    You’ll slurp any flavor he serves……derp derp.

    There were 3000+ federal workers providing storm relief as early as this past weekend-how is that “leaving Americans to drown”?

    Another garbage in garbage out post based on the rantings of your god, The Messiah of Mistruth.

    Trump doesn't know how cell phones work? Not surprising I guess.

    I saw she visited and addressed employees at a FEMA Center thanking them for their hard work. That's not the same as getting out on the ground and addressing the folks who are hurting.

    When Helene hit the US, Biden was on the beach per his normal and Harris was partying with her democrat elitist friends in Los Angeles.

    This is nothing new for Harris. Neither she nor Biden went to the Ohio derailment disaster until a year later.

    Harris just over the weekend FINALLY went to the border for a photo opportunity and didn't visit the actual border.

    Harris is a word salad in action and is aloof and out of touch with the American people. Her payback will be on November 5.

    So, you're clearly still mad at Bush for Katrina, right?

    Again, you're wasting your words on these idiots. Dude didn't even make it to the bullet points (if he made it that far) before he was already moving on to his next Hannity/Tucker/Etc. provided talking point. It's an 8th grade insult contest with fools like this. Embrace it. Lean in! Have fun! They're so easy.

    A POTUS or VPOTUS should NOT visit a disaster area in the immediate aftermath of the event. The focus during this time should be human recovery first and foremost. Let the first responders do their jobs. The security required for a high ranking political visit interferes with this.

    Harris thanking the first responders away from the disaster area is appropriate. Biden has stated he'll visit the areas, but only after the area is a bit more stable, and clean up/ recovery has begun. Also appropriate.

    As for the disaster response, the only ones complaining are Trump and his minions, which should tell you something.

    Putting aside party (which is difficult for most) why in the world would local authorities and FEMA want to have to deal with securing sites for elected officials and political candidates trying to give the optics of caring and a photo op while people are still missing, stuck, dead or who knows what else, towns are still flooded, neighborhoods inaccessible etc ? I can’t imagine a more nonsensical waste of resources.

    And I can’t imagine local officials want anything to do with such political kabuki.

    Cur the money loose and get TF out of the way to let trained folks do their jobs is what I want from my pols, not a TIL Tok video of tossing paper towel rolls for a 10 minute photo op like they are Steph Curry shooting 3’s.

    It’s so necessary to point out the MAGA lies. With every day, their lies get more disgusting than the day before.

    Biden keeps re-stating this, which is the obvious, but they keep lying about it. Sure, Trump would be the first to take away from the needed resources to have a “Look at me” moment, but Biden is doing what a leader needs to do—giving all necessary resources while absorbing none of the distractions.

    That’s the difference between MAGA and good leaders.

    You are aware that during the period immediately following a disaster politicians visiting the disaster site for photo ops contribute nothing to recovery and just get in the way and that is especially true of the President and/or presidential candidates who require security resulting in the diversion of first responders who could be performing more essential tasks?

    Bro, look closely at the OP. She’s posing for a photo op with earbuds that aren’t even plugged into her phone and the papers she is supposedly signing are blank. This wasn’t intended to be a debate over the disaster response. Though I suspect you picked up on that and want to change the discussion away from this monumental botching of a photo op. She is a fraud and is not even that good at being one.

    Bro, the phone has a speaker and maybe she's just taking notes while on a call, like most people have done 5,000 times. My exlanation here is certainly as valid as yours.

    Meanwhile, to my larger point and not MAGA's distractive nonsense, where are the people Trump claims are "being left to drown" as referenced in your original post?

    I'll start worrying about this right when I see Trump read out loud from a briefing book or really any book written at a college level. Which will be never.

    I'm certain W is glad to read this. Of course, back then he didn't have the support of internet posters like you. There was just the mainstream media repeating that he didn't care about New Orleans and/or wanted all the people there to suffer.
