From the article...
“But on the recommendation of state officials who balked at the cost of paving the emergency spillway, the feds tabled the matter...”
“Trump’s fault” is the intended takeaway from the headline.
President Trump’s infrastructure plans have NOTHING to do with the Oroville mess. THAT is all on the State of California.
It exposes socialist’s misplaced priorities/responsiblites in regards to anything they should be responsible/held accountable for.
The Political Approach
When a politician views society from the seclusion of his office, he is struck by the spectacle of the inequality that he sees. He deplores the deprivations which are the lot of so many of our brothers, deprivations which appear to be even sadder when contrasted with luxury and wealth.
Perhaps the politician should ask himself whether this state of affairs has not been caused by old conquests and lootings, and by more recent legal plunder. Perhaps he should consider this proposition: Since all persons seek well-being and perfection, would not a condition of justice be sufficient to cause the greatest efforts toward progress, and the greatest possible equality that is compatible with individual responsibility? Would not this be in accord with the concept of individual responsibility which God has willed in order that mankind may have the choice between vice and virtue, and the resulting punishment and reward?
But the politician never gives this a thought. His mind turns to organizations, combinations, and arrangements — legal or apparently legal. He attempts to remedy the evil by increasing and perpetuating the very thing that caused the evil in the first place: legal plunder. We have seen that justice is a negative concept. Is there even one of these positive legal actions that does not contain the principle of plunder?
“The Law” - Frederic Bastiat
This article is a total waste of time: everybody already knows the Oroville disaster is President Trump’s fault: CNN said so ...
Obama? California?
First of all Trump should not have to pay attention to a sanctuary state.
So what if it burst? Toilets need to be flushed regularly anyway.
Trump's Fault™!

But the 'maintenance' method used by the public entities did not avert the near-disaster, so let's continue that failed method, not Trump's method.
Our proven failure is better than Trump's predicted future failure.
this dam was from inception to completion a state of Cali project. There was no fed involvement in this project.
Making up outright lies just means you are a liar. No matter how many lies you tell, you are still nothing more than a dishonest liar. Telling the same lie a thousand times just means you are still just a liar.
The problem with this construction project will come to the surface in short order and the responsibility falls directly on the state of cali and the head idiot, moonbeam, who would dearly love to tell this same lie and blame it on Trump...
This is moonbeams problem from beginning to right now and on into the future...
If that dam goes the state of cali will have one hell of a bill. Next time they build a dam they will probably put rebar in the cement on the spillway....
Historical analogue...look up the San Francisquito dam (also known as the St. Francis dam). A terrible dam failure where hundreds died downstream. March 12, 1928
The problem is too many lawyers & incompetent state officials.
This is dam scary!
Trump already screwed up a 50 year old damn without even touching it.
HAHAHAHAHA
CORRUPTION AND INCOMEPTENCE... THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS FOR 12 YEARS
WHERE DOES ALL THE TAX MONEY COLLECTED FOR WATER USE AND FEES GO???
MUCH LIKE THE MEW ORLEANS MAYOR.... RAY NEGAN USED FUNDS FOR THE REPAIR OF THE INDUSTRIAL CANAL STRUCTURE (the failure of which flooded the poor black section of new orleans) TO BUILD OF ALL THINGS..... A FOUNTAIN.....
i could care less if the entire state of california fell into the sea....
THE PEOPLE IN THE NORTH SHOULD SPLIT OFF FRFOM THE SOUTH..... if hey were smart
