Well, I actually did share earlier in this thread. And then I asked you if you would like me to share, to which you responded with yet another tik tok post. But I will quote it to share again for you.

Again….i have direct personal experience with these kinds of videos.

Huh?

That took place about 20 years before he was President…

I have very direct, personal, non Twitter TikTok experience regarding these types of videos. Would you like me to share?

So….i have to ask, are you under the impression that when you hear the US sent X dollars to Ukraine, that all of that amount is in cash, and not at all factored in the amount in (old) military equipment and other resources other than cash? Are you of the believe that there is just one big chunk of cash sitting in Washington, and when we send support to….wherever….its just a matter of how much cash to pull from our bank?

I have on several occasions. At one point the joke of the board was how in one thread I had ole what’s his name who used to follow me around, but has seem to have disappeared, throwin his insults at me when I was calling him out, while on the other hand had three point takedown on another thread doing the exact same thing. I’ve had people give me shit about being on the fence and not picking a side, because I call it out as I see it….not only if it’s one side or the other. But maybe your best bet is to stop obsessing with what the left is doing so much, and focus within. Just a thought.

That’s good to know.

So you would agree as we the people, we should all be upset when a politician lies to us, regardless of what party they represent?

It’s wrong. Politicians…ALL politicians…need to stop lying to the American people. Wouldn’t you agree?

. Good answer!

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.
