And yet, there he was today, pitching in long enough for the cameras to snap up some pics, hugging a few chosen people to show that he cares, and playing hype man to his boss who will head to Houston at the end of this week. It's all, of course, a big joke. And no one believes that trump (or Pence for that matter) gives a crap about those people in Texas. It's Donald trump, he is incapable of feeling anything for another human being.
At least he has pledged a million dollars, although that too might be iffy. I will believe that he is parting with that million when I see him actually giving the check to a worthy cause. I suspect that a year from now, we will al be wondering what happened to the check. It will stay in the place that all of Donald's empty promises and pledges went: His mind.
Finally, it seems that Sheriff David Clarke, who was the second worst sheriff in America, has resigned. I suspect that if he didn't he would be forced out one way or another. He is lucky he is not leaving office in handcuffs, given that an inmate actually died of thirst in his jail.
But he should be fine, he is, after all, a friend of the president, a man who seems to have a penchant for law enforcement officials who abuse the office and the law that they are sworn to uphold. I am sure that the president will find something for him to do.
Besides, the president could use a new African American friend, since HIS other African American has turned on him.

6 big, hughh helicopters for the vp and his mob waiting on the photo op... while down the road this hospital needed large aircraft to transport their patients.. lot of waste and cost related to donald, pence and their crews. Why do you need the treasury sec. with you and the other cabinet members. Seems he need a dedicated and adoring crew at all times. I just see massive taxpayer dollars for just his ego. I hope the supporters are concern that nothing will be coming their way.
Third world act, one pipeline now threaten all the East Coast. That governor of Texas is a gem. I expected him to kiss Trump in the mouth with all the grease he spreaded on that guy. Another concern, all the federal, state and local personnel has been white. Optics can be depressing. When the story is told his story will have him as heroes. But thank God for the providers of rescue. I even felt better just seeing some guys rescuing pets.
How about all the black optics of the looting? Don't worry, I am sure in 2020 The Booker/Harris ticket will sail easily into the White House and Utopia will not be far behind.
The lotting?

Trump will be a two term president if the Democrats don't clean up their act. Today we learned that Comey decided he would exonerate Clinton while the investigation /"the matter" was still in progress and before she was interviewed. The only surprise is that the public is finding out about it. The government always decides what they will find before they investigate. Then they make up stuff like magic bullets and jet fuel melting steel to justify the conclusion they want. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2017/08/31/confirmed-comey-decided-he-wasnt-going-to-refer-hillary-for-prosecution-before-interviewing-key-witnesses-n2375767
Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared with Democratic operative/lobbyist Evan Ross who threatened to shoot Julian Assange. Then Ross cried "bullying" when Assange responded. What a punk! The DNC fraud lawsuit getting dismissed on a technicality provided no incentive for the DNC to change. Their corruption and cheating is allowed. The "most qualified presidential candidate in history" lost to Donald Trump. Donations to the DNC were the lowest they've been since the Democrats colluded with Bush to attack Iraq. The RNC raised more than twice as much as the DNC. That isn't because the Republicans are good. It's because the Democrats are bad. What do you think exposing the Russia hacking lie is going to do? Instead of Democrats lying and covering things up corruption they should be cleaning house. You won't have to wait for the next presidential election to see what will happen. You'll see it in 2018. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE1clcr3DOY

I'm pretty skeptical that this isn't a photoshop job.
I'm not saying there aren't some good ol' boys down in Texas who are, let's just say, not the sharpest knives in the drawer. But "lotters" really stretches credulity.
I only hope that Cletus and the sisterfuck posse can shoot better than they can spell.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a joke...
Humpty Trumpty, and Little Miss Muffet Melania
in the middle of flood ravaged Texas
all decked out in brand new clothes,
white collar turned up, fashion statement 6 inches stiletto heels,
brand new bomber jackets and brand new baseball caps to advertise who they are.
No empathy. for the flood victims... just empty fake words and a photo op.
...along came a crocodile from the muddy waters and frightened them back onto Air Force 1

