I'm incensed at climate change deniers and those Republicans who voted against aid, but are foaming at the the mouth to increase military spending. I'm looking right at you, Donald Trump.

several decades on the drug war and private prisons to house those people. Didn't help society it seems. Just think if all of those resources had been used to build shelters or at least to figure out a safe way to evacuate that many people.

The current powers that be don't really seem to notice that these storms are happening more often and with greater strength. And tRump didn't even know they could have droughts in the Dakotas and has he even noticed the west coast is burning?
