I have to say, I don't know why nursing home residents were not gotten out. They were clearly unable to do this on their own. The buses... good question. I also think that there should have been a stockpile of food and water somewhere. Surely there is somewhere in the state of Lousianan that is above sea level.... the fact that FEMA didn't, the Red Cross didn't, the city didn't, the state didn't.... I am just speechless.
Nonetheless. Shopping for shoes while thousands drown. It's a metaphor for this entire administration.
