😀 😀 Coming back to this made me chuckle. Work called earlier to remind me that there are three online work-related videos that I need to complete by the end of the month. So I went to the site to do them. Groan…. started having difficulties accessing the 3rd one, while the 2nd was completed but not recorded in my training profile! Ah, well, there’s tomorrow to sort this out.
This is what you do on disaster: give to local groups who will be there after the TV trucks leave. serve the victims & help recovery https://t.co/IaFJijakzb
I know how that feels. I was in Washington state in January 1992 for two weeks. It rained for almost 2 weeks and when the sun came out the last few days there….ALL the folks from California stood up like these folks and was so glad to see the sky and the sun.
Posted this last night; seemed fitting with all the stories of kindness coming out of Texas. We are setting an example, they should follow.💕 pic.twitter.com/JZbP3ZmXm0
oh, they will throw one dollar bone to the middle class and give the 1000 dollar steak to the 1%ers for free. and the middle class will wag its tail and stay faithful waiting for another piece of bone.
Well I sure won’t be wagging my tail for anything from Twitler. Anyway, if I’m recalling it right, this next crap sandwich from the GOP will require 60 votes. Not gonna happen.
Heads up, the next #disaster looming on the horizon for southeast Texas:

Here was what sunset east of Houston looked like last night — looks like the Emerald City, right? (I’ve been to Houston, but have only viewed from the west, never from the east):

Violence doesn’t accomplish anything, other than enraging, escalating mindless vengeance.
People who steadfastly adhere to violence because they hate FUBAR so much means deepening the divide between US citizens — which gives FUBAR the perfect way to unite the country… by going to war with either (or both?) Iran and/or North Korea, which would be catastrophic for the US.
1. Let's get real about what happens if we walk unilaterally from the JCPOA, eventually it's most likely war or a nuclear-armed Iran

ha, Special Counsel Mueller is working with the New York AG mitigate any pardons by the homegrown demagogue => state charges can not be nullified by a presidential pardon.
should the homegrown demagogue pardon any people on Team Treason, then states (especially New York) are already working on a back-up plan to file state charges;
many of us have heard about this for a long time.
it is therefore not surprising to see that some are FINALLY reporting it;
ps,
by pardoning the racist corrupt arpaio, the homegrown demagogue revealed that there is nothing he wouldn’t do to pardon his corrupt network.
his arrogance and corrupt stance made it urgent to put in place alternative plans … checkmate;
or as they say …. he who laughs last laughs loudest and longest
No he did not meta, and it is a disgrace. He is their Commander in Chief and cannot be bothered to acknowledge their ultimate sacrifice. He should be impeached for this, if nothing else.
Seeing the pictures of PBO hugging people makes me want to cry.
Watching Maxine Waters on MSNBC this evening brought a smile to my face. Loved hearing her say that she’s “excited” about the investigation surrounding PP. LOL.
And, btw, if Trump nukes NK, the Chinese needn’t fire a single shot to crush the US. All they have to do is halt credit to the US +/- demand cash for the Federal Bonds they hold.
For anyone interested in contributing to Jordyn, the little girl who was found clinging to her dead mom, this campaign is being run by and contributed to by many of the familiar faces from the Obama admin/days. Made me feel good to add something to it.
My dear family. I cannot sleep. We must help this little girl who lost her mom. First 10 people to give $10 I’ll RT: https://t.co/fOXXDAbESn
Thank you FoxfireTX and others for your good news stories among all the horrors from our so called government. Here is a little gift to you to hopefully being a smile, even if a sarcastic one, to all your lovely faces.
hey girl…so you're officially out of the club. you will never be let back in. you are a traitor. you have no empathy. no sisterhood. https://t.co/dt8OOf6DOe
So we have PEOPLE POWER! No amount of funds can compensate for this mother’s sacrifice to save her daughter, but I hope she rests easier knowing that so many are helping to ensure her daughter will have all the educational opportunities she desires. Her mother was a nurse, which somehow makes me cry more. Time for bed. Good night to all the good people at TOD.
Beautiful people.
You raised $51,079 in 2 hrs for this precious angel.
The commanding officer who led the federal response to Hurricane Katrina blasted current relief efforts in Louisiana and Texas following Hurricane Harvey, warning on Wednesday that officials were unprepared for the scope of the disaster.
“In Katrina, we had 40,000 National Guard [troops], 240 helicopters on the fourth day,” retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré told CNN. “They just got 100 helicopters in Texas. Something is significantly wrong in our command and control.”
“They need to stop patting each other on the back while these poor people are out here waiting to be rescued,” he added.
Honoré told CNN that the disaster caused by Harvey was “a lot bigger” than the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina, which in 2004 left more than 1,200 dead and caused $108 billion in damages.
“This is a lot bigger. I went out on a boat this morning in this very same community right here. This is huge,” Honoré told CNN.
Chemicals have been released into the atmosphere from a flood-damaged plant near the storm-hit US city of Houston, local officials say.
Earlier, black smoke was seen issuing from the Arkema chemical plant at Crosby.
A police officer who was helping secure the site was taken to hospital after inhaling fumes, while nine others admitted themselves as a precaution.
Arkema said this was believed to have been caused by a “non-toxic irritant”.
Harris County sheriff Ed Gonzales said the release was not believed to have been a result of an explosion, despite earlier reports of blasts.
Residents living within a 1.5-mile (2.4km) radius of the plant were evacuated after the company warned there was a risk of explosions and fire.
During heavy rainfall from Hurricane Harvey, the complex lost the ability to refrigerate chemical compounds that need to be kept cool.
In an earlier statement, Arkema said: “At approximately 2am CDT [07:00 GMT], we were notified by the Harris County Emergency Operations Center of two explosions and black smoke coming from the Arkema Inc plant in Crosby, Texas.
“We want local residents to be aware that product is stored in multiple locations on the site, and a threat of additional explosion remains.
“Please do not return to the area within the evacuation zone until local emergency response authorities announce it is safe to do so.”
I also just read that the city of Beaumont has lost its water supply. Not safe to drink.
I watched Trump’s speech in Missouri, not because I was interested in what he had to say about tax cuts (another of his agenda items that is likely DOA), but because I wanted to see if he had anything to say about the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. That is the name given to President Obama’s executive order that protects young undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children, otherwise known as DREAMers. He didn’t address the issue.
There is a reason why many people have been suggesting that an announcement about that program is imminent. A federal court in Texas halted a similar program for parents of childhood arrivals to the U.S. (DAPA), but the case is ongoing. Litigants have said that if Trump doesn’t halt the DACA program before September 5th, they would add it to the court challenge on DAPA. At that point, the administration would have to decide whether or not to defend DACA in court—a responsibility that would be up to AG Sessions.

