Are you fucking kidding me............

[Old Vet]

While americans walk around stunned by this storm with no food, no shelter, no electric, no medicine 45 is having rallies and bullshitting with kayne west. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.. My god when did shit get so fucking twisted in this country.

[global1]

1. Every Day There Is A New Low By Trump.....nt

[Old Vet]

3. Honestly, I just cant put my arms around how fucked this country is......

[Laffy Kat]

4. And nothing happens!!

When will it stop?

[Grasswire2]

13. Well, FOX is reportedly going to stop carrying the full rallies...

...and I guess that's something. Low ratings.

[LuckyLib]

45. Yeah, he's a broken record. For Fox it's about the $$$.

[LuckyCharms]

2. He reaches the bottom of the barrel, chews through it...

and keeps on chewing.

[DemocracyMouse]

20. Nice metaphor! Yours?

[LuckyCharms]

55. Yes, I think it's mine...

but I could have heard it somewhere also, and adopted it.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

56. It works !

[SWBTATTReg]

5. Yeah, and this president is obviously no friend of the average American and the pain that ...

we all go through in paying our bills and etc. Especially in view of the aftermath of the hurricanes that have pounded the east coast and gulf.

KW is a big joke and loud mouth too. No wonder rump likes hanging around with this piece of crap.

rump did say that he owed it to his rally attendees to show up since they went to so much effort to attend his rally. I say, do you even work rump? I want someone in office that I know has a little decency and concern for the average American ... rump seems to care far more about his rallies that those who are suffering and hurting during these times.

We'll remember this...and this garbage administration. So much for repug ideas, eh?

[lunatica]

37. Trump needs his base desperately right now

The midterms are less than a month away and he needs for them to vote. Without them he’s toast and he knows it.

He created the monster, now he must feed it to keep it happy.

[world wide wally]

44. Our base is bigger than his

Fucking vote!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

6. Do you think the storm victims would be helped by Trump (and his entourage) ...

,,, clogging up the airspace, runways, highways, so he could toss paper towels in a photo op?

Better he should be half-a-continent away, keeping Trump and Kanye out of everyone's way.

[Old Vet]

8. Good point sir...........

[dalton99a]

7. The hurricane means nothing to him

Just another photo op when he comes down to visit - when it's safe

[forgotmylogin]

59. Just like that photo of Bush playing guitar in the days leading to Katrina.

Trump is worried he can't play golf.

[TexasBushwhacker]

9. Hope Florida remembers this on Nov 6 and in 2020

He won Florida by less than 2%.

[unitedwethrive]

10. And the press covers it like it is just another day!

That's why he can get away with anything, because the ones who know how to 'do outrage' are on his side.

[Old Vet]

11. Sure as hell seems that way.............

The suffering going on right NOW down south is staggering. It breaks my heart...…..

[FiveGoodMen]

18. "the ones who know how to 'do outrage' are on his side"

Considering all the very good reasons that we have to BE outraged, why doesn't our side know how to do it?

[unitedwethrive]

23. I think Democrats want to be seen as reasonable and controlled, while the repubs don't

care if they seemed unhinged. Maybe because repub leaders being unhinged allows their followers to be the same way, and uncontrolled anger is one of the few ways to push through non-popular ideas.

[FiveGoodMen]

24. Being seen as reasonable is costing us everything

[unitedwethrive]

28. I couldn't agree more

It's time our side realizes that you don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

[Old Vet]

40. So true friend............

[elmac]

33. the press created tRump, his circus is good for their bottom line

all corporate, no real news, the loss of the fairness doctrine created this monster, chaos feeds the monsters profits.

[techne7319]

12. No surprise

Nothing that he or his supporters do should really surprise anyone at this point. We should quit focusing on his ridiculousness and continual lack of decency as a president and as a human being. He feeds off of our “calling him out.” He thrives on criticism. Instead we should put all of our energy and effort in promoting a change by spreading positivity and putting forth a message of hope in a better future. It can happen come the November midterms. GOTV!!!

[ProudProgressiveNow]

14. KR NT

[slumcamper]

15. Right. Here's the deal...

Not everyone can connect the dots.

A robust portion of the middle slice of the electorate has no sucking clue because they are apathetically detached, uninformed and unaware, and therefore can't connect the dots. They simply can't connect the goddamned dots!

Consequently, they do not arrive at the point of outrage that we feel. Our rants and raves are meaningless to them, over their heads, and we come across as beating up on poor ol' DJT. And so...who wins their opinion?

That's the deal.

[BigmanPigman]

29. They are purposely ignorant.

They choose to be unaware and they want to stay that way. They could connect the dots but they don't want to. They prefer to remain blind, deaf and dumb in their little, insulated bubble and allow others to do the thinking for them.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

57. And remember this, you know this to be true, BP -

Our educational system is broken. Teachers no longer get to teach. They must push information that will be regurgitated on those end of year proficiency tests. So that the dollars come in. Anything NOT on those tests does not get taught. So much, tragically, falls by the wayside. Important things, pertinent events relative to history, which are relative to the future. (Remember what George Satayana said.)

