...the only reason GOPer citizens didn't blast Obama more for the way he screwed up Katrina was because Twitter wasn't invented yet back then.

Not even W. He certainly fucked up his response to Katrina but I don't recall that he ever whined publicly about the criticism he got for it. I don't remember any other president acting like a whiny baby like SCROTUS does.

Little-known fact: Katrina was headed toward Arizona and was projected to destroy the state, but then Sheriff Joe drove to Louisiana and beat the hurricane up, saving his state. All hail his Arpaio goodness.

also keeps out weather. When's the last time you've heard about a hurricane flooding Arizona? Exactly. Thanks Sheriff Joe!

No hurricanes have ravaged Indiana under Mike Pence's brave leadership either.
