CNN just did a couple of split screens.

The first was a newscaster talking about Dorian's landfall as a Cat4 with mandatory evacuations. On the right a picture of tRump golfing. The second one, a newscaster reporting on the weekend devastating news. The pictures below, four of them, were of the Texas mass murders, Dorian's threat to millions and then the diving boat fire. Then there was tRump...golfing.

I have no words only anger.

1. He really doesn't give a damn. If he gave a damn, this post would not have been written.

We would see Trump giving a damn, and we don't see that.

[Eliot Rosewater]

32. It isnt fair to ask a sociopath to care about anything but themselves, what is fair is to

ask why 45 million assholes love a sociopath.

He cant help it, what is their excuse?

He literally has so much brain damage, he cant help it.

[Eyeball_Kid]

73. Attribute group brain damage to the enabling GOP. They have even less of an excuse.

If any drop of justice should befall the GOP, they would be dissolved as a political party and their leaders jailed for conspiracy against the US.

[olegramps]

72. You are absolutely correct.

What is especially disturbing is what the reaction of the scum bag Republicans would have been if President Obama had acted the way this worthless piece of crap has conducted himself. The Scum Bag Chief demonstrated his total lack of concern for the citizens when he included Alabama in his concern for the situation fully demonstrating that he has no intention of being bothered with actually being involved in planning. He just doesn't give a damn unless he can skim some money off the situation. Sorry to say, but I have grown to actually despise Republicans. I could throw up watching these hateful, racist bastards worshiping him like a pack of dogs.

[handmade34]

2. it seems

he has the "absolute right"...


and no one is doing a damn thing to get rid of him

[sheshe2]

3. Fact is the House Judiciary, led by Nadler, have opened an inquiry.

They are doing something, handmade. They really are.

[sprinkleeninow]

9. Prefacing what I say following. You know I am fond of you and have love for you.😍

Sure I could be off the beam, but, I feel 'something' unequivocal should have been initiated/implemented soon after House swore their oaths. Or minimum, immediately after Mueller's so-called report.

Just my 5¢.



💙🇺🇸💪🗽⚓

[sheshe2]

42. Thanks for the preface.

Fact is any allegation has to be backed up. Facts. Pesky facts.

The new congress can't just walk in the door and declare him guilty of treason. There are hearings that need done and the rule of law followed. Nadler has opened the inquiry. They are moving forward.

As for Mueller's report. No "so called" as you say. It has been chopped off at the knees before it was done. Also the redacted report was not even given to Congress. That gets my hackles up. If as Don the Con and Barr None say....the report shows he is innocent. INNOCENT. If that were true the full version would have been released. It was not.

FACT

[Laura PourMeADrink]

55. Chopped off at it's knees? Mueller report?? What?

[sheshe2]

57. What?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

59. Don't understand what you are saying. Mueller report

Wasn't good enough? To impeach?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

53. Absolutely positively YES. You are spot on!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

63. You are so right. An immediate declaration of outrage

and an immediate declaration that crimes that Mueller and his team of the top prosecutors spent a very long time investigating, were impeachable. One voice loud and clear, unequivocal, to the world, that we would immediately move forward to impeach.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

52. +1,000,000.

[sheshe2]

56. Explain what they are not doing.

I assume you mean congress.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

60. Was replying to handmade's post!

[sheshe2]

61. I know.

I asked what you meant.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

64. Agree with post to the nth degree.

[True Blue American]

67. The House Committees

Are following the rules. It took 2 years to get Nixon and the Trump case is far more complicated and full of far reaching treacherous actions.

[at140]

4. Trump should volunteer for FEMA

and help those who need help such as elderly & handicapped people to get to a safe place.
But I won't hold my breath.

[bdamomma]

19. what??

you will be turning blue.

[at140]

30. Well he does need very badly to shed a few pounds

a volunteer job will help do that and might even earn him some positive press.
But he is lazy as hell and so you are right I will be turning blue if he does it.

[dweller]

50. he can toss out paper towels

😑


✌🏼

[BigmanPigman]

5. Was he wearing Melanie's "I Really Don't Care" jacket?

[sheshe2]

8. That wouldn't fit on his right arm.

He did however have his MAGA hat on and his fat ass in full display.

[Chemisse]

33. He is a despicable creature. But his being fat is irrelevant.

To add that to the reasons why he is disgusting acts to maligns everyone who is fat.

We should be better than that, here on DU.

