So glad we have absolute chaos and complete disregard for rule of law or common sense under donvict.
Big shout-out to the self-righteous holier-than-thou fools that not only threw away their vote, or sat out, but openly lobbied others to do so as well, because obviously Kamala would have been just as bad.
So we can all understand what is happening, I mapped it out. The dams empty into Tulare Lake. The fires are in LA and contained. The article notes that there has been no plan released to transport the water from Tulare Lake to the fires (that are contained and have sufficient water). Historians will laugh at how stupid this is.
Indianapolis: After weeks of efforts, we have contained the fire and have things under control.
Trump: I got this. Force Chicago to have more water!! Done 👌
Funny part is how much farmland is up there… They may not have enough left in the dam after this to endure the very long hot summers.
They want to waste the water so they can create a drought in the late summer.
Why are federal shitbags allowed to tamper with state dams? Isn’t their whole thing about “states’ rights?” No, wait, that was actually about owning people. My bad.
No no no, States Rights was never about owning people.
The CSA constitution outright said states couldn’t make laws stopping people from owning people.
States Rights came up post LBJ with the Republican Southern Strategy to tell all the former dixiecrats ‘You should vote for us because the national government took away your states rights to legally be racist shitbags’
What a complete and utter moron. He’s just wasting water to try and make some kind of political point.
“I don’t know where this water is going, but this is the wrong time of year to be releasing water from these reservoirs. It’s vitally important that we fill our reservoirs in the rainy season so water is available for farms and cities later in the summer,” Gleick said.
“This is going to hurt farmers,” Vink said. “This takes water out of their summer irrigation portfolio.”
I guess we won’t need those migrant workers to pick crops if the farmers can’t grow them in the first place. What a stable genius.
It was not immediately clear how or where the federal government intends to transport the water
Ok then.
Are there any federal officials left with any integrity? Like everyone is just doing any damn thing this fuckhead wants. Are those dams even federal property?
any dam thing
…
Sorry
Exactly! That pos has the attention span of a potato. Just tell him “yes sir, all done” and he’ll forget all about it
What I’m finding weird about this wave of Trumpisms is how Californians are apparently content being abused by Trump like that. I mean you’re the biggest economy in the Union so act like it.
What are we supposed to do?
I mean not that they accomplish anything on their own, but I’d expect protests at least. Not just vague anti-Trump protests, but ones with concrete goals like “stop withholding our FEMA money”. If that doesn’t work then put pressure on state officials to stand up to Trump’s abuse of your state, or maybe go on strike, there are a lot of things you can do to make the federal government stop treating you like a punching bag. What I’m finding strange is that nobody is doing anything at all, or at least anything that’s making the news.
38.3% of California voted for this.
Farmers, that’s your summer water going downstream.
I pass your signs complaining about Democrat’s policies or praising Trump. I’m keeping an eye out this summer knowing this happened.
The faithful in the qon qult find a way to blame anyone else but donvict and the Republicans. They ALWAYS do.
They gonna blame Newsom. Trump wants to undermine the governor so he doesn’t get reelected in 2026. So he can install a crony.
The San Joaquin Valley drought will also be blamed on liberals, Democrats, and DEI.
Soon: All those Mexicans (sic) stole that water and refuse to work! Thats why you have no food!

My thoughts exactly. Releasing water before the growing season begins makes zero sense. They said it wasn’t to make capacity for an upcoming storm either so just pure dumbassery all around.
Destroying America one State at a time, exactly what putin hired him to do.
Going after the very most important state first, too, it seems. California is easily the state that matters the very most. It’s really our crown jewel if we are to be honest.
Extra crazy points racked up for the stupid base because they tend to be very jealous of California if they live in a shithole red state.
Destroying the big Denocrat votong blocks.
Classic Trumpism, making symbolic gestures that are not just pointless, but also actively harmful.
I mean there will be more water down stream for a few days and then absolutely none until they close the dam and let it build back up over a few years…
They don’t need the water now. It’s for farmland, but this isn’t the time of year they need it.
So what you’re saying is it’s an investment in draining off the needed water for the future. Meaning in a few years when they are running low on reserved water for crops California will lose revenue on crops, and food prices will increase across the U.S.
Try later this summer. We stock up rain during our rainy season, which is now. He’s trying to tank our economy because he hates California.
So… his initial complaint was that there was not enough water being released to fight the wildfires, right?
But they’re not out of control any more, are they?
So the reason for doing this is, I guess, if you keep everything wet, there won’t be a fire?
It’s to waste water so California is hurting come summertime
I don’t think there’s much thought process.
Trump, meanwhile, shared a photo on X of water pouring from a dam, saying: “Photo of beautiful water flow that I just opened in California.”
“Today, 1.6 billion gallons and, in 3 days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons. Everybody should be happy about this long fought Victory!,” Trump wrote. “I only wish they listened to me six years ago — There would have been no fire!”
I suspect he’s thinking that releasing more water would keep everything lush and green.
Oh I see, floods are just something that happen in the Bible. I get it now.
This is a states rights issue if there ever was one
Californian droughts are simple, just turn open those big taps that those dummies have turned off for some reason
What a stable genius you guys have elected
Good thing he can’t be punished for anything he does. Good thing the US citizens are just gonna let him do whatever he wants. Good thing he doesn’t have to involve the state government to enact whatever crazy ideas he has. Good thing blue states won’t be able to protect their residents, like they say they will. Good thing all these leaders have direct access to him, yet none of them will do what’s necessary to stop him.
This shit is gonna spread across the globe, and the only people who will suffer is average person.
I’m not even American and my hours got cut the last time he was elected because tariffs nearly killed the company I worked for. I wish one of those old as fuck politicians in his orbit would use what little time they have left to end this bastard.
