MAGAs are *complaining* that they're absent from disaster zones? At this point, they SHOULD be. Everyone has far more important things to worry about than organising a Presidential visit, like rescuing fucking survivors. Maybe come to at least a provisional death count, before tossing the newly homeless out of hotels to make room for security enterages.
The problem is, if President Biden was the actual president of the United States and not put in his position by the deep state, he could have whipped out the sacred Presidential Sharpie and redirected the hurricane, saving millions of people.
But, as we all know, only the true god king of the United States can wield the Sharpie of Destiny.
In an earlier post Spindale NC was mentioned. That is the source of my favorite radio station of all time. If you like Americana folk bluegrass blues check it out. It is still broadcasting and has excellent recommendations how to help western NC.
Nobody in New Orleans will ever forget that Bush didn't visit the city for 5 days after Hurricane Katrina, and then of course he came with Michael Brown and said he was doing a "heck of a job", which Brownie definitely was NOT doing. But at least Bush didn't throw any paper towels.
I remember reading about his speaking from some platform, which was all lit up for the occasion. The crowd was happy that power was being restored. Then he finished up his speech and left, and the lights went back out.
He was in Jackson Square in the French Quarter, named after President Andrew Jackson, with a statue of Jackson on a horse. The French Quarter was the only part of central New Orleans that did not flood. People had been without power or water or food in the Convention Center and the Superdome for FIVE DAYS, and 2000 people across the Gulf were dead, but he just showed up, got his photo shoot, and left.
Wouldn't surprise me if Stephen Miller and the rest of the full on fascist crew aren't contemplating "25ing" Trump early into his term. if anything could possibly be worse than a President Trump, it would be a President Vance.;
I wish that would get out among the MAGA morons. Could we have some of our people start pushing that narrative so it gets into their tiny little heads? Peter Thiel's shine boy isn't any more popular with them than he is with everyone else.
I see that along with "Save America Again" which is rich considering the absolute mismanagement of COVID. But the ones who lived will just blame their librul commie governors I guess
If you listen to GOP campaign ads, all they do is talk about what a horrible place the USA is. Fuck those aholes, I think it's a great p[lace. if it's so terrible, why don't they all move to Russia?
Of late, I find myself wasting a lot of time researching statistics on lots of things. All it's done has led me to the conclusion that things are not all that bad, actually pretty good, the country is not on "the wrong track", cities are not smoldering ruins controlled by heavily armed bands of ANTIFA commandos, and the World is not a bleak hopeless landscape that can only be saved by Trump.. Have I missed something? Well, the number of gun deaths in the USA could use a little work
They're going to be able to lie because they have a captive rightwing media human centipede. So get ready for people insisting that Biden didn't help at all.
I have twitter for work and my feed has been nothing but "America is shitting on and abandoning the south and instead sending money and national guard to Ukraine, Israel, etc" for days.
OTOT: anyone else get forced to upgrade to the new Weather Channel app and hate it as much as I do? I am all for change if it for the better but it's the weather, it doesn't need to be all purdy. I can't even see how much rain we are getting today. I mean sure, they were rarely accurate but I still wanted an idea. I think I am paying $4.99 a month for "Premium", too.
I am now going outside to wave my fist at the clouds like the old man that I am.
Ta, Evan.

These fucking people.
Search and rescue hasn't been called off. Maga plumbing new depths.

used to listen when business traveling through western NC, great station
You can stream it. That's what I do. I'm in NY.
I forgot to add, it's an NPR station. The only one I know that doesn't play classical music all the time.

Brownie is still defending himself.

I keep seeing these billboards for trump that say "Take America Back". They left off ... 200 years.
I see that along with "Save America Again" which is rich considering the absolute mismanagement of COVID. But the ones who lived will just blame their librul commie governors I guess
When men were men and sheep were scared!
Weβre not going back!
"Make America Great Again!" Deport Trump and his cultists.

Walking down the sidewalk this morning I noticed a MAGA hat atop a little pile of ash Yep, space lasers!
OK, who was that last fucking choad who apparently has never heard of "telephone"
What did Biden say when he peeked his head back in the door? I didn't catch it.
"I was in command, haven't you ever heard of the telephone?" lol Snarky Joe is the best Joe.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His fans want the chaos is what I make of it.
Tell that to the salted wasteland that used to be Portland!
Well knock me over with a feather - The Failing New York Times is endorsing KAMALA
but we'll still keep Maggie on the payroll.
"She's been a total failure, but yeah give her a whirl . . ."
Gift linky! "The only patriotic choice"

How many patriots will make the only patriotic choice?
They must be worried about subscribers
While the front page will continue to kiss Trump's ass and snort on his farts.

Well, if they think it'd help sending the National Guard to the Southlands... hey, maybe it'd be an opportunity to finish Reconstruction!
Absolutely perfect propaganda. And coupled with a right wing media human centipede, we have a lot of headwinds this November.
The chuds on Breitbart are howling that Biden is withholding aid b/c they are red states. I can't roll my eyes hard enough.
Which is why Speaker Jesusbot DELIBERATELY withheld additional funding for FEMA in the stopgap. Already Republicans are blaming Kamala for that!
Donβt they want to get rid of NOAA and FEMA anyway?
Those loathesome, slimy toads.
As Phony Joni Ernst has repeatedly said--"The churches will take care of the truly needy!"
That'd be a nice change.
Fucking bread bags weirdo.
The "deserving" needy.
Fuck her.
Yes, and return disaster relief to the individual states.
Which will be a disaster.
They're going to have to weave some creative falsehoods to tie up people in a lie like that.
It will be interesting to see who hopelessly entangle themselves in their own duplicitous knots.
The "faithful" never notice the lies
OT, but not: A big Wonkette hello to Tropical Storm Kirk:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at2+shtml/145743.shtml?cone#contents
Dear Mr. Kirk,
The Island of Bermuda has declared you personna non grata and advises you just head back out to sea. Sorry Charlie.
Signed- ALL of Bermuda.
Catch the National Hurricane Center webpage now before Project 2025 shuts it down!
(tapes "Kirk is a jerk" sign onto hurricane)

Might end up staying in the ocean?
(I hope)
NOAA seems to think so, yes.
Kirk out!
I know, right?
Oh SHIT.
According to the track, it won't pose a threat to the United States. A more concerning spot is the so-called Central American Gyre.
I'm pretty concerned to learn that there is a Central American Gyre, and that multiple Central American gyres can exist in a season.
Under pressure in an entirely different context.
When it gets to the Gyre, might it gimble in the wabe?
That's jabberwocky.
You watch your mouth!
One hopes.
All that poor trash.
Is that the G spot of Central America?
Yes! Enough circular motion down there, and it squirts out a tropical cyclone.
Mr. Sulu, ready phasers and photon torpedoes.
