Trump lied at his tragedy exploitation event today and implied Biden was ignoring Kemp. And then CNN went on to say “he’s taking this seriously” and fawning over his response. Full throated sanewashing from them today.

Trump is just the gift that keeps on giving for Kemp. I’m sure he’s under incredible pressure and threat after he resisted Trump’s attempted election theft, but he really should have met his breaking point by now.
Nonetheless, I appreciate him not feeding into Trump’s narrative on this issue.

All Trump ever does is criticize, moan, groan, sow the seeds of fear, derision and anger.
He’s a monster.

remember when puerto rico was hit by a hurricane, congress allocated funds for the recovery and the trump admin obstructed funds making it to help the recovery?
trump still went to puerto rico for a photo op though.
that’s trump’s type of help.
# New probe confirms Trump officials blocked Puerto Rico from receiving hurricane aid
>The administration of former President Donald Trump obstructed an investigation looking into why officials withheld about $20 billion in hurricane relief for Puerto Rico following the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Maria in 2017, one of the deadliest U.S. natural disasters in over 100 years, a new report says.
>A Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General report made public Thursday also found that tensions between the department and the Office of Management and Budget resulted in unprecedented procedural hurdles that produced delays in the disbursement of the congressionally approved funds.
# Democrats accuse Rick Scott of siding with Trump to block disaster aid for Puerto Rico
>Democratic members of Florida’s congressional delegation are escalating their criticism of the state’s freshman Sen. Rick Scott, accusing him of stonewalling negotiations to pass a multi-billion-dollar disaster aid package at the behest of President Trump, who opposes additional recovery funds for storm-battered Puerto Rico.
Well at least trump will hate him again right before an election that’s a good thing

Trump is praying that this turns into some sort Katrina debacle. He would love to see the federal response fail and hundreds die so he could get political points and turn it into an October surprise against Kamala. Since that doesn’t look to be the case he’s resorting to gaslighting as always

With Trump, every criticism of others is a confession about himself. In fact, it was Trump who withheld storm aid for political purposes.

The responses from conservatives on Twitter are both disturbing and revealing
There’s a conspiracy theory floating around that Democrats manufactured this Hurricane. That it’s somehow man-made and part of some deep state operation to interfere in the election.
It’s mind boggling. Climate change isn’t man made according to these people, but *natural* disasters are being weaponized by the globalist, deep state liberal cabal.
Musk’s algorithms are elevating the loudest lunatics on the platform. These are right wing voices that pay for the privilege to promote the most outlandish, irrational, clickbait content. And what’s worse, they earn an income while doing it. It’s the monetization of misinformation, Muskbucks…
These are people whose sole job is to be terminally online, while they accuse “the left” of being lazy socialists. Proudly proclaiming themselves “critical thinkers” and “independent journalists” in their Twitter bios
There’s a concerted effort on these platforms to exploit almost any incident, event or tragedy and spin it into a narrative that blames Democrats/Kamala Harris for every conceivable crime or disaster.
“Where is Kamala?” Is trending, and the top paid conservative personalities are claiming that she hasn’t even made a statement, and that she’s sending billions to Ukraine while poor Americans receive nothing.
These are flagrant lies, but they stick. What’s more, they get pushed to the top of your feed.
Harris has made multiple statements, she’s been helping to coordinate the response, FEMA efforts are underway, these states are receiving the disaster funding they desperately need.
Keep in mind that some of the prominent Republicans pushing these messages have voted down or discouraged this funding in the past.
And you know what’s particularly ironic? That these are people calling for the stripping down of all government agencies, including the ones responsible for responding to these disasters. People who call all forms of government support “communism,” but when that support is desperately needed in their communities, it becomes not only mandatory, but not enough…
And make no mistake, most of these people couldn’t care less about the victims of Hurricane Helene, they’re more interested in using them as props to increase engagement and promote a dangerously misinformed and partisan message. I mean, it’s practically dystopian.
This kind of stuff has become normalized, people are so caught up in their social media routines and devoted to their online presence, that they’ve become desensitized and borderline sociopathic, senselessly dedicated to their online personas and political crusades.
The other irony is that *this* is the actual man made operation. These people are participating in the actual scheme, in the real election interference, mindlessly toeing the line, contributing to the dumbing down of the general public. They are the “irrational force” that Walter Lippman was warning us about back in the 1920s. And Elon Musk is proudly enabling it.
The other consequence of this will be JD Vance, Donald Trump, and/or their spokespeople showing up to the next debate, press conference or televised interview with a handful of talking points that are just reiterations of this propagandistic content. It’s a damn circus. These are deep seated societal issues, and I’m afraid they’re just going to get worse. I can’t think of any immediate solution to these problems. What the fuck do we do!?

Trump said he could end hurricanes by nuking them. So why didn’t he do it? Why didn’t he stop the hurricane crisis?

Kemp is deffinetly planning to run for president in my opinion. He endorsed Trump, but always praises the Biden-Harris administration every now and then. Kemp also only in a blue moon, would say something good about Trump.
In my opinion he is trying to show himself like a moderate and slightly politically left of Trump. But still, he is nowhere politically close in tthe political spectrum, towards Chris Sununu even.

And Trump, who NO ONE has any reason to speak to about recovery efforts, rushes to the scene to insert himself into it, disrupting whatever FEMA and local responders are trying to accomplish. All for the greater glory of Trump, who is powerless to direct any action at all.
The one thing he could do? Donate money. I’d bet an amount I would not be comfortable losing that he won’t donate a nickel. Here is this clown who claims to be a billionaire and is in the midst of a political campaign which sorely needs positive news. Any idiot can see that he might get a boost from an announcement that he’s donated $10 million to the American Red Cross or any number of other response orgs. He could even get a tax deduction for the donation. But he won’t do it. Trump doesn’t donate to charities, [he steals from them](https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/12/trump-pays-2-million-fine-for-stealing-from-charity.html).

Kemp is still a piece of shit, he’s just one that doesn’t want the added stench of Trump all over him.

This is exactly how Hurricane Sandy played out. Obama swooped in with the (what should be typical) federal response: declare the disaster area as soon as possible. Send resources there, work with state and local governments to get the resources where they need to be.
In 2012 and Sandy, it was New York and New Jersey, and while they were solid Democratic states, it means that Governor Christie (R-NJ) had to stand with Obama and then said that he was doing a good job. (he said Obama was doing a *great* job.. because… Obama was governing, not “campaigning.”
And he got raked over the coals ever since. It was the same with Crist in Florida – to the point that Crist left the GOP after they turfed him for saying something positive about Obama governing.
Of course, Obama was using the power of incumbency there, but he showed level-headed leadership, that really helped him in that last 2 weeks.
Kemp doing this for Biden is helpful, but will have less effect since it is Harris who is running, not Biden.

The obscenities of Trump/GOP of using this tragedy created by Hurricane Helene is simply overwhelming. Using people’s sufferings to score political points are the signal Trump/GOP don’t care. The people need help now. The destruction is unprecedented. Roads and bridges are destroyed. Houses swept away. Power and communication lines are down.
Damn you Trump/GOP stop those political attacks. I know it is election season now but show you really care. Go help federal and state officials. Just be normal a sec, empathy. Consideration.
