President Donald Trump went off the rails when asked about California wildfires during his first full day in office. He claims city officials are diverting "limitless" water to the ocean through a "massive valve."

    He claimed Los Angeles limits residents to just 38 gallons of water a day, and referred to some mythical “valve” that could bring limitless water to L.A., but that officials instead diverted to the ocean.

    “They have a valve, think of a sink but multiply it by many thousands of times the size of it, it’s massive. And you turn it back toward Los Angeles. Why aren’t they doing it? They either have a death wish, they’re stupid or there’s something else going on that we don’t understand,” Trump said.

        If it’s of any comfort I’m predicting he’ll die within the next 4 years. But I’m also predicting it’ll only get worse with his death so maybe there’s not much comfort to be had.

          If he died of old age tomorrow, his followers would probably think it was a deep state assassination. There would be no convincing these nutjobs that an old, unhealthy person like Trump could die.

          Yeah, I’m pretty sure Vance will be even worse for the country.

            Has Vance shown any dictatorial tendencies?

              Yes. His podcasts appearances are probably the best source. The Behind the Bastards episodes about Curtis Yarvin do a pretty good job of covering it.

              This article will give you a decent overview: https://newrepublic.com/article/183971/jd-vance-weird-terrifying-techno-authoritarian-ideas

      You know what they say. Everything that comes out of their mouths is either a confession or projection!

      Stupid does apply here, just not in the way he thinks it does. Also, who is “they”? Is he just referring to liberals?

        I hate “they”. Whenever someone at work says “they” I immediately ask “who?” and don’t get off of it until they actually name a person. Does wonders for stopping the random boogeyman.

    this is America.

    a zombie state that doesn’t realize it’s already dead.

    and nobody is willing to do what must be done to stop it.

    President Musk*

    It’s disrespectful to refer to him by his subordinates.

        It’s fucking wild how closely this skews with Revelation. The Beast and the Antichrist were two different people. The Beast distracted while the Antichrist ruled.

      Do not conflate willful and spiteful ignorance with mental disability. Only one is a choice.

    He’s clearly suffering from dementia. Too old to drive, too old to govern. That’s what meemaw always said.
