5. Do you have a link to that somewhere?
I would love to read this stupidity in full. That is the biggest pile of crap, on top of the already big piles of crap that this administration is trying to spew.

"They didn't know?" BULLSHIT. They'd have to be on the fucking moon not to know.

6. He also had no fucking idea that there were tens of thousands in the city.
He said some stupid thing to the effect that, suddenly there were people showing up on bridges and on platforms that we didn't know about.

No kidding you stupid dipshit!

The people do not walk around with your emergency plan on their hip pocket.

They depend on roads to be marked as evacuation routes and also directing them to shelters.
