President Musk*
It's disrespectful to refer to him by his subordinates.
Trump said something incredibly stupid? Wow, that is news!
He claimed Los Angeles limits residents to just 38 gallons of water a day, and referred to some mythical "valve" that could bring limitless water to L.A., but that officials instead diverted to the ocean.
"They have a valve, think of a sink but multiply it by many thousands of times the size of it, it's massive. And you turn it back toward Los Angeles. Why aren't they doing it? They either have a death wish, they're stupid or there's something else going on that we don't understand," Trump said.
or there's something else going on that ~~we~~ I don't understand," Trump said.
He was so close to realization.
I don't know if I can handle 4 more years of this.
Block social media that centers on him or politics. Find like minded people. Do things you love.
Burying your head in the sand while the country burns is not the answer.
But killing yourself slowly with the ratcheting insanity helps how..?
Look mate, I don't even live in the States and I need to keep my sanity. I did what I could when I felt like I could do it and Americans picked Trump, so I'm doing what I gotta do to survive. Is it selfish? Yeah, it is a little bit, but that's the truth.
As an American, I'm sorry.
We will all endure.
Just turn the giant valve?! Why didn't I think of that!
Just use the weather control machine and make it rain duh! /$
They either have a death wish, they're stupid or there's something else
You know what they say. Everything that comes out of their mouths is either a confession or projection!
Maybe hes thinking of the fact that ~80% of California's water goes to irrigation for crops instead of to communities.
Tbf, the crops come to our communities. We love our fresh California produce. It sparks joy.
And the Palisades had enough water to drink and fill pools and grow landscape plants, and several people were hosing down their homes (a few died with hose in hand because the fire was way too strong for that and they should have evacuated but a lot of the rest of us made stupid decisions in the moment that just didn't turn out as deadly.) but the real problem was that wind. They couldn't do airdrops, the conflagration was too powerful. There was a problem with the hydrants, but honestly even if they'd been fully functioning it's not clear if much more could have been saved. Altadena had plenty of water too, with working hydrants, but that maelstrom of fire was just crazy, man.
Stupid does apply here, just not in the way he thinks it does. Also, who is "they"? Is he just referring to liberals?

A lot of people are about to have a crash course on how fascism works...
I hate “they”. Whenever someone at work says “they” I immediately ask “who?” and don’t get off of it until they actually name a person. Does wonders for stopping the random boogeyman.
this is America.
a zombie state that doesn't realize it's already dead.
and nobody is willing to do what must be done to stop it.
Gotta cut off the head
The fish rots from the head. The status... is not quo.
This guys a massive regard. Sad that I moved to lemmy because mods on reddit were oversensitive but the same thing is here lmao
Try forming a coherent thought first.
Wtf are you on about?
Oh I thought it was a typo at first.. I'm such a regard..
Insert Skinner meme
Is it me? No, it must be all the mods that are wrong
Can’t go off the rails if you’ve never had rails
He's done a lot of rails at least
It’s not President Trump’s fault that LA sucks at raking their leaves.
Don't worry. I hear Trump is transferring funds to unimportant things like the Center for Disease Control and WIC in order to start his new Federal Forest Raking Program.
The OP was hilarity, and then the idiots responding made me laugh out loud. Bravo.
Alright, then how about you go rake the leaves of the national forest and parks behind my house? You got this. Should be pretty easy from what you're saying.
What do you get out of this? Are you some kind of abused dog that accepts negative attention likes its positive attention because it's never received positive attention? Go to therapy, please, for yourself if no one else.
Parent commenter left off the /s.
You’re like the only one that understood. Oh well lmao
Whenever you omit a /s you take a risk.
Especially given Lemmy's substantial nuerodivergent population clear markers of sarcasm are always a good idea.

So many people can’t sense sarcasm.
My assessment of the Trump administration so far:
1000% my humor. Thank you
