El Pollo Blanco posted:I'm really entertained that most of this thread though Trump pardoned Arpaio during the start of Harvey because it'd buried by hurricane news, but then he just straight up comes out and tells everyone he did it because it'd get higher ratings during the hurricane. Yeah it turns out people care more about the actual crisis than that even though national attention will come back to that essentially. The only reason he's going to Texas I'm sure is because all of the national attention is focused there and of course he needs to be in the center of it. I bet he was super cheesed that Harvey stole any chance of him being able to dominate the news cycle over the weekend. Like he tried to get it back with the Arpaio pardon but nope. In retrospect it really almost makes you wonder just how much of the outrageous things he does are entirely because he thinks it'll put the spotlight and focus on him. Guy seems to have less prime directives and even more overriding dominant ones running around in his brain than Robocop. Everything he does and says has also completely devolved to transparently to this base level of "Obama bad, me need attention" or at least that's all I ever seem to hear about in relation to what he's doing lately. I guess when you have virtually no staff (and soon to be less when he fires Tillerson this Friday) and the people that are left barely seem to take you seriously at all so much as a small child that needs to be micromanaged that'll happen. His agenda is totally divorced from the GOP's at this point too it looks like. They're going to be trying to handle budget and tax (break policy for the ultra rich) poo poo next week to keep the U.S from defaulting (and pander to THEIR base which doesn't entirely overlap with Trumps) and he's going to be on about the loving wall, NAFTA, trying to undo Obama policies and probably yell and holler at Mitch McConnell on twitter when they don't immediately go to work debating the health care repeal again.

NoEyedSquareGuy posted:A team of rescuers are suspending operations because they were going to save people, who then shot at them and tried to steal the boats. Guessing maybe it was a fake report and that's why it was taken down? No, I'm sure roving bands of looters are teaming up with the gators and riding fire ant rafts to attack people out to rescue people. Definitely not some racist chicken poo poo who saw a group of black people, turned his boat around and then told his buddies about how he fought off a hoard of looters while saving Miss Houston.

FizFashizzle posted:This is actually a big deal because it allows the organs of republicans discourse to claim there's a debate over this, plus it lets them say they're trying to save money. Yeah, this can really gently caress us over. However, evilweasel posted:yeah except if there's one thing democrats would be more willing to filibuster a spending bill over than THE WALL its this The filibuster protects us. But, it also makes a real rock-and-a-hard-place situation. If the dems filibuster, does this cause a shutdown? However, Dems also know Repubs shutdown last time for DUMBER reasons and WON electorally for it. In short, I think and hope and pray this gets killed for being the bullshit that it is and Trump is forced to have to be investigated by Muller entire the day he is finally impeached for being the usurper traitor that he is.

No , they're just a group of loosely affiliated boat owners that used their boats to rescue people during the Baton Rouge flooding. They're not bad people. Basically volunteer boat people who go out and rescue people from flooding.

Trump later cried about it and literally insinuated that Macron was gay for him, so I don't think they looked equally bad in any way. Trudeau won points by avoiding the insane stupidity almost entirely

I know this is a left leaning forum and poor white people are bad and evil but goddamn. The government doesn't keep a poo poo ton of boats around for emergencies, and during major flooding events often relies on civilian fishing boats and such to rescue people.

Trump is still afraid to fire people. https://twitter.com/JenniferJJacobs/status/902323967784087552 quote:TV and social media coverage showed that the site of his campaign rally, the Phoenix Convention Center, was less than full. Backstage, waiting in a room with a television monitor, Trump was displeased, one person familiar with the incident said: TV optics and crowd sizes are extremely important to the president.
