    You brought up George Carlin. I simply corrected you to show what his statement was actually about.

    Carlin died in 2008, so unless you are psychotically... err, psychically... channeling him from the grave, he wasn't talking about Trump...

    You are right. He did die in 2008 so why were you using a quote from him to try to explain something it 2022? You were simply co-opting his quote to try to turn it to your thinking. Carlin would have hated Trump based on his politics so his statement would more likely apply to that than how you were attempting to use it.

    There was actually a story recently in one of the papers you claim is always wrong where his daughter talked about the way both sides are attempting to take her dad's words and use them.

    There might be some agriculture in southern Oregon in the upper watershed, but your complaint was about California. The Klamath is in a remote northwestern part of the California that is largely mountainous wilderness. There is no economically feasible way to get the water to urban areas in San Francisco, Los Angeles, or to farmland in the San Joaquin valley. If there was, they would have done it decades ago.

    They will say anything:

    "What it comes down to is that’s what’s good for fish is good for farms. Taking dams out will benefit fish, people and agriculture. Dam removal is a huge step towards bringing the Klamath Basin back into balance,”

    from the first link, pure horse shit.

    When George Carlin was alive he didn't support any conservative ideas so it is idiotic to use one of his quotes today to suggest he does now.

    Carlin had a fair bit to say on political correctness and euphemisms, here is just one example.

    "All they do is make electricity so they can go for the fishes happiness" is yet more proof of how profoundly they hate us.

    Just like the Chinese do.

    Coincidence?

    So.. Carlin thinks the "don't say gay" bill is ridiculous.

    "There is nothing wrong with the word, it's when the racist asshole is using it." Hmmm... seems like Carlin didn't like racist assholes.

    Carlin also thinks banning books is ridiculous.

    Using Carlin to defend the RW extremist GOP is what would be out of context.

    Definitely sounds like he is against the "don't say gay" bill.
