FEDIT POLITICS Thread

Wow. Bernie Sanders is redefining what strident Jewishness looks like in today's senate hearings.

The guy is a parody of Larry David at this point.

Here, The Bern goes full Heil Hitler...

 

maybe he will lose his financial aid

 

When do they actually vote on RFK, Tulsi, and Kash?

 

From that thread the Elon created (already viewed 90 million times in 30 hours), this. .

 

the answer is slaves
slaves will pick your crops
but its ok they wont be called slaves at first
so nobody has to feel bad

the answer to 1850s was illegal immigrants
so the answer to 2020s will be slaves
history is for learning from not for idealization

 

also old news how trump would call him the deporter in chief
the fact that these reporters or activists are dumb as fuck doesnt mitigate what is going today
of course the border has to be shut
that is a good thing and something that is not a problem to illegal immigrants
they prefer having to come in through the desert and mountains
the ones who come to work will always come the old fashioned way
the criminals are those that have education or jobs or good families and come to this country by making a mockery of the student/worker visa system
how are people shitting on poor people coming to work while accepting people who can afford to stay and fix their own country
people who can live and work and raise a family well in their own country that choose to come here by flouting the visa system should be prosecuted with felonies
crossing the border is a civil breach and a misdemeanor
but overstaying a visa is the normal when it comes to these work/student visa

comparing yourself to Obama is not a good look for a republican
i know its a political win because people who get excited over this stuff dont care about the truth
they care about a shiny fact they can twirl around in peoples faces

Obama did a horrible service and is as wrong minded as any republican

close the border, empty the jails of illegal immigrants and deport them home
but no need to do shock and awe tactics against your own people
yes, immigrants that come to work hard in this country are OUR own people
just like the people that Saddam hated in his country were his OWN people
our mantra over the years when a foreign leader punishes a growing minority group within his borders we call it state sponsored terrorism
and then we invade hard and kill everyone involved and in leadership and their followers and their party

 

This is bitchen.

Twat Democrat Hakeem Jeffries states that "we will fight them in the courts and in the streets" as regards Trump's MAGA agenda.

In case you wonder what fomenting armed insurrection sounds like .... it's sounds more like that then when Trump stated "And after this, we're going to walk down there, and I'll be there with you, we're going to walk down … to the Capitol and we are going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. And we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. Because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong."

Which one is a terrorist? I'm going with the Maoist. You? Your choice.

I'll say this - one is a funky-colored, demagogue fuckhead who ought to be sent to Guantanamo for 30 years, and the other is the 47th POTUS.

 

Hey @fsudog21 ...
Trump ordered the Tulare County dams opened and they did so. Now I read that "conservationists and farmers" are worried that this only helps urban areas but hurts rural areas.

Your take? I DGAF what the Coastal Commission, the Surfrider Foubdation, or the Sierra Club says. Those cunts are liars who don't care but for their wallets anyway.

 

This is a ham handed approach. No need to release water at this time. As this article (I'm loathed to credit the LA Times) explains, the release would have had no effect on the fire fighting effort in Southern Calif.

• The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers abruptly increased the amount of water flowing from two California dams.
• The federal agency made the decision after President Trump signed an order calling for increased water deliveries.
• Local water managers, who were caught off-guard by the decision, said they convinced Army Corps officials to release less water than originally planned.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has dramatically increased the amount of water flowing from two dams in Tulare County, sending massive flows down river channels toward farmlands in the San Joaquin Valley.

Federal records show that water releases from Terminus Dam at Lake Kaweah and Schafer Dam at Lake Success jumped early Friday morning.

The sudden increase occurred four days after President Trump said on social media that the U.S. military had “entered” California and “TURNED ON THE WATER.” Trump also vowed during a visit to Los Angeles last week to “open up the valves and pumps” in California to deliver more water.

According to federal data, the flow from Terminus Dam into the Kaweah River near Visalia increased from 57 cubic feet per second to more than 1,500 on Friday morning. The flow from Lake Success near Porterville into the Tule River increased from 105 cubic feet per second to 990.


The Army Corps of Engineers is “conducting controlled water releases” from the two dams, said Tyler Stalker, a spokesperson for the Corps in Sacramento. “The action is being coordinated with local officials. The releases are within the capacity of the downstream waterways.”

Responding to questions about the reasons for the sudden increase in water flow, Gene Pawlik, a spokesperson at the Corps’ headquarters in Washington, said in an email that the action was “consistent with the direction” in Trump’s recent executive order to enact “emergency measures to provide water resources” in California.

Pawlik said the Army Corps was releasing water from the dams “to ensure California has water available to respond to the wildfires.” It was not immediately clear how or where the federal government intends to transport the water.

Trump reenters California’s water wars. It’s unclear who will win
Jan. 27, 2025
Trump, meanwhile, shared a photo on X of water pouring from a dam, saying: “Photo of beautiful water flow that I just opened in California.”

“Today, 1.6 billion gallons and, in 3 days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons. Everybody should be happy about this long fought Victory!,” Trump wrote. “I only wish they listened to me six years ago — There would have been no fire!”

