Meteorologist warns Hurricane Laura is not a storm to mess with
Texan here. Thoughts to everyone in the direct path. Get out before it’s too late. We can’t catch a break.
Brady Simmons Texans like cowboy hats and beer. It’s a obvious.
Certainly keeping those in the path of this storm in my thoughts and prayers along with the animals & pets this storm looks severe & really dangerous. It’s like what else more can this year bring…💔🙏🏾⛈

@trus ¿ Only three cat 5 hurricanes have made landfall in the USA in the past 80 or mores years, if I recall. That`s what Trump meant. They`re exceptionally rare.

@BAN EVERYTHING! its not democratic problem it’s a human problem and with masks we could of stop te spread of covid
@jay double U Gee, I wonder why I can`t find any proof of Trump making schools pay fines? Why do you loons keep lying about Trump? Nothing any of you say is true!
@BAN EVERYTHING! https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/08/us/politics/trump-schools-reopening.html
@BAN EVERYTHING! why so serious
Sure glad our President took 25 billion from FEMA emergency money right before hurricane season.
@Godfrey Daniel
Done with this thread. And done with your ongoing harassment. Want nothing to do with you. Move on. Spam someone else with your covert hostility.
@Godfrey Daniel No one has the right to riot.
The Democrat leadership betrayed liberal values a long time ago, when they chose to win at all costs and discarded morality. When the ends justifies the means, you have become a fascist. Stay true to your values and reject what they have become, or admit to yourself that you are now a fascist.
@Insomnia Pictures – Thank you for your clear and concise illustration that you have no idea of what the word “fascist” means…
@Godfrey Daniel Okay, you contradicting me does not make me wrong and you right. Socialists are fascists. The word Nazi literally means National Socialism. I’m published on WW II history, so I think I have a fair understanding of the issue.
Pff..no worries, president sharpie will just break out a map and draw a new path…hahaha
Brilliant 😂🤣😂
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
@John Moh Blaxta Everytime I see this comment I just have to like it. That theory gives me Black Mirror Twilight Zone Outer Limits kind of feelings if that makes any sense
@Rickorzen bruh stop copying and pasting that comment.
Trump….”like the virus, the hurricane will just disappear”!
Nuke it ,that will fix it 🤔wait that was stable genius Trump 🙄.
👉🤪
@Matt O’Byrne Like I said, the video is literally heavily edited as you can see from the dislikes and their comments disabled. Plus Biden called Trump a xenophobic for banning travels from Europe and Asia, how is he gonna do any better than Trump does?
And you always think that Trump has worse dementia than Biden is when you only search for Trump’s bad side but never did on Biden side.
Look, I’m a Bernie supporter but I don’t think that I would be voting for Joe Biden as he’s clearly way worse than Trump is when you actually do research on him equally with Trump. The democrats loves war mongers like Obama and Biden when they invaded Libya and Syria which let to millions of deaths. No wonder they backstab Bernie Sanders who’s an anti war and rigged the votes to make Biden the democratic nominee. I find it unbelievable that a racist, corrupt and war monger person who also has dementia, has way more supporters than an intellectual person like Bernie Sanders.
@Green Walrus Still a Cat 1
@Rickorzen kiddo that clip clearly shows Trump calling covi19 “their new hoax” that is what Trump said like it or not. Even fox reported on that. The video isn’t altered in anyway to make Trump say that. I even watched the rally with me wife when he said it and that clip shows verbatim what Trump said. I’m not going to argue with you on wether or not Trump is racist or xenophobic when again there is tons of supporting evidence. I’m also a mixed race immigrant with mixed race children and all of us have experienced xenophobic and racist comments from idiots wearing maga gear 🤔. We had zero issue with that under Obama 🤔. Trump incites and encourages racial divide in this country. Trump did the same when he came Ireland and did the interview with Leo Varadkar, the Taoiseach at the time, an he brought the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland saying it was a good thing 😂. Obviously Trump doesn’t know his history or even understand what side of that border he was sitting on 😂😂😂. There’s the example of Trump telling the congresswomen of color to back where they came from, another example of blatant racism and xenophobia 🤔.
