Why Is Harvey Not A ‘Katrina’ For The Press?

It has all the necessary elements to serve as the perfect political whipping post; a large diverse urban community struck by a natural disaster, people of social economic backgrounds stranded in high water, a new Republican President at odds with the media, a governor from the wrong party from a state that didn’t elect the anointed candidate.

So why is it the only scandal they tried to gin up was Pumpsgate, about the first lady’s footwear that immediately fell flat? They’re not seriously going to give Trump an Obama Era like pass on this one, are they?

  1. “people of social economic backgrounds…”

    WTF does this mean?

    Don’t do this. This is the high speed, say anything, bullshit the know nothing news talking heads spew when they have nothing to say.

    Have a point. Express it in coherent words. Set yourself apart from the spew we get from the nauseating MSM.

    Harsh? Yeah. You wanna’ fight the fuckery, learn some fire discipline. Write in a manner history can quote and not make you appear illiterate.

    Dr. Tar, I’m not sure this is you or a source you are quoting. If you ARE quoting, you sometimes lack attribution. If this is you, spend ten seconds before you save and look at your submission. Your message is wonderful and needs to be spread. Make it worthy of a quote two hundred years from now. Because right now is going to be studied intensely if written language still exists.

  2. From the last paragraph of the article
    “Republicans have embraced Trump, an aspiring strongman, as president, and averted their eyes from his most overt abuses of power, like the Arpaio pardon.”

    Really? You bastards won’t quit. I did love the callout list of convicts released by slick willy and obolo.

  3. The media isn’t going after Trump on Harvey because unlike Bush, Trump will fight back. Bush spent eight years being hammered by the press with lies, half-truths, innuendo and basic yellow journalism and he never fought back or denied anything. In fact I gather he stopped Cheney from defending either him or his administration. He thought that the Presidency was supposed to be above that sort of fight. Well, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight I think one of the big reasons Obama got in was because after hearing the media hammer Bush year after year without any pushback they began to believe a lot of the crap being said about him. Bush was a good wartime President, the type America needed at the time but because of his failure to fight back he gave the Dems the edge they needed. Katrina is a sparkling example of this.

  4. I’m sorry, I’m being an ass. Got a friend, Vern, back side of 80 years old on the close side of East Houston I can’t reach since last friday. I’m worried shitless harm has come to him. He and Bumper (the dog) have been special to me for some years now.

    Can you guys offer up a prayer for Vern? I’d really appreciate that.

  5. Everyone in America now knows the MSM is dishonest, rotten to the core, and in bed with all criminals democrat. The MSM wouldn’t dare do to Trump what they did to Bush. Bush sat back and took it. Trump is on the offensive and the left knows we’re on to them. The right media is growing, the left media is nose diving.

  6. The Media Have Tried To Screw Trump , Since Day One and They’ve Been as Obvious As The ” Oz Flying Monkeys ” ! Things Are Way Too Smooth for Them,
    People Might Start to See That One Racial Group ( Katrina ) Can’t Organize And Work as a Team Efficiantly , And The Other Racial Group ( Harvey ) Is Beyond Efficient and The Victims Come Back And Save Lives at Their Expense !
    The Media Just Wanted to Get Back To Fake Reality, Before They Became Conservatives ! Bottom Line They’re Pissed Off At Harvey, So Much Death and Misfortune Was Curtailed By White People !
