It is no longer George Bush ,it is now Trump that is being blamed for anything that happens . I am trying to figure how the liberals became so mentally hyper over any of the smallest things . Arpiao was going to be pardoned long before Harvey was news . Yet it was a terrible time to pardon him. All Trump had to do was sign the damn paper. He put the government into action on behalf of Tx and Louisianna. what more could he do. Yet liberals are crapping their drawers .
Blame Harvey on Trump.

The CDZ isn't a good place for general retail political squabbles. Moving to Current Events.
No, no, it's Obama's fault....... Or maybe the global elites...... Or the Illuminati..... Or the Vatican...... Or ISIS...... maybe it's the Russians........
Oh screw it, I'll come clean, I did it, it was my fault.

I knew it. I just sent a hundred black UN helicopters after you.
Cool!!!
Unfortunately I haven't seen many since I lived 100 yards from Fort Bliss in El Paso, left there in May. They would fly right over my house low enough that I could easily make out the crew and wave at them...... They'd wave back. The really, really noisy ones were the Ospreys when they turned their wings into the upright position over the house when coming in for a landing. Couldn't hear yourself think and the cats would head for cover.

Actually, Obama had quite a few. Not sure he got blamed for any of them though...
Obama has declared more disasters — 229 — in the first three years of his presidency than almost any other president signed in their full four-year terms. Only President George W. Bush declared more, having signed 238 disaster declarations in his second term, from 2005 to 2009

More Louisiana republicans blamed Obama for the Katrina disaster than blamed Bush, even though it happened 3 years before Obama became president.

Had Obama flown over New Orleans after Katrina as W did, the media would have presented him as a savior.
Dupes can't see the bias.

Houston still in disarray after Harvey...
Post-Harvey Houston: Years Until Recovery, Plenty of Costs Unknown
November 18, 2017 — When the heaviest rain of tropical storm Harvey had passed, Kathryn Clark’s west Houston neighborhood had escaped the worst. Then the dams were opened — a decision by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to prevent upstream flooding and potential dam failures by releasing water into Buffalo Bayou, just a few hundred feet from the end of Clark’s street.
Post-Harvey Houston: Years Until Recovery, Plenty of Costs Unknown
November 18, 2017 — When the heaviest rain of tropical storm Harvey had passed, Kathryn Clark’s west Houston neighborhood had escaped the worst. Then the dams were opened — a decision by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to prevent upstream flooding and potential dam failures by releasing water into Buffalo Bayou, just a few hundred feet from the end of Clark’s street.
When she and her husband returned to survey the damage later that week, they entered their two-story home by kayak in roughly three feet of water. In the kitchen, a snake slithered past. Nothing like that had happened in the nearly 11 years the Clarks have lived there; it got Kathryn thinking about their long-term plans, including whether to rebuild. “What if they decide to open the dams again?” she asked. “But if you don’t rebuild, you just walk away, and that is a big loss.” The Clarks ultimately opted to reconstruct, a process that will take another half-year before they can move back in. Elsewhere in the city, the waiting will be longer.
A sprawling concrete jungle
In early November, Texas Governor Greg Abbott told reporters that Texas will need more than $61 billion in federal aid, to help fund a reconstruction plan that he said would curtail damage from future coastal storms. However, he added, there will be more requests: “This is not a closed book.” Hurricane Harvey, the costliest storm in U.S. history, will affect Houston for months, and years. Apart from tens of thousands of ongoing home rebuilding projects, civil construction is in the evaluation phase. “With Katrina, it actually took them 12 years before FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Agency] made their final payment to the city of New Orleans,” said Jeff Nielsen, executive vice president of the Houston Contractors Association. “That’s how long it takes to really test and figure out where all the repairs and where all the damage occurred.”
The Le family spends a Saturday afternoon cleaning the lot of their flood-damaged mobile home, which has since been replaced.
Houston covers a landmass of 1,600 square kilometers, compared to New Orleans’ 900, and is much more densely populated. The impermeable concrete jungle experienced major runoff during the storm, and that translates to high civil construction costs in roads, bridges, water, sewage and utility lines that are difficult to determine. Nielsen explains to VOA the immensity of the task. “You may be driving down the road one day and, all of a sudden — boom — there is a 10-foot sinkhole underneath the road because there is a water line or a sewer line or a storm sewer line that runs underneath that road. “There is no way to tell that that’s happening without going through and testing each and every line,” Nielsen said.
Waiting, waiting