[leftieNanner]

58. I agree that fat shaming is inappropriate

It's more that his hypocricy about his wife's and daughter's weight, and his refusal to admit his own health challenges that bothers me. He lies about his own weight - even getting the White House physician to lie to the public.

I have my own weight challenges, so I don't appreciate the shaming either.

[lpbk2713]

6. Presidentin' aint easy.

[sheshe2]

7. He ain't heavy, He's my brother (lover).

[Turbineguy]

10. I don't understand why people still get upset about this.

We knew this going in and trump will never change.

[sheshe2]

15. Well some of us were smart enough to know, Turbineguy.

After the selection by Putin many here said not to worry, we will get through this it won't be so bad. Bite me to all that said it and were elated that he won...that would be Sarandon. She said now the Revolution will come sooner as she bounced up and down in her seat.

I knew it would be bad.

Yet did not expect babies in cages, in the most deplorable conditions. Babies and young children sitting in soiled diapers. No blanket. No water. Separated from their parents.

A prez that hails dictators and incites White Nationalists to violence. He wants a white America and he will do anything to make that happen.

A prez that has opened all our national treasures to big business to rape and pillage the land in the time that we face a climate on the brink of death.

How many times can a Democrat bring the economy back from the brink?

He has made us a SHITHOLE COUNTRY as PUTIN TOLD HIM TO DO. We no longer have any relevance on the world stage. We have lost our title as the leader of the Free World.

[Skittles]

21. probably because nothing is being done about him

[sheshe2]

38. Surely not by the Putin paid Goppers.

McConnell comes to mind. Did ya know Skittles that Mitch won't allow any Dem bills on the floor INCLUDING THE ONES ABOUT RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN OUR ELECTIONS! Did you know he blocks everything the DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS SENDS HIM?

How do we change that Skittles?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

65. +1,000,000 not even the bare minimum of a censure

And he has been emboldened to act act crazy and crazier. Incredibly sad.

[Newest Reality]

11. This Just In!

Millions of Americans have just realized that, not only is their current President completely useless during a disaster, he even lacks the capacity to pretend that he gives a rat's ass about it.

Some people have expressed an immense relief that he is preoccupied and not on his twitter account, because he seems to only be an unwelcome distraction as Dorian reeks havoc.

"I think he should just be quite and play his game." said Mrs. Ethel Smith, a resident of Boston, MA.

More as the story continues to not develop...

[Wounded Bear]

17. Trump is useless during normal times...

worse than useless, if there isn't a disaster he creates one to get attention.

During real disasters, well don't get me started.

[Hekate]

12. You know what though? CNN just did a visual editorial of Trump's behavior during multiple crises...

...with their split-screen presentation. For this they should get a vote of thanks.

[sheshe2]

16. Oh, I completely agree, Hekate.

They did in pictures what mere words could not express.

I know CNN gets trashed....however I think they do some fine reporting.

Thanks my friend.

[UTUSN]

13. K&R

[underpants]

14. Sounds like Poppa Bush's Dover moment

Bodies were being offloaded in flag draped coffins at Dover AFB on one side of the CNN screen. On the other side was Poppa Bush tucking it up with reporters in the press briefing room. Repubs hit the roof. CNN agreed to not do that again. In fact they stopped showing anything at Dover.

Fast forward to Clinton and coffins being offloaded from Somalia I think. Republicans hit the roof. PEOPLE DESERVE TO SEE THIS!!! CNN relented and started showing activities at Dover again.

[Wounded Bear]

18. Perhaps the Katrina shots were more applicable...

Bodies floating in the 9th Ward, and Bush having birthday cake and "playing" guitar.

[underpants]

24. Both.

[bdamomma]

25. or when

Bush said "now watch this drive"

[ET Awful]

41. Was just about to say that . . .

[bdamomma]

45. He was a jerk too

9/11, Katrina, and starting a war on a lie (weapons of mass destruction), killing Iraqi citizens plus our troops, and our economy had to be resuscitated again.

[yardwork]

20. Good for CNN.

[sheshe2]

23. I agree yardwork.

They haven't been letting up tonight.

[yardwork]

27. Thank you for this OP, sheshe!

[sheshe2]

26. Anderson Cooper just did it as well!

[grantcart]

35. Thanks for the update

[sheshe2]

37. You are welcome, grantcart.

[yaesu]

22. Can you imagine the fit repugs would be going through if Obama pulled that? nt

[FiveGoodMen]

75. And yet, no one is throwing a fit on this.

Why doesn't OUR side ever get mad?

