  1. Actual leadership and serving the entire nation -vs- Trump’s endless grift and politics of butthurt and ego stroking.

    It’s funny how Trump is trying to twist the narrative when even the Republican governor is praising Biden for quick aid guess he can’t stand the positive attention the Dems are getting!

  3. Just_the_nicest_guy on

    But they didn’t show up in person to strain logistics and pull first responders away from helping survivors like Trump did!

  4. It’s probably confusing because he didn’t purposely withhold funding so that people would die and then he could blame the governor, like trump did with Covid in Chicago and New York. That is going to be something that sticks with me until the day I die.

  5. This is how you take care of your constituents. This is how you display empathy and compassion for others at a time of need.

    There’s no room for chaos and hatred.

  6. Someone who is actually “America first” would be happy to see that Americans are getting the aid they need in as timely a manner as possible.

    Yet, republican voters will quickly forget who helped them in their time of need, and ignore the fact that project 2025 aims to eliminate programs which will help people affected by disasters.

  8. Over on twitter, the usual idiot suspects are claiming that Harris, and Biden are no where to be found.

    That no federal help is coming.

    They’ve got to work hard to create up their unreality.

  9. SO many comments everywhere how no level of government is providing any help and that’s exactly the way they like it because quoting Reagan etc.

    Absolutely parallel realities.

  10. Ignorant Brit here. Has the military been drafted in to provide humanitarian aid? I assume there’s billions of dollars already invested in military engineers and helicopters and amphibious craft, along with loads of strong troops etc. So are they all being sent into these areas to help?

  11. Anyone have an update on the Asheville area? Last I heard they are stranded and running through resources quickly.

    Trump gonna go to Georgia and throw paper towels at people again? He was a huge help in Puerto Rico. /s

  13. Here’s what Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp had to say about Biden and the feds:

    > “The president just called me yesterday afternoon. I missed him and called him right back and he just said, ‘Hey, what do you need?’ And I told him, ‘We got what we need. We’ll work through the federal process. He offered that if there’s other things we need just to call him directly, which I appreciate that,” Kemp said.

    > “We’ve had FEMA embedded with us since a day or two before the storm hit in our state operating center in Atlanta. We’ve got a great relationship with them,” he said.

    Sorry Donald, “Did I do that Biden” is out there getting it done. It’s kind of how good government is supposed to work.

    Remember when Trump threw a paper towel roll to a crowd like it was a tshirt at a basketball game?

  15. The sad part is, Republicans would block it if they could, just so they could criticize Biden/Harris for not getting things done.

    These people do not care about Americans.

  16. According to twitter, the hurricane and flooding is Biden and Harris’s fault.

    Also, mad that we are sending billions of surplus military equipment to Ukraine instead of to the flooded states…not sure how APC, rockets and mortar shells will help with the flood, but i’ve stopped questioning twitter comments.

  17. > Still, Trump escalated his criticism on Truth Social, his social media website, where he said that he’s bringing “lots of relief material, including fuel, equipment, water, and other things” to Georgia.

    Even if Trump had the infrastructure in place to actually help others he wouldn’t. Surprised he didn’t bring some paper towels to throw since he likely thinks the people would go wild for it

  18. NegativePermission40 on

    Biden/Harris got there before Trump could show up with a truck full of paper towels. Why, that’s CHEATING!

  19. They should put this side-by-side with Lankford’s border bill. Trump wants everyone to suffer so he can pardon himself.

  20. “But is disbanded the deep state emergency relief programs SO FAST, like the fastest ever! How did sleepy Joe Biden and mentally disabled Ka-mA-la do this?” – Trump

    He WANTS America to fail and Americans to suffer. It’s his entire campaign.

    That’s what’s so great about Americans. When there’s a disaster, politics goes out the window and everybody works together…. naaa I almost got that posted with a straight face. Almost.

    He desperately wants this to be some Bush Jr. Katrina moment so he can have something new to bitch about for a while.

  23. FireWokWithMe88 on

    TicToc is full of this being spun as if the Democrats didn’t care were being slow to help. It’s been less then a week. It takes a little bit of time to get things together after a huge catastrophe.

  24. Trump’s angry that he missed an opportunity to go down there and throw rolls of paper towels at people.

  25. we_are_sex_bobomb on

    Remember Trump throwing yuge tantrums about being pressured by the entire country to send aid to Puerto Rico and then when he finally begrudgingly did it after days of gaslighting, he went there and tried to turn it into a campaign rally?

    Boy that was a fun episode.

  26. All the governors who are impacted just need to call and ask for their state/area to be declared a disaster and Boom… help is quick.

  27. Trump treated Disaster relief like he was negotiating with a construction contractor he aimed to rip off.
