If the Son of Sam and Charles Manson were prominent Democrats, you'd say they were great folks, too.

Those fires didn't just appear out of thin air. They had plenty of warning but left it too late and now the consequences kick in. I'm reminded of the i***ts who k**l themselves every year after a hurricane because they ran the generator in the living room and suffocated on the fumes. Of course, if they didn't build their homes so close to heavily forested areas there would be no threat and no panic, no desperately trying to get out as the flames come licking at the door. That's why people who live on a hill never get flooded. Same principle.

Of course, if their forest service actually managed the forests they're supposed to be caring for, these fires would never be possible in the first place. Keeping the dead wood and brush under control would eliminate all of these fires before they had a chance to get hold, but no, the resulting disasters are far more desirable. Just wait a few months and you'll be hearing about how there are terrible mudslides sweeping more houses away. Gee, there's a huge surprise. Again. It's so regular you can almost set your watch by it, and still they keep doing the same things, expecting different results.

Secession and Repealing Statehood is Sad on both levels... The Economic and Governmental Structures between California, the other 49 States, and the USA Government are so interwoven that their leaving the USA is never going to occur...

California secede? Sounds like love poetry, almost.

Come to Nevada! We need you more than CA does!

Yes, you left out some of the t***h. “...forest fires it could have avoided ... ,” just how does one avoid a forest fire starting without any absolute knowledge of how it started?

Trumpet’s crimes? Let’s see, how many indictments and guilty pleas has Mueller’s investigation produced, thus far? Compare that number guilty pleas and indictments resulting from the many investigations your side made into “... B******i, Uranium One, Hillary's pay-to-play as SecState, Fast & Furious, the IRS scandal ... .” I’d say your side put up a big, fat ZERO! Yet, you continue to beat that dead horse, hoping it’ll arise from the dead and talk like the donkey Jesus sent His disciples to find. (Jesus’ donkey was already alive and standing when His disciples found it.)

Yes, Trumpet did release monies to help with the forest fires. But, why did he have to feel it necessary to tweet his h**eful and callous remarks beforehand? Oh, I know. Like you guys love to say, “It’s just Trump being Trump.” Yes, it’s Trumpet being his usual, i***tic, a$$hole self.

You need to buckle-up, Seth. If you think all of the investigations the GOPTP pulled on Obama for 8 years was a sight to behold (Again, with ZERO guilty pleas and ZERO indictments after EIGHT YEARS of various investigations!), wait until after the first of the new year and after the new Congress is sworn-in with the Dems in charge of the House. There WILL BE investigations into Trumpet and we, ALL, will see just how sleazy, slimy and dirty he and his cronies really are.

Hell, we might even get to see his “perpetually audited” tax returns! Won’t that be interesting?! Then, you’ll get your answer to, “What crimes?” I have a good feeling the list will be rather lengthy.

Sounds like a plan. And don’t give them visas to come across the border.

Camp fire was the most devastating one...Whoever started that fire,should be charged with multiple murders!!!!....Life in prison!!!

Yes, and since California gives considerably more to the feds than it receives back from them, you would miss that California income fairly quickly.

“Those fires didn't just appear out of thin air. They had plenty of warning but left it too late and now the consequences kick in.”

You need to pull your head out from inside your butt. Have you been told what caused these fires? If so, you’re more ahead of the game than the California fire officials are. They’ve not released any causes, except to say there’s a “possibility” that one of the fires was caused by an electrical ground fault along a PG&E power line. Tell me, Larry, how do you plan for those? How do you plan for lightening strikes? They’re the most likely cause of the fires.

Also, contrary to what you said, many people did NOT have much warning. Most had only 15 to 30 minutes warning. Add to that, as time progressed and more people took to the roads, the roads became clogged and traffic was forced to slow down, allowing the fires to reach people in their cars.

From your moniker, I’m going to guess you really do live in the Florida Panhandle. Every year, portions of Florida are devastated by hurricanes, flooding and tornadoes. Every year, many people die as a result of those disasters. How many deaths could be averted if those citizens moved away from the Florida coast? How many would be alive if they’d built their home to be hurricane and tornado proof? How about requiring ALL Panhandle houses be built, at least, 20’ above the ground so as to avoid being flooded?

Why doesn’t your state government come up with plans to better predict when and exactly where these hurricanes will come ashore and where the tornadoes will spawn? Why doesn’t your state government do a better job helping the victims of hurricanes and tornadoes rebuild and get back on their feet. Why doesn’t Florida’s government restrict building along the coast so as to keep destruction, injury and deaths to an absolute minimum?

Larry, unless you actually live in California, you have no right to criticize how it operates its lands. When you can show that Florida can control its weather, then, you might have a right to speak to California about theirs.

BTW: I live in Middle Tennessee. While we don’t get many hurricanes here (They’re usually classified as tropical storms by the time they get here.), we do get more than our share of tornadoes. So, I know, first-hand, what kind of destruction, injury and death these kinds of storms can bring.

Seth

You thin out the forests and get rid of the dead, dry stuff to deny a fire fuel, so it doesn't spread hell bent for leather if there IS a fire.

It's called good forestry.

How many of those indicted have been indicted for colluding with the Russians? Huh? ZERO!! NONE!! This is a perfect example of give me a man, and I'll find you a crime!

I've made my feelings, and opinions about Donald Trump more than clear on this forum, but I'm not on board with this KGB garbage being perpetrated by your team!
Destroy all opponents. Not just beat them in e******ns, but DESTROY them, and anyone who ever had a cup of coffee with them!
This is totalitarian, unrelenting, and evil. It goes against everything that I stand for. Your team wants the power to rule without question, and will go Napalm, and scorched earth to get it!!!!

Donald Trump's tax returns are none of America's business. That is between him, his lawyers, accountants, and the IRS. It's none of our business, and has nothing to do with Russia posting on Facebook to influence anything.

Like I said, and I saw someone else post it, so it isn't my original thought, but it is exceptionally accurate.

FIND ME A MAN, AND I'LL FIND YOU A CRIME.

KGB, brother, KGB.
