Remember when George W. Bush flew over New Orleans after Katrina destroyed parts of the city and he was attacked by Democrats as being too distant from the misery and devastation, looking at it high above from Air Force One? All he was doing was getting a better view of the devastation.
Today, we learn that the California assembly just gaveled in a special session to fight President Trump while wildfires are raging in Los Angeles and leaving nothing but death and burned out ruin in its wake.
New: California lawmakers in the Assembly have gaveled into the special legislative session to help the state prepare for legal battles with the incoming Trump administration.
Democrats moved forward with the bill to get $25m to CADOJ—-will have budget hearing Monday.

Lawmakers in the State Senate did, too.
In that house, they established the budget and fiscal review committee that will consider the special session bill (which could be accomplished without a special session).

This Ashley Zavala confronted the speaker of California’s Assembly about this:
As wildfires rage in Los Angeles, Speaker of California's Assembly Robert Rivas would not answer my questions, if now is the right time to have a special session to legally fight Donald Trump.

Even while death and destruction are happening in their biggest city, all they care about is fighting Trump. This is why every one of these Democrats need to be kicked out of office. They are destroying the state and don’t give a damn about the victims.
