Gawd, he's so stupid he doesn't realize how much material he's giving Biden. Scary,

from COvid-19, why would you care about two dams breaking and flooding towns?

He has no conscience and not one drop of empathy - everything is about him.

He's got those disastrous polls to attend to.

as punishment for their efforts to expedite absentee voting in the interest of public safety during the pandemic. Voter suppression is more important to him than people's lives.

While Michigan is under water he's threatening them about mail-in voting.

I have already sent my authorization form back for excuseless absentee balloting. It is now essentially vote by mail for me.

It’s not illegal because it was one our ballot proposals in November 2018, which passed by a wide margin.

So Trump can go fuck himself.

President Plump!

That is priceless, superpatriotman! Thank you for that! We should all call him that from now on. It is perfect and would be sure to make his blood pressure spike.

Ever since Pelosi's "avoir du poids" comments, I've been wondering if she and President Obama and Governor Cuomo have begun a secret, coordinate campaign to get under President Plump's thin skin (the only thing thin about him) and drive him right over the edge. I certainly hope so. Or maybe as President Plump's incompetence and lunacy become more and more apparent, everyone feels more emboldened (and a greater sense of urgency) to poke the bear. (Apologies to bears everywhere!)

many times. Edenville Dam, north and upstream, and Sanford Dam south and downstream of 10 have failed. South of Midland, the Dow Chemical area with quite a few landfills is in the flood zone.

Water from its reservoir is now overfilling Sanford Lake. Last news I heard from up there is Sanford Dam is overflowing but the structure remains intact. Midland is flooding, just now a question of how much.

The Tittabawasee River, along with other rivers, form the Saginaw River. That flows through Saginaw and Bay City, MI.

About another 48 hrs and those two cities will be in the thick of the flooding.