And first lady having on a FLOTUS hat in a floodzone? Not good optics.
Optics ARE important.
I'm down here in the middle of this mess.
(My neighborhood is relatively high above street grade. I had three feet of running water down my street but the water never really got close to the foot of the foundation.)
FEMA will do their job but it's the actions of the residents in the 48 hours before and after the storm that make the difference.
I'd been through this before so I knew how to prepare for storms in order to survive until resources arrived.
I made sure anything I had in Houston was locked and looked after, farms in Louisiana were stocked and secured, and I sheltered in place between those areas.
One of my clubs was set up to have patrons donate what they could to those without but the water is off in the entire city and we couldn't open for sanitation reasons. We just gave the donations to an existing church's program to get around the profit taking of organizations like the Red Cross.
Honestly, to those actually helping, race doesn't matter.
I have Hotep, 'woke' homeboys working with Billy-Bobs from a neighboring Sun Down Town rescuing people and providing services that a government response couldn't.
There are many 'victims' of all races and nationalities but there are also many regular people from the same races and nationalities getting things done without depending on help from the government or the Salvation Army or Red Cross.
I, as well as those in my circle, have been doing remediation for whoever needs it at no cost. (Which is why I got out of the construction business. I'd done so much free work after Rita that I lost too much money to continue.)
But yeah, even many Blacks are disgusted with many Nigga's in the hood trying to rob Cajun Navy members who were in the hood to help. Or those going to every station filling their homes with food and supplies intended for everyone. Or those who loot. 'You Loot - We Shoot' are what the signs read through out our neighborhood.
Cajun Navy members rolled through our neighborhood asking if we were flooded or needed help. 'Nah, we're good. But are you hungry? We're BBQ-ing down the block.'. They stayed, ate and got some rest. Many were surprised that such a self-sufficient all-Black neighborhood existed. They told their stories and we told ours and they left to help others.
Honestly, more Blacks need to be giving.
Most of the other volunteers I meet are white even though this town in is half Black. It may be a class/financial situation but most of the food banks, shelters, aid stations,... are staffed with mostly white people with mostly Blacks getting assistance. The more Blacks seen on the giving end the better. It shows (other, less educated and/or blessed) Blacks that everything isn't about 'catching a lick' or making a 'quick come-up'. All those 'woke' brotha's are the first in line to receive aid but they are the last in line to render help. 'That's white folks' job', is what I hear from many who protest and complain about every perceived micro aggression.
(Sorry for the long comment - it's just that many stereotypes are being proven while fewer are being shattered.)
Thanks for the first-hand report, John.
Meanwhile, the extreme weather pattern which usually brought Southern California nice, sunny summers and winter and spring rains while Texas got the flooding has caused a record-breaking heat wave. Los Angeles County got some cooler temperatures yesterday, due to monsoonal thunderstorms. Some damage, but no comparison. Temps back up again today.
Wah, fucking, wah. HRC was exonerated before the investigation was complete. We couldn't find anything to chatge her with, but wah, fucking, wah, she should've been killed for what she didn't get charged with. Wah, fucking, wah.
Cry me a river with a cherry on top.
Long after HRC is dead the whining won't stop.
They were sure they had her, 30 years past.
When history has forgotten her, the hatred will last.
They love them some Ted Dead Kennedy, too.
The GOP senators referred to Comey's statement as "exonerating" Clinton, but it was so critical of her and her aides that it subsequently led Democrats to write to the Office of Special Counsel to seek a probe of whether his comments were intended to damage her prospects in the presidential race.
Some exoneration. Grasp at straws to stir your drink. You done already drowned in hate. Too bad so sad you're dead wingnuts.
TY John.
LimpPaw, don't read Wonkettes take on yer story. They are much funnier and more deadly accurate with their humiliation of wingnut nutters.

Thank you Brother John, Brother Field has never restricted the length of one's comment. I hope you are staying safe in these trying times. And this too shall pass.
Rumour has it ex Sheriff Clarke has a position lined up inDrumpfuck's clueless administration.
Clarke and R. Piehole would make a great comedy duo and could teach civil rights classes to Drumpf's cabinet members when they get incarcerated.
Honestly, more Blacks need to be giving.

Or you could pay attention to the number of Blah folks in long lines to volunteer. Just because YOU don't see something doean't mean it's not happening. On that note my hometown is offering homes to those displaced by Harvey.

