Biden couldn’t find his way out of a phone booth. He’s unfit to run for another term, but you think he’s making decisions on handling this situation. Do you really think that people knowing that $750 is on the way is going to lift their spirits and help them out? Damn that wouldn’t even cover what they lost from their refrigerator. Let’s keep giving benefits illegals and funding foreign wars though. You people make me sick.

Biden was sitting on his ass on the beach? Are you a complete moron? He has been on top of this from before the hurricane hit and since then has been working the phones and coordinating with the governors to make sure they were getting what they needed. The Navy was in place and he just activated the Army. I actually had hoped that you and your little cabal would have sense enough to have recognized Trump’s lies about how Biden was handling the situation when the Republican governor in Georgia called him out. Should have known better. As far as the money that we are sending to the Ukraine, Biden has authorized millions to be spent on this rescue effort. As for the $750, your problem is that she put a number to it? Really? Don’t you think people should know right now what is coming rather than finding out like it is Xmas morning? You are really scraping the bottom f or something to complain a out. Two last points. Katrina was a disaster and Bush was rightly criticized for it. There was no advance planning at all so FEMA was not in place for days. It was so bad that the White House posted on its own web site that they realized they needed to do better going forward and went through the steps they would take in the future. And Mac, what the hell difference does Harris’s laugh make to whether or not she would be a good president. The answer: absolutely nothing you misogynist idiot.

My daughter lives in the Mtns. No FEMA to be seen. So far, just neighbors helping neighbors. Money does nothing for them right now. No where to spend it or a way to get to it.

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.

I live about 2 hours east of Boone, but what I’ve seen on social media is awful. They say it’s absolute chaos, and rumors swirling that people are being sent away wanting to help. I get that part. If non locals want to help, it might be best if they contact Samaritans Purse, or one of the other organizations that are up there.
@dukesince91, @smashmouth5 and @pisgah101 I feel for you guys.

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.

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.
