Residents Evacuate As Hurricane Laura Strengthens To Take Aim At Gulf Coast | Craig Melvin | MSNBC
Let’s see if Trump handles this emergency as badly as the last hurricanes and the pandemic. Get out the sharpie!
@Andre Littleton I don’t know why you people, including olsenmcknight, spend so much time trying to save americans from themselves. Just let them believe in their insane alternative realities. Clearly americans don’t want to change for the better, so all of your hard work will be wasted on nothing. They’re just going to dismiss you as fake news or russian bots like they do for anything that doesn’t stroke their egos. Been that way for decades. Don’t waste your time cause there is no redemption for such a sad bunch.
Btw america, good luck combating trumps lies and misinformation, when you’re all more than okay doing the same lies and misinformation to scapegoat blame and pat yourselves on the back. The irony of america and americans will never cease to amaze me.
@Olsen McKnight i wouldn’t complain about it if i were you. This is a good thing. Trump is like karma and americans deserve him. Maybe for once americans will get a taste of their own medicine
Anyone want to buy a roll of paper towels?

Wow, that went to Category 4 overnight, that’s scary.
Benjamin Miiller Water temperature determines storm strength.
Might reach cat 5 right before landfall like Michael did in 2018.
Shhh… government doesn’t want to acknowledge what you are proposing… climate change doesn’t exist. 🤫
Hoax.. leftie Fake News
@DaughterZion Ros you evangelicals need to start taking science more serious, your logic that everything is based on the sins of man is just as bad as voodoo.
Look at the soon to be islands in the Louisiana keys. Most of those people will have little or nothing to come back to. The Louisiana coast has been disappearing for many, many decades. This will just be a larger permanent erosion event.
Will this be the wettest in terms of water??
Gotta love Trumpland…. billions to spend on a wall and bugger all for decent tidal flood defences.
Feds got their paper towels ready to go?
Maybe the un-exploited throwing arms of the Big Ten college quarterbacks would come in handy, they’ve nothing better to do.
Send trump he loves throwing paper towels at suffering people, oh I forgot he has his clown show to attend and do what he does best…perform and lie for his sheep.

Where is sharpie donnie when you need him
💚💟
This is a Perfect Storm brewing. Imagine being hit with tRumps Covid-45 Virus & then being slammed with not 1 but 2 hurricanes one right after the other all at the same time! I shudder to contemplate tRumps incompetence dealing with one crisis at a time let alone 3 or more back to back.
No. No. Did you forget that we’re now in a recession & our unemployment rate is 10.2. Give Trump proper credit. He’s already not dealing with three crises: COVID-19, unemployment, and recession with new homelessness. Oh, I get it. You mean Crisis that’s not of his making. My bad. You’re right 3, not 5.
@bdhu2001 Crisis upon Crisis! Calamity pilled upon calamity & a never ending scandal upon salacious scandal. Donald tRump is a One Man Demolition Crew rolled up into a fat body!
It’s going to be ugly.
Is this their God’s wrath on the Southern States for the evil that is being done by the Evangelicals?
@bdhu2001 Actual unemployed is still over 26.5million, or 17.6%
I remember tRumps weak Puerto Rican Hurricane Maria response where 3500 Puerto Ricans needlessly died due to tRumps incompetence. Do you?
Unfortunately, American citizens living in Puerto Rico are not able to vote in every presidential election.
Ofcourse, i lived it!😰😰
@Rioters Aren’t Protesters not the 1st time, we have been hit by over 5 hurricanes!
💓💕💝💝
My thoughts and prayers for peoples safety .
@Guy North You’re making an assumption about people who pray. I follow Christ, not the POTUS, no matter who that may be. 45 doesn’t align with my values so I am in no way a “trumpster” and you don’t know that the original poster is, either. I agree with you that people need to make sound decsisions about where to live, etc., but we will pray for whomever we please, your approval not needed.

Sharpie on stand by

Fkd up year
IN 100 YEARS A 25 MILE SWATH OF THE GULF COAST WILL BE UNDERWATER…CLIMATE CRISIS DENIERS BUY PROPERTY ON THE GULF COAST.
In a hundred years I’ll pick up my beach blanket and move up the hill.
@Jeff Gibson IF YOU BELIEVE,AS I DO, IN REINCARCERATION I BET YOU WILL.
@Richard Conner I only believe in reincarceration for repeat criminals.
@Jeff Gibson ITS OUR DESIRES:MONEY,FAME THE CONNECTION,S TO PEOPLE PLACES & THINGS THAT ARE BURIED IN OUR SUBCONSCIOUS MINDS MAKE US FEEL COMPELLED TO RETURN TO EARTH.
THE WAY TO THE TIMELESS REIGONS IS BY WIPING THE SLATE CLEAN OF ALL KARMAS TO EARTH THAT GIVES ONE A REPRIEVE FROM THE EARTH PLANE.

If these southern states were blue, trump would be tweeting they deserve the crap weather because they’re governed by Democrats who don’t like him. Being red though, he’ll make sure they get double the number of paper towels Puerto Rico got.
Exactly Wallace
Nope, he’ll do all he can to funnel as much FEMA aid as he can to those red led States, then all his trumptardian supporters that own businesses can get the govts to streamline the selection process so they get all the rebuilding funds and can kick a % to Trump through his re-election fund and the RNC. That’s why he tried so hard last time to make ppl believe the sharpie chart he drew Just business as usual.
*Slow clap* Excellent response, Fred. True to your wit.
Did Dotard even acknowledge the fire that is raging in California yet?
💗💝😘💟
Waiting for the frogs and locust swarms.

Aliens, you forgot Aliens, they’re due in December
💝💘💖😍
Where is Bunker Boy Trump and his Sharpie pen when u need him? Oh yeah. Lying at the rnc
There is no storm… Don’t believe the Fake News!

Prayers to the true americans .. those against the racist dictator in chief
Yep… We all know how well prayers work…
💛💕💘🍑
💓💋🖤
And mother nature will once again prove that no lives matter.
Bull
This should be a teaching experience for Americans just like the pandemic, the rallies, the police shootings, the shootings…. that things need to change in order to save human life and the planet. Americans keep on getting smacked in the face with tragedy after tragedy but not everyone wants to listen!
America is incredibly self centred, well until a natural disaster happens then they go right back to being selfish again! Things could be so much different, they could be better but Americans are too afraid of change that would be good for them. I truly hope everyone sees that there’s a fascist in the White House and if he’s not voted out things are just going to get worse from here on out. What’s left of democracy in America will be gone forever. America is on the edge and I’m afraid not enough people are seeing the true reality of what’s going on! Stay safe and healthy everyone!
@Olive Greenpants a bull on steroids…
😘💘💘
😘🍑💜
May God help them all, as an islander (Puerto Rico) i know what to expect.

Hoping all our neighbors to the South will stay safe during this hurricane.
Praying for safety to everyone affected by Hurricane Laura. God keep you safe. 🙏
