Summary
California officials warned that Trump’s order to release massive amounts of water nearly caused severe flooding for farmers.
Trump boasted about the move, claiming it would help fight wildfires, but experts said the water couldn’t reach affected areas, which are over 200 miles away.
The Army Corps of Engineers initially planned to release water at maximum capacity but scaled back after urgent pushback.
Experts warned the water could have been better used months later for irrigation.
Why did that shooter have to miss?
“Inches from a better world” has been a common phrase on my mind, with the added benefit of really needing a lot of context before the magastappo get pissy.
When it comes to presidential assassinations, there’s really no replacing the efficacy of Marine Corps marksmanship training.
“I went forward in time…to view alternate futures. To see all the possible outcomes of the assassination attempt.”
“How many did you see?”
“Fourteen million six hundred and five.”
“How many were successful?”
“All but one.”
He didn’t miss, he hit people in the crowd.
It’s about what I expect from conservative shooters. Shooting everyone except the people who should be shot.
Ironic that the gun nuts absolutely suck at handling their guns. Much like there is a huge car scene where I live, but nobody can fucking drive.
He probably just crapped himself due to the pressure.
Buying guns is easy as long as you have money. Getting proper training and improving via practice requires effort and discipline.
Much easier to show off how much $$$ you dumped on a fancy rifle.
When you’re the right flavor of stupid and arrogant, things like getting training, following the rules, and keeping things calm & predictable are just signs of weakness and lack of confidence.
People who would have supported this.
Because it was a stunt to make the fat orange idiot look like a hero.
Oh come on, that was by accident. Let’s not fall down to their level with the idiotic conspiracies.
Everyday I curse him for missing
