The Oroville Dam

[Bayard]

For anyone who has been following this situation--Rachel Maddow has spent a fair amount of time on it--its just getting worse and worse. 180,000 people evacuated today.

CA Governor Jerry Brown has been forced to ask the Whitehouse for assistance. Not only for the current emergency, but to rebuild the infrastructure of the dam. So......with the governor's defiance of the new administration, do you think CA is going to receive help? Will Trump make him crawl?

1. California should not beg .

If needs be many of us will be happy to donate money to rebuilt. I prefer that over giving Trump the satisfaction assuming he wants to play that game.

6. California pays its taxes to the Federal government like any other state.

They actually pay more in than they draw in assistance. Unlike many other states. They're a member of the union in good standing in need of federal assistance, and the federal government has an obligation to aid them.

7. Great thought but it will takes billions to fix

2. Trump would make him crawl and still not help.

He needs the concrete for the wall.

3. Too bad Beijing wouldn't offer help.

4. If Trump is an asshole o, hit him in the gut hard, thats the way Trump plays and get the upper hand.
