    Just when you think GOP lying is as vile and absurd as it can get, Trump and friends find a way to multiply it by a trillion.

  2. Are people in North Carolina okay? Who gives a shit. Let’s talk shit about Donald Trump.

    I’m in Asheville and while, yeah the situation is bad, the federal, state and local governments are doing a job worthy of my tax dollars. We see 5-6 helicopters an hour from sunrise to sunset heading in the direction of Chimney Rock and Lake Lure, two of the areas hardest hit. Trump, Laura Loomer and the rest of these charlatans are liars and flim flam men and women. I’m thankful this didn’t happen under his dumpster fire leadership because he’d probably have stripped FEMA of its funding. State governments from other states are chipping in, state troopers from Louisiana and Connecticut are here volunteering and running shelters. It’s deplorable he’s using this as an excuse to advance his awful agenda. They just found a little kid dead in the river not but an hour ago yet this is an opportunity for Trump.

    It’s rather interesting how far free and political speech stretches. Demonstrably harmful lies and deceptions in a critical situation and…nada, nunca. I’d really like to see these chaotic evil ass-clowns have some consequences…something, anything?

    Refreshing to see a news source using the proper term “lies” instead of the cowardly “falsely claims” In the headline.

    I feel Trump has single-handedly destroyed the GOP. There’s no coming back from this clown show.

  8. “The FEMA funding for the program has increased from $363.8 million in fiscal year 2023 to $650 million in fiscal year 2024. Now, city officials and politicians are asking it be funded by as much as $3 billion.”

    Sorry, it’s true.

  9. I know this sort of thing has been normalized for years, but…this is fucking unacceptable. Fuck every single person who supports this fucking evil shit. Yes. You, personally.
