I thought he was just gonna turn the water valve back on the right direction so it’s not flowing into the Pacific Ocean and instead is flowing downhill from the pacific NW to California? You don’t need voter ID for that, just Air Force one and some work gloves and boots!

Looks like it is telling us that the Democrats are friends with a lot more criminals than the Republicans are.

Well, the real problem here are the morons that think that more water mains and storage tanks are going to stop these fires.
I talked to a friend of mine who is the manager of a water supply system in Washington and he says that because of the LA fires, local officials are asking his group what they are doing to be help crews to fight wildfires. He's trying to find a nuanced way to tell them that they are idiots who don't understand that his water system is never going to be capable of pumping the volume of water that it takes to actually fight a large wildfire.
There are apparently thousands of armchair engineers out there that have no comprehension of the elements that impact pipe flow capacity like head loss, maximum (and minimum) allowable water pressure, pump performance curves and other factors. You can't cost effectively build a water main that can fight a forest fire without creating pressure problems for users on the mains. Those armchair engineers don't know that fire hydrants are intended to be connected to fire trucks that take the water from the hydrants and then pump that water into hoses...so without fire trucks spread all over the place, their ability to fight fires is reduced and regardless of that, if you open up too many hydrants, none of them work effectively, particularly those near the top of a hill. No amount of reasonable money will make a system robust enough to stop a fire. People bitch about government waste and taxes, but they have no problem calling for wasteful spending when it suits them.
Of course, Trump and his minions have never been concerned with actual science and logic and would much rather fall back on moronic catch phrases than actual solutions. "Open the valve!" is the latest dumb thing to come out of his mouth.

Hey flat, is your friend in the room with us now? Don’t hurt yourself trying to explain poor preparation.
No water, 100 fire engines in the shop, failure to pre-deploy speaks to poor leadership.

Time to focus on rebuilding.
Trump waived all federal requirements.
Mayor Bass lied and refuses to use her emergency executive power to instantly streamline the permit process allowing homeowners to begin work TODAY cleaning up.

Trump just found 75,000 trafficked border kids in Iceland that Mayorkis couldn’t find.
First week.
Anyone care?

It’s in Washington somewhere. Super top secret though and the wrench to loosen it is in one of the football cases.
As long as we are tossing around random numbers.....I like 69. Were you 8 before 9?
I'm not saying that there was good preparation for the fire event. I'm saying (and my friend says) that only a moron thinks that fire hydrants and public water supply systems are the solution to wildfires.
FWIW, my buddy says that the most important thing that every home in California should have is new screens over their attic vents to keep burning embers from entering into attics. That, and fire resistant materials on roofs and siding.
Nothing random about them. And to your point numbers don’t lie. Which is important when lies are the foundation of your belief system.
This is a conspiracy I can get behind. What a F’ing joke.
They took college ball from us now the NFL is going to shit.
The Bills D had about 10 different opportunities yesterday to send Mahomes into early retirement and end this nonsense. Why is everyone so afraid to take his head off?
Because clean, well-timed hits on Mahomes get called for roughing. He’s even more pampered than Brady was.
I’d like to see someone do a serious analysis of viewership, overall penalties, and game-changing penalties and how they affected outcomes for the Chiefs. Run this analysis for the period before the Taylor swift era, compared to after. The NFL certainly enjoys the increased attention she brings….and it really does look like they’re keeping the chiefs on top as long as the swifties keep paying attention.
I can tell you now about viewership. The NFL loves a villain as it brings more eyeballs. The refs have brought so much attention, for good reason, that they appear to be doubling down to be an even bigger villain.
I won’t go so far as to say the games are “rigged” but there’s certainly a pattern that’s emerged. The NFL referees are a union who get paid more when the league makes more money. I don’t hear a peep out of the owners, and some of the stuff we’ve seen specifically in chiefs games, should be cause for recourse, but it’s not.
I dunno, 90. The chiefs got called 3 defensive holding/DPI plays AND hands to the face that all resulted in automatic first downs or woulda put the ball at the 1 since one of the PIs was declined because it was a TD catch.
Having said that, I thought Allen made the first down...butnit certainly was close. The ref who had the closest view marked it short while the one on the far side had him making it. I'm not surprised they sided with the one in the best position to make the call.
The bigger problem is this system of old retired guys with sticks attached by a chain measuring the spot when technology CLEARLY exists that can absolutely determine where the ball made it to. Tennis uses this perfectly with balls traveling over 125 mph. (Salute to Madison Keys, btw) Baseball will probs move to it with the strike zone at the major league level soon. All these NextGen stats are computed using this tech. Why we can't get the spot correct on such a monumental play is being stupidly stubborn. Taihtsat

I’ll say this. And this has always existed in sports, more so in football and basketball I’d say…in Buffalo that’s 100% a first down. In Buffalo the incomplete pass gets called correctly as such. In Buffalo there’s laundry all over the field on that Chiefs punt return, at minimum there was a clip the whole world could see right when the return popped.
The Chiefs have a distinct home field advantage that includes an inordinate amount of favorable calls. I think their staff is smart enough to know they are gonna get the calls too, so it’s likely coached ( ie grab em if you need to they ain’t gonna flag us).
It’s bigger than just Mahomes, although he’s well aware he gets the LeBron treatment and he takes advantage of it.
Very true, the technology definitely exists that would make this absolutely indisputable.
Well they see to stop them in Washington, Idaho and Oregon all the time. I mean we lose 1/4 the summer while Chelan is smoked out, high winds, drought, higher seasonal temps don't play a part in it.
How often have the fires in Chelan (or other parts of the PNW) been burning in brush with 50-70 mph winds blowing? We had a big fire in my hometown in Washington in 1985 and the only thing that kept it from going into town was the wind changing direction and the fire choking itself out. I just pulled up a news article and 2,000 firefighters weren't able to stop its advance and it was only 200 yards from the city limits when the wind changed.
Yeah, probs. I don't know why I'm even pushing back. It should have been marked a first down. Who knows if it still means a bills victory, but in a game where the margins are so small (like whenever these two teams meet) maintaining possession there could change the whole outcome even though there were still 12 mins remaining and the bills got possession two more times, I believe.
On that return, not only a clip (which for some reason they don't call it that anymore, it's just block in the back) Hicks had a very possible block in the back at the start of that return.
Here's two "fun" facts that I heard today:
1) since 2020 playoff teams that score 4 or more TDs and have zero turnovers are 20-2. Guess who has the 2 losses and guess who they lost to.
2) five teams this year during the regular season failed to score 30 points in a game: Giants, Jets, Patriots, Raiders and.....
