[@brucespencer6877]

feel so bad for such an important city to have such an embarrassing government

[@1ABNDT]

Why, 70% of them voted for the policies. It's the other 30% I feel sorry for.

[@markrattenbury9924]

YEH IT HEARD TRUMP WAS IN..

[@SM-te3xm]

Corrupt government. Lies! Lies!

[@moonbeam178]

She wasn't that angry. She went to Ghana

[@Jeanne90275]

That grinning fool of a mayor needs to resign as does the Deputy Mayor she appointed, who is at this time, on leave due to the bomb scare he allegedly made.

[@kenleibrick1390]

Deputy Mayor "Brian Williams began working in Bass’ office in March 2023, and was tasked with working with the police and fire departments, along with other critical safety departments."

[@kenleibrick1390]

Salary a little under 150k.

[@virginiawallace3557]

@@Jeanne90275 I'm amused (but angry) that these government officials think WE THE PEOPLE ARE STUPID!

[@tomfortier1314]

She needs to resign. She is an embarrassment to the city of LA, state of California, and the national.

[@mantralife6620]

Newsome and Bass need to resign NOW

[@yan-t9q]

Have to send them go to Jail!

[@markrattenbury9924]

COULD YOU HAVE DONE BETTER? REALLY?... PRAT

[@InventorKnight]

Updates? Resignations is more in line.

[@jamesbaran9409]

From the governor on down to the last city councilman should be told they are no longer have a job they should be removed from office they are the ones who are responsible for what she is about to talk about and don't let them kid you

[@SaltyBollocks1]

It's a room full of total incompetence.

[@mantralife6620]

You know what didn’t work?! YOU

[@LandoniDrums]

All you hear is focused, prepared but…. You aren’t focused, DEFINITELY weren’t prepared…. No water is soooooo mind blowing

[@carlscalise4880]

More excuses and lies its time to resign

[@slstewart316]

Oh so NOW y’all are committed ‼️. Disgraceful 💯

[@kristoferusrangga2041]

I think her government should step down as gesture for accountability for such a poor handling and management

[@hopehealsinternationalmini4291]

[@TheBlueThird]

Trump has no control over this

[@MrSun7550]

Recall and investigate

[@mantralife6620]

Too little too late!

[@davelassiter392]

With the bare soil left behind by the fire, the next foreseeable disasters are floods and mudslides. To mitigate these risks, it’s crucial to start purchasing seed to stabilize the soil and help reduce flooding.

[@jennvogel8245]

THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE 24/7 as far as patrol and protection....whats happening with there tax $ that u have to rely on outside resources to do what you should have been doing all along?!?!

[@fragginfrakers8499]

[@carlscalise4880]

Yea but you weren't even around resign

[@KM-kp1dz]

The only thing we want to hear from Bass is, "I submit my resignation effective immediately."

[@TheSophisticatedmay]

Pat Benetar said it's a little too little it's a little too late 😢

By the time fire is out the city of LA declared bankruptcy.

[@quintonmcclellan3279]

This is a perfect example of the blind leading the blind

[@andrewolearnick5739]

Bass refused help from the firefighters of NY to help. Good job voting this one in.

[@newrivertroll1553]

These officials all need to immediately resign for their dereliction of duties and total incompetence. Then, be thoroughly investigated and held accountable.

[@mattyoung7410]

RESIGN!! WHY was the reservoir empty months before? Quinonez RESIGN! NEWSOME RESIGN!! NOW!

[@davehue9517]

They're all getting defensive and Bass especially is getting antagonist... she's failed and she knows it

[@Peter_T123]

Mayor first to go?

[@davidpaz9389]

Doesn't look like a very diverse group of officials. And diversity is far more important than ability, know how, and compentency.

[@scott5106]

Holistically didn't work for Kamala either.

[@matthewweise8776]

Want to do something? Step down and resign! You failed, Gavin failed. Show some accountability.

[@majajovanovic8927]

You send money to Ukraine and dont have money for basic needs in LA

[@joshlock4627]

Resign !!!! Then, all go to prison

[@ineedmoney86]

Lookin like a librarian. This thing is not equipped to run a city. Just resign already. Her negligence has caused enough problems for us. Go on another “vacation” that we the people have to pay for.

