Great how's the Smelt doing, ok joke aside. It needs some work to improve the watering system and build an extension to Los Angeles and Maybe San Pedro. Not just for fire prevention, like other essentials.

It looks as if Trump is attempting to sabotage California's agriculture by draining the reservoirs in winter. In the summer, the agricultural areas will need those billions of gallons of water but won't have it. The press needs to remember this event.

More food for thought: The Press.. how long before he shuts the news/press down?? He is very threatened by smart people, journalists in particular.. anyone remember “fake news”.. they will be considered enemies of the state.. the United States.. wonder how long before he changes our name?

From the article "California’s State Water project supplies water from Northern California to Southern California". So wait, whatever happened to "spigot"? Is or is not there a "spigot"? Or is it one of those "There was no smelt fish bill, because there was no bill by that exact name ever" thing?

It flowed to an area that may be flooded with the rain this week. The stupid ignored the Fresno-Tulare basin was a huge lake many years ago and it is prone to floods with excess water. This location is about 3-4 hours by car from the LA fires, with mountain ranges or a big desert in the middle.

The Founding Fathers envisioned the separation of powers as that mechanism. What they didn’t envision was those two branches spinelessly refusing to do their jobs

Doesn't matter. It wasn't about the water. It was about "I can." And knowing how he operates I think it was personal and directed at Newsom. Who has NO fear of Donald Trump. He plays him like an orange fiddle.

@cnn.com and, if they don't get rainfall, summer is going to be a bitch for irrigation. Not sure why the experts didn't ignore him (you know, like he ignores the courts and laws). But this makes for stories. So pat yourselves on the back for giving us an unqualified Convicted Felon/Sexual Assaulter

Trump’s Big, Wet Nothing Trump says, "I’m brilliant—watch it flow!" A trickle drips. Impressive? No. Calfornians sigh, "This helps no one." But Trump’s already claimed he’s won.

Or any migrant workers to help grow the food..or work construction.. then there’s the hospitality industry, hotels and restaurants.. cleaning and sanitation in the hospitals.. we will be so screwed!

Oh, look at that. Wasting CA's water supply for farming, deporting farm workers, then placing tariffs on produce from Mexico. The trifecta has been achieved. Icing? He's gonna blame Newsom for it.

Figures. California has to conserve water, so he wasted it in an attempt to send it to a place it doesn’t go. Now it’s just gone. Nice work, as always.

California farmers voted for this idiot and he will deliver his idiotic plan, taking water from farmers and alienating our neighbors with tariffs so they will not buy American goods and produce. Let the circus continue because that is what the MAGA Hats asked for! MAGA has left the building!

Water management is always a tricky issue, but it seems short-sighted to release that much water during the wet season without a clear plan for storage or distribution. Do you know if there’s a reason they couldn’t divert it for better use?

CNN's story is the water is being wasted, but the real story was Trump almost flooded California farmlands. "The Army Corps’ abrupt decision Thursday afternoon to dump water out of two Sierra Nevada reservoirs sent local water officials in Tulare County scrambling to avoid flood damage downstream."

politico.comTrump’s water deliveries are coming too fast for the Central ValleyTrump said Monday that the military “turned on the water.” On Thursday, they did.

There is something called unlawful orders. And those who foolishly commit crimes of unlawful orders will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. These are unlawful orders. Now go find those responsible and prosecute them in the state
