Has Biden tried throwing rolls of paper towels at them yet? When the people of Asheville get pegged with a roll of Bounty flying 50 mph, then they’ll know Biden cares.
Chem trails spotted as the storm hit the coast. Kamala summoning demons has been reported. The Holyland erupting in war. Trump evades sniper bullet with the last minute tilt of his head. Biden speaking in tongues. End times are upon us.
One of the 10 most dangerous jobs is being a lineman. Hope they stay safe. Looks like there is a lot of work left to do.
I mentioned Floods and Hurricanes as a consequence of not fighting Climate Change in my prior message post. Not mentioned, politicians get in the way of those hit hard by a natural disaster. Full List of Republicans Who Voted Against FEMA Relief Before Helene Battered Their Home States ...Many of the lawmakers who voted against the provision of additional necessary funding to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) represent states that were hit particularly hard by Hurricane Helene. No Democratic lawmakers voted nay. Read the full list of lawmakers who voted against the stopgap measure below. North Carolina: Representative Dan Bishop, NC 8th District Senator Ted Budd South Carolina: Representative Jeff Duncan, SC 3rd District Representative Russell Fry, SC 7th District Representative Nancy Mace, SC 1st District Representative Ralph Norman, SC 5th District Representative William R.

Hopefully, we do not get any more natural disasters for the next 6 months because if we do...those Americans are fucked. wrbtrader
I know you probably aren't smart enough for this level of thinking, but voting against the stopgap because the government keeps kicking the can and not passing a budget isn't the same thing as voting against disaster relief, simply because they put it all into the same pork filled bill. Disingenuous folks like yourself love to do this. "He voted against this" without actually considering that there's another reason to vote against massive, all encompassing spending bills.
We also have Mark Robinson in North Carolina who refused to show up and vote in support of the state's emergency declaration. Voters in our state should remember this when they vote in November in the gubernatorial race. Even former Republican Governor Pat McCrory called out Robinson for failing to show up and support the emergency declaration -- stating “It’s inexcusable in a time of crisis". I will note the North Carolina Council of State includes other Republicans -- all who voted in support of the state's emergency declaration. NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson didn't vote on state's Helene emergency declaration, records show North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who has called on Gov. Roy Cooper to deploy more resources to help people in western North Carolina, was the only Council of State member to not vote on Cooper's request to declare a state of emergency, records show. https://www.wral.com/story/nc-lt-go...-emergency-declaration-records-show/21653112/

The lack of power transformers she discussed would have to do with the disaster relief and recovery. That's actually pretty sad they were sent to Ukraine.
