@StormChaserHTX @abc13houston @TxStormChasers One day the City will actually build the North Houston Canal. This wouldn't happen with that canal built. I doubt it will ever be built at this point.

@OurShallowState The Kennedy Center is not in its "original state" as ordered. As long as the scaffolding and tarp are up, it still violates the order. But he does not care.
English

His name is no longer on the Kennedy Center, but there's a tarp over it so he can avoid humiliation. The ballroom, always an excuse for a bunker, is an endless eyesore, and not privately funded as claimed - but they want to fund it from taxpayers, so he can avoid humiliation. The blue reflecting pool isn't blue anymore - the algae are growing, as algae does, but they're dumping hydrogen peroxide into it so he can avoid humiliation. His attempt to get artists to play for his birthday, failed - which was a massive embarrassment, forcing him to say he was the one who cancelled it, said to avoid humiliation. The Iran war is a whopping defeat, a surrender, and a global disaster, and they're trying to figure out how to help him spin it so he can avoid humiliation.
This is the Trump 2.0 presidency. Thin bluster and fake bravado designed to disguise humiliations.
How humiliating.

@HoustonChron I also believe, if my readings were correct, that he knowingly built homes in the "flood pool" of the Barker Cypress reservoir. This development is today's Cinco Ranch. Some homes there flooded from Harvey.

Kickerillo built thousands of homes, survived a devastating banking collapse and developed communities that still define much of west Houston and Katy today. houstonchronicle.com/business/real-…

Just read it.
Spot On -
An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’:
“Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth.”

@RepBaumgartner Critical care doc here. I’m routinely at work at 11:30 pm trying to save lives at risk because of problems you perpetuate like gun violence and poor healthcare access. Stop trying to fund violence and until then stop your whining and get back to work.
English

I’m fully aware that this job requires tons of travel and crazy hours, but it does indeed bug me that I’m here in DC at 11:30pm voting (for the 4th time!) to fully fund the Homeland budget and missing my kids hoops game tomorrow morning back in Washington because the Senate pulled their BS stunt last night. 🇺🇸

This post has gone viral today!
When @KamalaHarris said, “I will always tell you the truth, even if it difficult to hear…” she meant it! She told you so!