[Blue Owl]

28. Artless and Heartless

n/t

[Iliyah]

29. I think many know that t-rump does not care . . .

I saw a picture of him sitting at the FEMA office and he looked pissed, like "why am I here". I could sense he wanted to be on the golf course.

And these caps he wears that are made in China. It is sickening.

[sheshe2]

40. Yep...

He looked bored out of his mind. Gotta golf.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

31. I have words... fuck that POS!!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!! or
Elizabeth & Bernie 2020!!
Either way, welcome to the revolution!!!

[guillaumeb]

34. Recommended.

Many Trump voters see this as "owning the libs".

I call it enabling a sociopathic, misogynistic, racist, moronic, would be dictator.

[RVN VET71]

71. That, after all, is what "owning the libs" has always meant

to the sociopathic, misogynistic, racist morons who support the corpulent pus ball.

[lunatica]

36. It's gotten so that rather than feeling anger about his obvious lack of

concern, sympathy, and giving a damn in general, I feel that it’s a good thing he goes golfing. He keeps himself entertained without the need to hurt children and all living things on the planet when he’s golfing. We can all give our PTSD a break for a little while.

I wish he would golf much more.

[Paladin]

39. I tend to agree with you.

We know he's a piece of shit. Hell, most of the country knows he's a piece of shit. And yet he remains in office. Better that he plays golf, confirming to the entire planet what a piece of shit he is, than fucking things up any further at the White House.

[sheshe2]

44. Well, lunatica.

With all due respect.

He has an evil crew he leaves behind that carries out his fondest dreams. He with Putin's direction hired every one of them. He is just the tool and fool. The others do the dirty work.

[lunatica]

46. I agree with you

But apparently no one can make a move until he OKs it. I’m not sure but I don’t recall anything being initiated while he golfs.

He has a tendency to fire people who act on their own. Megalomaniacs are like that. They expect complete loyalty at all times. He may not think of each evil thing his administration does, but he wants to be in control.

Not than any of this matters though. At best we only get a short reprieve if my theory is correct. So my theory is questionable.

[Demovictory9]

43. he doesnt care. incapable of pretending

[GoCubsGo]

47. ABC also pointed out that The Asshole spent the day golfing.

They didn't try to put a positive spin on it, like their correspondent did his "Category 5" comment this morning, either. I think even they may be starting to get fed up with the bullshit.

[sheshe2]

54. Like Bush when Louisiana drowned.

Neither cared.

Trump golfed. Bush played guitar and ate birthday cake.

[MyMission]

78. Many ABC local stations are owned by Repug conservatives

The Sinclair group bought our local abc some years back. That's when I stopped watching ABC, shortly followed by not watching any tv (except for Olympics, presidential debates, and the 2016 election results, which left me (and many) traumatized.) I read many websites, including DU, for my news.

So if they are showing frump golfing, they must really be fed up. That's a good sign!

[GoCubsGo]

79. ABC is owned by the Walt Disney Corporation, not Sinclair.

It's just the local news that Sinclair controls, not "Good Morning America" and "World News Tonight." Or, the national programming, such as the afternoon soap operas, and what you see on Prime Time. Sinclair has no say in any of that.

[meow2u3]

48. K&R for exposure of this psycho in the White House

[sheshe2]

51. They are not letting up.

They are hammering him.

Don Lemmon on now.

Tweets from trump how Alabama will be hit hard. Jaysus what a stupid ill informed ass!

Thank, meow.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

49. Impeach yesterday!

[Niagara]

62. I hope that we see better days with a REAL leader n/t

[PatrickforO]

66. Interesting that CNN did this. Good for them! n/t

[samnsara]

68. i have been watching CNN more and more..

..they dont give trump and inch.

[Rhiannon12866]

69. He sends me over the edge, too! From Twitter:

Link to tweet

[sheshe2]

77. Dear Goddess, how I hate him.

And his family of leeches.

[llashram]

70. Well

Nero fiddled as the story is told. And we have our very own posing as a potus when he is no more than a figurehead. His minions, the banks and wall street are the biggest winners of this administration of the U.S.A...oh joy

[sheshe2]

76. "Nero fiddled"

Apt analogy, llashram.

[lastlib]

74. Possibly it's better for everyone that he IS golfing.....

...and NOT interfering. Perhaps more good can be done without him sticking his fat lazy obnoxious nose into the affairs. I hope that's the case.
