I have been told by a reliable source that he has pics of Trump on that levee last night with a shovel digging a breach in it. 🙄…….

I hope Joke™️ gets blamed for any deaths in NOLA. The left tried to bring down Bush over Katrina 16 years ago, so turnabout is fair play.

Are you kidding!?
The press didn’t protect the Kennedy clan or FDR as much as they are protecting China Joe. Barack the Usurper wasn’t protected like China Joe.
If any dem takes the fall it will be some low level types in Louisiana. The mayor probably.

The levee system performed way above my expectations.

With .gov you have to figure there were a bunch of affirmative action types combined with no show jobs (not to mention kickbacks) on any sizable project.

I heard it was a white, renegade Navy Seal UDT wearing MAGA insignia.

The truth is out there.

...because José Xiden hates Black people?

Just wondering if the same standards still apply.

This one will be downplayed. Any deaths will be blamed on global warming. Lies will be invented and hyped, all so that no one makes the connection: “Ida/Biden.” (Say it a few times).

There is no Republican to blame! The way it works is that for any disaster, you search up the chain of command until you reach a Republican, and you stop there, blaming the Republican for it all.

There is no way that sleepy joe is going to get ANY blame for this. Just as they are not blaming him for the spread of covid. Just as they give him a free pass for not having news conferences on the latest about covid. Just as they gave him a free pass for getting Americans killed in Kabul.

No truer words have been written.

Any claims of whitey blowing up the levies to flood black areas as there was claimed during Katrina?

The blame game is so easy...it was global cooling....no global warming...no climate change....ah if we had just lined up all the unvaxxed and shot them the hurricane would never have happened....

Local guy owns a business that has a levee running from one end of his building. In high water, his back wall essentially becomes part of the levee. I was down there with a small crowd, watching the water level. It was just beginning to trickle down where the building met the levee, and this guy took a shovel and started digging a hole in the top of the levee, and pitching the dirt into the breach. He was absolutely amazed when he looked down and saw water rising in the hole he was digging.
