Thank-you Joe for already having rescue and emergency people and plans in place. For reaching out to the gov and mayors to promise whatever emergency and/or long term assistance needed.
I don't live in FL; I live in Tx. Even so, I'm so grateful that Joe Biden is my president! We are so lucky to have him in charge.
The Unmitigated Gall
(3,804 posts)When the pukes wailed that the loss of life had NOTHING to do with the Federal (lack of) response, but laid it all at the feet of the dem governor, who had requested FEMA assistance well before the hurricane landed.

(7,629 posts)Our elections have been hmm, shall I say, *questionable* for quite a while now. After the Gore steal, I was amazed they let President Obama win.
Sure, there's a lot of rural that may as well be Red (neck) Alabama or Mississippi but most folks live in the bigger cities which tend to be progressive and vote that way.
But don't mind me, I'm just blowing off steam and not really a CT believer.
Something sure seems suspicious tho'.

(2,528 posts)Not that Biden would ever do something so demeaning to anyone.
As I stated earlier this morning regarding a video of tfg dancing, I don't think there was ever a president who had such low self awareness.

(81,220 posts)Thats about all the care and concern he has for people. He arrives to collect more adulation and applause, and if youre lucky, hell throw you a roll of nicely-set-up displays of paper towels.
People who REALLY care dont stage it for a photo-op.
Schmuck. Thats all hell ever be. A cold, heartless, calculating, phony-ass, glory-seeking, attention-hogging schmuck.

(8,724 posts)All the reddest of states that are bordered by the gulf or the southeast Atlantic Ocean shorelines hate the Blue States that are always willing to help them and are trying to do things to lesson climate change that will be most helpful to those red state. And their saviors response is throwing paper towels and go all in on planet destruction.
Blue States Matter. So stop trying to shoot and slaughter us.

(9,979 posts)demanded instant federal billions for Hurricane Harvey relief. He is a total hypocrite who has done absolutely nothing for Texas, but voters keep sending him back to Congress to continue being a useless parasite on our government.

(1,816 posts)Are angry that DeSantis spent how many millions of dollars flying immigrants from Texas to MA?
That money could have helped the people during this hurricaine.

progressoid
(49,987 posts)because he was afraid of the political backlash if he left during a hurricane.
He didnt demand that they kiss his butt.
I saw that desantis thanked him. Wanna bet that gratitude doesnt last more than a day or two before he starts bitching about something else that Biden did or didnt do that he shouldnt have or should have done
Hes still a human trafficker and kidnapper.

(14,735 posts)Clearly florida is at fault here. They don't deserve federal help. Well, maybe a paper towel toss in a few weeks.

(10,252 posts)He will stay out of FL to avoid his entourage causing headaches to all the post storm relief efforts. He won't go there, if at all, until and unless FEMA tells his they're ready for him.
