waters rise, what’s next?

Sun­day af­ter­noon evac­u­a­tions were or­dered around Oroville Dam in north­ern California.

And

“The Pres­i­dent has no in­cen­tive in help­ing the state of Cal­i­for­nia. The state har­bors more il­le­gal im­mi­grants than any oth­er state and has mul­ti­ple sanc­tu­ary cities that vi­o­late fed­er­al laws. The state very pub­licly sup­port­ed Hillary Clin­ton through­out the elec­tion and the Pres­i­dent views the state as be­ing re­spon­si­ble for his loss in the pop­u­lar vote, some­thing he has had trou­ble with ac­cept­ing. They have also re­cent­ly threat­ened to leave the Union through their #CalEx­it cam­paign, and the Pres­i­dent sees this as an op­por­tu­ni­ty to let them deal with the con­se­quences of their exit. There is a sick­ness with­in the lib­er­als in this coun­try that they are not will­ing to ad­dress. Un­til they un­der­stand what ails them can they hope to find the cure. This is a step in the right di­rec­tion in find­ing the #Cure­For­Well­ness.”

What the ac­tu­al fuck?

No. I am ab­solute­ly DONE with this man. 

The fact that his ego is so much more im­por­tant to him than the safe­ty of his coun­try is ab­solute­ly mind bog­gling to me. 

Yes, Cal­i­for­nia is threat­en­ing to leave, I un­der­stand that the cur­rent fuck­sticks in of­fice are bas­ing their de­ci­sion to deny aid off that and forc­ing us to “feel the pres­sure” of be­ing our own coun­try or whatever. 

But the fact that Cal­i­for­nia has sanc­tu­ary cities, and ra­tio­nal hu­man be­ings that want to help rather than hin­der oth­ers, should not in­flu­ence his gen­er­al de­ci­sion to help part of the coun­try that he promised to “make great again.”

All I have seen since he’s come into of­fice is a quick and pa­thet­ic at­tempt at es­tab­lish­ing dom­i­nance by crush­ing every­one and every coun­try around him. 

Amer­i­ca does not need en­e­mies, we need friends and al­lies. He is not mak­ing this coun­try great again, he is tear­ing it apart.

Annnd it looks like we’ve been had. Ac­cord­ing to Snopes, our source for this post is a FALSE one.

SO, we will eat crow and say SOR­RY. WE HAVE MADE A MIS­TAKE HERE. 

How­ev­er, we are not go­ing to take this post down – be­cause based on every­thing we’ve seen so far from Trump­world – it IS en­tire­ly prob­a­ble that he’ll drag his feet on any kind of aid be­cause he IS that petty.

Keep in mind we post opin­ion pieces. And this is our opin­ion. —Ed.
