Question for Californians

Is this true?

Waiting for the ignorant rubes to claim this actually happened....

 

[Bodi]

What? The water is just sitting at the Oregon border? LOL

 

[Bok Tuklo]

Ladies and gentlemen, the American invasion of California was a success.

California officials said late Monday that the U.S. military did not enter the state and release a large flow of water, as President Donald Trump had earlier claimed in the latest back-and-forth between Trump and the state over water resources.

Sadly it is untrue.

California will continue to have chronic water shortages thanks to the idiot Dems who run the state refusing to add any new water storage in the last 45 years while the state's population almost doubled.

It is untrue and is something that Donald made up out of thin air in order to feel better about himself.

Hopefully some MAGA will come along and run air cover for him by deflecting to Democrats or immigrants, in order to feel better about themselves.

And right on cue, in comes @eman623 with the obligatory deflection. At least he's consistent and predictable.

It rained didn't it? All because of Trump. He's magic like that.

Welp...

Welp...

He's having hallucinations now.

That's reassuring.

I think that the real issue behind Southern Californias water shortage is that Southern California is a ****ing desert. Literally.

LA is a desert, and it is surrounded by deserts. They have to steal water from the Owens River Valley, the Colorado River, Oregon, NorCal, etc.

Hey, they buy all his other bullcrap...why stop now?

To do so would be very humiliating.

Putting People Over Fish: Stopping Radical Environmentalism to Provide Water to Southern California

January 20, 2025 MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR SUBJECT: Putting People

www.whitehouse.gov

But guess what? 47 is a dolt. The EO...My Bold Added

Putting People over Fish: Stopping Radical Environmentalism to Provide Water to Southern California

I hereby direct the Secretary of Commerce and Secretary of the Interior, in consultation with the heads of other departments and agencies of the United States as necessary, to immediately restart the work from my first Administration by the National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and other agencies to route more water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to other parts of the state for use by the people there who desperately need a reliable water supply.

During my first term, the State of California, at the direction of its Governor, filed a lawsuit to stop my Administration from implementing improvements to California’s water infrastructure. My Administration’s plan would have allowed enormous amounts of water to flow from the snow melt and rainwater in rivers in Northern California to beneficial use in the Central Valley and Southern California. This catastrophic halt was allegedly in protection of the Delta smelt and other species of fish. Today, this enormous water supply flows wastefully into the Pacific Ocean.

The recent deadly and historically destructive wildfires in Southern California underscore why the State of California needs a reliable water supply and sound vegetation management practices in order to provide water desperately needed there, and why this plan must immediately be reimplemented.
Within 90 days of the date of this memorandum, the Secretary of Commerce and Secretary of the Interior shall report to me regarding the progress made in implementing the policies in this memorandum and provide any recommendations regarding future implementation.


The water project he is referring to is not connected to consumer water infrastructure. Any added water will go to farmers and consumer serving reservoirs in the Central Valley. None of it will go to Los Angeles. This is not about that. It is about firing a direct broadside against the Federal Endangered Species Act.

47 appears to be unable to tell the truth about anything, most particularly about his level of intelligence.

Seriously. Most uninformed post of the week.

There are certainly deserts in southern California, but the L.A. region is a Mediterranean climate similar to that of Greece or Southern Italy.

Asking strictly to understand your perspective, with a promise of no snarky rebuttal: why do you, as a presumed supporter, think Trump would post this when it is so easily debunked? What's the strategy here?

I would invite any Trump supporter to take a shot at this one, with the same promise of no rebuttal.

Yes, the American Southwest is a desert. There simply is not enough water to support the growing population. This gap is further widened by climate change. The American Southwest has serious water issues.

Re mental state of POTUS: We are in deeper doo-doo than I ever imagined.

I imagined we would be in deep doo-doo, but thought it might take a little while before the doo-doo started to really smell bad. Thanks to Project 2025, we seem to already be there... and I doubt its going to get any better.

Sadly it is untrue.

I am not exactly certain what additional water storage would add to the equation as existing water storage facilities are not even remotely near capacity because of drought (largely the result of climate change).

Why Doesn't LA Just Put the Fires Out Using Ocean Water?

Why aren't firefighters just scooping up water from the nearby Pacific Ocean instead of relying on dwindling freshwater supplies?

No one expected the civilian skateboarders to fight so valiantly and for so long. Reinforcements from Loyola Marymount University — the social-justice warriors of Westchester — also fought bravely for California. Shameful that LAX air traffic controllers didn’t join the cause.

Whether it is technically a desert or not is not the point... the point is there is not much of a water reservoir nor enough rainfall to cater to 20 million people.

You are correct in that.
