Facts Are Hard!

I do not want this blog to become a god damn regular forum about whatever fuckery  Donald Trump is up to but this one is too damn funny to let go by.  

 

Let’s start with Li’l Donnie who claimed that the military "turned on the water" to fight ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area.  

He signed an executive order seeking to get around federal and state laws covering the state's water system to provide enough resources to fight the wildfires. Trump claimed late Monday that troops had already taken action per this post on Truth Social:

 

"The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER. Enjoy the water, California!!!"

 

Ready to start poking holes into this? By all means, let’s do that!      

POKE!

POKE!

POKE!

 

Trump’s “action” takes place after the fire has been mostly contained.  The fire is still burning and lives and property are still in danger but fire fighters seemed to have gotten a handle on it now.

 

As for the military coming into California to take action to stop the fire? No, they did not.  The California Department of Water Resources (DWR)  issued a statement that "the military did not enter California.  The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days. State water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful."

 

This is from State Senate pro tem Democrat Mike McGuire:  

 

"BS Alert!

• First off, shocker, water from the Pacific Northwest doesn’t flow to the Central Valley. 
• Second, federal water pumps were down for repair and are now back on.
• Third, rest assured, the military has not invaded the delta.

Facts are hard."

 

Facts are hard for people sending imaginary armies everywhere! Did Trump not think we could see if a military force showed up in California? 

Still not done poking! 

POKE!

POKE!

POKE!

 

The Association of California Water Agencies made this statement: “Water supply has not hindered firefighting efforts.  Reservoirs in California are at or above average storage levels for this time of year, thanks in part to years of proactive water management.”

 

John Buse, general counsel for the Center for Biological Diversity, had this to say about Donald Trump’s assertions:  "It’s difficult to explain what he’s talking about because…”

 

Multiple choice on how that sentence ends. Your choices are...

 

1. “Donald Trump is so gosh darn smart his wisdom and intellect defy our small limited minds.”

Or….

2. “Nobody knows what he’s talking about!”  

 

I know this is a tough one but come on, just give it a good solid think for a minute and….

 

YES, it’s option #2!! Of course!!!

 

Buse says the idea that there’s some valve somewhere that someone needed to turn on to stop the fire is "preposterous.” 

Yeah, man, but you know, facts are hard.  

More stupidity from MAGA central in another post later today.
