7. Having spent 40+ years of my life in this field I feel compelled to speak out

Chasing -- and being chased by -- natural or technological (man-made) emergencies and disasters have given me a perspective on the desire of political animals to capitalize on human suffering. (Notice the absence of the word "other" in front of the word "human." That omission was deliberate).
Every disaster is political.
It's a fact of modern life. Politicians seeking (re-) election are drawn to events that are "newsworthy" out of opportunism, nobly or shamefully.
The response professionals (law-enforcement, fire, rescue, emergency medical, infrastructure, human-services) on site recognize this and maneuver around photo-ops as best they can. But -- without exception -- they'll tell you how much a pain-in-the-ass these visits are to the mission of delivering help to the impacted communities and families. Especially in the first stage of response.
It diverts precious resources, not the least of which is time, from protecting lives and property, and helping the victims.
Because government funding or public donations are linked to these "photo opportunities," these professionals may not speak out.
I, on the other hand, no longer feel constrained.
Fuck Drumpf and his stooge Pence for trying to capitalize on human suffering.
May they burn in whatever hell to which their beliefs ascribe!

9. PLAY-DOH - tRUMP SPENT A HALF MINUTE HELPING UNLOAD PLAY-DOH !!!!!

Just saw the video on MSNBC - tRump stood behind a truck and unloaded boxes of play-doh for about 30 seconds. People are dying of hunger and lack of clean water and tRump brings in play-doh. What a fucking moron.

11. Not even.....

He didn't bring anything but headaches. The truck was being used to store items that weren't needed right away.

They just handed him shit for 39 seconds.

He couldn't even handle cartons. They handed individual 6" x6"x8" retail packs. One at a time.

What a joke. It all went backcountry on the truck in one armful.

If Hillary had done that, they would have called her weak and a sign of stroke damage.

10. Luckovich has been on a roll!

12. Trump helped unload one box, asked for a strong man to take it from him. Women everywhere cringed.

What does he do with his photo op, insults half the population.
What a sexist fool, he doesn't even realize he is one. They post the video online!

“Give me a good, strong guy,” said Trump, because, you know, women can’t lift heavy things (like children). Trump can’t open his mouth without screwing up.

Not to mention, flying his giant air penis to LA just exacerbates global warming.
