There is a relationship between the two events.
The damage form Harvey is exacerbated by any buildings that didn't do the best flood planning.
Obama's order says future buildings need to have better flood preparedness.
Trump's order says that future buildings are OK to skimp on this. The building community objected to the costs.
Of course Trump's order has nothing to do with today's storms.
But today's storms storms tells us what tomorrow's results can be if we are not better prepared.

See, your delusional hysteria is once again impacting your ability to reason. None of these new Obama rules were even in effect yet, and the specific regulations were strongly objected to by the building community (these were put in place to appease environmental groups).
Yet, it doesn't stop Newsweek from publishing this headline:
"Trump Rescinded Obama’s Flood Risk Rules Weeks Before Hurricane Harvey Hit"
There is absolutely no relationship between the two events, yet the article's intent is to relate Trump to the disaster. Scumbags.
I agree that implying Trump's actions had anything to with Harvey is dishonest, but I do think it's fair to say something like, "Regulations related to flood damage were recently rescinded, and this storm shows what can happen as a result of severe flooding"

FYI - Trump hasn't done any of this.
What Trump has done with his new restrictive flight rule is this >

That new statement is still not relevant. You're trying to relate two things that have nothing to do with each other. This Houston flooding situation would have occurred regardless of whether or not there were different regulations applied to construction projects.
What Newsweek is trying to do is incredibly dishonest.
TRUMPKINS LOVE GAYS AND TRANNIES

Houston has evacuated for hurricanes less severe than this one. Trump rescinded the flood evacuation rules so he would have the opportunity to fly in to the rescue; political rally, photo op, TV time. And guess what? Tomorrow Trump flies in to save Texas--his voters--from this 'unexpected' disaster.

Well done. Is this Chris Cillizza? LOL
Back from a 2-wk overseas work trip... what's new? Has Trump finally figured out he's not in a reality TV show? Has he given the ok for some random military conflict to distract from his massive incompetence yet? Has he claimed Harvey is a hoax yet? I haven't followed Trump news much, but I sure heard from everyone I met across 5 countries how embarrassed they are for us. So much winning.

The Trump reality TV has a new episode tomorrow when Trump flies into Houston to save the day. Expect the political speech he gives to ramble as usual. Only his rabid fans will be allowed to attend the rally.
The Arpaio pardon could be a test run for shutting down the Russia investigation
You missed everything.
We are great now. Again

It's all ultimately irrelevant, as Trump will win again in 2020 and liberals and Democrats will finally be forced to view the many shortcomings of their party. Main problem: NO platform. All the Dems offer the average American is silly platitudes about "resistance."
Resistance doesn't bring back jobs, doesn't combat terrorism, doesn't strengthen the border, doesn't do much. When will Dems and liberals learn that aligning 60+ million ppl with "Nazis" is absolutely idiotic. This is only further alienating the party, evidenced by significant drops in DNC fundraising and the increasing last-ditch hysteria in media everywhere.
You guys are the most pathetic losers I've ever seen. Trump Derangement Syndrome is real, and should seriously be added to the DSM-V. Amazing how so many of you that scream "racist" see race in literally everything. Even more amazing is how you obsess over Trump's every breath, devoting so much of your time criticizing things you don't really understand.
If you voted for Bernie, you wanted socialism and didn't see the obvious super-delegate sham perpetrated by the Clinton camp and DNC. Bernie never had a shot, and if you thought he did, you don't understand things. And if you voted for Hillary because of "muh first woman muh f*ck drumpf" you have even less room to talk.
And yet you still cite all the same polls and news that told you she would win 98% and Trump would have to drop out. If Trump's an idiot, who dominated the Clinton machine on half the money, what does that make Hillary? And what does that make all the frothing lemmings who were positive she would win 100% GUARANTEED?
And you call us "Trumptards.
Enjoy the next 7.5, you literal f*cking retards
True stuff. Perez was a bad move, tried to actually emulate Trump from the gun by being loud and boisterous, throwing around expletives. Just didn't work. Some Dems have moved to the center but many still toeing the line and u can clearly see that. I honestly think they're all in on trying to impeach him or incite civil war? They're trying to reinvent themselves as "resist" the system when they are totally the party of the system in every way. They HAVE gotten a lot of useful idiots to buy into it tho, sadly :/

No premiums. No deductibles. No costs for anyone.
Just go to the doc and get taken care of.
Indeed, the collusion between Trump and Putin is almost comical. Meaning after denying it, it has become completely clear in absolutely obvious ways.
First the people running the campaign admitted to hiding a meeting with Russian intelligence officers, and now a trump advisor literally says that if trump does a deal, Putin could get him elected president.

Except... they never made the deal, he never built the tower, he never used it in his campaign, and he became President anyway. All this proves is one of a zillion "business associates" offered to help Trump get elected via Moscow, and they didn't go along with it. Yawn
What makes you think I'm white you idiot.Eric in previous posts said you are a troll and everyone should ignore you. I Thinking trolling is only a small part of it, more is going on.I have a parable for you DFF. A man in his car passes a piece of trash on the side of the road. He's passed it on a number of days but today he is debating whether he should stop the car to rid the street of trash. I am the driver of the car and you have the other role.You have said some mean things repeatedly to a number of people and by all rights I could do the meanest thing in the world to you, speak the truth to you in a way that would make you confront some things about yourself that you don't want to confront.I don't know you and I don't know how emotionally vulnerable you might be. I am going to wait to see if you continue your trash. I don't want to risk hurting you.

Except that ... The Trump Organization’s business partnership with Russian mobster Felix Sater — turned FBI informant — unraveled at the start of this decade when the Trump SoHo [Moscow] collapsed into a pile of fraud, contract and foreclosure lawsuits.

most liberals will not look at their own deficiencies, guaranteeing a victory in 2020. Unfortunately, because most liberals will not look at their deficiencies, they will constantly blather on about the President. They circulate propaganda news too which is the real problem. They are, in fact, the complete obverse of classical liberal. They do not tolerate ideas outside strict confines, justifying violence to thwart any and all dissenting thought. Our country is in a sad state of affairs, but things will eventually look up. Even if that means many liberals have to go
