Here we go again folks. People refuse to learn the lessons of the past, refuse to be pro-active and make an action plan, thinking that the gubmint will save us all, and now you got possibly hundreds of people trapped with flood waters rising. This is what happens when you build below sea level.

The Democrats are going have to get creative to blame this on Trump. They will do it, nonetheless.

Ending government-subsidized flood insurance would help with that.

PING!

I don't think blaming Trump is gonna work.

What the Democrats should have done, is simply heeded the old saying:

The sad part is, those people all were told to stay in their homes till the authorities told them to. 🤬

"This is what happens when you build below sea level."

LaPlace is above sea level. Your opinion and stupidity is what happens when you don't know what you are talking about.

I saw a tweet of someone pleading for help for her grandparents.

Like anyone can be out in this weather to evacuate people who chose to stay.

I don’t get why if they realize it’s so dangerous for her grandparents, that they don’t realize that it’s dangerous for rescue personnel as well.

What a selfish mindset.

Why on earth do people listen to the government at this point?

Have we really raised a generation of people who cannot think for themselves?

It’s been no secret that Ida was on its way and going to be bad. Think for yourself folks.

Grab your valuables and leave.

Leave BEFORE it hits.

Don’t wait until you’re in the teeth of the storm to realize you should have gotten out.

The rest of NOLA is below sea level, smart ass. I wasn’t specifically referring to LaPlace, but to NOLA as a whole.
