In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re on a different topic over here.

Exactly. Many will and do.

I wonder if they say that because of the number of Republican congressman that have come out and said we could’ve gotten done, but Trump got on the phone and killed it.

And then lying about the answer. To your other post, in saying it sounds even worse that no more is being sent, shows a lack of understanding of how the processes work in these situations. Your lack of understanding does not = the parties failing in doing their job. You would do yourself some good to understand that.

I don’t remember the exact questions, but specifically recall them going to back to Walz to clarify the reality in discrepancies in what he said. I didn’t see where it was any more or less one way than the other. I also didn’t see the questions were at all biased. And frankly I don’t have any problem whatsoever with the moderators calling out a blatant lie for either one. But republicans were already before the debate even started that it was rigged, just like in 2020 they pre emoted the election. I felt the moderators did exactly what they were supposed to do and did a good job. Others can and will disagree.

Excellent irony, and excellent example of what I’m talking about here. This just popped up on my memories, two years ago today. This was day four from when Ian hit, and day three in which I was working directly with FEMA and the National Guard, coordinating and operating distribution centers, for the purpose of distributing federal resources to the community. I remember this because I got home and posted this after a 15 hour day, and after posting scrolled FB, to find some Republican politicians on social media talking about “where’s the federal government”….which of course people in the community parroted on social media, even though the federal government was all over the area. I remember thinking, well these people obviously weren’t at one of the four distribution centers that had been literally stuffing the trunks of thousands of cars with supplies the last three days….but surely they saw the hundreds and hundreds of linemen that had come into our community from other states, (paid for by the federal government) or surely they saw the chinooks that were constantly flying overhead, dropping off supplies and picking up stranded victims from the islands. Surely they saw them…but some people have a personality trait that makes them feel better to push lies, even in the face of human tragedy, for political purposes.

Vance certainly won the debate hands down. To the point he may have even driven some conservative voters who want conservative policy but just can’t vote for Trump. That said, I thought the moderators did just fine. They called both out on discrepancies. They were diligent in keeping on topic and in the time frame. And they cut the mic when it went out of those parameters. Their job is not to ask the question and then just shut up until the candidates are done talking (we would never get anywhere). The job title is ‘moderator’ for a reason.

Who is ‘they’? Is they the people ranting on social media?? Because the governors from the states affected are telling the complete opposite story of what you are. Unfortunately it’s a story we’ve seen play out every time one of these things happen recently.

The question was not were any more resources available, the question was were there more resources that would be sent.

Yes, because Biden’s words weren’t ‘there are no (or no more which you shifted to) resources’. Those were the words Sean Hannity used for his caption on the video he posted, of Biden not saying “there are no more resources”. He, and other people do this, because he knows the blind followers will follow blindly and repeat it on social media. I have seen this play out directly and first hand. But in this case, what was actually said was: Question: Are there any more resources the federal government would be sending? Biden’s answer: No, all of the significant resources had been prepared and were ready to go before they had asked for it. But again, who wants to dig a little for the truth when the lies we are told are so warm and fuzzy.

You can listen to the governors of the states affected, who came out to specifically contradict the lies of your nutswing. Or….you can continue to run with the lies of your nutswing because it gives you something to feel all warm and fuzzy about, even in the face of human tragedy. It’s up to you. That’s what makes this country so great. PS- I’ve made very clear around here I don’t and never have supported Biden, no matter how much you keep wanting to pound that sand. I can understand that some people have a hard time not equating ‘doesn’t support’, with a desire to villify. Maybe you can understand not everyone is built the same way, and differences is another thing that makes this country so great!!!?? Maybe…

September-October is always the high alert time of year for us. Particularly those storms that get into the gulf as those water temps are so warm this time of year. My biggest concern for this month is a storm that is able to develop enough that it forms an eyewall before entering the gulf. If that happens, it's going to be very bad news for wherever it goes.

Repeating a lie doesn’t make it any less a lie. And parroting a pathetic talking point lie in the face of human tragedy doesn’t make it any less pathetic.

Truly pathetic how this historically tragic event is being used for election gain and gotcha moments.

As they are this time every year...

No rest for the weary. Here’s a model run for this Thursday, from one that has been pretty accurate this season. If holds, eyewall already in place before it even gets into the gulf. That’s bad news for wherever it goes.

The question is, does it really change anything?

I wonder if Ukraine feels their plan to convince Russia to invade them and destroy their country so they could launder money is working? Ballsy strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for them.

Damn, sorry to hear that.

I believe it was the great Fletcher Reede, esq. who said…….. ”STOP BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLES!”

A glass of wine….and a little ‘Bob Marley’

Stay safe. This thing is effecting pretty much everything east of the Mississippi. Friends in northern Indiana have high wind advisories for today. This is what she looked like from the space station BEFORE she hit cat 4

I was thinking, as the community was prepping for this storm, about all this talk about how no one can afford groceries, bare essentials. I walked through the grocery store Wednesday getting some last minute snacks, and I took observation of the shopping carts. A whole lot of full shopping carts. And the very telling thing is they weren’t stuffed with water, toilet paper, canned goods, etc. All those things were readily available on the shelves, and most of the carts were filled with things like beer, wine, little Debbie’s….and a whole lot of non essentials. Brings to light those on TV and on Twitter screaming at us about what a horrible country we live in.

Turning out we got real lucky in my little section of the world. Some real carnage all around me, some historical situations. Town directly to my north saw its worst flooding ever. Islands to the south, west, and north all under water. Tornadoes to the east. Apparently even the east side of my city under water. All I ended up with is one section of fence blown out. We’ll be getting hands dirty around here for a little bit.