The president has sought to link local water supply problems during the L.A. County firestorms, such as fire hydrants that ran dry, with his calls for changing water management elsewhere in the state. But state officials and water experts have called the comments inaccurate: Regional reservoirs in Southern California are at record-high levels, and more water from Northern California would not have affected the fire response.


Water was released from the dams as the first of two approaching atmospheric river storms brought snow and rain to California.

Dam managers in California sometimes release water ahead of major storms to make room in reservoirs for more runoff. But the federal agency’s comments about Trump’s executive order suggest that this case was different.

State officials were “not part of the decision-making” to release water from the federal reservoirs, said Karla Nemeth, director of the California Department of Water Resources.

“We traditionally have a high degree of coordination at the operational level, which really wasn’t a part of this decision,” Nemeth said.

The two reservoirs are used to hold supplies for agricultural irrigation districts. Nemeth noted that winter is not the irrigation season for farms, which require more supplies to grow crops in the summer months, “so there isn’t a demand” for the water in the San Joaquin Valley at this time.

The dams are also used to regulate the pace of floodwaters that could otherwise affect downstream areas, Nemeth said. During historic storms in 2023, she said, the state sought to work with local landowners to capture flood flows where possible to replenish groundwater.


“I really can’t speak to the decision process at the Corps to make this release at this time,” she said.

California snowpack is below average, but winter storms could change that
Jan. 31, 2025
It was not clear where federal officials intended to send the water that was being released from the dams.

Local water managers said they were caught off-guard by the federal government’s plans on Thursday. Dan Vink, a water consultant who previously served as general manager of the Lower Tule River Irrigation District, called the situation “exremely unprecedented.”

Vink said local water officials heard Thursday afternoon that the Army Corps planned to “go from a fairly nominal release to channel capacity in two hours.”

A release of that magnitude, he said, would normally be coordinated days in advance, in part because farmers might have expensive farm equipment placed near riverbanks. There are also homeless encampments near some riverbanks, and officials would want to make sure people were out of the way and not in danger before unleashing so much water.

The local water managers on Thursday communicated their concerns to the Army Corps officials, who agreed to release less water than originally planned and to delay the releases until Friday, Vink said.


Aaron Fukuda, general manager of the Tulare Irrigation District, told the news site SJV Water that normally such flood releases are done with a great deal of prior notification and coordination. “I’ve been doing this 18 years and have never seen something like this,” he said.

Peter Gleick, a water scientist and senior fellow at the Pacific Institute, said dam managers would typically only release large quantities of water in the winter when major storms create a need to make space for large inflows of runoff. But Southern California has been very dry and the snowpack in the southern Sierra remains far below average, so “there is no indication that that’s why these releases occurred.”

“In addition, when those kinds of releases do occur, they’re always done in consultation with local and state agencies,” Gleick said.

“I don’t know where this water is going, but this is the wrong time of year to be releasing water from these reservoirs. It’s vitally important that we fill our reservoirs in the rainy season so water is available for farms and cities later in the summer,” Gleick said. “I think it’s very strange and it’s disturbing that, after decades of careful local, state and federal coordination, some federal agencies are starting to unilaterally manipulate California’s water supply.”

Vink agreed, saying that given how dry it has been in the region this winter, there was no need to make such a release. In fact, he said, farmers were counting on that water to be available for summer irrigation.

“This is going to hurt farmers,” Vink said. “This takes water out of their summer irrigation portfolio.”


Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla criticized the administration’s decision and demanded answers.

“Unscheduled water releases require close coordination with local officials and safety personnel, as well as downstream agricultural water users, in order to reduce flood risks to communities and farms,” Padilla said in a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. “Based on the urgent concerns I have heard from my constituents, as well as recent reporting, it appears that gravely insufficient notification was given, recklessly endangering residents downstream.”

Padilla asked Hegseth several questions, including who made the decision, how much advance notice was given to irrigation districts and local officials, and what impact the releases will have on communities and landowners. He also asked: “If the purpose of these releases is to help fight wildfires in Los Angeles County (which are already almost fully contained), what is the plan to transport this water to Los Angeles rather than let the water simply be discharged into Tulare Lake where it will evaporate?”

Climate change identified as main driver of worsening drought in the Western United States

Meanwhile, Gov. Gavin Newsom took other actions to adjust how the state is managing water. With two storms approaching on Friday, Newsom signed an executive order that aims to divert and store more storm runoff.

The order directs the Department of Water Resources and other state agencies to maximize the storage and capture of water from rivers to recharge groundwater and boost reservoirs such as San Luis Reservoir, located south of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

“It is more important than ever that we maximize every opportunity to recharge our groundwater supplies,” Newsom said.


“We are also preparing to use every last drop to boost our water supply for communities and farms throughout the state,” Newsom said. “By storing these stormwaters, we are creating a literal rainy day fund to help us recover from a multiyear drought and prepare for our hotter, drier future.”

 

the farms in the center of the state can sure use it and fuck gavin storing water in the reservoirs he never built
that was a multi billion dollar bill that passed by a wide margin and he just didn't do it
he's got a very lucrative deal w arrowhead and others to control the water and evolve his socialist plan
did you see basshole getting ready to design the palisades complete with low income housing?
get voter ID nationally and lets end this evil liberal chokehold
