Donald Trump Jr. WTF?!

Officials Call Bullsh*t On Trump’s Claim He Has ‘TURNED ON THE WATER’ In California

Even though he long ago proved that he lies about everything, Braggart-in-Chief Donald Trump has outdone himself by claiming that thanks to him and the U.S. military, the water is back on in California.

In a post on social media Monday, Trump blared, “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!!!”

However, as the California Department of Water Resources noted, no such thing happened and once again Donnie is letting the entire world know that he’s full of shit.

“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.”

As officials in the Golden State continue to fight the last wildfires still burning and provide aid to those who have been impacted by the blazes that have devastated large areas of Southern California, Trump continues to try and politicize the tragedy, according to Newsweek.

On Friday, Trump signed an executive order instructing federal agencies to “maximize” water delivery to California and “override” state policies where they deem it necessary.

The executive order claimed that during the recent Los Angeles wildfires “firefighters were unable to fight the blaze due to dry hydrants, empty reservoirs, and inadequate water infrastructure.”

Trump’s latest bluster and bragging was met with anger and mockery online.

In other news, Trump will be parting the Red Sea later today so that he can take credit and claim to be God Almighty.

LA Firefighter Calls Bullsh*t On Elon Musk’s ‘Lies’ During Livestream Discussing California Wildfires

Twitter CEO Elon Musk got his ass handed to him by a Los Angeles firefighter during a livestream to discuss the wildfires which continue to ravage large areas in the state.

Last Thursday, Musk suggested that climate change wasn’t the main cause of the California wildfires and that a “shortage of water” could be blamed for the disaster.

Musk posted, “Exactly. Climate change risk is real, just much slower than alarmists claim. The immense loss of homes in LA is primarily due to: 1. Nonsensical overregulation that prevented creating fire breaks and doing brush clearing. 2. Bad governance at the state and local level that resulted in a shortage of water.”

That led California Gov. Gavin Newsom to post video of Musk discussing the issue with firefighters who contradicted Elon’s attempt at scapegoating.

In the video, Musk asks, “Was water available? I understand that wasn’t an issue in Malibu, is that correct?”

The firefighter responds, “There was water. We have water reservoirs. Just an example: If we have one building burning, we can flow 1000 gallons a minute through that one building.”

“The amount of water we’re flowing, there really is no water system that’s gonna keep that pace, so we have to bring in water tenders, which are these big water tanks, you know, 2500/3000-gallon trucks, and they’ll come in and that’s what we have to do to compensate.”

“[The Department of Water and Power] did a great job, they brought in big trucks for us and we used them as, basically, mobile hydrants,” the firefighter adds.

Musk: “Correct me if I’m wrong, but in Malibu there was no shortage of water, in the Palisades there was a shortage of water at a certain point, or is that not accurate?”

Firefighter: “Well, we were flowing an amount of water that the system couldn’t… it was overbearing.”

Musk ends the livestream with a tepid, “Ok. Alright. Sounds good.”
