Seems that water releases to protect the smelt have been occurring for years, but were halted last year. The diversions to protect the smelt sent water to the Pacific rather than for agricult. or reservoir use. Trump probably couldn’t understand aqueducts, so someone described them as half pipes
It also hasn't rained for like a month in Portland, so not sure it would be a good idea to turn on the faucet and start sending our water (not a real thing anyway?) to California.
I wish sites like this were more effective at actually propagating good information up. I 100% understand trump is full of shit, but _can someone please actually just say what he's actually talking about_? is there some half-built bad-faith something somewhere? is it truly fabrication from nothing?
thank you for the link: there is no existing "faucet" or anything of the sort, and an (undeserved) best-faith reading of the suggestion is to resurrect failed legislation to divert the Snake River in Idaho to the Colorado river, and then divert that to California; 2 expensive and unstarted projects.
I mean, yes. But since he’s just going to keep saying it regardless and no one who doesn’t already realize it’s ridiculous will read further, I think a better approach is to ask why he doesn’t go turn on the Giant Faucet himself then. Surely he is more powerful than Newsom so let’s see it! Chop chop
what frustrates me is that he claims A, we claim B, only one side is based in truth, and yet both sides communicate by saying "A! obviously!" and "B! obviously!". why the hell are we not leaning into the fact that WE UNIQUELY HAVE FACTUAL BACKING and cite and clearly communicate that backing?
Nonetheless, he truly believes this narrative. Remember, he went on about it in his first Admin as well. If you go back on YouTube, Way Back Machine and look at his interviews from 80-90s, his socio-political ideologies talked about then have not changed at all—some he's finessed a bit, albeit.

Why do they use every word but lies??? They are lies. Trumpers only understand short words. “Falsehoods” is too hard for them and it makes them feel dumb so they run back to Trump to make them feel smart again.
same. lived in the PNW my whole
life and am wondering what the fuck the demented fascist/rapist/racist/felon/traitor/attempted coup leader could possibly be referencing. some super garbled nonsense about the columbia river dams is the best i can come up with????

But it appears that this article states that the environmentalists are upset because the state is not releasing the water…
Figuring out what Trump means…
and water runs down south to california
through the mountains and hills.