And so many subjects are no longer even available. When you and I were kids, we had music classes, art classes, language arts, photo shop, wood shop, etc. Schools no longer have the money for that. Or the time. And children suffer for it. As adults they lack creative imagination, critical thinking skills, the ability to think in a non-linear, abstract fashion.

When I read that 9 out of 10 Americans can't find Spain or worse, Alaska (Thank you, Jimmy Kimmel.), on a map, I cringe from head to toe. Now extrapolate that out across the country and you can see WHY most Americans have no interest in anything beyond their own bubble.

And we have a clueless, low-IQ moron in the White House, who refuses to learn ANYTHING and is proud of it, who loves the "poorly educated."

But, I digress . . . .

[BigmanPigman]

58. As a former teacher I agree 100%

I had to "sneak teach" like most teachers do. That means that when the administrators are busy or off the school site we were free to actually teach subjects that aren't on the mandated tests (like geography, history, civics, art, music, science, etc).

[Haggis for Breakfast]

61. Thank goodness for teachers like you, BP,

You probably influenced more childrens' minds than you will ever know.

[BigmanPigman]

62. I was always getting into trouble

with teachers who were "by the book" and did exactly as they were told. It didn't stop me. The "cool" teachers who did the same things would stick together and let each other know if someone from "the offices" was coming towards our classrooms so we could hide our stuff, put the maps away, etc. We even trained the kids to hide their stuff if they saw an adult coming up the ramp to our classrooms. They weren't even allowed to use crayons one year unless it was for a test. I taught them how to get the stuff off of their desks but they taught ME how to do it better and faster since they loved learning about everything, not just reading, writing and math. They were so good at it that they even hid their stuff when they saw 5th grade volunteers coming up the ramp (they would volunteer to tutor kids, grade papers, etc). I had to laugh and then I told them the 5th graders were "cool" adults.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

63. You are such a hoot.

You remind me of some of my friends who went into teaching.

I'll bet you have some really wild stories to tell.

[BigmanPigman]

64. Most of the stories you wouldn't believe.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

65. Oh yes, I would.

I'm retired military.

We should get together and exchange stories.

[BigmanPigman]

66. I'm sure we both have battle scars too.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

67. You bet.

And some superstitions, too.

You have a great weekend, BP. Take advantage of the last few warm days. I'll be planting tulips, hyacinths and daffs this weekend. Of course, come Monday, I'll be in agony slugging down the Advil, praying for death.

[BigmanPigman]

68. Just the opposite here in southern CA.

We just had our first rainstorm in over 6 months (with thunder and lightening...a.real treat). My dog sees rain so seldom she forgets what it is until she goes out and gets wet. We are 75% below our average rainfall again. Next week will he hot and in the 80s which makes me nervous since we had our two worst fires during the last week of Oct. In the one in 2003 3,000 homes were burned, in the 2007 one 2,000 burned. No school for a whole week each time...that never had happened before. No Halloween for the kids either...I used to put cobwebs all over their chairs before school so that when I opened the door they were all so surprised.

Enjoy your garden, but don't over do it!

[Haggis for Breakfast]

69. I lived in SF for 10 years, back in the 1990s.

Moved there in the middle of a 7-year drought. The wildfires were/are terrifying. I have so much respect for those firefighters who engage these monsters.

Now I live in the Pacific Northwest. And the wildfires are worse and still terrifying.

One of the reasons these fires are so much more frightening to me is that we have a complete moron in the WH, who believes that climate change is a hoax caused by the Chinese

[JI7]

71. but Trump Supporters are Mostly Older . His Support increases among older age and decreases among

youjnger.

[Beartracks]

60. They've been told the dots are fake news...

... and it's easier to believe that than to take on the challenge of changing their minds.

=========

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

16. Trump is all about the celebs. He only uses regular people for votes. n/t

[Garrett78]

17. And the media eats it up. Mission accomplished. Bread and circuses without the bread.

[Achilleaze]

19. Dirty Donny* & kookoo Kanye yak it up, ignore storm victims

How republican is that?

21. IT's OK

It's OK Mar a lago wasn't damaged.

[magicarpet]

22. TrDump knows the numbers do not look so favorable for him come this November election.

So the King of Media Manipulation is going to pull all the plugs and rally his Nazi base to the max between now and election day.

His hope and ambition is to turn the numbers around by whipping his base into a frenzy just this side of out and out in the street violence.

Maybe whip up sporadic violence here and there as an ultimate display of his power,.. if that is what it takes to beat back this coming Blue Wave of regime change soon coming that will derail his Nazi Agenda.

He is becoming desperate - because he fears he is losing his iron fisted grip on power,.. and the lawman has this criminal syndicate and cabal locked on their radar screen and are ready to launch some missiles to blow this Shit gibbon right out of the water and finish him off.

[YOHABLO]

25. Trump is very needy. He has to be 'liked'. HA !

[orleans]

26. these red states are happy if he tosses a few

paper towels their way.

remember the photo op of bush & mccain and the birthday cake when new orleans was drowning from katrina?

mccain still won louisiana in 2008. they voted for more republicans (romney) in 2012. and of course they went all out for trump in 2016.

