and more pro-Trump but still have to look balanced. So he's got to come up with some anti-Trump stuff to balance the pro-Trump stuff and it's really hard to come up with the anti stuff because the anti stuff is about stuff he hasn't done. Well he might steal your democracy but has he stolen your democracy? No, no, but I think he might. So the things he does you kind of like. Yeah, yeah, I liked it…

So the LA Times wrote an article saying essentially that Trump was right about the water problems in California, that they were essentially self-caused. Yeah, somebody showing me a photo now in which it's definitely not a human structure. So it looks like it. Well no, let me see, could it be? I don't know. Yeah it's ambiguous. I'm going to go with it will never check out as something built by an intelligent species.
Anyway the LA Times says Trump's right about the water supply in California and Trump was bragging that he got some extra water turned on, even more than we heard about the other week, and that the water is flowing in California and all you had to do is turn the spigot. So there's something wrong with that story and let me summarize the story about the California water and you tell me what I'm missing because I know for sure that my understanding of the story couldn't possibly be right but it's what I'm gleaning from the report.
All right, so here's me summarizing what I think I know about California water and Trump. Yeah, so the narrative goes there are some evil goblins in California, presumably Democrats, who were preventing citizens, farmers, and firefighters from having the water that was in abundance. So the water was in abundance, just these evil goblins were preventing it. And the reason the goblins act as they do is a combination of hatred for humanity plus something about a fish. However Trump fixed it all by ordering someone to turn on the water. Now that's the story I'm reading.
Do you really think that the evil goblin trolls with their hatred of humanity wanted to prevent everybody from having water and the solution was to have somebody powerful say turn on that water and then they turned it on and it's all good? I think something's missing from the story. So I was trying to get to the bottom of it before showtime and I don't know the answer yet but I'll give you some hints.
There are some California water experts who say you don't want to drain the reservoirs now because you're going to need it later during fire season. Okay, is that a thing? Is it possible that Trump can let a bunch of water out but then later we'll be in worse shape? I don't know. Others, other water experts in California say if you do

it too fast you'll flood areas that we normally could manage without any flooding. Is that a thing? Will there be some extra flooding that we didn't know about? And then other people say well you can release the water but it doesn't go to the right place. You know it's going to end up somewhere where you don't need it anyway. Is that true? Or can the farmers open up new fields because they have wa…
