Texans Brace For Presidents Response To Hurricane



HOUSTON—Battening down the hatches as the potentially disastrous situation unfolded, Texans braced themselves Friday for President Trump’s response to Hurricane Harvey. “I don’t know how bad it’s going to be, but I’m preparing for the worst,” said resident Jacob Hoyt, echoing the sentiments of millions of residents along the state’s coast who were hunkering down for what many predict will be a catastrophically inept relief effort. “This won’t be easy. If nothing else, I’m hoping it’ll be over with pretty quick.” At press time, frightened Texans had learned that Trump’s response in the aftermath would likely be worse than even the most dire forecasts.

The reality is deplorable, and likely true in some minds.

Sorry if you are offended.

Not that you needed to insert it on my account. Thanks for clarifying.

Near Houston (where I live; high and dry this morning) is a small town called Cleveland, which has a long history of Klan activity. So even perusing your profile and noting you were probably from the big town in Ohio, I read too much into the missing sarcasm smiley.

I am an old school sort of guy.

I do not use emoticons, or twitter, or anything like that.

Obviously, I am a pissed off Democrat!

I am happy that way!

Haven't decided which way I'm facing yet. The Sheriff Joe pardon is the prequel to the stream of obscenities we can expect over the next few days.

But, it's predicted he may linger on the subject for several days, inundating the population of the gulf coast with tweets and saccharine aggression.
