It's really bad. There is a picture of a guy who jumped over the center divider and literally put himself in front of oncoming traffic to stop them from driving off of I40 into the river. He saved so many lives.
I posted at 7:49am and 3:17pm yesterday. You don’t even know school hours, let alone understand what’s wrong with public schools. But keep voting Republican so it can get worse.
Nope. A thousand times nope. President Biden has sounded like a fool trying to talk about it, but the response has been immediate. FEMA is everywhere. I have two of my own kids and countless friends and former students who live in the mountains and they’ve seen help everywhere, from Asheville to Boone.
He vetoes terrible bills supported by a small percentage of NC residents who control the GA due to gerrymandering. And you have the ability to override every one of those vetoes so NC is entirely controlled by the GOP. You ought to be claiming victories for the response. It would be equally political, but positive for once.
Help is everywhere. But that doesn't mean it is because of the government. The government's response has been abysmal. Like I said, if you want to see how bad the response is, compare this to Katrina and then wonder why you would say this has been a good response when G.W. was criticized heavily for his response. Biden was sitting his *** on the beach and Kamala was living it up with celebrities. Could you imagine the response to that if this were a republican administration? But **** off, not responding to you again on this topic either. You can't be the least bit critical of your team. People you know say help is everywhere, wow. Hopefully they get internet soon so they can apply for their $750. If they qualify.
It's infuriating. My house just got washed away, can't find my family, can contact anyone, have nowhere to sleep, no job and someone shows up with a check for $750. Ha. What the hell am I going to do with that? Can't eat it, can't drink it. These people are nuts.
FEMA is everywhere. The federal govt you constantly want to downsize and exorcise from people’s lives is everywhere and you’re still whining about the govt you want to downsize not doing enough.
I watched an interview with someone who just got connected yesterday because of starlink. They said that the only people who anyone has had contact with were citizens who were going door to door checking on people. But because FEMA is in Asheville, that means that the government's response has been spectacular. The people who were going door to door were carrying 5 gallon buckets of water so they could help people flush their toilets. You know the government ain't doing that. But they'll write you a check!
The idea is that it will help in the immediate to get food, diapers and formula now. Of course there is more coming later. Also, as far as needing to apply on-line,there is also a phone number to call. While this is not ideal, how would you and Mac have them apply? FEMA can’t just walk around handing iut momey to anyone. They need a proceed andrhere are places with power that people can go to. A lot of helping hands driving peoples to places to get power and recharge their phone.
It is not money that they need RIGHT NOW. Where are they buying food, diapers and formula? Jesus christ, you're as clueless as Kamala.
How you can sit there, most likely with a stupid smug look on your face, and say things like "of course there is more coming later." You're dumber than you probably look if you think this is "just about the money." It's the fact that this stupid *** VP of ours even mentions an amount. A better response from the useless windbag? "THE RESIDENTS OF THE MOUNTAINS OF NC HAVE BEEN DEVASTATED BY THE HURRICANE, AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS TO GET THEM A LITTLE FINANCIAL BREATHING ROOM, ALONG WITH MUCH NEEDED FOOD, WATER, AND OTHER SUPPLIES."

Speaking of internet, it was Trump who contacted Elon Musk to help get satellite access to people so they could contact their loved ones while Biden was still vacationing on the beach. Harris was in San Francisco doing a fundraiser. This was going on while I was helping my son who lives in Ashe County get water out of his basement.
Biden was sitting on his *** on the beach? Are you a complete moron? He has been on top of this from before the hurricane hit and since then has been working the phones and coordinating with the governors to make sure they were getting what they needed. The Navy was in place and he just activated the Army. I actually had hoped that you and your little cabal would have sense enough to have recognized Trump’s lies about how Biden was handling the situation when the Republican governor in Georgia called him out. Should have known better. As far as the money that we are sending to the Ukraine, Biden has authorized millions to be spent on this rescue effort. As for the $750, your problem is that she put a number to it? Really? Don’t you think people should know right now what is coming rather than finding out like it is Xmas morning? You are really scraping the bottom f or something to complain a out. Two last points. Katrina was a disaster and Bush was rightly criticized for it. There was no advance planning at all so FEMA was not in place for days. It was so bad that the White House posted on its own web site that they realized they needed to do better going forward and went through the steps they would take in the future. And Mac, what the hell difference does Harris’s laugh make to whether or not she would be a good president. The answer: absolutely nothing you misogynist idiot.
The hardest part is not being there but there is really not a good way to get to them. Her and her husband have done a good job raising their own vegetables and canning them. We were hoping they could get to us but even if they could, I don't think they would leave. Want to be there to help.
Your brain is owned by your political heroes. I never said that criticism of Bush was unwarranted. The point is, as bad as the response was, it was far better than the response to this and yet idiot hacks like you don't think there should be any criticism of this garbage administration.
Yet somehow the feds can put thousands of illegals in four and five star hotels in NYC. Like the Roosevelt. I didn’t hear too many stories of them starving on the streets without food and water in the meantime while going through a process. You same left wing lunatics who criticized Bush for Katrina for far less incompetence than this.
You clearly don’t have the sources Datt has “on the ground” because he assured us FEMA is everywhere. Your daughter must have blinked and missed them.
Biden couldn’t find his way out of a phone booth. He’s unfit to run for another term, but you think he’s making decisions on handling this situation. Do you really think that people knowing that $750 is on the way is going to lift their spirits and help them out? Damn that wouldn’t even cover what they lost from their refrigerator. Let’s keep giving benefits illegals and funding foreign wars though. You people make me sick.
No matter what happens, the old hag on here just won’t give an inch. I’ve never seen anyone as rigid as she is. Hate to say this, but I don’t think she gives a **** about what’s happened in NC either. But she will defend Sleepy Joe and the Cackling Ho, even when it’s so obvious that both have to be the worst team ever in the history of politics.
NO, no they're not homeboy. I have family and may friends that LIVE there. None have seen FEMA anywhere. My family that lives there works in a hospital, you'd think FEMA would at least be visible there. Their exact quote, "I will say this, i have seen no government presence, fema, soldiers etc. but we received several starlinks early on." So STFU with your partisan BS, you don't know.
The evidence is overwhelming. It makes me want to bang their (@SDevada and @Dattier) heads together, and maybe knock a smidgen of common sense into their warped, unhinged minds. The problem with these two hacks is they're educated, which makes them the worst people to deal with. They think they are superior to others, when in reality, they are some of the most clueless, dense, individuals breathing oxygen.