I fail to see how you could support Sanders and Trump. Those are two very opposing political views and idealogy. Sanders is progressive while Trump is wildly regressive. Trump is a proven pathological lair with a long history of serial fraud. Trump has been found liable in 2 cases of fraud since taking office. The first was defrauding his own charity which is why he and his kids are banned from opening or operating any non-profit in this country. The second time was when Trump University was deemed a fraudulent entity and Trump was ordered to close it down and pay $25,000,000 in restitutions to the victims of his scam. Trump literally opened a school for the sole purpose of scamming the students. Those aren’t the actions of a man concerned with law and order. Those are the actions of man that openly encourages and facilitates corruption and crime.
@Rickorzen There is no point giving you trumpeters the link to ANYTHING. All you ever do is read the bits that fit in with your arguments. Mentally cut and paste the rest, so that it sounds to you, like the the things you wanna hear and believe. Then throw out the rest. All so that you can go back in and scream more paranoid, cultist poison at people. Who are actually trying to get their points across. Its a very one sided argument, that youre feeding into. And I’m beginning to see a lot of non Americans, that are so tired of the crap. That they are hoping the hurricane kills the whole dam lot of you. That is really sad.
Prayers to all in that region. May God be with you.
I’m so sad for people who have to endure these kinds of storms.
Pray for what and to which God? The same God that allows for this hurricane to be happening? The same God that allowed for the hurricane Katrina to happen? The same God that allowed for the deadly tsunami in Asia? And for the deadly coronavirus to kill half a million people all over the world??
These kinds of storms have been happening in this part of the world for thousands of years. If you live there you’d know they happen this time of the year. I would think they’d know what to do by now.
I look forward to Trump trying to trade Louisiana for Greenland after this.
@Bernadette Van der Ploeg Its just everything is a mess now. And Trump is the worst.
Trumps not trading LA. because it’s a red state he’ll pimp out PR. for Greenland.
@SPZ Aruba Yet it’s one of the most richest states in the country moron they bail poor red states out like the ones in the south.

CNN BREAKING NEWS … Trump starts Hurricane with Russian weather machine.
skaetur1 two hurricanes with a corona!
Guys please Evacuate. This storm is historic in so many way. 15-20 foot surges are impossible to survive. 10 foot of water level rises reaching 40 miles inland. 145 mph winds. You need to get out while you can. Just note. Just 8 feet can flood the first floor. So you better get out. Think this storm as Rita or Ike not Harvey. Harvey was mainly a rain event. This is more of a wind and surge event. Be very careful and evacuate. Meteorologist and government officials aren’t joking when they say get out. When they say you need to evacuate. YOU HAVE TO EVACUATE. 20 feet of water is unsurvival.
So, what’s your point?
@northerniltree Evacuate?
northerniltree 🤦🏾♀️
northerniltree my point was a evacuate so people don’t die
Massive storm heading toward Texas, but the republiklans have a party to go to, So IT IS WHAT IT IS.
Administration says FEMA is broke…Good luck and GOD Bless Texas..The republiklans are a putting on a Modern day tale oh Rome burnt and Nero partied
what the heck is this comment? we’re busy talking about hurricane laura, not whether republicans are bad or not
@The7531 it’s spelled republiklans. And it’s going to be up to them to handle this so yeah…its relevant.
The7531 when whites try and control the narrative while avoiding the obvious it’s pure racism
@Darrell Brown Poor you! Maybe you should move to Zimbabwe?
UPDATE: Trump lashes out and blames the NBA.
GET WOKE GO BROKE.
He’s is president Karen
NBA is trash who cares
BLM Duh

CNN BREAKING NEWS … Trump starts Hurricane with Russian weather machine.
its a good thing we have FEMA funding….oh wait…
@Next up Actually they will recover
@BAN EVERYTHING! #Trump2020 #JoeBidenForPrison
We wouldn’t want our death camps poorly funded.
“My conversation with a FEMA administrator yesterday led me to believe that we’re not going to have any challenges,” Gov. John Bel Edwards said at a news conference Monday. “We anticipate that the current fund balance will be sufficient for us here in Louisiana.”
Edwards noted that in March, Congress added $45 billion for coronavirus relief. That still leaves $25 billion for Laura and other natural disasters, he added.
