“Sovereign immunity”
That doesn’t stop us from hanging them on the Capital Steps.

all those state officials are going to need good lawyersAll those state officials will live out their lives with gold-plated pensions and health insurance benefits. That's why one goes into government, rather than getting a real job.

Amen.
Was in Seattle, moved to Arizona. But I remember the Oso landslide very well. Nature does what it wants. We’re fools to think we can tame it.

He is getting blamed on live videos. Now that's just plain idiotic. People are going to make themselves look like absolute retards by blaming the President for this disaster.

The spillway is not the problem. It is an earthen dam made of dirt. Water is overflowing the dam and eroding the dirt.

The chem trail planes finally seeded the clouds enough to cause the dams to bust.

Sovereign immunity only applies to the federal government.

Why people live there? Haha, because it never rains here in California. Unless it does. We get droughts and flash floods here. The Sierras get an amazing amount of rain and snow, and Oroville is very close to the mountains.
The ‘viros also think dams are really bad. They didn’t have dams in the Garden of Eden, did they? They have taken a bunch of dams out/ although I have no idea if that has impacted this particular area.
Fruits and nuts here, but a good number of Trump voters also.

Unfortuntely our culture seems to teach us to ignore our instincts. We need to listen to them. We also need to train how to deal with the fear response that comes with it and use it for our safety.

They’re waiting for the carnage to occur; THEN they will cover it. And it’ll be Trump’s fault.

No you shouldn't because that would be a stupid effing question.
Have you looked into the history of the Oroville Dam ? Or the history of the weather in the region ?
When you see headlines that state "First Time Ever In 100 Years", there's your freaking clue.
