Billions of gallons of irrigation water were wasted under Trump’s orders in what now appears to be a political stunt. drumpi did this, and the blame for lost FOOD PRODUCTION is entirely his. Simple sentences, words of few syllables, blame him, and hold his 'feet to the fire'. drumpi ordered BILLIONS of GALLONS of water wasted, so there will be less food.

He did it to fuck over California. He is a malicious actor that must be defended against at state level, local level, & individual level.
Come summer this will be more apparent to those folks here in CA that still somehow support him
"Not enough of California is suffering. This must be fixed."
His supporters out here are acting like they love it, because it hurt a lot of people they don't like. As we used to say back home, they'll gladly take a broken nose if it means breaking the other guy's neck.
Besides, now there's yet another thing that he can blame on his enemies, and the suckers will buy into it.
If he understood what he did it would be called sabotage.
Lucky for him, he doesn't speak French.
“Many counties across California’s rural Central valley – home to much of its roughly $59bn agricultural industry – backed Trump in the last election, forming a red strip at the heart of the blue state.”
““Farmers in the valley are hurting from water cutbacks, there is no question about that,” Holyoke said. “The answer isn’t to toss all the laws and court orders aside and throw lots of water at farmers. We simply need to find inventive ways to make the best use of the water that we have.””
Welp. Come this hot ass summer I hope they all high-five each other over their dead ass dry crops while fanboying over a baby dicked fascist. Especially when they have no one to tend their fields, their medicare is gone, and their kids don’t get to go to school anymore. Good job maga farmers.
and their kids don’t get to go to school anymore.
This part is actually a feature. You think desperate farmers are going to let crops rot in the field while their kids attend school? And that's just family farms! Just wait until the inner city high schools start getting tapped for factory farms!
I always like to give benefit of doubt that parents want better for their kids. I'm being gracious. ;p
Hey, @[email protected] ... I know you're new here and the post formatting can be hard to adjust to, but when quoting a story, you want to start each graf with a greater-than sign.
This indicates that you are not the speaker, which quote marks alone do not convey (not to mention the double quote marks that resulted, making my editor side go ballistic).
Oh weird. I used the formatting tool! I swear I thought it was like that when I closed the window.
The emperor has no bathing suit, the life guards were fired, and the people will find a way to blame the wrong thing.
Windmills! Those fucking Dutch.
Windmills? Where? Must. Start. Tilting. At. Windmills.
Glad someone got the reference.
Quexotic Quixotic Quixote Windmills Tilting
It's a conspiracy 😉
Well, guess we need to buy/invade the Netherlands now.
Dutch and Danes both start with D. Could be an honest mistake when we send the full might of the U.S. military to bear.