[@rnvrnv354]

Go back to Ghana and take Gavin with you!

[@donniehammond2777]

She seems so Joviel and enthusiastic about the support. She has behind her she doesn't have a clue about the devastation. In the psychological effects on all the citizen she has no clue, that's the problem they'll be excused after excuse and it all get better I promise

[@apborick5796]

It's kinda strange ms bass couldn't answer any questions without her staff being present to put the words in mouth.

[@jefferykunze4894]

Can’t wait till this is all over. We are the people will vote. You are sorry asses out of office. Or just resign so you don’t face the humility that is going to come.

[@ezmadarlington942]

HOW ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY FOR FAILURES. How about abuse of power, and how many contractors have you already made “deals”. May the citizens decide the fate of these incompetent people!

I’m a Democrat and she needs to resign. Replace her with a better Democrat. Unreal.

Please please please please Karen Bass… I’m begging you please resign

[@lindaashmore1246]

What crap

[@optimusprimus89]

She literally does not care. They're just doing damage control. They're still refusing to open the dams up to let the water come in. Fires are barely contained what an absolute joke

I can't continue to watch with that major face in this report. Resign!

[@markcallicoat3966]

Lock Those up

[@rikgto9351]

How is the recall going , it needs to reach 150,000 signatures. Looks,like the chief had a “talking to”

[@弃方得]

Charming and confident smile

[@worldtraveler2020]

What do you think about the link to the project "smart city LA"? Is this a reason for fire?

[@thescrolls9190]

Newsome and the Fire Chief are to blame unless we’re going to ban mayors from international travel. I don’t like Bass but Fire Chiefs are appointed for a reason. Small brush fires shouldn’t do this to a major city with a $813M FD budget. Mayors don’t check and verify hydrant systems our department readiness.

[@hunterflan8428]

she's always smiling, like read the room, no one wants you to smile and talk about how this is an opportunity to rebuild? Cancel the olympics!@!!1

[@JuliaKhan-ps3fp]

So did you all learn a lesson? This is not the first nor the last.

[@Ghostmanriding]

Will Karen Bass attend the funerals of the citizens who died in the fires?

Can we put a 50’ wall around lost angeles county, PLEASE?

[@Moorslayer1]

California voted for these liberal policies. How’s that working out for you?

[@OregonPacificRailroad]

Am I the only one that caught how the mayor reacted when she found out the ATF would be taking over the lead on the fire investigations? LOL. Uh-oh. controlling the release of info on how all these fires were human and homeless caused is now out of her hands! LOL

[@brucespencer6877]

stay focused on the fire, not who needs to be fired

[@gnarlantlers70]

Factitious disorder imposed on another - karen bass defunding the fire department, emptying the reservoirs and not clearing brush. Then blaming climate change after defunding the fire department, emptying the reservoirs and not clearing brush.

[@susanhayward9719]

How does this compare to what services were given to Hawaii and NC?

[@lonewolvesonwheels]

I thought she fired her chief

[@nickbondarenko8889]

Resign!!!!!

The Interpreter is making up his own statements.

[@leanacarey1493]

100 billipn to rebuold with 10 years estiamete to rebuild... Water infrastrruce and brush cleaning and water on each home to sprinkle roofs per home and yards would have helped. Simple to simlpe...for Liberal Dems.

"BIGGEST FIRES EVER"!.. You cannot put ALL THE BLAME ON 1 PERSON, it was a series of natural events and human errors to bring about..the perfect Firestorm! The Mayor also was under pressures by her bosses, to save fiscally and make the hard decisions THAT YOU put in trust to her! COULD YOU HAVE DONE BETTER? I THINK SHE HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB, AND BEEN THERE FOR THE PEOPLE in this horror show that's yet to END! "THANKYOU KAREN..YOU ROCK"!, "KIA KAHA KAREN", and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Also, Peace to the fallen! Take care everyone,GOD BLESS! ❤NZ
