RW evangelicals probably prayed for Kremlingate to disappear from media and along comes Harvey. Besides corruption disappearing from news, Trump gets to look presidential by tweeting sympathies & OKing relief funds.
Too bad they weren't more specific as to distraction, tho. God picked misogynistic & bigoted Texas as an answer. Notice pseudo-Christians aren't blaming sinful behavior f/ the disaster, like they did w/ Katrina & other "acts of god."
Sorry if snark offends. I really do wish Gulf coasters well and recovery well-funded & excellently managed.

(15,393 posts)The last two big ones - a flood in Louisiana that destroyed the house of Tony Perkins (who has made claims that natural disasters are signs of God's wrath), and a hurricane set to hit Hawaii but petered out - probably has the evangelicals jonesin' pretty hard. Hell, the whole Obama's state attacked by God bit would have given them weeks of material and fundraising.
