It's never helped before, but I suppose there's a first time for everything.

Was actually talking about 6 helicopters, something like 8 coast guard boats and everything they'd asked for. More assets available if needed, or requested? What is he waiting for? I don't understand. A formal request? I'm hearing thousands are trapped in just one small neighborhood and he's not sending in more help yet?

I'm so sorry for everyone there.

Hmmm, should I believe the chronic liars this time or not? Maybe they're just bouncing around with their "alternative facts" in their alternate reality as usual. ???

It just doesn't seem like the Governor (it's Abbott, right?) has a clue about what is actually happening right there in his state.

It's so reminiscent of Katrina. All he needs to do is watch CNN, or other cable shows, like the rest of the world. But he appears to be in his own little bubble.

The maggot President doesn't seem to give a shit at all.
