Interesting story about the two Michigan dam failures

Michigan Democrats wouldn't allow water levels to be lowered, as this would have killed a small percentage of mussels living behind the dam.  The dam owner was sueing the state to allow them to lower waters, claiming that the situation was dangerous.  The dam failed, flooding much of the town of Midland, and the very Democrats who fought for the dangerously high water levels are now want to blame the dam owners.

 

How Liberal of them.

PJMedia, extreme right-wing garbage.

How stupid can MAGAts get?

Toad asks "How stupid can MAGAts get?" -- Apparently toad did not get the message that the dam failed - the warning was valid, no matter who reported it. --Talk about stupid, toad is today's winner.          

 


Todd, was the owner of the dam sueing the state to lower water levels behind the dam?

Heh. Now conservatives are blaming liberals for dam failures. We can expect a similar message for tornados and earthquakes.

 

The Trump campaign team is ramping up its attacks on Michigan's governor. Expect much more propaganda in the future.

 

And of course, expect our Trumper scum to faithfully recycle it.

Michigan's DemocRat governor needs no one to "ramp up attacks" - her actions are doing that for her. Expect her to continue her DemocRat propaganda agenda. And, of course, expect Kevin and those of his ilk to continue to endorse these actions.

Kevin, was the dams owner sueing state to be allowed to lower the level of water behind the dam?  Were those who demanded that water levels be kept high Democrats?  Enough said.

You're saying the dam failed because regulateors required the it to be in compliance with safety and environmental regulations?   Oh wait - I just saw your source.  Nevermind.   

 

 

Boilerman, you've posted on this board that our infrastructure is fine...and calls to update are some sort of unnecesaary waste of money.   Here you have two dams that have been known to be in disrepair for decades and were ultimately sold to private owners under the ideology that the private sector can manage infrastructure better than government.   And now towns are in ruin.

 

How many bridges need to collapse, dams break, power outages occur before the free-shit conservatives realize that fixing those things costs money?

 

 

 

 

 Always the liberal "blame game" - while flooding ruins everything in it's path. Apparently warnings about these structures were not enough to get the DemocRats to take the necessary actions. Liberals always deflecting their blame , pointing fingers at others while not accepting responsibility for their lack of action. Status quo, nothing new here. Now who are the liberals going to blame for the death of the protected mussels - I am sure before all is said and done, President Trump will be blamed, right Kevin?
