Should those poor people who were forced to evacuate be reimbursed for their hotels, etc? The dam failure was not due to a Act of God, but government mismanagement.

We listened to Brown here tonight. What a putz. No information. Spinning like crazy and said he’s not going to visit the area cause we aren’t important or something like that. Thanks Jerry!

California's liberal hypocrisy irritates me as much as the next man but people, Americans (still!) are in trouble, possibly in danger. The President should do the right thing and help however he can within his role.

Then after he saves their bacon, if they want to go back to griping about how he's Hitler, so be it.

Dams are bad, unnatural. And they cost a lot to keep up. Californicans should be glad to let it disintegrate, to help their greatness.

“Problem is, we’re Liberals so we can’t actually do anything. But we are standing by, ready to complain about Trump.”

Very good! Exactly!

They could have dropped rocks into the fissure for 1% of the cost of doing it by helicopter if they had started during their "drought."

But what do I know? California people are ever so much smarter than me. They're all geniuses. They've elected wall-to-wall Democrats to run their state, so this should be cleared up in an hour or two.

And it's a great opportunity for lots of blow-dried anchor persons to get some face time on TV!

I heard one last night say the flow rate down the emergency spillway was "100,000 cubic feet per centimeter."