So, um, that Politico cartoon that everyone got mad at? The one showing the Texan saying "thank you, angels" or "praise Jesus" or whatever, and the rescuers saying "no, actually, dude, it's the government who's saving your bacon"?
It seems to be coming true. A Texas official has actually turned down flood aid from the government of a Canadian province, in favor of ... prayer. Okay, then. Sounds sensible. Hey, drenched, cold, homeless people: Have some prayer. That'll help.
Quebec Offered Texas Aid, But the Sec. of State Said They Just Needed Prayers
It is impossible to parody Texas. Whatever ridiculous jokes you make about the state's politics, the reality is worse.
@ PilotX - Blacks ARE volunteering - just not in my area.I am in a town that is the least educated city in the country and one of the most violent in the state.
I already stated that it may be a financial/class issue.
Houston has many suburbs (Missouri City, Sugarland,...) with more affluent and better educated Blacks. I just made a run out there to make sure a couple of kids I raised were doing volunteer work. These kids and their friends were already signed up (a couple of them had even been flooded out of their own homes). With this group it is seen as 'cool' to help out.
I stand by my statements: Optics ARE important and more Blacks need to be seen on the giving end.
"I stand by my statements: Optics ARE important and more Blacks need to be seen on the giving end.'
Huh? People need to help each other out in this situation and mugging for a camera won't do it. Some people will never be satisfied no matter how many negroes are seen volunteering. And what we need is a Trump style photo op, HA!
Who the fuck is talking about doing anything for the camera?
Blacks need to see more Blacks doing for themselves in their own neighborhoods and towns.
We do and we are man.

"I'd been through this before so I knew how to prepare for storms in order to survive until resources arrived."
Your mentality is NOTHING like the typical hood rat. The hood rats of New Orleans stayed put because they knew that their neighbors would steal all their stuff if they left. Then when their neighborhoods flooded, they said "lawdy lawdy hep us!" My county sent an amphibious vehicle down there to rescue people. Thank goodness it was armored so hood rats shooting at it did next to nothing.
You have to credit the initiative of the hood rats who stole a New Orleans school bus and drove themselves to Houston. They both got themselves out of trouble and prevented the bus from being ruined by water damage. This could have been done with ALL the buses, but Mayor Ray Nagin was too stupid to think of this or listen to anyone who could. If there was an IQ test for holding public office, I bet he'd fail. Sitting his ass in prison sure looks like failure.
"I have Hotep, 'woke' homeboys working with Billy-Bobs from a neighboring Sun Down Town rescuing people and providing services that a government response couldn't."
IOW, give thanks to the Cajun Navy. If you would support either sterilizing or re-colonizing your moron co-racials we might finally achieve racial peace in this country.
"Cajun Navy members rolled through our neighborhood asking if we were flooded or needed help. 'Nah, we're good. But are you hungry? We're BBQ-ing down the block.'. They stayed, ate and got some rest. Many were surprised that such a self-sufficient all-Black neighborhood existed."
You are a major exception. If there was obvious support from yours for cracking down on the stereotypical dysfunctional types (the Angel Adamses and ghetto mom taser targets) a lot of the damage from the (((race-baiters))) could be healed.
"it's just that many stereotypes are being proven while fewer are being shattered."
Stereotypes are statistical truths. Shame your dysfunctionals and do everything you can to see that they never reproduce.
"I already stated that it may be a financial/class issue."
It's a genetic issue. Lack of impulse control and empathy are passed down from the parents. The only way to get rid of the problem is to stop those with it from having children with the same deficiencies they have... or at least not have children in this country.
"Houston has many suburbs (Missouri City, Sugarland,...) with more affluent and better educated Blacks."
Affluence does not raise the children of rich Blacks to the scholastic achievement of the children of poor Whites. The Black parents who moved to Shaker Heights where there were "good schools" only to see their children fall far short showed that education does not operate on a blank slate; genetics rule everything.
"Optics ARE important and more Blacks need to be seen on the giving end."
So what's this going to accomplish when you're talking to a population with an average IQ of maybe 80, with vastly lower empathy than you've got, and no ability to understand WHY they should be giving as well as taking? What if you're talking to people who'd just as soon boat-jack their saviors?
Really, you need to write that population off and get it out of this country (and support everyone else who wants this) for your own sake.
This from a guy who claims to have an IQ of 150 but shows no evidence of such. James wishes he had an IQ of 80. His is in the low single digits.
150 IQ bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahagahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Got 556??
yup
I too am glad to see King Coon gone from here (I'm a Milwaukeean). But if he had not resigned I doubt black folks here would have united enough to force him out. White folks and conservatives here were pretty much looking at his antics like 'meh'*shrug*. He'd be real smart to leave the state now that he's a civilian.
