California Gov. Jerry Brown, appealing to the Trump administration for direct federal assistance on the Oroville Dam’s emergency spillway, said Monday that he remains encouraged that the state and federal government can work constructively.

You named the real agenda even if sarcastic! BTW,like your list on your home page. Hopefully you’ll get some time to insert line breaks. It will be a great reference page if so.
Jerry, what you need to do is stand at the bottom of the dam and exude the full power of your leftist ideology. That should hold back the waters until all repairs are made.
Now do they have enough water for those 9 delta smelt? Almonds are getting pretty expensive here in flyover land.
They haven’t seceded yet - I greatly doubt that it would ever happen - and I have no problem with my tax money going to help any innocent Californians who might be devastated by this. But I will want Accountability.
IF this were Trump, the mass media would be stalking his every move... Jerry is probably overseeing the packing up of his prized possessions just in case the rock dump flops.
Where is the 7.5 Billion?
You're gonna have to find yourself another best friend somehow.
The reason California went the way of Chicago is via Voter Fraud on the greatest scale ever seen. And subsequent gerrymandering.
What a patriot, especially for a governor from a state that wants to secede, and run its own immigration policy.
The cost of the evacuation, the costs to businesses and individuals, the cost of repairing the spillway dwarf the cost of maintaining the spillway, maintenance which wasn’t done. Why?
A stitch in time saves nine.
Drop rose’s fatness into the hole. That might solve the problem.
On one hand, don’t want to see innocent folks suffer.
On the other hand, giving the California Govt. money is totally rewarding bad behavior; they want to have their sanctuary cities, mega public worker pension plans, and overall lack of respect to most individual rights.
And even if a helping hand is extended, there will NEVER be any gratitude from the morons who run the place and their sycophants.
Since the help would be to save some people that are stuck behind “enemy” lines, the help should be extended I think.
Maybe if it was in the form of a loan, that would obligate certain performances by Sacramento, assuming they would ever live up to an agreement.
Spent a summer there (CA).
So sad to see what has become of a state so blessed with great weather, vineyards, produce, etc.
The commies have completely ruined this once great state.
I am sure they are doing everything they can now. But the reality is, the problem was caused by the damn operators, not the rain. You see the damn operators have internet connections just like the rest of us. And they get weather reports just like the rest of us. But they have been in a drought for a long time. And just like a wino likes a generous pour. The damn operators wanted to fill their reservoir up to the brim. The problem is they screwed up. The forecast was right. And the rain came just as it was predicted. The damn operators did not let the water out like the manual suggested. They were trying for a generous pour to the brim.
So, now they broke their damn, and their spillway, and a few hundred houses, road, towns, and whatever down stream. And now they want to call it a natural disaster. But really its operator error by a California employee.
Liberals destroy everything they touch!
I agree Trump,should help. But at the same time call out the mismanagement of CA and pin it on the dims. Never let a crisis go to waste is the proper phrase I believe.
Jerry Moonbeam never learned the lesson of “Opportunity Costs”.
When you spend your resources (time, money, energy) on one thing, those same resources aren’t then available to spend on another thing.
When he was spending California’s resources on the bullet train from no where to no where, on sanctuary cities and other federal issues, he wasn’t spending California’s $'s protecting Californians from floods.
This is his baby.
This dam debacle is happening to Republican stronghold areas N. of Sacramento, and caused by mismanagement by governor moonbeam and his environmentalist whacko pals. The story of the cool water draw up using the power plant pumps to protect freaking fish (steelhead salmon) may play a part in inability to cope with the water level (that has more coming from the snowpack and a wet snow/rain front coming).
So naturally, governor moonbeam wants to hit Trump up for money— he won’t touch his sacred useless high speed rail debacle money, nor the money wasted on the drought. Man is an absolute fool- the moonbeam is.
