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.

Moonbeam vs The Dam. A great title for a bad B movie.

[Ray76]

It’s state owned and operated.

Jerry turn over a million illegals to ICE, cancel sanctuary and we’ll talk dam. Make Moonbeam a deal he can’t refuse.

There’s an old joke about liberals/communists/progressives. You can put them in charge of the Sahara, and in 20 years, they’d run out of sand.

Dam liar.

Liars, Dam Liars, and Democrat politicians.

Interesting fact, I thought it was in the Ca. red zone.

I kinda vacillated about help on my previous post, I feel better about sending help.

Brown should be accused about not doing anything to help. Whether true or not, it’s the seriousness of the allegation.
Something like Katrina.

[Jane Long]

Yes, exactly.

[Tennessee Nana]

Maybe President trump could help by mailing Jerry a truckload of straws...

Suck it up, Jerry !!!

[Vince Ferrer]

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!

In 2014 I think, California voters passed a bond initiative to get money specifically for water infrastructure projects. Californians need to examine whatever expenditures have come from that. Any non water projects, such as for medium speed rail, should be able to be prosecuted. Start sending people to jail.

Gov Jerry Moonbeam -> the NEW Kathleen Blanco

[tumblindice]

Demand assurances first that CA will comply with federal law.
Simple question. Answer takes a few seconds: ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.

What help do they need that they can’t forcible extract from state employees, vendors? From each, to each, etc..

This whole area of the state is red counties, which is probably why moonbeam didn't bother to keep the dam in repair - not his base. But President Trump can and will do the right thing by them, not because of political expediency, but because that is who he is. And when the dust settles, moonbeam and crew will go right back to being the same snarling dog pack they are today.

Hey all you Hollyweird and Silicon valley lefties, let's see what you're really made of - are you gonna donate to this disaster, or did you get tapped out on your other disaster, Hillary?

[txhurl]

That’s right! Jon Voight needs to get in Kanye West’s face with JERRY BROWN HATES NORCAL TRUMP VOTERS.

[waus]

Oroville is located in Butte County.

Butte County voted for Trump 48 to 44 for the thick ankled dog face.

[morphing libertarian]

It’s a double whammy. Red and very low population

[terycarl]

They have known of this problem for YEARS and didn’t fix it because the state didn’t want to spend the money on it....they obviously thought that it would never rain again.

[Fellow Traveler]

Past time for Moonbeam, his rat legislature and left wing judges to do something positive for the Californians.

Yeah where is Jim Jones when you need him?

[fungoking]

I'd give moonbeam the same answer I would give the slacker who goofed off all semester then the last week asked what he could do to raise his grade to passing.

“First, build a time machine. Then go back to the start of the semester and do the work you were suppose to do in the first place.”

They thought that Man-Made Global Warming was the cause of the drought, so planning for the end of the drought meant that you were a Global Warming denier.

In California Government terms, that's akin to being a Christian fundamentalist, or not being in favor of homosexual marriage.
