FEMA canvassers skipped 11 (eleven) homes with Trump signs after Hurricane Milton. That’s the *only* political ‘discrimination’ under Biden the report found.
Telling FEMA workers to avoid homes full of people who would gladly take the opportunity to Stand Their Ground and apply the Castle Doctrine to the evil gubmint librulz shouldn't have been something that got someone fired. That's basic workplace safety.

OT: Well on the "Hasan Piker actually wants El-Sayed to lose" side of things, Piker announced on a recent stream that actually El-Sayed agrees with him on just about everything and any disavowal is going to be purely tactical to get votes.
Oh. My. Fucking. Gosh.
"Hi, I am Controversial Asshole Streamer who supposedly wants Candidate to win! I just want you all to know that Candidate secretly agrees with me on everything and is only disavowing me to trick you and get your vote!"
We TOLD El-Sayed to chuck him under the bus before it was too late. Welp. Too late might just be here!
Nothing good ever comes out of the Young Turks. I was unsure about him, because of his relation to Cenk Uygur, but he also left TYT and kind of looked like he was maybe thinking of becoming a more serious person. But no, he's an asshole Twitch streamer. That's who he is and always will be.
He doesn't know what to do now that the Dem Establishment is working to make sure El-Sayed keeps that seat in the Dem column (because it's a super important seat, this is in "fucking doi" levels of "stuff that was gonna happen"). Because his sole function is to attack Dems.
But saying it before a disavowal came means it's now going to be in ALL of Rogers' ads against El-Sayed to paint him as an opportunistic liar.
And there's a difference between "I understand having to distance oneself from controversial figures, but I still support him" and "lol, he totally agrees with everything I say and is lying to you for votes!"
*shrug* I'm still unsure how El-Sayed is responsible for Piker's interpretation of his disavowal. Piker was almost certainly going to go with that line no matter how El-Sayed did it because it preserves his illusion of political influence.

Trump would be first in line for FEMA help if a hurricane hit Florida.
If there are tornados in D.C. maybe we'll luck out and one will destroy the ballroom. Right now.
He's completely clueless.

Does Trump think that guy is talking about the SAVE Act?
I feel like I can only say "he's even dumber than I thought" so many times before it loses its impact but Jesus Christ.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a maroon.
Fuck, Tim Curry too, what a blow. May he be at peace.

Action shot!
While we are on disasters, is there an alternative to xcancel now that they've been shut down?
None that I know of, other than avoiding X entirely.

TIL that the famed clone sheep Dolly was named after Dolly Parton because the cloning process used a cell taken from a mammary gland.
Abbondanza!

Really please no, that's OK sir, But I will continue to support you in my congressional seat.

Comer is an unmitigated rancid dickfuck from a state that has a "personal lubricant" named after it for some reason.
I’ve always thought that was pretty terrible branding.
Lubricate your sexy times—with cornpone , racism, and rancid bourbon.
I do like KY Bourbon though. So long as it's Bulleit's. Not that Jack Daniel's piss.

Of course they skipped those houses; Mango Manson's cult of goons was SHOOTING AT FEMA PERSONNEL.
Sorry folks, this is an important topic, but I have to share this scene in memoriam to Tim Curry

Asshole Twitch streamer is asshole, film at 11

Honestly I don't see how Piker doesn't say this no matter when or how the disavowal comes.
Piker CANNOT be happy with anything. You do something right, and he immediately finds something wrong.
He doesn't know what to do now that the Dem Establishment is working to make sure El-Sayed keeps that seat in the Dem column (because it's a super important seat, this is in "fucking doi" levels of "stuff that was gonna happen"). Because his sole function is to attack Dems.
