California spent on high-speed rail and illegal immigrants, but ignored Oroville Dam??

CA should get nothing. NADA. ZIP.

Let 'em feel the pain... maybe they'll stop with the Moonbeam types.

It's a political loser for Trump to not give them the money and that is surely what his advisors will tell him. I'd be shocked if he denies the assistance.

If California can afford to pay a janitor $270K a year, they can afford to fix a concrete spillway that failed due to their own neglect.

Can you imagine if California spent the money they wasted on Illegals and instead had spent it on New Resevoirs and Dams how much water they could have captured and stored? California is a Semi Arid Region. Especially Southern CA.

 

[Lakhota]

When did California learn about the dam problem?

 

[bodecea]

cali lakes have been down so low nobody could have seen this as an issue.

why the hell hasn't Magical Don repaired the problem yet?

Sorta the best time to do the work isnt it....now they can dump all that water they need to do what should have been done 10 yrs ago

You realize there was NO erosion until an emergency spillway that has never been used before developed some. What do you fix if there's no prior erosion?

Do you know how many reservoirs there are in SoCal?

Nope. ??

no water to leak .. sorta like finding a needle in a haystack isnt it.

Except for those engineering reports ....why all those stress monitors on it eh......ooooooops

so why hasnt Trump fixed it ?

oooppppssss ...

So three weeks into his presidency Trump is somehow responsible for the Oroville dam, yet the far left nut jobs who have run California for years and neglected the dam bear no responsibility, huh?

I have yet to blame Trump.

If a Governor of a state asks the POTUS for Federal assistance, the POTUS is obligated to make a decision and explain his reasoning one way or the other.

Where is Mr Fix It ?

Just like the dems in California right? What's their explanation for ignoring a huge issue like this?

Only one that was known to be in danger of possible failure.

Next asinine question?

The flood danger from the Oroville Dam receded Monday, but California was hit by a wave of criticism for failing to heed warnings about risks to the spillway at a time when the state spent generously on illegal immigrants and high-speed rail.

California Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, came under fire amid reports that federal and state officials for years rebuffed or ignored calls to fortify the massive 50-year-old dam, which provides water to more than 20 million farmers and residential consumers.

“What’s Governor Brown doing?” former state Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, a Republican, asked in a Monday post on Facebook. “The same thing he’s been doing for decades — obstructing progress.”

A radio talk show host, Mr. Donnelly said California “has been so busy defying President Donald Trump in order to protect illegal aliens from deportation that it forgot to do the things government is supposed to do, like maintain infrastructure. Governor Brown is now going hat-in-hand to beg the Trump administration for emergency funds.”

Oroville Dam flood danger recedes; state criticized for spending on rail, illegals

Get ready for all left wing policies to cause chaos and Trump getting the blame for it. A lot like the republicans getting ALL of the blame for the 19 terrorists that infiltrated the country under clinton. A lot like the economic crash being blamed on the republicans even through it was clinton that signed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which exempted credit-default swaps from regulation. Go ahead left, try calling me a liar about that. Go ahead, refute it. Also how the deranged left blame the republicans for the housing bubble even though it was clinton that rewrote the Community Reinvestment Act, which put added pressure on banks to lend in low-income neighborhoods.

Trust me, the left want chaos. They want broken down poor neighborhoods. They want violence in the streets. They want the poor to suffer so that they capture their minds. They already have them enslaved. So, when they do things like this, do not think it is a mistake on their part. They are following the saul alinsky playbook.

Just look at how against "gentrification" they are.

Look at some of these photos of cities and how against the improvements they are.

Befores and afters folks

Those are a few examples. They have learned the more chaos and the more destitute flock to their lies of robin hood. They need victims victims victims.

People who are successes don't edify their voting base. The worst are the pig white guilt rich left wing piles of crap whose life is disney land every day. I am around it in Palm Beach county. Trust me. The left are evil lying pigs. That is all they are.

Right wingers pretending they care about normal people is hilarious. Remember, "let him die" from the GOP presidential debates in Las Vegas. Now they want to take health care away from millions.
Remember when Obama was forced to extend the Bush Tax Cuts for the rich?

Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says

In nearly every case when congress tries to do something for the middle class, it's Democrats trying to do it and Republicans blocking it. Then, when Republicans successfully block the help, they blame Democrats for not getting it passed. How many times have we seen that?

I don't really care about Californians. Y'all made your choices. Deal with the consequences of your dumb decisions.

CA should get nothing. NADA. ZIP.

Let 'em feel the pain... maybe they'll stop with the Moonbeam types.

It's a political loser for Trump to not give them the money and that is surely what his advisors will tell him. I'd be shocked if he denies the assistance.

If California can afford to pay a janitor $270K a year, they can afford to fix a concrete spillway that failed due to their own neglect.

I never said otherwise. I'm saying that if Trump denies the money to fix the dam the majority of the country will disapprove of that action

Oh we all know how the marxist media will report it. We know that. If he does give it, that same media will laugh at him for caving in.

How do you feel about Brown defying federal law, where if he does not he will then get federal help? Why are you ignoring that?

It's like people blaming Trump for temp travel ban and not on the terrorists that actually cause ALL of the problems?

I know why the blame Trump. Do you?

Too few to handle the needs.
Do you know how many reservoirs have been built in the last 25 years when the population quadrupled?
One.

I think most of America will appreciate not having their money used to support the lunacy of Sacramento.

Dufus sees no problem letting millions of gallons run over an earth embankment holding 3.5 million acre feet of water.

Proves again the left should never be responsible for anything more than monitoring the amount of lint collecting in their navels.

Except history says otherwise. The public blamed Bush for Katrina. They didn't care that the City of New Orleans squandered the money they had been given in the past to shore up the levies. If Trump denies federal funds to fix the Oroville Dam and a disaster happens the public will blame him too. They won't care that Moonbeam ignored the problem for years.

Americans are onto the BS of MSM. It is why Trump is President.

Again, we know what that was all about. We also saw Trump give significant relief to the recent floods in new Orleans and the public mocked him.

We all know the black democrat New Orleans mayor who is currently in prison did not have any adequate provisions nor contingencies in place. We know the democrat governor did not heed army Corp of engineers requests for the fortifications of the inadequate levees. We know that the public was influenced by the same stupid traitorous marxist media and it is one thousand times worse now with Trump.

I see you ignoring me. Then again my questions are rather rhetorical. I guess there are some that would truly rather have a politician who caves into political pressure and to hell with the betterment of the country.

Just make sure those illegals don't live in your backyard. Would not want the value of your property dropping.

You think any of those do gooder left wing hollywood loser hypocrites would let any of those hardened criminal illegals live in their big homes in the Pacific palisades?

Oroville is in Northern California. Oroville sends water to S. California.

One of the quotes a liberal gave me was "If you don't build up the infrastructure to support population growth, then there wont be growth". I almost spit out my coffee when that was said, and I responded "If you don't build up the infrastructure to support population growth, they will come anyway, and those areas will always be behind the curve to handle such growth". As we are seeing today, we are having to play catch up once again, because of the FAILURES of the last administration and the misappropriations of a TRILLION dollars meant for infrastructure.

A math problem about spending and how liberals have no clue.

"How long would it take you to spend 1 trillion dollars if you spent 1 dollar a second?"
$1 x 60 seconds = $60 a minute
$60 x 60 minutes = $360 an hour
$360 x 24 hours = $8,640 a day
$8,640 x 365.25 days = $3,155,760 a year (that is over 3 million dollars a year)
$3,155,760 x 100 years = $315,576,000 for a century (not even close to a trillion dollars)
$3,155,760 x 1000 years = $3,115,760,000 for a millennia (we are still are close to a trillion dollars)
$3,155,760 x 10,000 years = $31,157,600,000 for 10x a millennia (we are now 1/3 of a trillion dollars)
$3,155,760 x (approx.) 33,000 years and you have finally spent 1 TRILLION DOLLARS. Yet Obama and his ilk, lost that amount destined for infrastructure for shovel ready jobs, that weren't really shovel ready.
