The idea is that it will help in the immediate to get food, diapers and formula now. Of course there is more coming later. Also, as far as needing to apply on-line,there is also a phone number to call. While this is not ideal, how would you and Mac have them apply? FEMA can’t just walk around handing iut momey to anyone. They need a proceed andrhere are places with power that people can go to. A lot of helping hands driving peoples to places to get power and recharge their phone.

How you can sit there, most likely with a stupid smug look on your face, and say things like "of course there is more coming later." You're dumber than you probably look if you think this is "just about the money." It's the fact that this stupid ass VP of ours even mentions an amount. A better response from the useless windbag? "THE RESIDENTS OF THE MOUNTAINS OF NC HAVE BEEN DEVASTATED BY THE HURRICANE, AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS TO GET THEM A LITTLE FINANCIAL BREATHING ROOM, ALONG WITH MUCH NEEDED FOOD, WATER, AND OTHER SUPPLIES."

Have you ever been to the mountains of NC? This isn't the lush area you (and many of us) probably live in.

It is not money that they need RIGHT NOW. Where are they buying food, diapers and formula? Jesus christ, you're as clueless as Kamala.

To defend our government, especially FEMA, is like praising the Fire Department for getting to a house fire a couple hours after it started. The "only" help the residents of the mountains of NC got for several days was by citizens. Also, how could we watch videos of this on Tik Tok last Friday, but it was several days later before the MSM aired it? This is 2024, you mean to tell me NO ONE from the media has Tik Tok?

I realize no one saw this happening in the mountains, but this is beyond ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as our liberals posts on here. Stop saying idiotic things, and you won't be called an idiot.

I watched an interview with someone who just got connected yesterday because of starlink. They said that the only people who anyone has had contact with were citizens who were going door to door checking on people. But because FEMA is in Asheville, that means that the government's response has been spectacular. The people who were going door to door were carrying 5 gallon buckets of water so they could help people flush their toilets. You know the government ain't doing that. But they'll write you a check!

Yep!! Boog it's really about what I expected(although I swear I thought we'd get one in San Diego). We overcame great adversity just to sneak in playoffs considering a rash of injuries I hope we never see again. Strider and Acuna out virtually all year, Riley, Ozzie and others missing significant time. Simply a snakebit season.

You figure things have to go better next year. We'll see what goes down in offseason. Morton expected to retire(if not he won't be retained), Freeman is eligible for free agency(will we make him a big $$$ offer)? Also, rumor has it Ozuna is done in Atlanta. We'll see.

Help is everywhere. But that doesn't mean it is because of the government. The government's response has been abysmal. Like I said, if you want to see how bad the response is, compare this to Katrina and then wonder why you would say this has been a good response when G.W. was criticized heavily for his response. Biden was sitting his ass on the beach and Kamala was living it up with celebrities. Could you imagine the response to that if this were a republican administration? But fvck off, not responding to you again on this topic either. You can't be the least bit critical of your team. People you know say help is everywhere, wow. Hopefully they get internet soon so they can apply for their $750. If they qualify.

FEMA is everywhere. The federal govt you constantly want to downsize and exorcise from people’s lives is everywhere and you’re still whining about the govt you want to downsize not doing enough.

You get your info from right-wing Twitter hacks. I get mine from people on the ground.

Datt and Sdevada will fight tooth and nail defending the response by our government, and making excuses for "their" side. These two are as out of touch with reality as our government is. Who is the President right now, Cackles or Ol Joe? It's like asking who the tallest midget is, but Ol Sleepy could fly over the mountains of NC and he'd think it was the Amazon.

On Cackles, the dipshit said what she said in Georgia. This broad is useless. The money being offered to the residents of the mountains? You may as well just spit in their faces and call them uneducated, cousin kissing rejects. That's what you're saying by offering $750.

Instead, keep pumping money into Ukraine, or helping immigrants.

It's infuriating. My house just got washed away, can't find my family, can contact anyone, have nowhere to sleep, no job and someone shows up with a check for $750. Ha. What the hell am I going to do with that? Can't eat it, can't drink it. These people are nuts.

Miami is the local school plus NIL. But there is no comparison to the Duke basketball family and program. If the Boozer twins want the best chance to develop and get ready for the NBA it’s really a no brainer. The other benefit is Coach Scheyer will definitely be here longer for Cayden assuming he stays at least a few years. Hopefully they decide for development/roster over NIL. It’s sounding like we will all find out their choice in a week. LFG join the Brotherhood

Nope. A thousand times nope. President Biden has sounded like a fool trying to talk about it, but the response has been immediate. FEMA is everywhere. I have two of my own kids and countless friends and former students who live in the mountains and they’ve seen help everywhere, from Asheville to Boone.

But go ahead and make it political.

This couldn't have happened at a worse time for the people in western NC. We have a dead lame duck President and a lame duck governor who is mostly known for vetoing bills North Carolinians support than he is for representing the people.

He vetoes terrible bills supported by a small percentage of NC residents who control the GA due to gerrymandering. And you have the ability to override every one of those vetoes so NC is entirely controlled by the GOP. You ought to be claiming victories for the response. It would be equally political, but positive for once.

I am sure we can all agree that this administration's response to the hurricane has been abysmal. Or is there some whataboutism and explanations to be shared?

This is why North Carolina ranks so low on K-12 education. We have teachers spending time making fools of themselves on a college basketball message board when they should be focusing on furthering the education of their students.

I posted at 7:49am and 3:17pm yesterday. You don’t even know school hours, let alone understand what’s wrong with public schools. But keep voting Republican so it can get worse.
