Hope they are all ok.

But on another note, when disasters happened like this under Bush, the Left press would blame Bush and his policies for the failure, call for an investigation into Bush’s spending for dams, and cry out for the head of the Federal agency who’s job it is to oversee dams

Prayers up.

Oh, we have plenty of money to educate and medicate illegals, and to bribe the gimme-class to vote for Demoncraps - but we don’t have money to fix our aging, crumbling vital infrastructure.

This was just yesterday. Most of the week was like this over there. That fat red stripe at the end of the sequence was probably the last straw. That thing sucked up all the (considerable) energy south of I-80/88 and raised hell until 7:00 this morning.

It's OK, it's mostly only white people. You know, the "Haves".

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

I was surprised to learn that the majority of the dams in the US are privately owned. The Lake Delhi Dam is owned by the Lake Delhi Recreational Association.

Where’s FNC drama Queen Shep Smith whining about how the federal government isn’t doing more and how 0bama (peace be upon him) doesn’t care about rural white people? Oh yeah, Shep don’t care either...
