whenever he talks nonsense like this I think it’s because someone on his staff tried to explain something as they would to a toddler and he was barely listening so he repeats 5% of the words that grabbed his attention and mad libs the rest.
mad libs
HUMONGOUS COCK BALLSLY
honestly not that distinguishable from his speeches
How is he so fucking stupid?!
So you’re telling me:
There’s a giant pipe that runs all the way from Canada to Los Angeles, with a massive valve that takes a day to turn. Its current configuration is set to dump all of that water into the Pacific. To solve the water crisis we merely need to spend a day to turn this massive valve, the size of that building behind you, the other way so that the water goes to Los Angeles instead?
Truly very stable genius stuff here.
Hes talking about the mile wide Columbia river, which meanders through Canada, Washington and Northern Oregon. It’s basically on the border of Washington and Oregon. At no point does it even get close to touching California, much less LA, which is in southern California.
To do this would be one the most gigantic and intense infrastructure projects our country has ever undertaken, which would take decade’s at an unimaginable cost. Not to mention the drastic shift in the ecosystem of 3 states as that river is “drained” south instead of to the ocean.
He lists this as “a big valve you just turn.” Absolute moron.
“And Canada will pay for it!”
Canada here. Sorry bruh, but we are all tapped out.
S’okay - if he says it’s going to happen, you can pretty much bet it won’t happen
I think that’s also pretty much universally true with all our politicians
Sort of true - trump takes it to a whole new level though.
He’s got to be the most extreme example of Dunning-Kruger effect out there.
Thinks he’s a certified genius, meanwhile all his handlers have to break down concepts for him in such simplistic terms, he ends up literally thinking injecting bleach or putting powerful UV light inside the body are the solutions to COVID, or raking a forest is an actual solution to preventing widespread wildfires.
He lists this as “a big valve you just turn.”
Even stupider than that he calls it a fucking faucet.
You give him way too much credit. I doubt he even knows the Columbia River exists. He just says random shit.
Ah more of the ol’ Hallucinating AI bit eh.
Seems like all the competent people went to finance and justifying war think tanks, and we are left with these type of clowns for politics

I don’t know, but I think anyone who cares about progressive ideals should try to make it advantageous for amoral intelligent people to favor those ideals.
There’s no such thing as doing anything for altruistic or communal prospects just for the sake of it, nothing is turning back that clock on reaping the benefits of capitalism, and we can only work with what we have now.
I think ultimately everyone wants self-preservation, where family and community may be an extension of the self, that’s a good starting point. Things are super depressing now to say the least, which is why people who believe in progressive ideals need to hold on even harder.
That he even has a good chance in hell of winning shows how far gone this country is.
This does make me wonder how expensive it’d be to set up a trans continental irrigation system, basically just moving surplus water in places like the southeast or northwest to drought locations like in california or the southwest to take the pressure off of local water resources.
As soon as the water has to travel just a little bit uphill, the continuous energy needed makes it unfeasable.
And that’s not even taking leakage into account.
We can’t do those aqueduct screw things?
It’s pretty much impossible. Houston gets more rain than Seattle most years, but it’s nearly impossible to pump that water up 500ft and 500 miles west to ranches in Texas. A pipeline from the Great Lakes or South East would have to pump water through the Rockies. They can’t even build pil and gas pipelines to connect the West Coast to the rest of country, which is worth infinitly more per gallon than water.
On top of that, we have has abysmal rainfall this summer along the Great Lakes. I live on a river that flows into Lake Erie’s western basin and i have never seen the river this low. There are stretches of the rover where i can walk bank to bank without getting my feet wet right now.
Trans? TRANS? Uh no thanks sweetie, you can keep your woke liberal water.
I’m so sick of this crap. I can’t even drive my TransAm any more. I’m gonna change the name on it to ManAm soon so sissies don’t complement me on my wokeness. Yuck.
It’d be less expensive to move the farmers.

They don’t believe “the liberal interpretation” of what he says. They “know” what he “means”.
It’s easier to understand if you have any experience around batshit evangelicals. A lot of Americans do, sadly.
Because they themselves are idiots. Either because they hear what he says and believe it, or because they only consume the propaganda that omits this word vomit entirely.
I still don’t understand how we got here. My mom is a Botanist by education, with a graduate degree from a respected university. She lives in a small community right in the center or some of the most extreme wildfire risk in the country.
She brought up one day that if only her Governor would make sure the forests were raked up, the wildfires wouldn’t be a problem.
It’s so baffling.
Wow.
She’s not a fire fighter, so I can kind of understand her thinking that’s even remotely plausible or effective.
But as a botanist, she should absolutely know that the undergrowth needs that decaying leaf litter to support the complex ecosystem that keeps the soil fertile.
It’s got to be the latter. While I’m lucky that I don’t encounter people who worship at the altar of the orange weirdo, I’ve been wanting to ask them “have you ever listened to one of his speeches?” I don’t understand how you could listen to him and still support him, regardless of your political leaning
Yeah. Seems like listening to speeches and debates in their entirety, or a basic understanding of past actions, should be a prerequisite for anyone to hold a strong opinion for or against either side. But we know that’s not the case for the vast majority of people who hold very strong political opinions. And they’re also reliable voters.
The depths of his stupidity and the continual display of his complete lack of knowledge or curiosity about how anything works or ever could work makes me so irritated with his immovable, enabling moronic “base”.
I’d like to see Grady’s take on this engineering stable genius.
Has he tried siphoning American water from the ocean? It’s much closer and there’s lots of it. Could even bottle it directly at the source and slap his logo on it.
This dipshit is the most accurate representative conservatives could come up with. He’s been re-affirmed as their most accurate representative time and time again over the last decade.
This moron is who conservatives are, and they are proud of it. Remember this when you talk to conservatives in your daily life. They are as profoundly unintelligent as they are evil.
he’s not the most ‘accurate’. He can just get people to agree with him. He says everything with 110% confidence. The thing is, he always needs an enemy so people don’t realize he’s an idiot. Anything pointing out hes not logical is “what the liberals want you to think”. He gets people against the Immigrants, the Haitians, etc.
Conservatives like him because he’s racist.
That’s it. It doesn’t matter.to them if he doesn’t know how rain works. They don’t care if he couldn’t tell you how hurricanes travel.
All they care about is that he hates immigrants.
That’s it.
Now, now. To his rich backers, it’s not the racism so much as maintaining the status quo of them not getting taxed.
Lay off the crack, grandpa.
Florida just got a freaking shit ton of water from the hurricane.
Why don’t they just pump it from there?
He’s a child playing pretend. Take this quote and imagine it’s from a 10 year old kid that then goes on to explain how their favorite superhero can breathe in space.
Like he said, he hasn’t changed much since he was 5. But it’s not entirely on him: when my daughter says something like that, I play along for a bit but afterwards I explain to her why it is impossible. When you’re constantly surrounded by sycophants, there’s no one to call your bullshit out and soon you’re convinced you’re the smartest person alive.
Oh absolutely! He’s a perfect example of what a person becomes when they have never had to deal with the consequences of their actions.
