I'm wishing all my friends in NorCal stay safe. Fortunately, I don't know anyone in Oroville, Yuba City or Marysville anymore. It's kind of like the Surrey, Vancouver, B.C. of California up there. ;)
President Trump should not even be IN this conversation, he has not been in office a month yet. Blame the Liberal darlings, BHObama and Jerry Brown, who found no reason to spend money on CALIFORNIA’s dam.
Meanwhile Jerry Brown has been asking for help from Trump.
In December .. the Republican Congress was successful in having the Water Infrastructure ... signed into law .... blah blah blah. Obama did nothing but approve the Republican Congress' work instead of vetoing it.
And .. the Gov of CA is responsible for the lax repair of this DAM. This is not the President’s fault - the Gov never asked for assistance to fix the spillways - during the extreme dryness we have experienced the last few years. The repair could have been done years ago .. and all of this would have been avoided.
However, Gov Brown is not fit to run anything.
Pretzel logic
This article is a total waste of time: everybody already knows the Oroville disaster is President Trump’s fault: CNN said so ...
Okay, as long as you're at it, why not blame him for the South Fork Dam collapse, the Mulholland Dam collapse, and the freakin' Hindenberg to boot!
I also understand Trump was the one who ordered Capt. Smith to ignore the icebergs and push Titanic full speed ahead.
Wow. Is this guy really that stupid?! Hard to believe. Trump has not been in office for a full month yet, and a problem that festered under Obama for his ENTIRE TERM is proof that Trump does not understand infrastructure and has a bad plan? Just WOW. Talk about insanity.
PS No, I will not login or give them my other login information to post this comment there. Tempted to, but think this just may be click bait and/or data gathering bait.
Seems I recall a request eight years for all states to identify all “shovel ready” projects as Zero was going to give away over $800 billion of our money.
As California didn’t come forward with this known problem, this is all California’s fault.
The fact of the matter here is this is a Cal state dam and lake, not Corps of Engineers. Cali has money for all sorts of weird and wonderful projects (education, health care, etc for nontaxpaying illegals), but basic infrastructure - not so much. BO had 8 yrs to fix this - 8 yrs of draught when the lake was so low, the work would have been a piece of cake. And they want to dump on Trump.
It isn’t Trump’s fault. It’s the fault of Gov. Moonbeam and the lib-communists in the California legislature that haven’t paid attention to the infrastructure. They peed the money away on non-productive social programs and graft.
Trump's Fault™!
