Greets and saluts from the Resistance in the NYC metro area.

Hurricane Harvey is bearing down on the Gulf Coast and Texas is squarely in the path. Looks like it’s going to be a significant flooding event affecting millions of people and the storm strength has been upgraded so that there’s the likelihood of significant coastal flooding and damaging wind to go along with 2-3 feet of rain as the storm stalls out.

So, it’s awesome knowing that Trump is fixated like a laser beam on the important things - attacking Senator Corker (a GOPer from TN) and GOP leadership in Congress because they’re not changing the rules to satisfy Trump’s demands.

Priorities. Prep for a storm that has massive consequences (like significant loss of life and potentially shutting down oil production/refinery capacity for a period of time causing price spikes). Or petty political attacks.

Yeah, we know. It’s Trump. He’s got his priorities.

Meanwhile, Gov. Abbott of Texas is telling everyone that he’s working with the feds at FEMA, DHS, etc., to prep for the storm. Glad to know that he’s leaning on these agencies and departments in a crisis. Of course, these fuckers want to see FEMA gone because they’re GOPers and Trump has also called for significant cuts to the agency.

These hypocritical nuts have no problem when they need assistance, but how dare anyone else rely on these critical services.

We can only hope that Trump hasn’t completely fucked up FEMA and DHS ability to respond to a crisis, because there’s lives at stake.

A handful of GOPers understand the consequences:

But that’s the outlier.

Democrats and lib media are no doubt hoping for Hurricane Harvey to make a direct hit on Texas so they can blame @realDonaldTrump. Bastards. pic.twitter.com/3LFuvHUHHC

Trump and GOP have sought to gut federal disaster response; look at the GOP/Trump budget requests. There’s the priority. Tax cuts not lives.