[The Wizard]

27. Repubics focus on politics

policy is for Democrats to figure out. Smoke and mirrors in a pile of bullshit works on Republicans brain poisoned by Pox News.

[Pepsidog]

30. Remember this when they say a President can't be subpoenaed or indicted while in office.

31. When the first slave

[VOX]

32. Republican tradition. Bush II was everywhere but New Orleans during Katrina.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_government_response_to_Hurricane_Katrina

Early Tuesday morning, August 30, a day after the hurricane struck, President Bush attended a V-J Day commemoration ceremony at Coronado, California, while looking over the situation with his aides and cabinet officials. 24 hours before the ceremony, storm surges began overwhelming levees and floodwalls protecting the city of New Orleans, greatly exacerbating the minimal damage from rainfall and wind when the hurricane itself veered to the East and avoided a direct hit on New Orleans. Initial reports of leaked video footage of top-level briefings held before the storm claimed that this video contradicted Bush's earlier statements that no one anticipated the breach of the levees. Transcripts revealed that Bush was warned that the levees may overflow, as were Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin. The warning to Bush only addressed the levees being overrun by water, however, not breaking or developing holes, which is the Army Corps of Engineers' definition of a breach.

Bush was criticized for not returning to Washington, D.C. from his vacation in Texas until after Wednesday afternoon, more than a day after the hurricane hit on Monday. On the morning of August 28, the president telephoned Mayor Nagin to "plead" for a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans, and Nagin and Gov. Blanco decided to evacuate the city in response to that request.[citation needed] Blanco told reporters the President had called and spoken with her (but not Nagin) before the press conference.[citation needed]

Bush flew over the devastated area in Air Force One as he traveled from Texas back to Washington, D.C., and subsequently visited the Gulf Coast on Friday and was briefed on Hurricane Katrina. Turning to his aides during the flyover, Bush remarked, "It's totally wiped out. It's devastating, it's got to be doubly devastating on the ground." Later, in a televised address from the White House, he said, "We're dealing with one of the worst national disasters in our nation's history."

[Old Vet]

41. I remember VOX, I was in New Orleans lower 9th ward at MLK projects 24hrs after Katrina hit....

Myself and three other fireman were flown down for search and rescue, Iam now retired and just cant deal with these scenes anymore physically or mentally...……...

[VOX]

42. Thank you for all you've done, it is much appreciated.

It's big-hearted fellows like yourself who get things done. Hang in there, friend.

[Old Vet]

48. No. Thank you VOX...............

Almost a lifetime of being a first responder both military and civilian and thank you are two words rarely heard.

[Buckeyeblue]

34. This was an interview for the new AG

[sdfernando]

35. Bush the minor set the president

He partied with McCain while New Orleans drowned.


I HATE THESE FUCKING Republicans!!!!! Almost as much as I hate the orange pustule!

[SammyWinstonJack]

39. +1000000!

[pansypoo53219]

36. its the moron's version of georgee twanging on that geetar during katrina.

[SammyWinstonJack]

38. tRUMP and his hateful cult of Deplorables.

[world wide wally]

43. Trump could spit on the flag on 5th Avenue and wouldn't lose any of his supporters.

Only problem is that you need better than 40% to win... So fuck you, Trump

[The Liberal Lion]

46. Just remember the man who is in the White House is not the president.

He's a fraud, he's an illegal occupant, and that he sits there day after day is the greatest conjob he's pulled yet.

[Ferrets are Cool]

47. I keep waiting for the "Official" announcement that "he"

is withholding aid from Mexico Beach because it's not in the United States.

[Old Vet]

49. I was actually thinking that.............

How fucked up is that?

[Ferrets are Cool]

50. Because it's so close to the truth of what the White House

has become.

[PeeJ52]

51. ,,, and I just lost 4% of my retirement fund in my IRA in the last 2 days...

[njhoneybadger]

52. With tRump your going to lose a lot more

Plus health care
Clean Environment
Ect.

[BigDemVoter]

53. It IS incredible, isn't it?

Un-fucking-believable. Truly beyond one's worst imagination. . . . Un-goddamned-believable. . . .

[Perseus]

54. "My god when did shit get so fucking twisted in this country"

It has been going on for a while, but people never believe it can happen in their own country. I just hope a lot of people are waking up, if not things are going to get really bad...the more latitude that is give to this administration and the repubs the worst things will get.

I hate to say it but the repubs are going at it very methodically and regardless of what anyone says, they are winning because they are moving their agenda forward in plain site, for all of us to get pissed. People have been laughing about the stupidities the man-child and many repubs blurt out on daily basis, the fact that almost everyday a repub is guilty of corruption, or being gay when he/she has been such a voice against gays efforts for a more equal life.

It CAN happen here, and if people do not wake up, if Muller doesn't come out with the goods to get rid of ALL of them, things will get ugly.

For example, why is it that the governor of Georgia can disenfranchise so many people, 53k, and no one does anything about it? How can he be allowed to do it?

My biggest hope is that people WILL wake up and stop this madness, that is why it is so important to go out an vote, we must kick them out from office.

[littlemissmartypants]
