And if you're Karen Bass, mayor of LA, you think: Oh, perfect time to visit Ghana! Though to be fair, Biden set it up. Has a very 9-11 feel, doesn't it?
Not only the Mayor. Every year LA gets worse. The whole state. I miss the old California. Hopefully more and more people see that. Shame that it takes a disaster like this for it but if those people still think everything is fine, they are delusional.
Dennis, if you remain in Malibu, buy fire hoses and get fire training like the surgeon did. I remember in my teens living in Westlake with my Dad, and at that time, homes sliding off of cliffs were the constant issue. Twenty-five years later, it's the fires.
No, they're not going to give Bass or Newsom a pass. It if was just the middle class or working class homes they would probably get away with it cause they don't have the influence of the rich and celebrities.
A) They can't comprehend the devastation (SMSO small mind sensory overload) B) They did a good job for their bosses and are pleased with themselves C) They don't give a stuff
Mayor Bass was in Ghana already when the fire started. Is she supposed to have ESP as well? No one knew those fires would break out all over the county. It's not like the Santa Ana winds are new to the area. If Quaid knew, then why didn't he get out earlier, sound the alarm or move his valuables from his home? Because he didn't know either. No one did. To be clear, there's the City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County has 87 cities in it. Each with their own mayors and city councils. The City of Los Angeles is only one of those 87 cities. Karen Bass is the mayor of the City of Los Angeles. She is not responsible for the entirety of LA County. So why is it than none of these other mayors are being called out and raked across the coals the way she is? Is this to once again put all of the blame on a black woman? Because the way these stories are being reported is not only not making these facts clear to people who don't live there. But they are putting all of the blame on her as if she's in charge of the entire county. She is not in charge of LA County and she's not in charge of the entire state of California.
You’re not entirely correct about all the “cities” within Los Angeles having their own mayors. They may have their own neighborhood “city councils” or they may be unincorporated cities without mayors. But Mayor Karen Bass covers a large territory not just the city of Los Angeles.
No one said she didn't cover a large area. However none of these news programs are clarifying any of what I stated about LA the city or LA the county. Nor has any of these other mayors or council people been focused on and criminalized the way she has been by the press. In fact, ypu will be hard pressed to find anyone who lives outside of LA that can name any of these mayors and their cities. Therein lies the problem. Biased reporting.
if there's any silverlining to this tragedy in LA is that now everyone can finally see the incompetency and corruption of our leaders and get them out before the go an ruin the rest of the country
Wonder how many Hollyweirds voted for Governor and Mayor? How yourself accountable for your critical voting decisions and live with it? Accountability?
Personally, I don't feel too sorry for someone who lost 'three (3) multi-million $ homes' to this wildfire. He or she probably has a 4th or 5th home to live in or the financial means to buy another.

I don't normally comment on political issues, but I have to ask why do mayors think it's their job to travel to other countries while acting as mayor? It makes no sense. They belong at home in times of crisis.

The insurance companies knew of the threat of losing so many homes in the area so they stopped coverage. Maybe don't live with tonnes of dry and dead vegetation in your desert scenario.
It’s not just the mayor!! Didn’t the city know ahead of time that there’d be a hurricane level wind event ahead of time?? Why didn’t anyone stop and say hey maybe you shouldn’t go to Ghana? These are systemic issues in government leadership as a whole.
All leaders are on Vacation. All workers are on short ropes In Compartments. Everything is one angry inch at a time. Be Honorable. ❤ The insurance company is not yours The Insurance Co. Owns you, thanks to friends in the Banking Legislative Biz ........
his role right now is pretending to be victim when his home was spared , guess you missed his interview on jan 7th asking for unity and not making it political
The narrow winding roads that make certain neighborhoods charming are also death traps. I hope the streets and roads are reconfigured during the process of rebuilding.
The insurance companies knew the LAFD was underfunded, understaffed and lacking good leadership that could have strategized a better fire prevention plan. Bass is absolutely to blame for this catastrophe. Get her out of office NOW!
"With the new contract approved, the budget for the fire department in Fiscal Year 2024 - 2025 increased from $819.6 million to $895.6 million. When compared to the previous year's budget (Fiscal Year 2023 - 2024), this current year's fire department budget in total is larger by $58.4 million. "

Well I can say that I'd feel 3 million times more sorry for someone who had a $300,000 home, lost it and voted Republican than I would someone who had 3 x $3m homes, lost them all and voted Democrat.
As someone whose home was destroyed by a hurricane I'd advise everyone whose home was destroyed to hire a good attorney before submitting your insurance claim. The insurance companies are going to do all they can to pay out the least amount as possible.
Yeah, let's point fingers, do investigations and go after everyone. Do not look at your physical location, the circumstances, and the history of LA. Firefighters and other rescue personnel say to always be prepared. I have never in all my years of training and experience ever been told, "Make sure the mayor is responsible for everything. You should just sit at home and let them do all the work including saving your but whenever there is trouble." I am not defending the mayor. She left us in a time of need. But at the same time, the media gave everyone time to prepare or at the very least, brace for impact.
Dennis you know why the Palisades Village is still intact? Because the City and State required it to be built to fire standards. Not because Caruso has his own design standards. Evacuation plan? Well did you bother to ask about an Evacuation plan before the fire? No you didn't ask!!
The insurance companies did the right thing. Why would they insure a tinder pot? Blame the politicians who decided to dump common sense fire precautions.

