Can't the MSM cover two disasters at once? I guess 45 is thrilled with a new "distraction".

(50,773 posts)everyone will be shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
Feeling very sad for my country today. I used to be proud of it. I notice more and more when talking to friends from other countries that I am progressively more ashamed of it.

(31,261 posts)The right will blame local politicians for the death count. I had a rightwinger show me parked school buses in New Orleans as proof that the Mayor and Democratic governor did not try to get people there to safety.
With rightwingers, we can dump solid gold bricks on their lawn and they will blame us for trashing their lawn.

(63,650 posts)we have an imbecile occupying the WH. This man is nothing but a BS artist, and he's taking us down with him, unless we band together and say no more. Congress has their band of useless cowardly men who will continue to do the bidding of this stupid man, who continues to kiss up to his base, and a poor excuse of a person.
I just feel horrible that Puerto Rico Mayor is being humiliated and scorned by this administration they continue to lie about how they are doing a great job, that is total bs. I almost feel the way I did when Bush started to bomb Iraq. Iraq did not deserve the bombing of their country. Puerto Ricans were at the mercy of two horrific hurricanes, which were perpetrated by continual warming of our climate and our oceans. They did not ask for this now they paying with their lives because of the colour of their skin and their accents. We will see in the coming weeks how much death did occur due to this racist piece of crap we have right now.
