There are very few times when this writer is rendered speechless.
This is one of those times. She tried really, really hard to think of something clever to write to open this piece and, yeah, she's got nothing.
Because this is like a bad SNL skit.
As wildfires ravage LA, the gross incompetence of city and local government is coming to light. Back in 2022, the LAFD donated its surplus equipment to Ukraine. Just months ago, LA Mayor Karen Bass cut the LAFD budget by almost $18 million.
And now apparently the LAFD has to take some creative measures to fight the fires. WATCH:
The LAFD are using women’s handbags to hold water to put out fires.

Yeah, we got nothin'.
It's not the only example of firefighters having to get creative, either:

Sigh.
Absolutely infuriating😡 The Firefighters budget cut by $20 Million, fire hydrants with no water and equipment donated to Ukraine😡If you can’t protect your state and the residents within your state, you are a Complete failure. The Absolute incompetence of Leadership in…

The most basic job of government is to protect citizens and infrastructure. California has failed, spectacularly, on both fronts.

This is what happens when you hire a DEI chief, the state runs out of water, and they cut $17.6 million from the FD budget.

Those things have consequences. Severe, deadly consequences.
Have they tried spraying the fire with diversity or inclusion? 🙄 pic.twitter.com/wbgPvvrENt

Or post some 'fire free zone' signs. That'll work.
And this isn't an indictment of the firefighters, cause they're doing the best they can while being run by absolute clowns.
The hell? Just bring back the bucket brigades from saturday morning cartoons... because this looks like looney tunes....

The progressives in California have taken the state back a century.
Women’s handbags and almond milk! This is worse than third world! pic.twitter.com/mMtVR3gDm9

Almond. Milk.
WTF.
Doesn't Newsom brag about the size of CA economy?

This is an absolute travesty.
It would almost be funny if it wasn't so terribly horrid.
I try not to hate, but CA dems are making that awfully hard.
He does brag about it. Then he blames everyone else for his failures.
Everyone that owns property in California has to have a very serious conversation with themselves about their voting habits after this disaster.

Wheeee!
Please tell me this isn't real. #LAFD https://t.co/C4I4HGNcTn

This writer said the same thing.
Sadly, it's very real.
Those aren't handbags they are bags that can hold water. It's sad because Newsome made Los Angeles a third world country and that's why we can't put out fires with the regular means we used to be able to https://t.co/Fr9ngjEERm

Either way, it's bad.
