Trump goofs again and billions of gallons of water needed by California farmers is lost forever.
We've warned before about the danger of incompetents in high places, and Trump just lowered the bar even further.
Obviously some moron in the White House (probably Stephen Miller) said, "Hey, I have a good idea. Why don't we drain some reservoirs in northern California and let the water run downhill to Los Angeles" To which agent orange replied, "Duh, sounds like a good idea to me".
Of course, no one checked to see if the water would actually go to Los Angeles -- in fact, it won't! There are physical barriers preventing it. In order to re-route he water it will have to be pumped over great distances and at great cost; but no one thought to check. Aside from that the fires were sustained by 100 MPH winds, and no fire department in the world could stand up to that.
So, now that water, so necessary for the farmers is lost forever.
Amateurs, fools, and arrogant numbskulls do not act, they react --shoot from the hip -- and never consider the ramifications of rash acts before they blindly rush on.
If this is the way they screw up something as innocuous as water, what is happening to out nuclear arsenal?
Kim Jong Un said it best -- dotard, and we have to live with it until we fix it with the implementation of the 25th Amendment.

President Donald Trump recently ordered the release of massive amounts of water from two California dams, and now local farmers are scrambling to preserve precious freshwater resources needed for dry summer months. The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — acting on Trump's orders — released water from the Terminus Dam at Lake Kaweah and the Schafer Dam at Lake Success, which are both in Tulare County in the San Joaquin Valley. Whereas water was originally flowing from the Terminus Dam at 57 cubic feet per second (cfs), it's now reportedly flowing at more than 1,500 cfs. The flow from Lake Success went from 105 cfas to 990 cfs as of Friday morning.
In a post to his official X account, Trump tweeted a "photo of beautiful water flow that I just opened in California," writing: "Today, 1.6 billion gallons and, in 3 days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons." He suggested that the water release would help officials in the Golden State fight wildfires in Southern California.
"Everybody should be happy about this long fought Victory!" he tweeted. "I only wish they listened to me six years ago – There would have been no fire!"
There is more of his blithering idiocy here:
Who’s going to put a stop to this madness, where are the checks and balances that the constitution put in place to protect our democracy from tyrannical regime?
Just the thought that an immigrant nonetheless with no security clearance just tapped into the most powerful American government system and nobody could stop him, how fucked up is that?
OMG HELP US ALL
With "President" #47 nominating an unqualified conspiracy theorist to head the HHS, could California save itself from another pandemic by creating its own vaccine development and approval process? This way if the NIH goes off the rails Californians could have access to needed research and medicines.
