Both. It’s been a problem for a long time. Most of the lands these fires have been burning on are Federal jurisdiction, and Congress has been negligent in appropriating funds and designing programs. That’s been true under both Republican and Democratic control.

This is the kind of clueless grievance fable that makes me wish for a faster demise of the Republican Party. Trump Administration did not rake any forest floors, and fires were burning through his presidency. Climate change is happening, with its more extreme weather.
Your solution? Cheaper petroleum?
You might as well dump gasoline on the forests.

Jim do believe the extreme forest fires are a result of poor forest management or severe drought from man made climate change and bark beetle?

Xavier,
I’m not a Democrat. I’ve never been a Democrat.

I don’t claim to have the answers, but I don’t see any states under Republican control that have economies to match California, job creation to match California, pollution levels dropping to match California, or anything else for that matter to match California.

This recall attempt was a desperate attempt by a party that can’t present viable options to the voters of California that will result in their being elected to state-wide office, so they tried an end-run around those voters.

If the Republicans have such great ideas, why can’t they win?

THE CONSERVATIVE WAY HAS NOT PROVEN TO WORK IN THIS DROUGHT TEMPERATURE! PROVE IT YOU LIAR!!

XAVIER IS A HATER THAT KEEPS LOSING LMAO

GROW CASH CROPS YOU MEAN XAVIER! THANK GOD REPUBLICANS LOST RECALL. YOU ALL ARE IGNORANT CONSPIRACY THEORIST

The forest fires are out of control because climate change and BARK BEETLE! THE DROUGHT MAKES IT WORSE. YOU PROBABLY ALSO BELIEVE TREES SPOTANTUESLY COMBUST LIKE TRUMP TELLS YOU RIGHT

Jim
Our valley sky every summer gets darkened by the ashes of trees burnt up in mega fires because of democrat forest policy’s. You guys stopped logging because you wanted to save trees even though many of you live in houses made of wood . Your new forest management ideas burn up more trees than the loggers ever cut . At least the logging companies replanted trees and the wood provided a huge economic boost . Now look at your democrat policy on water. It’s simple let water go out to the ocean and blame farmers for fish dying off when the real problem is all the cities dumpling untreated water into the Delta to flush the toxic waste out to sea . You guys claim to love the environment but actions speak louder then words . The Delta Smelt is thought to be extinct in the wild because of your party’s failed policy. Republicans have real answers to our problems. You claim we ignore science but if you ask me your party ignores it . The Conservative answer , to stop the mega fires is to go back to forest management that was proven to work . The Conservative answers to our water problems is to stop dumping waste water into the delta. Build water treatment plants that can handle it . Send water back to farms so they can grow the products that people need . Your party’s politics raised oil prices which hits the hard working people in the pocket book with higher gas prices. Now you are calling us racist but we just voted for a black man for governor while all you voted for a rich white guy who lets violent criminals out of jail , criminals who go out and hurt innocent people. All talk no action . California has lots of problems your democrat run city’s have poop and needles in the streets and all you can do is point your finger . Why don’t you and your party actually fix our problems instead of creating them
