Ron DeSantis Cooks Breakfast At Waffle House For Hurricane First Responders

Nope, Gillum and his crew woukd have been a disaster and likely the subject of a DOJ investigation by now. Another terrible Dem candidate, andbthey wonder why they keep losing

 

Your Biden snark is typical of the MAGA mindset and atypical of your history. Showing up, listening, offering direct contacts to people who can cut strings is good for exec branch leaders. Photo ops set up for political gain not so much. SWFl doesn't need a chef, we need action on permits to rebuild the causeway. DeSantis time/juice would have been better spent coordinating FDOT and ACOE to get the barges dredging and rebuilding the causeway islands

 

Yes, $22 billion would be a pretty conservative estimate for just flood damage. And there are floods in Florida every year. This is flood insurance we are discussing, not disaster relief.

 

You gave me a disagree and then agreed with me. I gotta keep my eyes on you.

 

We do NOT have that much disaster damage to pay for every single year. We could build up that money slowly and be okay when the next big one hits Florida.

 

The last "big ones" were Michael in 2018 and Irma in 2017. So in the last 6 years, there has been a big one in 1/2 of the years. I don't think you would enjoy the world in which Florida's flooding expenses weren't subsidized...

 

And how much did those tow hurricanes cost in dollars? If we started this state run fund after say, hurricane Andrew, we'd be well financially prepared to take care of our own disasters, up to and beyond, today.

 

State run fund? Are you a socialist?

 

If you're calling out Tilly for being radical, consider the possibility that you may have a pretty broad standard of what you view as radical.

I've known that for a while, but at least TRY to hide it. Don't use RINO sycophants who spend all of their time bashing other Republicans to try and prove that point because nobody would believe you, nor should they.

 

Reading comprehension escapes some.....guess you missed where I specifically stated I had no problem with his appearance?
My problem, for the third time now....is you somehow equating campaign appearances from Chile's and Graham to this particular photo opp. This can't be that hard.

 

Ummmm, find a post from me saying that

 

Total? $77.6 billion from Irma and $18.4 billion from Michael. So $96 billion. If you just look at flood insurance, you are easily talking 10s of billions from those two.

 

Tilly is usually pretty fair and looks at both sides. He’s had a number of posts the past few months that haven’t come off as very tilly-like IMO and moving further right. Totally his prerogative/right and he’s still one of my favorite posters on this board regardless.

 

If you wanted to be really technical, Puerto Rico (at least legally) arguably isn’t “part of” the United States.

It’s an unincorporated territory belonging to the United States, and Puerto Rican citizens have US citizenship by virtue of an act of Congress, but it wouldn’t necessarily be legally true to say that it “is the United States.”

Admittedly, defining what the actual status of insular territories and possessions of the United States (particularly unincorporated ones like Puerto Rico) is, is a particularly weird question.

 

Even if you wanted to get hyper-specific into the language of late 19th/early 20th century imperialist, that is still a pretty big stretch, as it belonging to the US makes it part of the US.

 

The clearest accurate answer to whether Puerto Rico is “part of the United States” is probably “sort of, in some respects but not others, depending on what exactly you mean.”

 

the clearest take on this post, EMBARRASSING.

 

obviously my satire meter was broken

 

Weren't you literally complaining about the tone of someones post earlier?

Regardless, what you guys want is for conservatives to bend toward you and you hate it if even reasonable ones dont.

I'll sleep just fine knowing liberals arent celebrating my opinion of their awful president.

And look at one of the most biased posters on this board complaining that I'm not centrist enough for him ... Because thats really what your issue is.

 

I get all that man. I've probably seen the devastation, repeatedly, as much as anyone here. And I am from SWF so seeing the tragedy breaks my heart...But why dont you make the same claim about the feds? Biden's top priority should be SWF, not Puerto Rico.
