Trump is going to cause genuine damage

I am skeptical about many things, especially what is reported about Trump.

Do I think his admin could do something as stupid as reported? Yes. But I'll wait to see what was going on and the explanations all around before jumping to any conclusions. Just like when I said "No way the Mavs traded Doncic for Davis. No one is that stupid. Let me see proof."
If we learned anything from the first Trump presidency, it’s to never EVER trust the media.

I know I'm laughing my ass off...especially at AOC referring to Elon as unintelligent.

One simply can't make this shit up.
Dunning Kruger sq x 1,000 ? But damn she can mix a great sex on the beach.... if the ingredients are all pre measured for her, with the instruction on the bottom of the bottles !
 
It can handle any volume given enough time, I'm sure. It's the rate at which it would conduct the water that is mentioned as not being enough to achieve the result they might have wanted.
Yeah, sorry, poor terminology on my part. By "volume," I meant "flow rate." I'm trying to learn about this connection. The only connection between Tulare and the aqueduct I can find is the Kern River Intertie, which wouldn't help here, because it's too far south and in a different feeder stream. There must be some other "valve" they are referencing there.

Or the report is wrong. Entirely possible.

You think the media manufactured all those quotes from water management officials and farmers saying this was a stupid decision and done with virtually no warning or coordination with local officials? I get not trusting the media, but in this case, you have to assume that the story is entirely fabricated to not at least tentatively agree this was probably incredibly dumb. And we know the story wasn't entirely fabricated, because Trump himself bragged about the water release on social media.
 
It's almost like a quick search on the interwebz does show in fact water is pumped up over dem dare mountains already. A simple review of the California Aquaduct wiki page would show that.
NO WAY that the Egyptians did that like 2,000 yrs ago. But it wasn't in the dem talking points.

This is EXACTLY what many of the invincibly ignorant believe.
 
BTW, if you really want to see what high grocery prices look like, f*ck with the Central Valley water supply. Every time you buy produce that says "California" on the packaging (which is all the time), it almost certainly came from the Central Valley.
 
NBC told me Trump is dumb to want the Panama Canal because water literally has to be transported over literal mountains for a ship to go through it...literally.
I can't tell if this post needed a Sarcasm Meter or not.

So, let me just point out that the Romans designed aqueducts that could provide water into a river valley at one altitude and transmit water to the other side of the valley at a higher altitude by using a smaller diameter of aqueduct on the far side of the valley plus a closed (think almost "sealed") conduit on the far side. Kinda like the way capillaries work.

This is the correct answer.
From this article, it appears the Army Corp of Engineers interpreted the release was required by the Trump EO. I'm not sure that EO mentions these dams specifically.

reading more about this, the release looks like malicious compliance. See Air Force and Tuskegee Aimen Film.
 
You sound skeptical. He's been talking this shit for ages. The morons will point and say he could have beaten back the LA fires if that shitlib Newscum would have let him.

What did Newsom and Bass do after the Jan 3rd briefing by the NWS about the fire risk? Bass flew to Ghana and Newsom did what?

Oh, FFS. How do you twist so much at your age? I need some pointers. Is it the constant cycling? Does that keep your flexibility up?
I read the links. The release was sudden and without following any of the normal protocols accompanying a release of water. The manner and means of release is not part of the EO. We should expect the Army Corps to be professional in carrying out the EO. There is no other explanation.

That could all be correct without involving malice.
 
Even if there were malice, how would a proper release get water up into the water towers?
It wouldn't, but I think the question would be whether the EO required any release at all.

Again, the fact that Trump publicly celebrated this release kind of puts the hammer to this line of defense, but CO.H will grasp any straw he can.

My money would be on that the ACE ****ed up. Not purposely though. Trump threw out this EO insanely fast and with zero thought or direction. The ACEs probably freaked out about people in other agencies getting shit canned for not immediately bending the knee. They made hasty and poor decisions and here we are. Bad leadership.

There's also probably some tranny in the ACE that will get randomly blamed.

The wisdom of the release is a different issue from the manner of the release. Trump had nothing to do with the latter.

The very fact of the release was not wise. There was no manner in which it could be done to make it wise. He celebrated and bragged about a dumb decision. Even if you don't blame him for the manner in which it was carried out, the decision itself - on him - was a failure.

Do you have a link to the EO? Did he even specify where the release was to come from ?

HE BRAGGED ABOUT IT. He posted pictures of those very rivers! Even if he had nothing to do with it, he chose to take ownership of it! Jesus Christ, man, what does it take for you to admit this man can make a f*cking mistake?

Instagram always has influencers interviewing billionaires and super successful business people. To a person one of the top things they suggest is just make a decision. Don’t be indecisive. Don’t wait. Go.

That mentality might not comport with gov

Of course it doesn't comport. I don't even care about that right now. I just want CO.H to find the mental fortitude to admit that maybe, just maybe, Trump pushed the wrong button for once.

I don’t think he had a clue about the release. Ihe cudda thought the release would end up in SoCal.
