To whom?
That figure sounds Don the Conn'ish'.

Just watched a clip on Local 10

1. But no paper towels? Sad.

republicans are always such a disappointment. I guess the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief don't luv the panhandle as much as he luv him Puerto Rico. Sad. All around. Super sad.

2. That figure is ridiculous

One more scam coming up

3. I don't have a problem with the figure

You could easily have several hundred thousand people affected by the storm. Several meals a day over 5 days and it adds up pretty quickly. Besides, “distributed” might also mean sent to the shelters for future use for the long term displaced.

I have a problem with the definition of “we”. I suspect that he is counting all the meals from fema, red cross and every other organization out there. He has a very special talent for jumping in front of a camera and taking credit for work that other people are doing.

I have no doubt that if there is a live rescue, he will announce it as “we”

5. I saw restaurants giving away free food

In Panama City yesterday

4. They are distributing food in Tallahassee

They did that during the last hurricane (at the main library). There was almost no one there to get the food.

My daughter and I took some - because there was literally so much - and no one was there FOR food. They were there to be at the library - and since there was food, a few stopped in and took some.

(So, this accounts for some of the meals.......)

6. How is my hometown doing? They seem to be ok from reports from friends.

9. I'm not there anymore

So, I just hear from friends. There were lots of trees down, but nothing more than other storms that rolled through.

(I had heard that the library was giving out food again, though .

We're up in VT. I don't miss the weather at all. I like it here. But we lived in a really supportive and interactive neighborhood (we had lots of friends). And I miss that .

7. Not a chance

Every time a disaster hits the big number talking points come out like clockwork.

There is no way two million anything has been done since last week

8. Is it a real meal, or a "meal" like in Puerto Rico after Maria hit?

Can of Vienna sausages and some Skittles?

10. He needs to slither his slimy ass over to Bay County

because they sent out an emergency text yesterday for food and water.

I'll bet that Snott is filming his appearances for last minute campaign ads.

11. Governor Gut the Dept of Environmental Protection/Toxic Algae

He can't have it both ways. I pray the voters of Florida reject his bid for senator. At least Bill Nelson believes in science.

12. Thanks for reminding me to add Red Ride

To his name.
