Anybody else watching? God, what a shitshow of incompetence.

And they all got away with it.
And Trump has done the same with the natural and unnatural disasters in his hellish terms, as with Puerto Rico and his STILL going after the national weather experts who questioned his hand-drawn Hurricane Dorian course.
Every American who has succumbed to the GOP Fascist Lie deserves what they will get, even as the rest of us are discounted and attacked in our own country for free speech and thought.

Now, after 2o years, the incompetence is intentional, and malevolent.
We yearn for Bush II by comparison to what we've got now.

I’m watching it now on Hulu.
Where were you 20 years ago when Katrina hit?
Weirdly, I was watching Katrina footage while working out at the DuPont Circle YMCA, which is about a block from the headquarters of National Geographic.
Full circle, I guess.

2 weeks before Katrina hit I was at the Beau Rivage having a lovely luxe vacation courtesy of my parents. I was heartbroken when I saw the devastation on tv. It was like watching hogs feeding at the trough when that govt money spigot opened . Corruption was the rule,not the exception. And the poor suffered on.

In W's memoir, he placed the blame squarely on the governor of Louisiana. Harry "the buck stops here" Truman would have vomited in disgust.

Bush and his pal "Brownie" fucked up. They didn't care about Black people. And thought no one would notice.

I loved those MREs that they handed out.
