Just further proof that he's WAY more limber than even The Mooch said Bannon was.

Remember when Scaramucci described Steve Bannon sucking his own cock?

Well, trump can shit in his own mouth. AND add both feet.

Awwwwww... So cute!

HAH! This is that adorable "Sez WHO???" guy.

Michael Cohen. JERK. I remember one of his earlier interviews, where he "answered" every question the anchor asked with "sez WHO?" With the brashest, cockiest, in-yer-face attitude I've EVER seen. Like the Mafia-wannabe bully he undoubtedly is.

Fake Screws!

(Once again, projection much?)

I totally get where you're coming from, BigmanPigman.

I have to fight, HARD, to fend off immediate reactions along the lines of "karma for voting republi-CON?"

Yet there's real pain and suffering there. And we have to remind ourselves of that. (At least I certainly do.) But I confess, sometimes I can be as "fucking heartless" toward the red states as anyone else here. And for that I apologize.

I've found that sometimes it helps to remember the message of Matthew 25: 35-45 - the one about "whatever you do to the least of these." I sure get up on my soapbox about it, here, enough times, when it applies to other people...

Welcome to DU to you, too, SharonKatz!

Maybe it's because flooding like this happens so rarely, and people get complacent? I heard this one described as "a 100-year flood."

Here in SoCal, we have earthquakes. The big ones happen mighty rarely, too. And we can get complacent, as well. But the building codes are really stringent now. And sometimes it seems as though inspectors are crawling all over construction sites. Seems like a necessity, regardless how annoying or expensive it might be.

Pennywise/pound-foolish - something most CONservatives and republi-CONS are, on overtime. The entire reagan era was a celebration of that. Hate on paying taxes. Cut everywhere you can. And then a disaster happens and you're unprepared and thoroughly screwed.

Welcome to DU, ggccvvtt!

MAN that bothers me, too. They're always part of the collateral damage from these disasters. Homeless pets that wind up in shelters, and then worse, because the family has to flee. Awful. I remember when the foreclosure crisis hit parts of SoCal rather badly. The East Valley Animal Shelter was overwhelmed with a sudden population explosion of abandoned pets. SO sad!!! We have four rescues in our house - three cats, one dog. I wish I could take them all, but as the one mainly responsible for animal maintenance, that's about as much as I can handle.

Off topic, but I just had to say - it's really astonishing to see how your avatar image

of "45" so closely resembles a swastika.

Man-oh-man - those fish lips again.

WELL said, syringis.

I think you're exactly right.

We NEED good government. I feel like asking all those "I hate the government" folks - so you're okay with anarchy then?

I rubbed it in with a friend of mine who voted for trump. We were texting back and forth about it and I threw in "I can't wait to see how all those 'I hate the government' types start clamoring for NOAA, the National Weather Service, and especially FEMA!"

I remember when Katrina happened, and the most valuable (although, I bet, fleeting) comment came from some man who was in a neighboring state to Louisiana, when the storm had moved inland from New Orleans and was starting to affect where HE lived. And he conceded that "well, I guess there ARE times when you need the federal government." No DUH, dude. Particularly when the disaster crosses state lines, and proves, rather painfully, that no one state can handle all the work or cover all the damage or attend to all the needs of the many who are affected and afflicted.

My husband wondered aloud just this morning - how long before Texas might find it has to levy a state income tax on its citizens to cover all the expenses incurred from Hurricane Harvey.
