How will Trumpelstiltskin handle Cat 4 Harvey?

Better check again.





Here is the key stat:

Compare that to entry IT in America of nearly $50k. America is outsourcing the most technical, highly paid and highly skilled jobs overseas. There is a reason that Asian patents are skyrocketing and American patents are plateaued. China's patent applications are now more than USA and Japan combined. If you think your country can offshore innovation to save costs on labor, you have to realize that your country will eventually fall into irrelevance as the country that is the recipient of this great gift becomes the global leader.

Wrong thread?

I wonder if he will fight for Houston/TX rebuild money as hard as he'll push for Wall money.

Maybe we'll see some backlash from Texas Republicans. Well, if they realize that sometimes priorities need to be reordered.

OTOH, it's Texas, so it's hard to tell.

I do believe that the Trump admin is doing their best. They need to show that they're competent at something, anything, and this is their chance. I hope they succeed.

 

[FIVR]

I hope they succeed.

You hope Trump succeeds. This is why we can't have nice things.


Libtards always wanna look good "helping out" deplorables but much like the frog that helps the scorpion, it is in their nature to stab you in the back. Perhaps you know that already, and don't care?


Texas should be left to drown just like their state representatives voted to let NY and NJ drown in Sandy. F them and F their state. Let them eat frogs. They deserve every last drop of this deluge and more. Let God sort them out.

Yes how could they have missed this when gerrymandering the districts. This should only happen to a blue county.

I hate saying this, but not really, No federal money for Texas.

That's just wrong. They're fellow Americans in need of our help.

You're saying that millions of people in Texas who didn't vote for a right wing agenda should suffer because other people did. Mighty broad brush you have there.

Going beyond partisanship, it's always a good thing when the govt gets it right. That's why we need & have govt in the first place, to buffer the people against all the vicissitudes of the world. It's why the so-called Deep State is actually a good thing because it's built on the efforts of a lot of honest, intelligent & hard working people going back for generations.

How does any honest President cope with a natural disaster? He reaches out to the people who specialize in dealing with them, asks what he can do to help. He quells bureaucratic conflicts. He expedites the process where he can. I hope Trump is up to that for the sake of all Americans who may find themselves in need of such help.

you are an asshole in need of immediate psychiatric help.

Fuck you conservaterrorists. Go drown in your sewage for all we care after what you did when we needed help after Sandy.

You can quote me on that.

Just divide the country already.

LOL, the ironing in this post is off the charts. BTW you know FIVR is just a wannabe russian troll right?

A hell of a lot of Houstonians did help after Sandy, including me. We know what is needed after a hurricane because we have been through a few. Houstonians sent money and goods, sent people and equipment. Our politicians might be garbage, but remember that a hell of a lot of the people were there to help, just like we were after Katrina where Houston took in tens of thousands of refugees, many of which are still there going through all this again.

I donated and helped after Katrina, Rita and Ike. After Sandy I swore never to.

 

[Jaskalas]

Tell that to these senior citizens.

That pic is a very sad situation but the local gov still made the right call.

You never fail to impress.

Okay Caveman, would you prefer this?
2005: Senior Citizens From Houston Die When Bus Catches Fire

That is what happened last time they evacuated Houston. It's tough to tell what course of action would cause greater death(s). Remember that the order would have been given, maybe, the night before landfall. People would have started to evacuate the day of....out on the roads as the flood started. That would not have been pretty.

Right, Houston did not have days to prepare for this storm, they had hours.

All evidence to the contrary since you voted for a nazi who wants and defends people who have killed Americans. You're the hateful one.

But under your ignorant and hateful logic that you get by sucking on Trump's weiner, why don't you just call me an illegal alien and go home? LOLOLOLOL.

wow you are crazy. please get help.

take a look in the mirror, all you do is attack people, spew hate and lie.

Recriminations over the past are stupid & pointless. It's an opportunity for all Americans to call on our better natures & call on our govt to do what can be done to help our fellow Americans & make donations as well.

Or has all this corrosive right wing attitudinal mind rot of FYGM crippled us too much to agree on that?

It is a fact but we live in the age of when facts don't matter.

So, the next time some right wing twit goes on about "They're just as bad!" he'll be correct in saying so?

 

[SheHateMe]

SO this happened today. Man...those emotions were raw, reporter didn't know what to do.

 

[Engineer]

Is it just me or is T-Rump treating this like a campaign rally? Stating things like (paraphrased) we can congratulate ourselves when this is over, what a crowd...what a turnout and this will be the best response to by an administration in history.

Why does this man have to think that everything has to be about him? Always looking for a pat on the back. Seems it wasn't Bannon has competition in the 'suck his own c _ _ k' department.
