I know what he's talking about, but I can't let it go whenever someone refers to Harris in a context that any other year would never involve the Veep.
Hurricane Helene - she's going to be one expensive bitch
- Thread starter Noodle
- Start date
Don’t understand the disrespect shown CO. I may have miss it but I don’t recall him doing it to posters.
Trump is down there handing out supplies and meeting with the survivors trying to get Internet up and running, etc. Biden is MIA and Kamala is out meeting with elites trying to raise money. Are they throwing the election?
Really? Could it be because it's never aimed at you/
Regardless, my post was (and usually is) mostly playful nose-tweaking when it comes to COH and a few others. I reserve the real disdain for those posters who are true assholes. I'll leave that distinction to your imagination.
Definitely less hassle. I just hate to pay that much rent without anything to show for it other than a few months vacation.
But everybody's different.
In my book, you're in the COH camp, not the true asshole camp.
For whatever that's worth.
The hassle is the big thing, plus the flexibility. If an area we like gets hit, simply rent in another area or even state.
The difference is Harris is the nominee and you guys need people to forget that the Veep doesn't actually do anything.
I must be slipping.
I guess we should know that after her performance as Border Czar.
All she could possibly do is get in the way at this point. Local responders do not need to deal with security details for a former president, current president or VP right now. They need money and people to help on the ground. Not photo ops.
Harris, Biden and Trump all issues statements day of. Biden authorized federal aid and mobilized fema yesterday. He also is calling for Congress to come back from recess to approve additional aid.
What more could any of those three offer at this point? Thoughts and prayers? They did that too.
Biden could suspend all federal regulations regarding union labor, DEI preferences, set aside programs, and bidding requirements for federal FEMA. reimbursements. The states and local governments need to get all the trucks, front end loaders, and other equipment in the field ASAP without regard to the federal bureaucratic reimbursement baloney.
Trump getting in the way and playing politics with their suffering.
At least he didn’t wear a khaki field coat.
We had 85-90mph gust...I recall looking out and it seemed the powerlines were playing jump rope with the birds.
Freaky.
She made sure the cameras got her with Trump’s wall in the background.
Wonder why she didn’t take pictures with the unassembled Trump wall in the background where her and Biden stopped construction of a wall?
My buddy north of Sarasota had his neighborhood get whacked. Everyone is putting their tvs and belongings and shit out in the yard. Getting fans etc. As they’re doing that scavengers are driving around neighborhoods stealing shit. He had a couple tvs and some other crap stolen. Wtf
Not at all what she said. She mentioned income, those rural people in NC will mostly be pretty poor no matter their race. The billionaire can afford to contract someone, not so much the working poor.
She specifically mentioned "communities of color" and "women". 🤔
And I get it...
Poor, rural single black mothers, living off the government dole, are gonna need more help in the short term than the working white redneck dude, with the landscaping business or whatever...especially when the local Dollar General is underwater.
She's channeling Bocephus...and mixing in DEI "equity" gibberish at the same time.
Yes, "it is our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted... ."
No where does it say only "communities of color" no matter how much you try to make it say that.
Then why even mention it? If they're already included, why the specificity...unless it's just pandering BS as usual?
Of course it is pandering, name a politician that doesn't?
Really?
Btw, Tennessee has been hit like it’s on the Gulf coast and it’s about 600 miles away. The Tennessee governor said, “how do you prepare for something that’s never happened before?” This hurricane, likely because of worsening climate change, is larger and more destructive than any other before.
Btw, I hope she was out campaigning to beat silly stuff like this stupidity and lies we had from 2017 - 2021:
What are You doing to combat climate change?
Are you off the grid?
Do you live on a gravel or dirt road?
It's the most unimportant, useless position in the federal government, regardless of party.
