Summary
California officials warned that Trump’s order to release massive amounts of water nearly caused severe flooding for farmers.
Trump boasted about the move, claiming it would help fight wildfires, but experts said the water couldn’t reach affected areas, which are over 200 miles away.
The Army Corps of Engineers initially planned to release water at maximum capacity but scaled back after urgent pushback.
Experts warned the water could have been better used months later for irrigation.
I think he has no idea what he is doing, and he has dismantled all the guardrails. According to project 2025 the entire country needs to be razed and dismantled. So they can rebuild it as Musk/Trump’s techno fascist state.That’s why Musk wants access to social security numbers, health data and addresses. Musk now knows where you live, what colour your skin is, your gender, your income and debt, and all your weak points. The Nazis did this, it helps with identifying perceived enemies of the state, deportation of immigrants and jailing or execution of political rivals. I am so sorry for those of you in the states who didn’t vote for this monster.
Why did that shooter have to miss?
“I went forward in time…to view alternate futures. To see all the possible outcomes of the assassination attempt.”
“How many did you see?”
“Fourteen million six hundred and five.”
“How many were successful?”
“All but one.”
Everyday I curse him for missing
“Inches from a better world” has been a common phrase on my mind, with the added benefit of really needing a lot of context before the magastappo get pissy.
When it comes to presidential assassinations, there’s really no replacing the efficacy of Marine Corps marksmanship training.
damn bruh, it’s like he’s trying to fuck the country in order to please a foreign adversary and spare himself an unpleasant fate.
trying to fuck the country
No just the blue states who dont like him
Edit: keyword “trying.” Hes trying to fuck the blue states. yall down voting me into oblivion like trump doesnt have a clear vendetta against calfiornia. Yea, hes hurting the whole country as collateral damage, but lets not pretend that parts on purpose. Hes an idiot who has never understood the ramifications of his decisions. This orange turd see and opportunity to hurt california , and he takes it becuase its California, not because hes smart enough to understand
Edit 2: in this same thread is a Comment that says “hes just trying to destroy california” with clear upvotes. Has lemmy become the reddit hive mind already? Sheesh
Destroying the nation’s food supply by flooding fields, deporting the workers, and imposing tarrifs on outside sources of food is objectively bad for the entire nation, and the only people who could possibly benefit are America’s global adversaries.
Even if Trump is too stupid to know it, the rest of his administration is not. The fact that they haven’t enacted the 25th amendment is a clear indication that hurting America is the goal.
A hungry crowd is an angry mob, and I’m increasingly worried this will end in mass violence.
Worried? Mass violence feels like my only hope at this point.
I wish we had a website that systematically track a running list of every single enshitification move that Traitorapist Trump had made to date so that they are all in one place.
Nah, bruv. Where does all of our domestic fruit and veg, and crops like almonds come from? California. The San Joaquin Valley. Who eats that stuff? You do. All of us. The plan is to fuck America. Why does trump do anything at all? To fuck America. That’s his job.
This the answer. California is one of our prize jewels for sure. If Vlad can monkey wrench that, it will do a lot of damage.
Naw man, murica first. He’s clearly playing 8d chess. Canada ain’t never dun nothin
He is a complete moron. He is wrong about literally everything and it is pathetic.
He’s so cartoonishly moronic, he makes Portal 2’s Wheatley look like a Harvard graduate.
I! AM! NOT! A! MORON!
Anti-intellectualism is one hell of a drug.
He is going to “common sense” America into Idiocracy. Remember his fantastic solution to COVID (injecting bleach + UV)? Or nuking hurricanes? When you make all the scientists run away, you end up with “the idea sounded good in my head… after a few beers”.
He’s weak, confused and incompetent.
This is literally terrorism.
What else could one expect from republicans?
What a fucking idiot
That’s putting it lightly. But I don’t blame you, language can’t easily express the level of moron we’re witnessing.
This isn’t about his ample idiocy. It’s about raising food prices.
Thanks, Kamala! This is her fault, right?
It’s just about everyone’s fault. Biden/Harris co-opted and crippled the opposition movement.
This motherfucker really is all four horsemen of the apocalypse all at once huh?
The drought in summer 2025 will be Trumps Drought.
Alongside Trumps Inflation.
He will blame whatever reactionary dogwhistle that’s currently plaguing the fascist MAGAts.
No it won’t. They’ll spin it as poor planning and mismanagement by liberal California, and their base will eat it up.
Right, but what real news will there be to report on it?
The Conservative subs have been really quiet for the last few days, after all their glee a fortnight ago.
Almost like they are hiding.
Oh no don’t worry there is plenty of leopards eating people’s faces going on. I’ve seen so many crying about how these tariffs are gonna cost them jobs. Also saw some posts by conservative women pissed off when they found out DEI includes them as well not just people of colour
Lemmy has conservative subs?
Yeah there are two: one at .world and one at .ee
I don’t know about the .ee instance, but the .world one tends to have every post downvoted to zero and every comment stating why conservatives are wrong. I try to keep my ear to the ground and know what crazy talking points conservatives are believing and the .world sub is pretty much useless for that. I don’t think there’s a single conservative that actually uses that sub.
Likewise, I like to pop into them from time to time. Check up on what insanity is their new flavor of the month.
They are just trying to destroy California.
Perhaps. Put on your tin foil hats… Maybe it’s to remove the lower socioeconomic class from California through drought, damage, and famine. Thereby making California a republican state because only the rich would be able to afford to rebuild. This means that California would vote red, pushing a large mass of electoral votes towards the other side.
I have a feeling that the republicans are now weaponizing “incompetence”, so they won’t be called out as much.
Holodomor 2: Orange Crush
Stalinesque
What an idiot.
