in line of fire as homes destroyed, under threat​

Mel Gibson’s home has been under threat, and he would be “surprised” if it’s still there. Now he’s lashed out at mismanagement and pointed the finger.

Mel Gibson’s home in Malibu has been under threat, and he told podcast star Joe Rogan about the state of his neighbourhood. He said he would be “surprised if my home is still there”.

“[My son] sent me a video of my neighborhood and it’s in flames,” he said.

“It looks like an inferno.”

Gibson said he does have another home in Costa Rica, but has sought to lay blame on California Governor Gavin Newsom for the damage from the LA wildfires.

“I got a place in Costa Rica—I love it there,” he said.

“I think Newsom said ‘I’m gonna take care of the forest and maintain the forest and do all that kinda stuff’—he didn’t do anything,” Gibson said.

He agreed with Rogan’s assertion about California putting put tax dollars toward supporting the homeless instead of preventing the fires.

Gibson added: “I think all our tax dollars probably went to Gavin’s hair gel.”

Plenty pf celebrities venting at DEM Governor Newsom and the Democrats over the LA fires and their lack of any planning or preparation in the leadup to the fires. No doubt all Dem voters too.

The reasons why the LA wildfires are so devastating this year, and who to blame for them​

Los Angeles is no stranger to wildfires, but the current unfolding disaster is already the most expensive and destructive in living memory, as celebrity residents slam elected officials.

Actress Sara Foster also took to X to lament how Los Angeles residents pay exorbitant taxes but the state was still completely unprepared to take on such massive wildfires.

“Our fire hydrants were empty. Our vegetation was overgrown, brush not cleared. Our reservoirs were emptied by our governor because tribal leaders wanted to save fish. Our fire department budget was cut by our mayor. But thank god drug addicts are getting their drug kits,” she wrote.

The politically active actor, who is the daughter of music mogul David Foster, called on Mayor Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom to resign, writing, “your far left policies have ruined our state. And also our party.”
Big Hollywood names have started to turn on California’s and Los Angeles’ leaders, including Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom, over what is being claimed are botched responses to the wildfires raging across the celebrity-filled Pacific Palisades and surrounding areas.
Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar led the charge, criticising the Democratic leadership on Instagram for failing to direct the tens of thousands of Southern California residents trying to flee as the fires burned uncontained Wednesday.

“City of LA you want everyone to evacuate yet you have complete gridlock and not one traffic cop on the roads helping,” Gellar wrote, tagging Mayor Bass and the city of Los Angeles.
The Palisades Fire has been ravaging the celebrity-dotted neighbourhood since Tuesday and has burned a horrifying 17,234 acres over the past 36 hours.

Actor James Woods, who lost his home in the Palisades fire, vented on X that the wildfires weren’t caused by “climate change” but by “liberal idiots like Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass.”

“One doesn’t understand the first thing about fire management and the other can’t fill the water reservoirs,” he added.

Los Angeles has been horribly exposed as chronically under-prepared for latest inferno​

A series of unthinkable decisions have left California’s politicians roasting in what is being described as the state’s very own “Watergate”.

Given the population and amount of tax generated by the USA’s most populous state, locals are wondering how the government was caught so off-side by the current blaze, given there are roughly 7,500 wildfires in the state per year.

The blame is starting to fall on state administrators for the inadequate water system, with Americans now blaming years of mismanagement for the current state of affairs.
California politicians, fire chief cop it

Amid the crisis, LA mayor, Democrat Karen Bass, was nowhere to be found.

Ms Bass was 11,000km from the flames in Africa and quickly hightailed it back to the US once the heat arrived.

Patrick Soon-Shiong, billionaire owner of the Los Angeles Times, slammed Ms Bass in a tweet, saying it was “no surprise” Los Angeles is facing another fire crisis after massive firefighting budget cuts.

“Fires in LA are sadly no surprise, yet the Mayor cut LA Fire Department’s budget by $23M,” he wrote in the tweet. “And reports of empty fire hydrants raise serious questions. Competence matters.”

Videos of the city’s first female fire chief Kristin Crowley speaking about the city’s goal to rapidly increase diversity in the firefighting department have also stirred up backlash. Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly smashed Ms Crowley for placing virtue signalling as a priority for a department that purely exists to extinguish fires in a crisis.

“In recent years, LA’s fire chief has made not filling the fire hydrants top priority, but diversity,” Kelly said.
