Summary

California officials warned that Trump’s order to release massive amounts of water nearly caused severe flooding for farmers.

Trump boasted about the move, claiming it would help fight wildfires, but experts said the water couldn’t reach affected areas, which are over 200 miles away.

The Army Corps of Engineers initially planned to release water at maximum capacity but scaled back after urgent pushback.

Experts warned the water could have been better used months later for irrigation.

    He didn’t miss, he hit people in the crowd.

    It’s about what I expect from conservative shooters. Shooting everyone except the people who should be shot.

        Buying guns is easy as long as you have money. Getting proper training and improving via practice requires effort and discipline.

        Much easier to show off how much $$$ you dumped on a fancy rifle.

        When you’re the right flavor of stupid and arrogant, things like getting training, following the rules, and keeping things calm & predictable are just signs of weakness and lack of confidence.
