7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

He knows exactly what he’s doing, or at least, someone else proposed this and explained it to him. What he is doing is: ruin Californias agriculture. This water would’ve been needed in summer, when the place runs dry.
So come August, chances are, California agriculture is withering on the vine with no way to water it. At which point Orange Führer will blame the state government, just like he did with the wildfires. CA will suffer politically and economically, which is the real goal here.
Which in turn we devastate all the red states because California is largest tax payers in the country. Those taxes help the red states. So by destroying California economy he fucks over all of America. Well they voted for it so let them suffer. Just wish rest of us didn't have to suffer too.
Sure, but as long as he and his oligarch bros get away with blaming Dems, DEI, China or whatever, it’s just another piece of red meat for the gullible
The American government is not funded by taxes. It spends new money, then it collects taxes to stave off inflation. Trump doesn't need a single cent from California to shower red states with dollars if and when he wants to. If you think California failing would hurt red states in some way, it has to be a real, non-financial effect. E.g. of red states important Californian food which can't be grown because of X or Y.
What do you mean by “new money”?
They'll just up the debt and blame dems again or say we have to implement austerity for the good of the country.
I'm not sure he knows or cares about the knock on effects. He knows it hurts California, so he does it.
While also deporting the people who would harvest it.
It's so fucked that someone willingly followed the order to release the water. I'm sure it won't be the last time
