   Another possible source of comedy? HBO's REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER. The
   long-running host has shown a knack for truth-telling regardless of party
   affiliation. He's been a thorn in the Left's side for several years,
 mocking
   progressives for their extreme culture war positions and woke overreach.
  
   He's based in L.A. and might skewer pols who have made the problem
   exponentially worse. He's also a Climate Change alarmist and might
focus on
   that angle, even if there's no evidence climate change played a role
in the
   catastrophe.

 
 Of course it didn't. There's only so many ways these fires get started.
 Either
 nature starts them-- almost always via lightning strikes-- or humans start
 them. Sometimes it's because humans don't maintain the power lines and they
 fall over during high winds and spark fires, or they're caused by human
 negligence (a tossed cigarette butt) or arson.
 
 There was no lightning when these fires started and they've ruled out downed
 power lines. That leaves only one option left: someone started the fires,
 either accidentally or on purpose. It was not fucking 'climate change'.

 
 Didn't they catch someone trying to start one with a blowtorch and another
 with
 a cigarette lighter, and at least one is suspcted to be an illegal alien who
 is
 a member of a South Amercians gang?

 
 Yeah, the blowtorch guy was an illegal alien running around a neighborhood
in
 the hills and lighting garbage cans on fire. He was literally tackled and
 disarmed by residents and held until the cops showed up, but the LAPD later
 said they didn't have probable cause to charge him with arson, so they
charged
 him with felony probation violation instead.
 
 But they didn't turn him over to ICE, because even an illegal that's trying
to
 burn down the entire city must be protected from being kicked out of the
 country.
 

I'm impressed that the cops actually came. I would have thought they'd
be far too busy investigating hate crimes or whatever....
 
I truly don't understand how a guy seen setting fires doesn't have
enough evidence against him to justify an arson charge or ten unless he
somehow intimidated ALL of the witnesses into saying they'd seen nothing....

What do you want to bet that if he'd been a white guy wearing a MAGA hat, that
probable cause that was so elusive in the case of the illegal alien would have
magically appeared?
