Think about that statement for a minute.......no, I mean REALLY think about it. What has he done that is "so much good each day"? Give us your laundry list of wonderful accomplishments that have made your and my life better. We really want to hear what these wonderful things are.

Texas Governor suggested people evacuate. Houston Mayor told them there was no need to evacuate. Looks like the governor was right.

Thoughts?
For weather, the people of Houston shouldn't be watching CNN anyway. They'd be watching local new stations. So unless you have some evidence to suggest that local stations weren't covering it (or local radio stations, or newspapers), I'm calling bull**** on your "argument."

False. Just look at people still starting topics and linking to new, fake anti-trump news stories. The hurricane is upon us and the "media" is stil cranking out fake Russian stories. Just look at the topic list.

Good? Trump is destroying America a little at a time.

I live in the mid-Atlantic region and even my local stations have had plenty of coverage. I'd say that everyone in Texas had plenty of time to batten down the hatches or preferably get the hell out of Dodge if they could.

If you believe there's anything "fake" about Mueller's investigation of Russiagate, or believe the investigation should be delayed because of a weather event, you're a crazed Trump cultist.

How do you know they are "fake" ? Are you privy to the inside details of the Mueller investigation ? What research have you done personally ? Otherwise, you are just "assuming" these stories are fake, and you know what they say about assuming.

And just so you understand, most of the effort in putting this post together was just copy and paste. I didn't have to scroll through the homepage to even find these. They were all just at the top.

And again, the OPs suggestion is frankly idiotic. Local stations would have covered the issue enough, and frankly national sources were still covering it plenty (God forbid they cover more than one thing, apparently), so there's no way people weren't aware that this was coming. If they were, it's on them. The information was easily available. They didn't pick up a newspaper or turn on a TV. Or apparently speak with anyone who had.
