    Bless your heart. My son lives in Boone and my brother lives down river of the Dam that supposedly failed that didn’t. River was +27 feet or something like that. They had no power for a week nor water for 2. My brother moved in with my parents for a month. I was out there every weekend for 3 weeks. Gave my observations here too. You’re a keyboard warrior sitting in your basement.

    NC elected a Dem Gov, Lt Gov, Sec of State, attorney general and education. Only loss was at President. Not feeling in my place.

    So you know people that were affected but you were not affected at all. Got it.

    The “roving bands of armed local Maga militia” storyline was a canard. More social media BS.

    We do have a FEMA supervisor directing FEMA aid workers to avoid house with Trump signs, as if all Trump supports are armed and ready to assault FEMA workers.

    One nut job was arrested and it was proven there was no such militia involved yet this person decided to ignore that. Saying it was for safety is just giving cover for BS.

    Meh the whole agenda isn’t dead.
    There are plenty of people who still subscribe to it. Don’t be fooled.

    Hilarious.

    Hey, I've got a GREAT idea; how about if our national leaders don't tell outright lies about our own government, just to stoke up racist anti immigrant rage?

    Then disaster relief wouldn't be impeded, people wouldn't be motivated to act violently, and aid workers wouldn't feel threatened.

    What a novel concept- national politicians caring about the common good instead of what political gain they could score by telling racist lies?

    Hey, when did (one of) our leaders start behaving in this deplorable way? Around 2015?* ? Interesting....what is the relevance of that year?




    * But to be honest (one of) our (future) political leaders actually began his deplorable national racist lies in 2012 with the whole Obama birther movement.

    So miserable that people not only accept, but embrace this.

    Just for once can you try to stay on topic in a thread without some Trump filled rant?

    I know it’s hard but jeesh Trump has been and continues to live totally rent free in your head. Do you look up at the moon, see Trump’s face and howl?

    LOL. When I see hypocrites, my accurate posts make people like you howl. Maybe "squeal" is more accurate.

    But I'm 100% on topic; Trump's lies about FEMA created a climate where aid workers may have legitimately felt threatened. So (not) sorry if it disturbs you to hear your political hero's racist lies negatively, and accurately, characterized.


    Let's just summarize this entire thread though;

    Trump supporters : "I am OUTRAGED that this government employee didn't make an honest effort to treat everyone equally - that is the exact role of a government employee!"

    Also Trump supporters : "I want the entire government led by someone who tells dishonest racist lies and targets certain groups to create a climate of mistrust and potential danger! He'd make a great government employee!"

    Hypocrites.

    OK, mea culpa. I was wrong.

    I hope this asshat gets all possible punishments.

    Look forward to all the VegasBot mea culpas.

    These aren’t social media stories. Multiple stories and social media blew up with maga lies. I don’t blame them for being careful. MAGA is toxic.

    3 of your 5 links talk about the lone nut who was arrested.
    1 talks about some armed citizens who got into a beef and nobody was arrested.
    The last is from a far left source and cites an unverified report of citizens being met with be National guard (no arrests no corroboration).

    Seems like if there were all these roving bands of militia there would be more than one arrest of a solo nut job.

    Little difference than the packs of armed people that were roving New Orleans after Katrina.

    So FEMA fires people for apparently politicizing disaster relief....
    ....Trump voters elect someone President who did it...
    .... and they STILL whine like hypocrites.

    How is this bot still around? I figured when trump won the bot's would go away until the mid-terms.

    The TDS is strong with this one. It may just be terminal. Too bad, I was pulling for a full recovery.

    That's hilarious if you think that is true. I guess FEMA should have given them an extra day off so they could go to their safe space for a period of time.

    I just laugh at this poster and move on. Bot's aren't worth the engagement. I do that with a few on here unfortunately.

    Yeah, I just had to move on from one in another thread. Some are just too far gone.
