Well if that’s even true, what the hell were those 10,000 troops doing besides taking bribes from the Cartels? They certainly weren’t enforcing the border

Proving once again (even after days of opportunity to learn or become thectruth) he doesn’t understand basic geography much less CA’s water system. Dumbest motherfucker to ever occupy the Whitehouse.

Those rivers flow into Tulare Lake which typically doesn't drain but when it does it drains to the north toward San Francisco, not Los Angeles.

2.2 billion gallons of water flowed out of California reservoirs because of Trump’s order to open dams

There are two major problems, water experts said: The newly released water will not flow to Los Angeles, and it is being wasted by being released during the wet winter season.

“They were holding extra water in those reservoirs because of the risk that it would be a dry summer,” said Heather Cooley, director of research for California water policy organization the Pacific Institute. “This puts agriculture at risk of insufficient water during the summer months.”

Where do the legal cases against Trump's executive orders stand?

FEDERAL SPENDING
The pause ordered by Judge Loren Linn AliKhan was a brief emergency measure pending arguments over the nonprofits’ request for a temporary restraining order that would last longer while the court weighs the directive, which the group said is unconstitutional.
...
A judge overseeing a similar case filed by a group of state attorneys general said at a Wednesday hearing that he would likely impose an order pausing any funding freeze even though the formal directive was rescinded.
...
ENDING BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP
U.S. District Judge John Coughenour found the order "blatantly" violated the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and granted a request by Democrat-led Washington, Arizona, Illinois and Oregon to block it while their legal challenge proceeds.
...
CRACKING DOWN ON IMMIGRATION
Civil rights and religious groups have sued to block Trump administration policies aimed at ramping up deportations and curtailing the number of people entering the country seeking asylum protections.
...
REMAKING FEDERAL WORKFORCE
Public interest groups have filed at least three lawsuits against Trump’s U.S. Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, which the president says will advise him on how to shrink the federal workforce and slash spending.

The lawsuits allege DOGE, which is headed by billionaire Tesla CEO and Trump ally Elon Musk, does not comply with legal requirements for so-called advisory committees, or groups that give advice and recommendations to the president.

The Federal Advisory Committee Act requires those groups to include a fair balance of viewpoints and make their records available to the public. They are also barred from meeting secretly and must have a charter laying out their purpose and the nature of their work.

Unions representing employees of the U.S. Treasury and other federal workers have also filed lawsuits seeking to block Trump from implementing a plan to weaken job protections for civil servants, which would allow him to replace long-serving government employees with loyalists.

TRANSGENDER RIGHTS
A transgender woman serving time in a federal prison has sued over Trump’s executive order directing the federal government to recognize only two sexes and requiring trans women to be housed in men’s prisons, arguing it violates the U.S. Constitution and federal law.

Huh?

[BDKJMU]

This is illegal as hell. Musk is an unofficial advisor to Trump with no authority to do this. They’re already taking down USAID and are focusing on things like federal grants to Lutheran Social Services.

Still don’t think these guys are fascists?

Elon Musk took aim at a pair of federal agencies Sunday, shortly after his Department of Government Efficiency team received access to the massive system that manages government payments.

Specifically, Musk targeted the U.S. Treasury Department and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), alleging with little evidence that both were “breaking the law” by approving “fraudulent” payments.

“Career Treasury officials are breaking the law every hour of every day by approving payments that are fraudulent or do not match the funding laws passed by Congress,” Musk wrote on X Sunday. “This needs to stop NOW!”

To back up his claim, Musk shared a summation of a relevant statute compiled by Grok, an artificial intelligence service run by his social media app, X.

The explosive claims come just hours after the billionaire and his DOGE team were reportedly granted full access to a federal payment system by President Donald Trump’s newly confirmed treasury secretary, Scott Bessent.

Well lookee there. After straight years of poor recruiting under Biden (3? straight missing recruiting targets) look what a upcoming change in leadership does.

If he's serious about Gaza, how does committing US resources and possibly forces to clearing out Gaza differ from committing US resources to Ukraine?

Could someone not go through the Ukraine thread and use some of those arguments against getting involved in Gaza?

What logical pretzels do you have to twist yourself into to criticize one and justify the other?

[Bobcat]

Easy, you guys did it. Now we are just playing by your rules. Its literally that simple.

Psst, Trumps not going to do any of it, but "they" don't know that, he's crazy and unhinged. Trump is a "fascist dictator" (that wants smaller government)

Haven't you been reading Politico, AP and the BBC? You have been paying for them to tell you he's the devil

U.S. government officials privately warn Musk’s blitz appears illegal

“So many of these things are so wildly illegal that I think they’re playing a quantity game and assuming the system can’t react to all this illegality at once,” said David Super, an administrative law professor at Georgetown Law School.

Specific concerns include the terms of the “deferred resignation” Musk’s team is offering to purge the civil service - which experts say runs afoul of federal spending law - and whether Musk’s staffers will use Treasury’s payment system to reverse spending that has already been approved. (Two federal employee unions sued Monday to block DOGE from accessing that system. Late Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote to Congress that DOGE associates have only “read-only” access to it.) Several federal officials said they were worried about DOGE’s taking control of government systems that hold Americans’ personal information, including student loan data, and others have raised privacy concerns about the agency’s vow to use artificial intelligence on government databases. In other instances, officials have raised concerns that DOGE associates appeared to violate security protocols by using private email addresses or not disclosing their identities on government calls.

At a more fundamental level, several legal experts and government officials expressed alarm over how Musk’s team appears to operate as a strike team, outside typical agency rules and constitutional checks on executive power.

“The big-picture constitutional worry is that there is a kind of shadow executive branch that is existing and operating and exercising power outside of the channels the Constitution and the statutes that Congress authorized,” said Blake Emerson, a professor of constitutional law at the UCLA School of Law.

I guess David Super, an administrative law professor at Georgetown Law School, and Blake Emerson, professor of constitutional law at the UCLA School of Law, are "leftist nutjobs with tDS".

Do you actually think this is a good thing?

If only it would happen. Then hell yes it would be the single best thing a leader has ever done.

Trump would need his own mountain instead of being on Mount Rushmore with the others.

When you're a member of a cult, anything the cult leader considers is a good thing. It doesn't matter if it is in conflict with a previous consideration. They're both good things because the cult leader said so. Anyone that disagrees has _DS and is sick/diseased.

Just leave your education, experience and most importantly, critical thinking skills sitting in a jar on the mantle. Others will tell you what to think and do.

What cult? I'm not a Trump guy

Now he just needs to sign an order keeping sexual predators out of beauty pageant dressing rooms and we'd be set. Do you think he'll do it?
