What's missing from PlantationJoe's tweet is:

the Edenville Dam
Feds decertified the dam in 2018…under Trump. The onus to regulate then fell on MI, which under Snyder and Whitmer failed. Then, to compound matters, the Michigan AG forced the owners to RAISE the water levels last month to save some mussels.

If the country elects half wits like Whitmer and creepy, corrupt demented Joe Biden, sorry but it deserves what it gets.

The dam was caused by global warming and would not have happened if we did not pull out of the Paris agreement. /s

The company that OPERATED the dam had its license revoked for safety violations, yet they REMAINED on the job by Witless and our fine DEMOCRAT AG here in MI.

People knew the water levels were being kept high and that it was unsafe..

But our politicians KNEW BETTER...

I live an hour away and before the dam broke, I never knew it existed. So how could Donald Trump have had ANY knowledge of it... it’s a LOCAL issue. Just like the Flint Democrat Water mess - which they still haven’t corrected - the news just got tired of that story...

That Dam wouldn’t have failed if Biden was POTUS, that’s ‘Joe leadership Biden’

The fact that the AG ordered the owner to raise the level of the lake by (IIRC) eight feet is probably what caused the dam to give way.

The current owners were in the process of selling the dam for 9.6 million to a local group that was planing to make 5 million in repairs.

It was in the best interest of both parties for the dam to remain intact.

The State government did not see it that way. They are currently claiming that this was a "500 year event" which is total nonsense. The rain, while heavy, was certainly no worse then it has been any number of times in the past 20 years. What was different was the amount of pressure being put on the dam by the AG's order. It was customary for the level of the reservoir to be lowered in the late spring in anticipation of heavy rains.
