GODS punishment??

[ABikerSailor]

I would say Harvey is God's punishment for ignoring global climate change.

And why would God punish us for ignoring a fraud?

And how did the Obama administration ignore it?

Obama didn't ignore it but Texas says it's a fraud. The City of Houston in particular has no zoning bylaws which contributed hugely to the scope of the disaster. Common sense things like not building on a flood plain or having a drainage plan. Things that impugned on the "freedom" of land owners to do whatever they wanted to the property and pray they don't get hit by a hurricane.

A lot of construction was done in Houston which impeded drainage and blocked natural forms of drainage which could have mitigated some of the damage. That didn't work out too well for them did it?

I'm not saying the floods could have been prevented. Given the amount of rain that fell, Houston was going to flood in any event. But better city planning could have mitigated this catastrophe and possibly saved some lives.

Well said. Yes, I've been watching the news talk about how Houston doesn't have any kind of building codes or zoning laws, so that people who decide to build can do just about anything they want because there are no regulations to tell them how they should build on their property.

Guess regulations are kinda useful, eh? If they had built in proper drainage, there might have only been a couple thousand housed destroyed rather than the over 40,000 homes and over 21 dead.

Trump hasn't accomplished anything notable yet. He's not delivered on anything he campaigned on, not even with his own party in control:



1. Heath care

2. A wall

3. Tax cuts



But in this case, that's a good thing.



But hey, good luck with that tax cut for the rich thingy while "self reliant" Texas asks the federal govt. for $125 billion while it has no state income tax and low sales and gas taxes. In other words, they want blue states to pay for their disaster, while their own piece of shit Congress critters voted NO on aid for NY/NJ after hurricane Sandy. The Bible thumpers said that hurricane was God's punishment for allowing gay rights and abortions. What's their bullshit excuse now?



FUCK Ted Cruz.

That "tax cut for the rich thingy" is actually tax reform to level the playing field so you are fucked a little bit less in the ass by the rich.

 

[g5000]

Trump has done more good in seven months than Bush and Obama did in 16 years.

And if you don't bleev that, just ask Trump!

. You Demon-crats are gonna find yourselves struggling to become relevant again after all that you have done. Your hatred for a president has led you all to act completely stupid about alot of very important issues. Shame on you liberals, shame on you.

And you all loved Obama What goes around comes around

Sorry bub, O screwed this country out of 10 trillion.

BS ,,,,Here's your 11 trillion
When President Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) slumped to 7,949.09, the lowest inaugural performance for the Dow since its creation. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq took similar hits, dropping 5.3 and 5.8 percent, respectively, and fourth quarter earnings reports were on track to drop more than 20 percent over the previous year's figures. Bank stocks in particular were hit quite hard, with the sector in general declining by 30 percent. Bank of America Corp. dropped 29 percent, and Citigroup Inc. sank a comparatively gentle 20 percent.

And where was it when Obama left office? Just shy of 20,000.

Two and a half times higher.

You're welcome.

Trump's gonna have to hit 50,000 to match Obama's performance.

Houston has plenty of zoning laws, I lived there for almost ten years. Perhaps you should go down there and show them how to "build drainage" since you're such an expert.

Trump hasn't accomplished anything notable yet.

He accomplished the impossible task of failing to repeal and replace ObamaCare with a Republican Congress which has repealed all or parts of ObamaCare at least 60 times!

That's quite a notable achievement, actually.

Actually there are rules/regulations for drainage that builders are required to follow. You can't alter the natural flow and they have a formula for the required volume for holding ponds based on the square footage of non permeable structures. Not that they would make any difference in an event like Harvey.

Maybe I'm wrong but seems he's trying on the health care bit

True.....he is planning on REPEALING Obamacare and REPLACING it with the ACA.

FUCK Ted Cruz.

Weak yes isn't it. States like Texas scream how great they are because they have no state income tax and low sales tax and entirely lax building codes that don't require infrastructure for such disasters but when something like this happens they go running straight to mama, the federal government, to bail them out with billions of dollars. And as noted Ted Cruz and other losers voted against sending relief to New Jersey and New York after Sandy wreaked havoc there. These people are disgusting. At the same time these same people, and conservatives across the board, will denigrate and send out a nonstop verbal attack on California for anything that does or doesn't happen in this state.

There is a huge endeavor in California right now that is named We Stand With Texas to raise money, food, clothing, and everything else people in Texas need after Harvey. Millions of dollars are being raised and I'm glad, this is how it should be. Americans stand together at such moments across the country. And this is exactly what the federal government is for, backing up the states when they get overwhelmed and can't handle the situation entirely on their own.

Conservatives though have a hate streak in them that is blind to compassion. They themselves need help as everyone does but by god don't ask them for help. Figure it out cons.

Nothing could be less true.

HC in the 1st week...NO
Wall paid for by Mexico...NO
Infrastructure ...NO
Tax reform NO ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,yes there have been EO's but nothing big like the bullshit artist promised you

You should contact your congress person about all that. You see, they are the ones not allowing anything to be done.

thought you guys were the ones in power? senate house presidency supremes and then you blame dems for doing the same thing repubs did to obama for 8 years? shame on you

It's sad to watch how you've twisted yourself into such a hate filled human being frothing at the mouth. You are being played by the political class, you're reacting exactly as they want you to. Politics is simply a tool used to divide us and you and others here are shining examples of how it's working.

You're so worked up, so filled with hate, that the greater issue is something that you simply cannot see. Since January 20th (longer actually but that's another discussion) you've been shown that the system is a ploy, nobody ever intended to "repeal" Obama Care or any of the other things you listed. It's not that they don't know how to "Govern", it's that they all work for the same bosses, the Banks.

Not a single thing you mentioned has anything to do with global warming.

And Houston is a progressive area of the state.

One doesn't need to believe in the global warming myth to believe in sound engineering and infrastructure

A post ^^^ well worth bumping.

Which leads to the obvious questions:

1) How is he destroying the nation then?

2) what are you so angry with him about?

I would say Harvey is God's punishment for ignoring global climate change.

I would say that most liberals do not Believe in God, so here we have a major display of hypocrisy in calling this Gods will. It simple shows how evil and sick liberals really are, and that they will stoop to any depth in their hatred of Trump..

Most liberals do believe in a loving God, not a "prosperity Jesus", not a fundamentalist fire and brimstone God, but the God of the New Testament.

But I don't believe that God punishes those who don't follow His will on earth, so no, I don't believe any natural disaster is a punishment from God. Otherwise why would bad things happen to good people?

But I do believe that man-made climate change is behind the severity of the storms we've seen in recent years.

So you believe in a God that is not just?
