There is a gulf of difference between a leader saying they made decisions consistent with the situation, policy, and recent history; and a leader saying decisions that possibly allowed the fire to get out of control were the “right” decisions when resources were in reserve.
I agree that Monday morning quarterbacking is distasteful but then so is arrogance.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I don’t like language like “retribution” at all. If the best improvement is to look forward and stop the politicization of the FBI, then we should hope for that.
retribution implies turnabout is fair play. That’s childish. The FBI has been abusive.

I think these fires are a perfect storm scenario. Wind, fire, drought. And incompetent preparation.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)PJP2 had a really high profile during the Cold War. He did transcend Catholicism in my view.

The one that sticks out to me is HW Bush. He led the CIA and had a relatively inauspicious presidency, followed by a quiet post presidency (meaning he didn’t launch the Bush global initiative and seek celebrity…just like his son). I wouldn’t have thought that would score most admired points (and yes, I admired him at times though have revised my view of neocon republicans in recent years.).

Just rewatched the video of hillary asking the Chinese to find Trump’s tax returns. What a joke.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)It’s called plausible deniability.
When your libbie friends say things like “there’s no evidence of that, even the president says he hasn’t seen evidence of it!” You can refer to this.
“No evidence” is the modern refuge of people who are willfully blind.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Totally coincidental to your post I ran across the Yellowstone volcano doc on max last night. Yeah if that erupts, we are pretty much screwed.
