I have witnessed a lot of stupid things in my life, but the people of Houston may be the dumbest humans on Earth. I have spent the last few days listen to politicians in the area prove they have no business running a Chucky Cheese let alone a major city. The inhabitants come from a state that elected Trump and boy does it show. Dozens have been interviewed by reporters where they said they were out of food and water and how they never thought it would ever be this bad. It was only broadcast 24/7 a week before landfall so the only person they have to blame is themselves.
I have been through a few hurricanes in my life. If I can help it, I will pass on riding out another, especially if it is going be a category three or higher. Yet, millions stayed put putting their lives and safety at risk. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and an unnamed federal judge (meaning both Democrats and Republicans fucked this one up) decided that evacuating the city was an impossibility and told people to shelter in place. As neither of these two idiots have taken a physics class apparently, they somehow never grasped the concept of how a liquid will rise when it has nowhere else to go. It is impossible to shelter in place when your fucking house is underwater. They didn't want a repeat of the Hurricane Rita evacuation and with good reason: it was a giant clusterfuck.
I have actually been part of planning evacuation routes in case of biological reasons like a plague for government forces in the past. I was stunned to see just how bad their preparations were and advised certain changes that were routinely ignored until Katrina came and everything I said would fall apart did and I have to give them credit, did make necessary changes afterward. Nothing ever gets fixed in this country until lots of people die first.
During Rita, instead of an organized evacuation utilizing buses and throughway traffic, everyone left at the same time which led to gridlock and deaths. They didn't even open up both sides of the highway until it was far too late. The fact the sea wall protecting the city was woefully inadequate didn't help either. So if you have a plan that doesn't work, one would think you would fix it right? Nope, these assholes threw the whole thing out and told people to stay put. Great plan numnuts, somehow not remembering Hurricane Katrina's victims trapped on roof tops for days on end.
Here's the worse news for Houston: there are going to be lots more like this because of climate change, that thing you don't believe in. In the past two years there have been three major floods that should happen once every five hundred years and this one was every thousand years. Two five hundreds year storms and a thousand year storm in the passage of just over a year means one and only one thing: you're going to fucking drown. Your fuckhead president just signed an EO that would prevent building of things like sea walls that would help cities like this from being flooded. Your state has NO regulations which is leading to building in areas that will not only flood but whose construction guarantee that other areas will flood worse. Concrete does not absorb water. You are voting for this people so when you lose everything know you are partially to blame for constantly voting in individuals who don't care about you and prove it at every instance.
Then you have your two utterly idiotic Senators, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, who both voted against funds for Hurricane Sandy. We should respond in kind. Texas should get NO federal help at all. If we don't respond in kind to what these hypocritical assholes keep screaming about, nothing will change. And if morons in Texas have to suffer for their idiocy, so be it. You want a non socialistic country, here's your chance. Fend for yourself and stop asking for "handouts' from the rest of us. See how being self sufficient works when no one gives you a hand when you need it. If they do want help, I want a signed statement from each person that they will NEVER vote Republican again under penalty of jail. Pick a side guys. Your either against socialism or for it, but I am sick and tired of hearing these fuckwads cry about their tax dollars going to things they hate, but have their hands out when it comes to their needs. If you selfish pricks think it's easier going alone, by all means try. When that fails admit that socialism works in some instances and stop voting in idiots who say different. As for me, I am not donating one red cent to Texas. Fuck them and theirs and I encourage others to follow suit. They look down on us as subhuman so right back at you. When you come your senses we can talk. Until then, fucking drown.
Notice the religious right isn't screaming about why God sent this death storm to Texas. I think God did send it their way as a warning for their support for Orange Hitler, anti-abortion and anti-gay views and for having the audacity to elect Ted Cruz to any job at all involving humans. Hey, if they can say so, so can I.
Trump is fucking this up too by spending more time tweeting about nonsense than fixing this. He is going to Texas on Tuesday for a photo op. Whee. This man is beyond dangerous and anyone who has read any historical story about Hitler will see frightening parallels. If the idiotic left like BLM and Antifa keep up violence against people, and journalists which is always stupid beyond words, they are giving Trump ammo to clamp down hard on protests of all sorts and even allow the possibility of martial law. That's playing right into his hands. Violence is a very bad idea and not needed right now. Anyone at a rally who sees one of these black clad douchebags, let them know they are not wanted, and if they start fighting you, knock them into next week. These assholes need to go away because they are making things worse.

With all due respect- there were lots of people who voted *against* Dump in TX. And they are suffering alongside the ones who did.
ReplyDeleteNow is not the time for partisanship. I don't care who they voted for- these are fellow Americans who are suffering.
I hate Dump as much as you- but now is not the time for that. Now is the time to come together and try to help people put their lives back together because we are all Americans, and that's the decent thing to do.
Let's be better than Dump and those who support him.
Just saying.
The people of Texas brought this on themselves. They voted for this. Now live with the fact that actions have consequences. You can't bitch about socialism and how global warming is a hoax and how regulations are "stifling" the economy and then watch your house float away because of all of those things are either true or necessary. When liberals suffer (Hurricane Sandy?) they cheered and voted overwhelmingly to not give money to anyone there. Why should I give a rats ass about people that are a)trying to kill me and everyone else not a retarded Republican and b)vote constantly for issues I find repugnant. They want the free market for everything, let's show them what that means when they are cold, hungry or dead.
