Please tell us all when the last time a Republican's vote mattered even 
the slightest bit, in L.A. or even in California anywhere.

Who were the ones in the last few years who drastically cut the budgets 
of the local Fire Departments, and also/especially in preventive 
measures such as undergrowth removal?  That's right.  Bass and Newsome.

This disaster didn't happen because of "crumbling infrastructure".  The 
pipes worked fine.  The cause of it was how 
budgets/equipment/preparations were gutted by Democrat policies, even in 
the face of overwhelming warnings given.  It was more important to 
shelter illegal aliens and support LGBQT folks than it was to protect 
the general population from obvious and looming threats.  Really, it's that 
simple.
