I'm at a polling location at Wainwright Elementary and the judge is refusing to sign ballots. She's arguing with poll workers, and voters, who have pleaded with her to start signing ballots and she is refusing. She says we're closing at 7 on the dot. No one is voting. This is deliberate.

I won't be supporting those who support President Felon and his attempts to destroy our country.

First and most obvious, Taste of Texas. Owners are rabid Republicans, the male half had a far right radio program for several years.

Which others?

EDIT 1: first ever Reddit post, pretty interesting results.

Assumptions/insults: I must be vegan, and unemployed, should move to California, haven't boycotted other businesses, don't cook, and quiz everyone I come in contact about how they voted.

Not a single comment about identifying him as President Felon. It's the new normal that you've created, you think it's just fine to have a convicted criminal in the White House. WTG MAGA.

EDIT 2: MAGATs are coming after me 😂 harassing me on a post I made about donuts months ago, reporting me to some Reddit care program, and PMing me that I am mentally ill 😂 Seriously, for all their masculine posturing, just a bunch of whiny little bitches.

*URGENT* They couldn't rescue all the dogs at the Dog Rescue in Hankamer- 30 dogs are still trapped and water is rising

14.1k Upvotes

Most people thought this rescue was complete because the post being most widely shared shows that there were boats on the way- but in reality there are still 30 dogs trapped at this dog shelter and the owners were forced to leave. They are desperate and begging anyone with a boat to come and get these dogs.They have transportation and shelter waiting for the dogs once they can get to dry land- they just need boats to get them out of the flooded shelter! They are even offering $5K for anyone who helps them get out.

The address is: 413 Speights Loop Road Hankamer, TX 77560

Phone number to call ONLY if you have access to a boat and are physically able to help: 832-274-1053

If you know anyone who can get the remaining 30 dogs please help! Here's the link to their facebook page with the most recent post: https://www.facebook.com/DallasDogRRR/

**Edit: It looks like there may be help on the way per this post but the shelter's official page has not posted any updates yet. https://www.facebook.com/WatchdogMary/posts/1966709433550953?hc_location=ufi&sw_fnr_id=2848127660&fnr_t=0

**Edit 2: A video of the Chambers County Sheriff rescuing some of the remaining dogs! Oh god I'm so relieved I could cry! https://www.facebook.com/WatchdogMary/videos/1966713346883895/

**Edit 3: JUST TO BE CLEAR-- IT APPEARS (according to a few sources- however not the shelter itself yet) THAT THE DOGS ARE SAFE!

IMPORTANT UNLESS YOUR HOME IS UNDER WATER OR STRUCTURALLY UNSOUND, STAY THE FUCK IN YOUR HOMES. DON’T LEAVE. IF YOU AREN’T IN HOUSTON DON’T COME.

11.5k Upvotes

I cant believe I have to say this. Everyone’s asking should I leave should I go to work? No. Stay where you are. There is flooding everywhere and so many people nearly drowning. Every police officer, paramedic, first responder, whoever tells you don’t go out and they are right. Also if you aren’t in Houston don’t drive or fly in. Hobby and bush areas are starting to flood and many of the freeways are flooded and/or closed. It’s not worth to to go out or come in just don’t do it. There is literally no reason to come here or be out right now.

Harvey: Trump praises Coast Guard, slams "guys with the little boats"

8.2k Upvotes

I frankly have no idea what Trump was talking about at last night's rally re: the "guys with the little boats" who went out in Harvey.

Is he confusing people who actually took their boats out -- the citizen rescuers (locals, Cajun Navy, etc) -- with something he made up in his head about storm watchers boating on the gulf during the hurricane? Because the latter is surely nothing I heard of.

Quotes:

"You know who was fantastic, the United States Coast Guard...

"And I don't know who in this room did it, these guys with the little boats, think they have this great boat, okay. Where do these people come from? They want to go out, and they want to go into the hurricane -- to show their wife how great they are? And then they go out there and say 'Oh my God I'm dead!'...

"In Texas, the United States Coast Guard saved 16,000 lives....

"And next time, all you guys and gals, when there's a hurricane -- do me a favor, don't take your boat out. Just head out of town for a little while...

"FEMA was great, law enforcement was great, first responders were great, the military -- but the Coast Guard represented the military. I'm proud of 'em."

https://youtu.be/y1MQV_adhLQ?t=46

edit: A few clarifying facts for folks not in/from Houston:

- These remarks were made by President Trump at the rally he held last night (10/22) in Houston

- Many of us who lived through Harvey in Houston are intensely appreciative (to the point I can feel the emotion welling in my throat, one year later) of the citizens who risked their lives taking their boats out onto flooded streets and rescued our friends, family and co-workers from their homes -- all the locals as well as the people from out of town like the Cajun Navy. And also of the first responders and professionals who did the same.

- I'm still not sure what the heck the President was trying to say here, or who he thought upbraiding in his comments.

Take this as you will, but a guy my husband works with has a coworker who tested positive for measles and now everybody in their office has to go and get tested. Have fun everyone! It’s ridiculous that this virus we once had eradicated has made it come back due to what is just blatant stupidity.
