What if a real disaster happens? [View all]

What if the Hoover Dam broke and released millions of tons of water?

What if ...

Oh, shit. Pick your own disaster.

My real question is what if another horrible disaster happens with this moron in the White House?

You just know he'll sit there sucking his thumb and wondering who he can blame it on.

In truth, we had a real disaster last year. Puerto Rico was devastated and all the fool did was toss around paper towels. This should have been enough to remove him from office. But countless Puerto Rican Americans died because he didn't declare a national emergency. Who knows how many could have been saved if all of our military resources has been deployed?

A dangerous fool is in charge of the White House and is the one who declares national emergencies. All you can do is hope that some horrors: fires; hurricanes; tornadoes; earthquakes; floods; or meteor strikes don't hit your neighborhood.

If any of this happens, expect tons of thoughts and prayers from Trump and the Republicans. But not much more. After all, the country we used to call America is fucked up beyond repair.

Here's the reality. We have a president that doesn't get it and doesn't give a fuck whether you live or die. This horrible, clueless man has been responsible for deaths in Puerto Rico and who knows where else. How many more people will suffer and/or die because we are insane enough to let this creature continue to be a totally insane occupant of the Oval Office?
