Newsom: He took water that was set aside for this summer from one part of Central Valley and dumped it into another part—without telling them.. They had to turn off the pump because it was starting to impact the levees. None of it went to Southern California.

1. Doesn't anybody ever tell him no? Who green lighted This?

[Initech]

2. He legitimately thinks he's a monarch with unlimited power.

We don't play that game in this country!

[Easterncedar]

3. But we do, apparently

[Justice matters.]

7. But nobody stops him from doing his Destruction Day bs.

He should rot in Rikers rigth now or even Leavenworth for life, not destroying everything from inside the WH.

[Doodley]

4. The Dunning-Kruger effect. He is too stupid to know he isn't the smartest guy in the room. Every decision is bad!

[William769]

5. He is no leader of our party.

[Figarosmom]

6. So why didnt you stop him

[Brother Buzz]

10. Federal water dumped from two federal reservoirs

Water and water right in California, with multiple agencies, is very complicated, but despite the marmalade shartcannon pulling this bombastic stunt, it works remarkably smoothly.

12. What did you want Newsom to do?

MFer ordered a Federal agency to dump water from Federal dams. It was over in a flash.

Newsom has State authority. You know this.

[obamanut2012]

13. Because he couldn't -- Newsom isn't in the wrong here

The US military did this.

8. Newsom, why werent you screaming about this when he did it???

Democrats let so many stories fall by the wayside instead of making hay of some of the crap trump's pulling.

Has signalgate disappeared? Stock market took over the whole 24 hour cable news cycle today.

Infuriating.

[maxsolomon]

11. IIRC, Newsom did. He wasn't alone.

MFer directly ordered the Feds to dump the water.

[IcyPeas]

16. Maybe I missed it. I dont remember Newsom commenting on Trump's stunt

until a week or so after it. I dont recall seeing it discussed on the news. Trump sent out a DOGE team to gather information about releasing the water. Another DOGE-Musk fuckup.

[maxsolomon]

18. I guess you're right. Newsom didn't punch back in the press about this release till now.

Or I just can't find it reported.

Here's Newsom rebutting MFer during the wildfires:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fact-checking-trump-claims-los-angeles-california-wildfires/

Shortly after the fires broke out, Mr. Trump, then the president-elect, claimed Newsom "refused to sign the water restoration declaration" that he said would have directed millions of gallons of water to areas now burning, alleging he prioritized a small fish, called a smelt, over residents.

In response, Newsom's office said, "There is no such document as the water restoration declaration — that is pure fiction."

[obamanut2012]

14. He did

[missaj]

9. They are afraid of Trump and his minions.

Only a few politicians are brave enough to stand up to the MAGA cult, while the rest bend the knee like cowards.

Newsom allowed this to happen because he was scared to say no.

[obamanut2012]

15. You are 100% wrong

I live here, the Feds did this, the US military did it. Newsom railed against it then, and has kept doing it.

He did nothing wrong.

[IcyPeas]

17. Yeah, he ordered the military to do this, I agree.

Newsom did nothing wrong.

I just didn't see Newsom railing about it. I hope he did.

(If you have a link i would appreciate it to see what date he spoke out. Thanks)
