Why is he tweeting about the wall, McCaskill, and sheriff Clark? There's a fucking emergency.

Why is he tweeting about the wall, McCaskill, and sheriff Clark? There's a fucking emergency.

He doesn't understand basic concepts like urgency, mood, or setting.

 

[whyamihere]

Also why is he talking about the storm breaking records like it's a fucking TV show

 

[Ithil]

I sense what's going to get him hit with huge backlash is him dismissively claiming everything is a-ok and completely handled in Texas while there's actually widespread devastation and stranded people.

I don't think people who are suffering in the state will appreciate him claiming everything is fine (while nattering about unrelated things).

Also acting like Tax Reform is going to get his base fired up. Outside a few Rand otakus, only the 1% cares about tax reform.

He loves chaos, he's the type of person who gets excited and heads to YouTube whenever a NASCAR crash happens.

He already pissed off the mayor of Houston.

That's how he views everything.

 

[Box of Kittens]

35/60 in Gallup again. That now makes four straight days at 60 disapproval and five of the last six. His best day post Charlottesville was 38/57. Clearly nothing matters because Teflon Don.

 

[metalslimer]

The 4th largest city in the country is a disaster and this fuck is tweeting about tax reform

 

[kess]

That time when God stopped the rain from falling on Donald Trump

 

[VendettaRed07]

Nvm

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

The president shit posting about a boxing match. Amazing.

 

[Finalizer]

Why is he tweeting about the wall, McCaskill, and sheriff Clark? There's a fucking emergency.

do you truly believe he has the capacity to care about the well-being of other people?

edit: i wouldn't be terribly surprised if he tweeted something along the lines of the flooding being god's revenge for houston voting for clinton or some such.

 

[Wilsongt]

Well, just imagine, if it were black people involved in the flood, you'd be lucky if the Disabled Cheeto even mentioned it was happening.

 

[Teggy]

I expect he will tweet shitting on the Texas governor for being unprepared in short order.

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

I wouldn't call him a disabled cheeto because that's an insult to disabled

more like EVIL

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

Sorry for double posting

What did Trump tweet about McCaskill

 

[br0ken_shad0w]

I expect he will tweet shitting on the Texas governor for being unprepared in short order.

Nah, Trump (as well as the Texas governor) will shit on the Houston mayor. He's a Democrat AND black - no way Trump passes that up.

 

[Finalizer]

He's Democratic AND black

welp

guess it's just a question of when now

 

[sc0la]

Well, just imagine, if it were black people involved in the flood, you'd be lucky if the Disabled Cheeto even mentioned it was happening.

He'd ask about "the looters"

 

[dramatis]

There's going to have to be infrastructure money pouring into Texas after Harvey.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

There's going to have to be infrastructure money pouring into Texas after Harvey.

Not with this president.

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

Not with this president.

That's what I was saying

 

[Lo-Volt]

Not with this president.

A resolution for post-Harvey funding would be veto-proof, wouldn't it? (Unless Sandy state senators dare to wreak revenge on Texas, but I don't really think the nightmare scenario in this article is going to come to pass: https://www.dallasnews.com/news/wea...akers-now-bracing-harvey-voted-sandy-spending.)

I would hope so but the GOP is going to fuck around with the resolution. And that link is broken.

I bet he'd try to demand funding for his stupid wall be attached to it.

My fear would be that a lot of the money will be directed into corporate pockets. That's how it goes in Banana Republics.

 

[Kusagari]

They're going to tie the wall into the funding. Watch.

 

[Lo-Volt]

Aieeeeeee! Fixed.

 

[Teggy]

It will be a combination relief/Obamacare repeal. "The democrats let people die!"

 

[sc0la]

Wall goes across the whole Gulf of Mexico now. Why did we even let Harvey in?!

How are we going to handle emergencies when all the positions are either vacant or filled with brand new at the job trump loyalists.

 

[Ogodei]

So maybe that explains why Tillerson seems so checked out.

 

[Teggy]

So many heartbreaking pictures out of TX. What do you do when you know your home/business will be submerged and there is nothing you can do but watch it happen?

 

[antonz]

So maybe that explains why Tillerson seems so checked out.

Oh Absolutely. I am not a fan of Tillerson but he has been trying to run a State Department in an administration that is hell bent on destroying the State Department.

Then you see the last line of the article where Nikki Haley brags over the fact she has already achieved cuts of 600 million for peacekeeping missions. Its an administration bent on turmoil and devastation

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Trump is visiting Texas on Tuesday when the Hurricane is still there. This man is idiotic.

This makes me feel really safe

You forgot the /s.

 

[Spoiled Milk]

Wall goes across the whole Gulf of Mexico now. Why did we even let Harvey in?!

.

 

[BlastProcessing]

In a move that should shock no one, Trump is overcompensating and coming to Texas way too early. It will still be raining hard on Tuesday. Him visiting on Tuesday would just continue the streak of worst case scenarios that Harvey has thrown down.

 

[Ithil]

Asshat needs to have his photo-op so he can pretend he's doing something.

 

[Ogodei]

You don't fucking do this because the security requirements impede operations (like shutting down the airspace anywhere in the President's vicinity).

 

[Mario]

Wall goes across the whole Gulf of Mexico now. Why did we even let Harvey in?!

Border patrol didn't notice his real name was Havier.

 

[Diablos]

Like it was needed

 

[Spoiled Milk]

Reminds me of one of pigeon's favorites:

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Fine. It's not like these people are doing anything to stop whatever Trump is doing.

 

[Emarv]

Watching the blame placing already going on with Twitter political types on Harvey and the lack of evacuation. Kind of gross. A battle between Abbott and Turner when Houston isn't even the only major hit town/city.

Weaken diplomacy, expand the military...What could possibly go wrong

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Has Trump expanded the military at all? The Transgender Ban seems like the only thing that is major right now.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Prediction: Trump is going to do something completely idiotic on his trip to Texas that officials told civilians not to, Tucker Carlson will hail it as the most impressive move he's ever seen from a president
