Hurricane Harvey: Storm and Recovery Thread

[88m3]

I watched it...I have no hope left for this country.

Really channeling his inner dictator huh?

I thought the armed guys on the roof and black trucks were a nice touch.

Calling the storm epic and huge was also a pretty interesting take

Seems that this is an opportunity for Democrats to prove their altruism in supporting federal relief. Also seems that this is an opportunity for Texan Separatists to STFU and appreciate the federal benefits they receive.

Never going to happen...

Redneck hypocritical low life pieces of shyt will take their handout and then turn around and pretend they never needed it on some "we picked ourselves up by the bootstraps" shyt...

Liberals need to stop giving these savages the benefit of the doubt hoping they gain some decency...

I saw another clip with I believe the governor and he was saying something like, "I don't want to say congratulations. Now isn't the time for that, but we will congratulate each other when this is over."

FOH

Once it's over they'll go right back to accusing anyone else in need of wanting handouts. Don't get me wrong I'm all for aid because it's the right thing to do, but a$$holes are going to continue to be a$$holes and it's dumb to expect otherwise.

Altruism doesn't expect anything in return

Altruism doesn't expect anything in return

That's my point.

Aid is the right thing to do in this situation, but nobody (and certainly not Democrats) should go in expecting any sort of gratitude or political advantage.

Re: Press conference, he keeps sharply turning his head like the governor going to say some off the cuff insult lol

He really almost laughed when he said "....trapped in various locations" (crazy hand gesture)

I can't do this.
