Wtf is this guy even doing? These kind of resource-related untruths are the smoke and mirrors that distract people from large-scale disasters in-the-making. Similarities to past events under dictatorships in other parts of the world (thinking of Maoist China) are hard to ignore.
For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost.

Happy year of the snake! I would argue that the snakes of the United States are just as varied and pretty as our birds. A few years ago I made a poster to try and prove it. Drawing this took many months and a lot of research. You can get it here:
