Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won.

Trump orders the release of water from two damns in the Center of California. The official reason is to deliver more water for the Los Angeles wildfires.

"Today, 1.6 billion gallons and, in 3 days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons. Everybody should be happy about this long fought Victory!,” Trump wrote. “I only wish they listened to me six years ago — There would have been no fire!"

Terminus Dam at Lake Kaweah and Schafer Dam at Lake Success are both located in Center California with no visible connection to LA. both flow towards the Pacific.

This will also hurts farmers in Summer that need this water for irrigation.

The whole story looks more like a punishment of California itself, than a act to help firefighting.
