My mom in in a nursing home, and I'm in NYC... I've been checkin in with my Mom frequently, and telling her to keep her cell phone charged.

Dickinson had a voluntary evacuation order. It's by the coast.

My Mom is in a nursing home near Houston with dementia... That second picture is my worst fear. I'm in NY and feel helpless, but fortunately she's safe. I've repeatedly call her cell phone and encourage her to turn off CNN... She wants to follow politics, but she panics when the news is like this.

My heart goes out to everyone in Harvey's path.

You would think the fake president would have some words of comfort to offer these people, but nothing. Only tweets about what a great job HE is doing. Soulless bastard!

That he would use the misfortune of others as a fake news win for himself?

He will be bragging about what a great job his lame-assed administration is doing to help the unfortunate souls in Houston.

He will no doubt smile about it, and with no basis in historical facts, call it all "the greatest relief effort in history, that I can tell you".

It will become another putrid theme for him, to build hyperbole into a massive lie to use on his fake campaign.

There is no bottom for him, his very existence IS a black hole on the soul of humanity.

His election is the event horizon....

And the truth of what you said makes me absolutely sick. How can this person live with himself? He doesn't have one shred of humanity in his soul. Neither does anyone who supports him.
