      The water wasn’t used for firefighting.

      The whole idea was to cause crop failures, which Trump will of course blame California for.

        I still find it absolutely wild that the president of the US has this much power, that the president can be an unqualified, incompetent drooling fucking moron and they are allowed to veto sensible knowledgeable people and do dangerous, stupid things like control the dumping of reservoirs.

        WTF is wrong with America? In my country we have a parliamentary democracy and a civil service of qualified, intelligent people. We don’t allow one total fucking imbecile to ride roughshod over everything and ruin anything they like. US congress is like some useless appendix right now when it should be in charge of making these decisions.

          It’s wild how one lunatic is given so much authority to do so much damage. What if everyone in America all just collectively agreed to ignore him? I mean the military, the government, everyone responsible for carrying out his orders
