This continues to set the stage for a coup against state officials.
The Republicans are big proponents of states rights though.
The Republicans are big proponents of states rights though.
Only for the Right States
And only really for slavery or forced child births
From what I've seen, it looks more like they are big proponents of whatever excuse they can find to push their agenda. "States' rights" just happens to be a convenient excuse.
They said they were and I don't think they'd say something without meaning it.
Good point, Satan
Y'know, I can see the Republicans turning this around...
"Look, Liberals are all about State Rights! You know who else was all about State Rights? SLAVE OWNERS"
Sarcasm?
Just trolling, based on their other replies.
They said they were and I don't think they'd say something without meaning it.
Man pushing the narrative that Trump sent the military into a liberal state to fix things with positive results is surely not a precursor to anything sinister...
“Oh, you mean the hammock district!”
Hank Scorpio : Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you?
Homer : Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.
Hank Scorpio : Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Hammocks! Homer, there's four places. There's the Hammock Hut, that's on third.
Homer : Uh-huh.
Hank Scorpio : There's Hammocks-R-Us, that's on third too. You got Put-Your-Butt-There.
Homer : Mm-Hmm.
Hank Scorpio : That's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the hammock complex on third.
Homer : Oh, the hammock district!
Hank Scorpio : That's right.
The actual tweet:
"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," Trump wrote. "The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER. Enjoy the water, California!!!"
So more regressive nonsense to derail environmental protections and pose himself as a savior to people that can't or won't fact check.
Instead, the agency said, the federal government "restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days," adding: "State water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful."
This means that those "federal water pumps" can be turned off at Trump's whim.
Where were you when the Water Wars started?
Where’s Kevin Costner when we need him most
he's busy growing gills
It should be automatic by now that everything that comes out of that orange shithole is a fabrication
Trump saw a solder washing their hands.
He saw a billionaire farmer watering their crops and assumed he had to be responsible.
So write the headline the way it should be written:
Trump Lies About Sending Military Into California
Turned on the water…. For farms, who over use water.
Trump: water never runs out!! This isn’t a plot to drain California dry to destroy it.
I think all that tanner is seeping into shitferbrainz head and he has no idea what the hell is going on.
State officials in trouble.
The giant cartoon water valve is the next sharpie hurricane
Should get a few of those firefighting planes, they look pretty cool.
