Haha..what?
I can’t believe Biden was tapped out but this guy is still talking.
Lay off the crack, grandpa.
whenever he talks nonsense like this I think it's because someone on his staff tried to explain something as they would to a toddler and he was barely listening so he repeats 5% of the words that grabbed his attention and mad libs the rest.
mad libs
HUMONGOUS COCK BALLSLY
honestly not that distinguishable from his speeches
Seems like all the competent people went to finance and justifying war think tanks, and we are left with these type of clowns for politics
I'd like to see Grady's take on this engineering stable genius.
'A Very New Shape Of Water' /s
He is damn lucky he's rich, because a poor person this stupid would have been dead a long time ago.
So I guess he saw a picture of the decoration in the Laurentians and thought it was an actual one?
The Faucet.
Coming Fall 2026.
Directed by Roland Emmerich.
Please don't give him any ideas. Though I have to say that sounds intriguing
Still couldn't be worse than Moonfall.
We really need to mark if Trump memes are real or made up. I hadn't heard that he said this, but I can totally believe it. I just don't have time to fact check every meme to know if I should be laughing or terrified that there's a potential or former leader who believes stuff like this.
Granted, both options are valid with Trump.
Here you go. Skip to roughly 1:30 mark for this quote.
Oh, he's making a metaphor.
OK it takes a day to open the dams and for water to travel.
Wait, the faucet is as big as that wall? He's talking about an actual faucet.
I'm out.
I kept scrolling in Lemmy, saw a post in politics talking about it, but thanks. I can't say I'm surprised, but I'm amazed that people are willing to vote for someone so obviously stupid. I understand there's a certain element of anti-intellectualism, but this is gradeschool knowledge we're talking about.
We've been stuck in nursery school for 8 years.
Series of tubes energy
This does make me wonder how expensive it'd be to set up a trans continental irrigation system, basically just moving surplus water in places like the southeast or northwest to drought locations like in california or the southwest to take the pressure off of local water resources.
As soon as the water has to travel just a little bit uphill, the continuous energy needed makes it unfeasable.
And that's not even taking leakage into account.
We can't do those aqueduct screw things?
It's pretty much impossible. Houston gets more rain than Seattle most years, but it's nearly impossible to pump that water up 500ft and 500 miles west to ranches in Texas. A pipeline from the Great Lakes or South East would have to pump water through the Rockies. They can't even build pil and gas pipelines to connect the West Coast to the rest of country, which is worth infinitly more per gallon than water.
On top of that, we have has abysmal rainfall this summer along the Great Lakes. I live on a river that flows into Lake Erie's western basin and i have never seen the river this low. There are stretches of the rover where i can walk bank to bank without getting my feet wet right now.
Trans? TRANS? Uh no thanks sweetie, you can keep your woke liberal water.
I’m so sick of this crap. I can’t even drive my TransAm any more. I’m gonna change the name on it to ManAm soon so sissies don’t complement me on my wokeness. Yuck.
It’d be less expensive to move the farmers.
He’s a child playing pretend. Take this quote and imagine it’s from a 10 year old kid that then goes on to explain how their favorite superhero can breathe in space.
Like he said, he hasn't changed much since he was 5. But it's not entirely on him: when my daughter says something like that, I play along for a bit but afterwards I explain to her why it is impossible. When you're constantly surrounded by sycophants, there's no one to call your bullshit out and soon you're convinced you're the smartest person alive.
Oh absolutely! He’s a perfect example of what a person becomes when they have never had to deal with the consequences of their actions.
Florida just got a freaking shit ton of water from the hurricane.
Why don't they just pump it from there?
