befuddled old fart claims brilliant military victory over California

late last night, in a daring raid, the brave US soldiers of the Twelfth Spigot-Opening Battalion overcame the rebel forces of Mad Governor Newsom in what will forever be known as the Battle of the Ginormous Fucking Faucet That Doesn’t Actually Exist.

“The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER. Enjoy the water, California!!!”

now what in the hallowed name of Severe Head Trauma Jesus is this? because no, no, no, no, and FUCK no, none of this happened. nothing even close to this happened.

seriously, I woke up this morning and saw the screen shot of Donny’s post being passed around on the interwebs and thought, ‘this has to be fake’ — but no, it is goddamned real.

the question must be asked: what did the president imagine, and when did he imagine it? because here’s what actually happened.

“The military did not enter California. The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days. State water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful.”

this is where we are now as a country. our out-there-where-the-buses-don’t-run president farts out some late-night fever-swamp hallucination, and some poor schnook at the CA Department of Water Resources has to get out of bed at one o’clock in the morning to reassure the world that Commander Crazypants didn’t attempt a coup in California.

it’s fucking insane, is what it is.

there are so many questions. are the brave US soldiers of the Twelfth Spigot-Opening Battalion in the room with us right now? do they have a cool military nickname? how about the Fightin’ Spigoteers, can we call them that? how many of them did it take to turn that building-sized faucet? will Donny be awarding them the Medal of Freedom for their heroics?

look at Fox News. they’re taking Donny’s blithering at face value.

--President Donald Trump claimed Monday night that the military entered California and “turned on the water,” but state water officials contend that the president’s claim is false.

“The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

But the California Department of Water Resources responded that the military never entered the Golden State and that the state continues to have plenty of water resources.--

[here follows a list of MAGAs social media posts gushing over Trump's brilliant victory and praising him to the high heavens]

my god. if you wired all the cultist’s brains together, there wouldn’t be enough voltage to power a flashlight.

is there anything that Donny could say now that would be too out there for the cultists to believe? if Donny announced that the moon was made of meat, would Fox News start doling out recipes for Moon au Vin?

none of this is normal — and yet, just hours before Donny’s latest over-the-rainbow break with reality, the Washington Post was trying to convince us that oh yes, it is normal.

what the fuck are you doing, WaPo?

if Jeff Bezos wants to curry favor with Dear Leader by slobbering all over his ass, fine. it’s still a free country, for now. but don’t you fucking dare expect us to pretend that any of this is normal.

it is not normal for a United States President to invent glorious military conquests over building-sized faucets that don’t actually exist — and it should never be normal for the media to pat him on the head and play along.

This is rich. The Feds can only affect the Central Valley which isn't the Pacific Northwest. We'd have to build another aqueduct, etc., so this is all imaginary. California does very well without Trump. MAGAs will enjoy Trump being petty though. Newsome could probably make some marginal move on voting ID to play into Trump's pettiness show. He could declare electrical bills not eligible ID, Trump would ostentatiously acknowledge, releasing the disaster aid, and later Newsom could quietly rescind.

For your dismay and shock (nah, not really, it's just what we expect from the MAGA morons), here are some responses to Trump's incredible non-existent military invasion of California and his 'imaginary turning of the big spigot' and diverting non-existent water from the Pacific Northwest via the non-existent plumbing.

This is why I fear we may have lost our democracy. This level of stupidity, or ignorance if you prefer. And how easily manipulated these cultists are by the lying corrupt felon.

People who obviously lap up the propaganda from the right and have no ability to think critically.

And really, this adoration of Trump? OMG.

Nick Sortor:

JUST IN: President Trump announces he sent the military into California to FORCE water from north to south, instead of dumping it into the ocean

HOLY CRAP.

Figured out who the boss is yet, Gavin Newsom? : )

-----------------------------

Spence Rogers:

Love it! Definitley a different Trump from 2016.

------------------
Rogers:

Trump 2.0 is the Trump we always dreamed of.

------------------

Shawn Farash

Imagine if this was how our president acted over the last four years.

-----------------

Sortor:

If Trump keeps ripping liberal policies to shreds like this for four years, there won't be any left to shred. : )

---------------------

Brian Eastwood:

We voted for a leader and we got one! MAGA!

------------------

PatriotMama

This is what WINNING looks like!

SCinPL

The most insane policy has just been crushed. Hooray for California!

This right here, is what our country has needed for hundreds of years! DJT's legacy will be multifaceted and his name will forever be on the lips of We The People!
