Hurricane Laura looms, and Trump is again the man without a plan



There is the possibility that we may now lose sports in 2020. Because Trump had no plan to fix racial injustice after the brutal police murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, it keeps on happening, over and over and over. Now professional sports athletes in the NBA, MLB and NFL have had enough of this inaction. Games were boycotted last night and the athletes threaten to end their respective seasons unless the senseless police murders of people of color ceases. Three months after the execution of George Floyd, and Trump still has no plan to address racial injustice and police brutality. More than that, Trump encourages violence and then complains mightily when it happens.

We can't keep going on like this, calamity after calamity with never a plan to either mitigate or repair the damages. Do you really want four more years of Trump chaos?
 
The usual suspects will just start going on about how Biden isn't doing anything to help with the hurricane.

Obviously the Hurricane is going to flood democrat cities!
 

And it is hot as **** out here in California. When is the Goddamn President going to do something about that?
 

What a ridiculous post.

I don't think any of the states have declared a disaster.

None of the states have asked for help in fighting "the senseless police murders of people of color" either. Trump needs to take control and fix this goddamn hot weather.

Trump should present himself as someone helpful and who wants to work with the states vs "fix it or i will" which is a veiled threat.

LOL You haven't been watching the news for the past three months have you? The President has offered all the states and cities having problems help from the Federal government. Some states and cities accepted the help and haven't had problems since. Other states and cities expressly told the President "**** YOU" and they continue to be plagued by violence. Looks like Evers in WI has finally agreed to Federal help.
 
Hurricanes don't need plans. Wait until it breaks crap and fix the broken crap like in any other hurricane.
 

He has certainly made it in a PR issue.

There is planning that can done around hurricanes, mainly around construction codes and design of civil infrastructure.

IMHO, it will be a big campaign issue. Frankly, it's rather disheartening that it took Biden until yesterday to call out the violence that has been going on all over the country for months.
 

What kind of Bull corn story is that. It is so distorted one might think it is comedy but for your request for us to not support Trump. Trump is not in charge of states who have violence nor in charge of the sports world.

Did Biden finally call out against violence? What about Pelosi, can she call it out?

Three months too late, but yes, finally.

Biden said that protests over police brutality were “a right and absolutely necessary,” but “burning down communities is not protest. It’s needless violence. Violence that endanger lives. Violence that guts businesses and shutters businesses that serve the community. That’s wrong.”

Joe Biden condemns 'needless violence' after Jacob Blake's shooting - CNN Video

LOL No, of course not. Pelosi's latest is to try convince Biden to bow out of the debates.

I agree, its something Biden should take lead on.

If I were him, I would head to Oregon, meet with the governer and come up with a plan

1. Curfew and quelling of rioters in Portland
2. Have the BLM and other protesters (not rioters) form negotiation teams to meet with city officials and police representatives on live TV (except when discussing issues that may have private information, such as specific people or things currently under investigation)
3. Have the delegations willing to sit and stare at an empty room on live tv if the other groups do not meet the terms.

That would flip the narrative quite quickly I believe.
 

You need to the fix the "Progressive" in your profile.

Sounds like good summation of this administration. "Why bother with plans?"
 
Rawley said:
You are reasonable and make too much sense.

That is precisely why I am a progressive. I spent about a decade looking at multiple philosophies, religions, science, history, etc and landed where I did.

We're too busy watching the usual suspects blame Trump for the destruction the hurricane caused. :lamo