Yo, VC! Have been composing an email to you in my head for 10 days. Hope one day soon, it finds its way across the interwebz to your inbox!! 🙏🏻🎶🔜⚜️🇨🇦

Thanks NW. Trump and his family need a lesson in public service, instead of fake photo-ops.
That’s My President! Would vote for him everyday if they let us.
Houston is the 4th largest city in America. And, it has been turned into one big lake.
I am stunned.
I’m not surprised. We almost lost another major American city the last time a Republican occupied the White House.
I know how that feels. I was in Washington state in January 1992 for two weeks. It rained for almost 2 weeks and when the sun came out the last few days there….ALL the folks from California stood up like these folks and was so glad to see the sky and the sun.

But of course he did.
See what they’re doing?
Hello to all!
Once again, proving that this cabinet was chosen expressly to destroy from within…and funnel funds to their rich friends when the opportunities arise.
Easier take. If his mouth is moving, he’s lying.
Saw this on Maddow last night.
Their back up
and
the back up to the back up plan
HAVE FAILED
That’s why they’ve evacuated.

Ivanka you mean @realDonaldTrump who stood up for Nazis, who hate people like your husband.
It doesn’t. They don’t give a dang about you or other normal, working class Americans.
Well, well
I love that sign…..”IMPEACH THE ORANGE IDIOT”.
That video gives me hope that even White older American voters are seeing Trump for exactly who he is.
He’s such a great humanitarian:
More on east Texas oil refineries (see upthread on the “very possible explosion” at one).
Remember this from May?
(FUBAR is in the background of the middle photo on the right side.)
Why does this administration HIDE everything???
This is a GREAT town hall!!
Love her!
Seriously, SHE IS AMAZING. A great town hall that illustrated her deep intelligence, her humor and wit, and her amazing talent for bringing people together. She is the STRENGTH we need right now!!
INDEED!
Oh, my

And we can be pretty sure the jackets described here were emblazoned with “CNN.”
GA, Arapaho. Yes, I saw Doc Bob’s Tweet yesterday.
Thanks for these Tweets you posted too.

Watching Maxine Waters on MSNBC this evening brought a smile to my face. Loved hearing her say that she’s “excited” about the investigation surrounding PP. LOL.
Stay safe Texas …
one day ….. one day … we will smile again when that scumbag and his Team Treason are no longer in power
FACT …..
And, btw, if Trump nukes NK, the Chinese needn’t fire a single shot to crush the US. All they have to do is halt credit to the US +/- demand cash for the Federal Bonds they hold.

Good thread on how Trump has pulverized our relationship with Mexico. Also, EPN leaves for a state visit to China next week.
