I'm sorry, but the lede on this broke me to the point of uncontrollable laughter. This is just so profoundly stupid, I don't think Monty Python at their peak could parody this.

It's also a lot of water to waste in the West, which is unfortunate.

His supporters out here are acting like they love it, because it hurt a lot of people they don't like. As we used to say back home, they'll gladly take a broken nose if it means breaking the other guy's neck.

Besides, now there's yet another thing that he can blame on his enemies, and the suckers will buy into it.
