Hate filled rant getting nothing done for Houston.
Meanwhile Trump has all hands on deck to help them.
"All hands" shows the hands to be short. Many posts have not been filled in FEMA and in the administration in general. Then of course, some posts were filled, then resigned from. It is a skeletal government, and I will be surprised if Texas gets much help at all.
Wow. That wasn't a biased smear piece on Trump. But all he did was pick apart tweets criticizing him on what he should have said. He signed the relief fund. He didn't go to the disaster area to detract attention from the victims that need rescuing and help. He's getting things done. Political arm chair quarterbacking by Olberman with no facts. Fake news!

Appears from news reports they are getting lots of help.
As someone who lives in Houston, I appreciate that Keith Olbermann has only thought about us since Saturday. Surely he never talked about different topics all weekend. I bet he never even criticized Bush for flying over New Orleans instead of landing to take away resources from the city. I mean, that's exactly what he just criticized Trump for doing, flying down here when we are still dealing with a crisis. I guess he is conceding that Bush was right to do the fly-by.
I really think the president doesn't have a lot to do with these tragedies. It falls on local officials, and so far ours have done well. I hear people are criticizing Mayor Turner and Harris County Judge Ed Emmet for telling people not to evacuate. I will never criticize that decision. I think it would have been a disaster of epic proportions to encourage evacuation from a metro with 6.5 million people.
We know for a fact it would be because we evacuated for Hurricane Rita and people were stuck on the highway, running out of gas and stations along the highways running out too, and taking 18-20 hours to make a 3-hour trip to San Antonio, or 48-hours to get to Dallas (assuming they ever made it).
I honestly don't think most people would have left either way because just look at how hard it is to get people to leave their flooding house with rising water.
Anyone who criticizes that decision probably never lived in the path of a hurricane and seen the many times forecasts were completely wrong, as in Rita, which thankfully turned and hit East Texas instead (thank God or all those people stuck on the highways would have been sitting ducks).
His show was partisan and biased towards the left, yes. I'm pretty sure he was fired for making campaign contributions, not for being "crazy."
you think????? everybody that works in that channel has direct or indirect connections to the Democrat Party.
