Quaestor said...: FEMA is now interfering with Starlink's efforts to re-connect the devastated citizens of western North Carolina to the world.

It seems like Kamala is trying to prevent those people from casting ballots. That couldn't be true. Could it?; 10/6/24, 7:52 PM

TikTok via X: This looks like what network news television used to do

TikTok via Reddit: "Hurricane Ian survivor has a message for those spreading misinformation about FEMA..."

ABC This Week via X: "FEMA chief Deanne Criswell says criticizing her agency is “dangerous.”"

"Come in" she said,
I'll give you shelter from the storm."; 10/6/24, 8:29 PM

Hard to say for sure, maybe she just wants to be the one to get those people hooked up. $42 billion was dedicated to getting the job done. In other news...

"California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed legislation that prevents local governments from requiring voters to present identification at the polls, a law aimed at curbing conservative efforts in cities like Huntington Beach."

Q. Who is opposed to insuring that only eligible voters cast ballots?
A. People who intend to cheat.; 10/6/24, 8:40 PM
Dixcus said...: Hillary Clinton ... get this ... a washed up Arkansas hick who's kid looks exactly like Web Hubbel for some reason ... thinks she is "in control" of the rest of us. When she cannot even control her own husband.

Somebody needs to feed her another cheeseburger and vodka tonic and tell her to take a good look around at her crumbling empire.; 10/6/24, 9:09 PM

Dixcus said...: FEMA is NOWHERE to be found in the devastated regions of North and South Carolina. They are completely absent. They aren't handing out supplies. They didn't even pre-position supplies in this area. And they are threatening arrest of anybody who tries to fly in supplies to this area or rescue trapped people off mountains that are currently inaccessible due to roads being entirely washed out.

I DARE Deanne Criswell to show her face there. She'll find out what dangerous is.; 10/6/24, 9:12 PM

Trump looks like he's 90 years old. And listen to what he says.; 10/6/24, 9:15 PM

https://nypost.com/2024/10/06/us-news/fema-abandons-residents-of-devastated-nc-town-because-of-road-closed-sign/

Seems dangerous for them to do that. Puts their "employees" in danger when they show up and try to scare off rescuers and others helping. Those employees might find themselves in REAL danger if they show their faces.; 10/6/24, 9:18 PM
Political Junkie said...: DJT stole my look. And I am 54. No fair!; 10/6/24, 9:23 PM
Gospace said...: I guess closed road signs are the FEMA equivalent of sloped roofs for the Secret Service.

They're a disaster response agency. OSHA would have nightmares viewing what real people do in disaster recovery. Like driving around road closed signs.; 10/6/24, 9:36 PM
DINKY DAU 45 said...: An increasingly incoherent and profane former president Donald Trump, 78, is blathering on at his rallies at previously unheard-of lengths and showing signs of confusion that could indicate mental decline. (NO SHIT)
An average rally speech by the elderly Republican nominee for president—who has promised to release his medical records and cognitive tests and then refused to do so—lasts 82 minutes this election cycle, nearly double the 45 minutes he averaged in 2016, a computer analysis by the newspaper found.
In addition to Trump’s well documented rambling, repetitive and winding addresses—punctuated with strange asides about things like his “beautiful” body—among the potential signs of cognitive change are that he curses 69 percent more in speeches than he did in 2016. That could be a sign of disinhibition, a kind of impulsivity that is sometimes attributed to mental decline in old age.
It was also noted Trump used negative words 32 percent more negative words than positive ones, up considerably from 21 percent in 2016, another potential indicator of cognitive change.
He also uses he uses 13 percent more “all-or-nothing” terms such as “always” or “never” compared to 2016, another potential sign of advanced age.
Meanwhile, Trump’s seeming obsession with the past—his ramblings have been dotted with stale cultural references to Silence of the Lambs, Johnny Carson, Michael Jackson, Cary Grant, and Charles Lindburgh—have not only dated him, but earned a raised eyebrow from many observers.
On the other hand, Trump has relied on unusually simple words and sentence structures going back to the days before he was president, suggesting he has simply always been an incredibly simplistic thinker.
Analytic metrics used— tends to place presidential candidates in the 60 to 70 range—placed Trump speeches at 10 to 24.
“He does not think in a complex way at all.”
It has been found through analytics found that Trump speaks at a fourth-grade level, well below the eighth grade average for modern presidents.
Anyone that isnt mind controlled can see this and on top of that the guy looks like crap,he is wearing his pants up round his neck now to get them over his belly,a senile and way too old , like that mean old grandpa who cant remember Hurricane season is not over its prime time .Thank goodness he'll be gone soon. There needs to be age limits for all those people up in Congress and especially in the top office TOO OLD and in obvious mental decline . Next!; 10/6/24, 9:45 PM
Eva Marie said...: 1. Why aren’t news organizations sending in drones so we can see the devastation and FEMA progress.
2. Shouldn’t our satellites be able to locate every single person still stranded for helicopter evacuation or at least to drop supplies.; 10/6/24, 9:48 PM
Saint Croix said...: How is that Dick Cheney endorsement coming along?

The Nation vomits; 10/6/24, 9:52 PM
