Welp, if farmers supported Trump, they'll be sorry. Along with those of us who eat their produce...

Californian here. Knew all this the minute it happened and tried to tell my Republican friends where the water was going to end up and who depended on it. Of course, they didn't believe it. Can't convince the Maga cult of anything. One of them told me that he cares about people and that he's a great speaker. Cough cough. Yeah. We can agree to disagree.

DUNE is also a cogent warnin g against the dangers of believing in prophesied messiahs and falling for cults of personality. As I remember, Paul Atreides ended up trapped in his as things got worse and worse and the jihad got bloodier.

It's as edible as the product within.

"Now... we know the rest of the story, and it’s exactly as stupid and outrageous as you expected, and then some." And Trump supporters couldn't care less.

In a photo with the Post story, a sign reads "Politicians, Stop Dumping Our Farm Water in the Ocean" atop a faded, falling-down Trump sign.

Hey genius: Trump dumped your farm water in the desert. Is that better?

The trouble with democracy is that idiots outvote smart people.

Well, they only said that the water was flowing toward southern California, not that it would or ever did make it.

Yeah, but...

Southern California is below where those dams are, so shouldn't gravity kick in and the water naturally flow down toward LA?

"the Army Corps told them the dams would be releasing the water, so get ready, here it comes. One Tulare County official notified colleague Denise England by email, late in the afternoon, that the Army Corps planned a “maximum release of water beginning tonight.”

Isn't that exactly what the proven rapist, convicted felon, hater of our troops and cops and Constitution Trump said to Stormy Daniels? "Get ready, here it comes! Maximum release of water beginning tonight!!!!"

So, normal DOGE, they waste a ton of money flying cross country for a photo shoot but didn't actually do anything to improve the government.

Maybe they need to be renamed "DORCs?" "Destroy or Ruin Corruptly?"
