Be curious what Red State governors are saying about Moonbeam behind closed doors. I’m sure Austin’s LCRA is there helping, great, but the politicians need to fry for this.

Get Rosie O’Donnell to help. She is used to putting her finger in the dyke.

Not everything. You haven’t suspended government handouts to illegal aliens to pay for it.

He could have fixed state infrastructure if he wasn’t handing $billions to illegal aliens.I think he is directly and criminally liable and should be arrested!!

In case you haven't noticed, Dams Don't Vote Democrat.

Gee, I would think you would understand the priorities of a great man like Jerry Brown.

Since Trump won Butte County 48% to 44% over Cankles, it’s not surprising this is on Brown’s back burner.

More taxes.

That will fix this, just like it fixes everything else.

Jerry never learned the lesson of “Opportunity Costs”.

When you spend your resources (time, money, energy) on one thing, those same resources aren’t then available to spend on another thing.

When he was spending California’s resources on sanctuary cities and other federal issues, he wasn’t spending California’s resources on protecting Californians from floods.

This is his baby.

Past time for Moonbeam, his rat legislature and left wing judges to do something positive for the Californians.

Time to stop Moonbeam and his thugs from doing their constant 24/7/365, $crewing of the good Californians for their pet illegals and worthless liberals.

When the majority of the voters elect an imbecile like Brown, the sane people remaining should know that it is time to cut their losses and leave. After the traitors, parasites and idiots kill each other off, you can always return.

said he’s not going to visit the area cause we aren’t important or something like that.

On the bright side, he's not getting in the way, demanding a vehicle to take him to his secret hideaway to get the $90K hidden in the freezer...

And, if he's not even going to do a flyover, just think of carbon he's not putting into the atmosphere.

Shame to make a disaster political, but this is an opportunity for President Trump to get some positive national coverage.

Love my old home, sadly I am grateful not to live there anymore.