Anyone who claims to know what happened or who to blame while the ruins are still smoldering is just pushing their own agenda.
Whaaaaa
Ive been homeless since 2013 in los Angeles California. Im sober for 24 years. I got my good health and blessed 🙏
So he's just going to leave Gavin out of the equation?
RECALL BASS AND NEWSOM!!
Great Conversation! Great ideas Dennis Quaid
We are the World - U.S.A. for Africa.
We are the children
Wait a minute didn’t Ted Cruz takeoff to sunny Mexico when a winter storm hit Texas
I don't normally comment on political issues, but I have to ask why do mayors think it's their job to travel to other countries while acting as mayor? It makes no sense. They belong at home in times of crisis.
people like her just spend tax payers money bc she never had any and she thinks no one will call her a@@crack out bc they’ll look racist. If you voted for that thing, it’s on you!
As a Californian, recall Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom
MR QUAID,BLESS YOU AND LA,THEY ALL HAVE TO GO,WHY HOW DO THEY HAVE THEY HAVE WHEN THEY CAN'T DO THEM,BASS,NEWSOME GOT TO GO,DO YOU WANT THEM TO REBUILD,AFTER WHAT RESPONSIBLE FOR,BLAME THE REPUBLICANS REALLY, THEY BELONG IN ICELAND, NO HEAT BLESS PRAYERS TO YOU ALL
People would be wise to listen to DQ, he is wise, rational, very knowledgeable, and a pretty good dude.
You mean recall Newson and Bass!!
The insurance companies knew of the threat of losing so many homes in the area so they stopped coverage. Maybe don't live with tonnes of dry and dead vegetation in your desert scenario.
Recall Bass and Newsom. Moderate democrats will help you.
So sad
Stay strong
Quaid has become so Creepy.
It’s not just the mayor!! Didn’t the city know ahead of time that there’d be a hurricane level wind event ahead of time?? Why didn’t anyone stop and say hey maybe you shouldn’t go to Ghana? These are systemic issues in government leadership as a whole.
All leaders are on Vacation.
All workers are on short ropes
In Compartments.
Everything is one angry inch at a time.
Be Honorable.

The insurance company is not yours
The Insurance Co. Owns you, thanks to friends in the Banking Legislative Biz ........
Bel Air fires 1961 lather rinse repeat ---🙄
Bass cannot keep running away from answering questions ......
Great idea! Recall!! Hell yea! Dennis Quaid is such a great actor ❤️
his role right now is pretending to be victim when his home was spared , guess you missed his interview on jan 7th asking for unity and not making it political
He's fantastic. Doesn't he come out on a number of canceled (recalled) TV shows?
The narrow winding roads that make certain neighborhoods charming are also death traps. I hope the streets and roads are reconfigured during the process of rebuilding.
The insurance companies knew the LAFD was underfunded, understaffed and lacking good leadership that could have strategized a better fire prevention plan. Bass is absolutely to blame for this catastrophe. Get her out of office NOW!
"With the new contract approved, the budget for the fire department in Fiscal Year 2024 - 2025 increased from $819.6 million to $895.6 million. When compared to the previous year's budget (Fiscal Year 2023 - 2024), this current year's fire department budget in total is larger by $58.4 million. "
@ inflation was 10% during that time so they were still short by 30 million. LAFD has one firefighter per 1000
@ residents. Most large cities have 2 firemen per 1000 people
It was all foreseeable
The same people who want her to step down most likely voted for her. What were the credentials of the person who opposed her?
The Fault Line.
Justine Bateman - pray there will be no earthquakes - or will that be the fault of Karen Bass too.
Musical Selection - T. Marshall Kelly - Nobody's Fault But Mine.
I respect the opinions of any man who has been inside Rick Moranis.
People vote for mediocrity and expect greatness
Recall Bass!!!
Can you just say ‘resignation’?
Let me see if I can find a tear for someone who has 3 multimillion dollar homes. Nope, not coming.
Well I can say that I'd feel 3 million times more sorry for someone who had a $300,000 home, lost it and voted Republican than I would someone who had 3 x $3m homes, lost them all and voted Democrat.
As someone whose home was destroyed by a hurricane I'd advise everyone whose home was destroyed to hire a good attorney before submitting your insurance claim. The insurance companies are going to do all they can to pay out the least amount as possible.
Newsome and Bass will be re-elected. Look at Maui.
You know that's never going to happen. Dei😢
A day late and dollar short. They did their dirty deeds and now you want to get rid of them.
None of these celebrities cared about the policies they lived under until their houses burned down.
Yeah, let's point fingers, do investigations and go after everyone. Do not look at your physical location, the circumstances, and the history of LA.
Firefighters and other rescue personnel say to always be prepared. I have never in all my years of training and experience ever been told, "Make sure the mayor is responsible for everything. You should just sit at home and let them do all the work including saving your but whenever there is trouble."
I am not defending the mayor. She left us in a time of need. But at the same time, the media gave everyone time to prepare or at the very least, brace for impact.
Her name is Karen 😂😂😂
Police academy 30.
Steve : “but this time it’s personal”
Mel: “leave Gavin for me he’s mine”
Dennis “bass is mine”
BASS AND ALL LEADERSHIP ARE GRANTED A FREE PASS DUE THE WINDS WHICH ARE CURRENTLY STARTING AGAIN AND STRONGER THAN THE FIRST ROUND.
RECALL BOTH MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES AND GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA
Dennis you know why the Palisades Village is still intact? Because the City and State required it to be built to fire standards. Not because Caruso has his own design standards. Evacuation plan? Well did you bother to ask about an Evacuation plan before the fire? No you didn't ask!!
Karen Bass, Janisse Quiñones, Gavin Newsom and Eleni Kounalakis need to go!
The insurance companies did the right thing. Why would they insure a tinder pot? Blame the politicians who decided to dump common sense fire precautions.
Why do people have 3 multi million dollar houses in the same place. Income inequality is the real story here.
There is no wildfire fighting system set-up...
