We have to split up!

[LV426]

Please reread your own post when your head clears, ma'm.

Maybe you should stop sloppily rushing through posts because nothing I said there is inconsistent with what I've said before.

You didn't even know that local levy boards are responsible for the levies until I told you that.

You stupidly blamed the mayor and governor for it, but the fact is that you didn't even know who was responsible for what in LA.

You're just being an extremist by polarizing bOtHsIdEs because lazy binary thinking is the best we can hope for from you. Then you stretch and exaggerate the failures of the levies in LA to something else when, had the levies been maintained according to the recommendations of the ACoE, NO probably wouldn't have flooded...

...just like had Bush followed the recommendations of Clinton's transition team, Richard Clarke, and the August PDB from our IC, 9/11 probably wouldn't have happened...

...just like had Texas followed the recommendations for their power grid and systems, the current blackout and disaster probably wouldn't have happened...

...just like had Conservatives followed the recommendations for COVID, the current pandemic probably wouldn't have happened...

So in every case, the failure is leadership, not technology.

All we have to do is simply sit 22 out. Let them have it. ALL OF IT. By the time its all over the people will BEG US to take it back. Be patient.

Biden is fixing the Trump mess as Dems always do. We have 2 years to get the place working better. It cannot go worse. A disastrous economy and an insurrection are not siren calls to voters.

Sooooo......if Bush was warned and Bush was President when it happened, then it's all his fault, right?

It's Bush's fault 9/11 happened...he was too lazy, too disinterested, or he simply wanted OBL to attack, and that's why he ignored all the warnings and didn't take the threat seriously.

Republican Presidents have a habit of not taking things seriously...I believe that is baked into the Conservative ideology.

So why do you give the Democrat Governor and NOLA Mayor a free pass?

Who said I'm giving them a free pass? They fucked up on other things, but levy maintenance and management was not one of their responsibilities.

So this is just like Cuomo and the nursing homes...had Conservatives not fucked up so badly first, there wouldn't have been bad decisions or fuckups subsequently made by others.

The root of the problem is what should be addressed, not the consequences of the problem.

That's like treating the symptoms of a disease, but choosing to avoid a cure.

He better get fucking moving on it because as it stands now, Republicans have done more for COVID relief under Trump than Democrats have under Biden.

$2K checks for every man, woman, and child now, and then recurring every month until we hit 99% vaccinations.

You can pay for it by repealing the Russia Tax Cut from 2018, that only plunged our economy into a recession.

I agree. We have to split up. I don't like these people. Yuck. Go start a country composed of the dumber half of all white people using a fascist model.
I'll enjoy seeing how you get on without us.

It's amazing that you post three posts to my one if you think I'm so stupid and ill-informed. What's the attraction?

Be honest. I'm curious.

Well, I mean...(gestures to your ignorance about levies on this thread)

So how about you prove to us that you're not full of shit and maybe we'll treat you like you're not full of shit? Sound fair?

Bush took office January 2001. 9/11 happened 8 months later. Who is responsible?

She didn’t ignore her intel people begging her to believe a hurricane was coming


She didn’t treat her top terror expert like a lying criminal who needed to be fired


Bush refused to believe Richard Clarke the nations top intel guy when Bush took office

Go look him up and read about how he was treated by Bush when Clarke was trying to teach him about Ossama bin Ladin and AQ


Bush kept telling Clarke that it was Clinton crap and to shut up about it


The Republican Party had lied to its self about Clinton so much they thought Obl and AQ WERE WAG THE DOG LIES


There was also John O’Neill who kept trying to warm them

He was pushed out of his job too


He left and took a new job as security for the twin towers

He died on 911

 

[Dutch Uncle]

She didn’t ignore her intel people begging her to believe a hurricane was coming

Yet people died due to lack of preparation on her watch just like Bush's.

Too bad Bill was more focused upon his zipper to take out al-Qaeda when he had the chance.

Not possible, as he is clearly full of shit on everything he says. I mean every post of his, 90% chance it contains a lie.

Make your case it was her fault


She was handed an already existing massive problem

It’s was not her

That’s crap

 

[cordeela]

The Clintons are the vilest pile of rotten scum ever to hold office in US history. Rape - sexual abuse - theft - corruption - fraud - all out there, proven.
Obumma ?? I seriously can not recall a single thing he did. Its as if occupation of the Oval Office jumped straight from Bush to Mr Trump.
Its especially weird given his colour.

Blanco took office in 2004

Then two hurricanes hit in 2005

Then bush ignored then needs of the state while republicans demonized the black people who needed help as criminals


Then jindal got elected and mocked Washington state for monitoring a volcano that erupted shortly after


The republicans hate people and don’t care what happens to them

In Augusta of 05 two hurricanes hit her state


She and her state were ignored by Bush


Why did they not get help until it became a political embarrassment to Bush


The republicans in control didn’t care because those black peoples would never vote Republican anyway


So now you trash this dead woman for what Racist Republicans failed to do

The improvements needed were infrastructure of a major port city


The Feds failed them


Remember that spate of bridge collapses under Bush


The Republican Party has been thwarting infrastructure building for decades

Disagreed it's all the Fed's fault. The fucking morons built a city below sea level in a hurricane zone.

 

[evince]

Not one fucking American port city has ever redone their infrastructure without federal funds


It’s stupid to pretend she should have fixed that port city’s infrastructure in 20 months

She didn’t build that city dumb fuck


Quit lying about this dead woman

Not my problem. LOL

Same for GW. Bill Clinton failed us exactly as you are claiming the system failed NOLA.

Not disagreeing the Federal response was fucked up. It was. I'm just saying the State fucked itself for decades before Katrina ever happened. It was predicted years before Katrina that a square hit by a strong hurricane on NOLA would be a disaster. Whose fault is it for not taking the warnings seriously?

For years, Ivor van Heerden, a hurricane expert at Louisiana State University, saw a tragedy coming. Since 2001, he and colleagues had been generating computer models of how a major storm could inundate New Orleans. He and his team sought tenaciously—at times desperately—to have their warnings heeded by government officials. In these interviews, conducted both 10 months before and then soon after Katrina hit, van Heerden expresses some of his worst fears, frustrations, and regrets.
