Trump's a Fucking Idiot.

That is the root cause of this water spill.

...prancing around with a chain saw.

Not just any chain saw, it was the "Chain Saw of Bureaucracy".

That's more badass the the "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch".

And, as a corollary, would LA be willing to pay for that cost?

A good question, but not relevant to these idiots dumping a bunch of reservoir water out in the desert.

And, are there enough hydrants to serve all those needed firetrucks should they materialize?

The problem was with the trunk line capacity. They were using water faster that the trunk line could move it. The highest 3 of 14 supply tanks ran dry.

Water usage was 4 times normal for 15 straight hours. Using a municipal water system to fight a wildfire is pretty futile.

That reservoirs should not be repaired?

One of the issues about that was the clusterfook around the repair job. It was empty since February.

That said, it likely would not have made much difference anyway, given the volume of water that was being used. It's not that big of a reservoir.

1) What empty reservoir caused the firefighters to run dry?

The empty reservoir is the Santa Ynez. It's under repairs.

2) How might this water fill that reservoir?

It wouldn't. The Santa Ynez reservoir is 210 feet higher in elevation than the source reservoir. It's also 180 miles away, with a 4,600 foot mountain range between them.

The difference here is that we can get it back out of the aquifer.

That sounds expensive. How do you propose that? Given the intent was for this water to go to Los Angeles?

Probably what they're thinking.

They were not thinking. They were showboating. And ended up looking stupid.

seems to be, I'll be kind, whimsical in his fiscal policies

He's as stable and practical as any other monkey with a machinegun.

I am wondering if this water could have been used to fill the empty reservoir

This spill was about 20 times the capacity of that reservoir, so they certainly threw away enough water to fill it if there was some viable way to get it there, which there isn't.

Mr Musk likely does not want to have NASA competing with his own companies

NASA and NOAA are both going to be part of SpaceX before long.

Are you sure about that? I wouldn't trust anything apartheid Elmo built.

This flight was scheduled some time last November. They just gave up on the new capsule and went back to the old one to save a couple of weeks so they can claim it is a "Rescue!!!".

And I don't think Lord Commander Elon actually builds anything... he just buys people that do.

I must admit, I have never heard of an Alawite.

That's like relying on a Yugo to get you home.

At least it works. The new one will have to wait.

Too bad he can't respond.

"Liberals are betas and they suck! It's why they lost! Don't come to my state or we'll shoot you!"

Close enough?

I don't recall Trump ever being on any side but Putin's.

He was pretty cozy with Little Rocket Man.

Little Marco has offered thoughts and prayers. Problem solved.

I wonder if that means his giant, Columbia River diverting faucet won't work either?

"You have millions of gallons of water pouring down from the north with the snow caps and Canada, and all pouring down and they have essentially a very large faucet," Trump said this month. "We call that faucet the Columbia River. You turn the faucet and it takes one day to turn it, and it's massive, it's as big as the wall of that building right there behind you. You turn that, and all of that water aimlessly goes into the Pacific (Ocean), and if they turned it back, all of that water would come right down here and right into Los Angeles," he said.

Or Zelensky was really born in Uzbekibeckistanstan.

So we're openly interfering in another country's election?

Lewzer has sent investigators to Kiev and they can't believe what they are finding.

Does surrendering count for peace?

Lewzer thinks the prize is awarded to whoever says the word "peace" the most. For him, "peace" is the new "tariff".

accusing the nation of being a "bullying" power and questioning if it upheld commitments from previous agreements.

How DARE he make such an accusation?

LOL.

Is this the country Pres Trump wants to satisfy his ego?

I'm pretty sure Lewzer's ego is solely focussed on getting a Nobel Peace Prize at this point. His flunkies can sweat the small stuff.

Congratulations to Pres trump for getting rid of Daylight Saving Time.

Looks like the DR clock has jumped ahead an hour so I guess Team Lewzer was lying about that as well.

Promises made. Promises not kept.

Will "PM-PNK" fit on a hat? Maybe an NFT?

"...flagged for removal by the Pentagon in an effort to eliminate references to diversity, equity and inclusion anyone who are not straight white men."

Congratulations to Pres trump for getting rid of Daylight Saving Time.

Yes. I agree.
