it is just so beyond comprehension...and more comes out every day.
a woman took her child to the doctor, who tested and found he'd been lead poisoned....he told her, it's just a few iq points, it's not the end of the world! just amazing.
and of course the govt employees got water coolers last summer, but who cares about the unwashed masses and their water?
there's a special kind of evil that gets people to do things such as this, and to knowingly cause harm and just not give a damn.

on a side note....i had to go to the dmv here yesterday. as i'm waiting for the lady to get my deed stamps together, i look around, and there's a new picture of the new governor, asa hutchinson. and i wonder....how much does it cost the state to do that picture, and send to every office to post? and governors are term limited, so at least every 8 years they have to redo all those.
why? do we all have to see a stupid picture of the governor? how much does that cost the taxpayer, along with all the other wasted money on wasted bs like that?
oh, and the property i bought. well, it was a barbershop for 60 years or more, and i was going to leave the barber pole, because it's part of the history of the building.
guess what? there's a law. a state official actually drove two hours one way to inspect, see the pole was still there, and write me a notice that i had 30 days to remove it, because it's not a barber shop anymore. or i would get fined.
so, we don't have money for stupid things like health and education, but we have plenty of money for barber pole inspectors and pictures. brilliant

'We can go to the Middle East, bomb and destroy entire cities, rebuild these cities, and we can’t fix this? Where are the temporary water systems that our government could set up? Where are the military personnel and trucks who could deliver cases of water and filters to people who have no resources nor transportation? '


in brazil, soldiers are going door to door and spraying to kill mosquitoes.

we have the most expensive military in the world, but we can't hand out water?

Obama declared a state of emergency 2 weeks ago. So there, they've got that going for them.

Maybe he can squeeze in a few moments to look into it, if he is allowed to take a break from apologizing for Americans. Again.

>>>Barack Obama is making his first presidential visit to a U.S. mosque on Wednesday, but the historic occasion is being overshadowed by criticism that the Baltimore-area center he chose has extremist ties.

The controversy centers around the Islamic Society of Baltimore's former imam, who has ties not only to the Muslim Brotherhood but the Northern Virginia mosque where the radical Anwar al-Awlaki used to preach.<<<

And that's your response to kids being poisoned by their own government. But of course they're poor and brown so they don't count.

If this is a typical reaction of the rest of the nation, "Sure, kids getting lead poison- BUT WHAT ABOUT OBUMMER VISITING A MOSQUE? HUH?" those poor kids are f*cked even more than they have been already.

Ugh.

No, actually. The point, would you choose to actually read the thread, is that he signed a Federal state of emergency declaration 2 weeks ago. And hasn't lifted a finger to even so much as follow up since - THAT is why, to Zigs point, there is no Federal involvement.
But his ignorance is not without precedent.

He did kinda completely ignore the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico for 5 WEEKS before he was forced off the golf course and engage.

Why haven't you apologized for trying to make hay out 14 people murdered by Islamic terrorists before their bodies were even cold?

Now THAT was inexcusable.

But hey, let them eat cake!

Or rather, let the Governor's wife eat cake, while the Governor makes sure the windows are blacked out so no one can see:
