Help me here........
08/04/18 at 20:50:17
 
I think I heard some recent administrations, one of its top spokesmen, say something to the effect that you don’t let a good disaster go to waste....

Anybody help me here?

Oh well, I just saw this article and couldn’t help but think of the irony.....

What irony?

You think that partisanship should take precedent?

Did you make that same comment when chis christie appealed to the Obama administration?

However, you do bring up an interesting point.  Because this president is who he is, we find ourselves asking "what will he do?" in these situations.
Our president is so petty, partisan and thin-skinned that it would come as no surprise that he would only look at the wildfires in California as way to make political gains.  It would also not surprise us to hear him at one of his rallies saying something to the effect of "Oh, poor Jerry Brown - he hates me except when he needs my help with his fires.  Can you believe that?  What a typical democrat.  Losers!"

How did we get here?  Look no further than the mindset of our current president.

Sad.

I remember the last administration threatening to withhold federal funds if gender free bathrooms and lockers were not part of the schools, or something to that effect.

Yeah, I would call it ironic.
Just like Harry Reid.
All that stuff was pre Trump.

Do you have a specific example?  Was it in response to a natural disaster relief request?

You KNOW, that you KNOW, that is true.

“… Obama ordered all schools to make all bathrooms transgender or face a loss of federal funding…”
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/obama-transgender-bathrooms/
(And from the opinionated, ultra-liberal site at that)

But what about this ?????
“…Dems said nothing when Obama punished ‘sanctuary cities’ …”
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/flashback-dems-said-nothing-when-obama-pun...

This is a FUN  Cartoon:  
However,  WARNING, Snowflakes may MELT when they see this

That was not even remotely funny.

President Obama did not personally issue the guidance.

Hmm - not quite as "the same" as you think - read the letter...

Withholding schooling funds to advance ones own personal beliefs, regardless of natural disaster makes no difference.
Be it a natural disaster, with attached funds, for a different purpose.....
And making folks vote on that bill, is wrong.

"One's own agenda"?  You mean Obama acted on his own?

Really?

How did Obama hold Chris Christie over a barrel?

Not that our president has done that with Jerry Brown, but you can certainly see how it would not be out of character for him.

You miss, or just don’t care to see the point, or I am not exampling it very well....
Either way, I done with it.
Too hard to dialogue/discuss stuff via this type on exchanges.

You're the one that started the topic and asked for help.

I agree with you, you are indeed not "exampling it well".

Why is it that when you're challenged you back away?  This is not a personal attack, I truly want to know.  In your original post, you found it "ironic" that Jerry Brown is seeking federal support from the president.

What exactly was your point?

I didn't take it personal.....
That is exactly what I mean however. People read into a post based on their own perceptions, and it gets all convoluted....
I can't defend/explain your perceptions, of me, nor am I going to try.

Did your original post have a point?  If so, I'm curious as to what it was.
