His administration already said they plan to head down there this week to survey the damage. Do they not understand that the storm will still be in the area? Rescue efforts will be ongoing and his dumbass will hamper them even more because of security concerns. I hope Gov. Abbott tells Trump to go gently caress himself and not enter the state.

How can this gently caress be so bad at structuring a sentence that he cannot even report something so simple as a disastrous flood WITHOUT LOOKING LIKE HE'S ROOTING FOR THE FLOOD?

On a similar note, who wants to bet at least one tone deaf media outlet/Trump himself will make a "Houston has a problem" headline?

Wasn't there a disaster where the right criticized Obama for not immediately visiting the site even though the security disruption was why they postponed the visit?

is there an applicable Trump tweet?

Fairly certain. Heaven forbid the POTUS have some forethought to not get in the way. I guess that's asking too much of Trump.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
Zoning laws are what prevent sprawl, protect interesting spaces and maintain variety in development- to say nothing of their vital role in stabilizing economies and preserving opportuniy, housing, and access for the less wealthy.

I honestly have to wonder if the information overload that is probably rolling into camp David over this disaster broke his brain even more. Like, he could easily just not be bothering with a garbage tweet storm at this exact moment. Isn't Sunday mornings a quiet time for him normally?

Holy gently caress. If I had seen that picture out of context I would have assumed that it was a drainage ditch(whatever the gently caress those are called in cities), not a flooded road.

He watches the Sunday morning tv and gets all his info there. Every single tweet can be directly traced to the exact segment and channel and words used. You never will ever need to worry about an information overload because he does not read or listen to anything with information, just cable news.

And also what prevent high density development in the first place.

Zoning as a concept is fine, but it is a political tool and like all political tools to favors those with political power.

It's been known / expected since before landfall that the Houston area could see 2ft+ of rain. The projections bringing it from 2 to 5 are fairly new, though, but.. this flooding has been "just" the 2 feet of rain that was originally expected.
