Maybe a few facts to digest as you muse over these dishonest left wing rants. First pres Trump has visited houston several times inspired hope and promised billions in relief. He even donated a million of his own money. I didnt see a cartoon about that? Second there is ZERO evidence climate change had anything to do with this storm. Perhaps the hate Trump Deseret News can choose some cartoons next time from conservative papers...but I doubt it . Once again the left wing  Des News is so out of touch with conservative Utah... sadly."},{"commentor":{"name":"weightless skittles","location":"Hewitt, Texas","isStaff":false},"text":"There are no words that can describe my disappointment that this article is even being published.  I have a family in my home now who were running out of their home to safety to another city, not knowing when they would ever return and then what they would find.  Our community is filled with families caring for relatives and friends who have lost everything. When Trump and Pence showed up, it meant a great deal to Texas ( look at the lines of people along the roads Cheering his motorcade).  What it told the citizens is that the governor and president were together helping the citizens.  Texas has it right:  take care of your neighbor and put the politics away.  I am proud of Texas citizens now more than ever.  I would hope, in a disaster, your state&#039;s citizens could say the same thing."},{"commentor":{"name":"TAS","location":"Tehachapi, CA","isStaff":false},"text":"5 of these cartoons have nothing to do with Harvey,"}],