Senator Bill Cassidy seconded Edwards’ confidence Monday, even wildfires in California’s Bay Area add another item to the federal agency’s to-do list.
“That’s what the fund is there for,” said Cassidy, noting that Congress could also boost disaster funding in its upcoming budget. “I do think there will be a so-called disaster supplemental to help take care of these issues.”
@BAN EVERYTHING! I appreciate your quotes and very much hear your frustration (other comment above). I acknowledge that very little of that has filtered into my news feed.
Will you, in turn, hear the frustration of those concerned about a president who appears to be trying to attack fundamental tenets of democracy?
Just the thought of the hurricane causing damage to those people when Trump has taken the FEMA hurricane relief money, breaks my heart for those people.
@MoreCowbell Trump is losing. Period.
@Don b and his supporters dont see how he is the one dividing the country. He openly said he dont want to help the states that didnt vote for him. And Puerto Rico never got the full help they needed after the hurricane years ago because he dont like Hispanic people
@Don b Louisiana has a democrat governor and the majority the people in South Louisiana are democrats and minorities. I remember when you evil leftists cheered when Houston flooded…too hated-filled and ignorant to know it`s the most multicultural democrat city in Texas. Thank God for president Trump. He lured you evil rats out into the light and you revealed your true colors for all the world to see.
@Jovon R. Puerto Rico got plenty of help. They just didn`t pass out supplies to those who needed them. Two years later and the news reported the supplies were rotting in warehouses. What? CNN didn`t TELL you? Shocking!
@BAN EVERYTHING! did you ever think the supplies didn’t get to where they needed because the roads was damaged and impassable. No power for the gas pumps for trucks to even get moving however no roads for the trucks to drive on. Yes cnn told me that and some. So what help did he send pass supplies. None. No help to distribute the supplies but trump complained the entire time
“were going to build a wall to keep these illegal hurricanes out and King Neptune and Atlantis will pay for it” – trump
After they rake the forests to prevent fires!!!
Thats hilarious lol.
😂😂😂
They NEED to build the wall at the Mississippi. It’s prevent flooding. They need to stock up on generators to pump out the water back into the Mississippi. The Mississippi needs dredging!!
2020 just keeps giving and giving and giving!
Unreal. I turn 60 in two days, I can tell people with out hesitation, this year is far beyond normal.
2020 gives us a glimpse of another threat… An EMP or a CME possible
@LoLYouLose Rather a dementia patient than a dictator!
@Vet On The Verge That is a very good description and quite accurate..
@Vet On The Verge But then again that pre teen “Im Rubber, You’re glue” style of rhetoric is very effective. I mean who is better at arguing and irrational Position than a child?
@Razian Amira Damn you just had to go and Troll 2020 😐
Now 2020 is gonna swat us.
Dear 2020 I do not know this dude, I didn’t like his comment, Im sure he’s a good guy an all but …I liked Your Instagram pick of Hurricane laura 2020. And I follow your riots in Facebook live.
We good 2020?
“Unsurvivable”😳 God bless everyone.
@Da Squirrel Oh, you’re one of those atheists.
@Da Squirrel could be that God is dishing out judgement on an unholy and unrepentant world. And comments like yours would see it multiplied
Karma for republican
CNN BREAKING NEWS … Trump starts Hurricane with Russian weather machine.
Jake Tapper: “Is that fair?”
How can one possibly argue against making things fair?
I CAN!
I believe too much pursuit of fairness on the LEFT and the RIGHT is a cancer.
Some babies die on their first day and some people live 36500 days. Is that fair? No. Can we make it fair? We would have to kill EVERYONE.
Is it fair that MANY want to watch the NBA and FEW want to watch the WNBA? No. Do we pass a law forcing people to watch the WNBA? No.
Is it fair that some people’s economic worth is so much more than others? No. Should we pass laws to make sure that everyone is paid the same? No. Generally we know how much of a contributor someone is by how much people are willing to pay them. So people should get paid what the market will pay them?
Is it fair that we take some resources to give to people who are not as able to contribute? No. Should we let them die? No.
Life is not fair. Get used to it. — Bill Gates
