    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 San Joaquin Valley drought will also be blamed on liberals, Democrats, and DEI.

      They gonna blame Newsom. Trump wants to undermine the governor so he doesn’t get reelected in 2026. So he can install a crony.

    California, come join your Northern brothers in Cascadia. At this point I would literally enlist in a militia at nearly 40 to make this happen.

    For now I’ll learn how to make drones.

    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.

      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.

      exactly what putin hired him to do.

      Stop repeating this nonsense. It’s extremely unlikely he’s being paid by Putin. Blackmail is much more likely.

        LOL! It’s President Felon, he is for sale from anyone with cash. He sells NFTs, steaks, gold shoes, bankrupts casinos and cheats on his taxes. Saudia Arabia, Turkey, Israel, Russia, etc., are paying him.

    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.

    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 👌

    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?

    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.

      I think these moves are planned, calculated even.

      • California wants independence? Oops you have no water and agriculture anymore … your fault for voting democrat.
      • Testing the integrity of the system. Experts who speak up? Who will stop him? Checks and balances?

    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.

      Given your concern about third-party voters, surely you’re working toward replacing the First-Past-the-Post (FPTP) system in your state. The election is over, and now is the time for the necessary changes. With a more representative voting system, people could vote outside of the two-party system, knowing their votes would still be counted against the Republicans if their preferred candidate didn’t win. States control their own voting systems, so we don’t need a miracle from Congress. We can change how we vote and allow third parties without worrying about a spoiler effect. Some states have already made this important reform.

      For example, Alaska recently held a referendum on whether to return to FPTP from Ranked Choice Voting, and it didn’t pass. Republicans were upset when Sarah Palin lost to a more moderate conservative under Ranked Choice Voting and tried to eliminate it. Democracy shouldn’t be about “vote for my choice, or else.” That’s a hostage situation and should be recognized as a crisis. The American people aren’t truly represented by the limited options in the voting booth. This is a crisis!

      Yet, the Democratic Party hasn’t abolished FPTP in many of the blue states they control. They prefer safe states and easy elections, avoiding tough questions—even if it means giving Republicans an advantage. Democrats have lost their “only ones resisting Republicans” narrative. They should have lost that privilege long ago, but we kept giving them chances. No more chances, no more safe states or seats. If Democrats truly believed what they say about Republicans, they’d welcome everyone into the electoral process to help defeat them.

      The United States of America is more important then the Democratic Party.

        They won’t, they wanna punch left and act like the ones with a black eye are to blame.

        They like being the default good option, it gives them unearned votes and good funding.
