Starr-Bills

When you frame it like that…

Great guy, all about freedom, what could be more free than seizing private business and endowments and extra constitutional actions. Muscular ones. Cool guy.

No. My point is the same they (or my reference could be doing something useful rather than stroking his ego for an event) fema is also the majority of the response, local agencies aren’t helicoptering people off roofs or flying in supplies but they certainly can help identify areas of need etc. they are delivering millions of meals, millions of gallons of water, fuel etc.. obviously you didn’t read the link or the text from the link, it is referring to the communities it help ensuring everyone get what they need, or maybe you and I just read English differently. he is references hundreds of times, many of his people helped write it, heritage foundation helped him pick his justices and until it was obviously unpopular (since it wants to destroy the constitution and the federal government) but sure you can pretend he isn’t going to give them the keys to the car once he gets in. I mean the article from 2017 where he with held aid to NC until the gov kissed his ring, kinda like he did to Ukraine with aid, but some how you think this guy want to help anyone but himself? Sigh. Okay. and performative attacks on me, apologize to my parents? Puppet? I’m talking about helping fellow Americans what are you talking about, some idea that fema is useless and we should rely on religious orgs or kind billionaires to help each other out? I fundamentally disagree, great thing about this country for now is we can disagree and it’s just posts passing in the night on this random message board. not sure why you want to fight me, but you do you.

Nice brick wall he built and all those clean matching shirts. 100-200 people who could be doing something useful who are instead stroking his ego. People actually doing something… and incase you forgot.

the actual text. #1 is making sure communities are taken care of equally, not hiring. Again not sure who you are helping with this garbage. “This Strategic Plan identifies three ambitious goals we must achieve to address these challenges and to ensure we continue to be the FEMA our nation needs and deserves. First, we must instill equity as a foundation of emergency management. Systems that foster inequality serve no one, especially in times of crisis. We must recognize that disasters affect individuals and communities differently, commit ourselves to reducing barriers to access, and deliver equitable outcomes for all whom we serve. Second, we must lead the whole of community in climate resilience. We must recognize that we are facing a climate crisis and educate ourselves and the nation about the impacts our changing climate pose to the field of emergency management. We must integrate planning for future conditions, move away from incremental mitigation measures, and focus on large projects that protect infrastructure and community systems. Third, we must promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation. We must recognize that the demands on emergency managers will only continue to increase. We must lean into this as a shared responsibility to prepare the nation’s emergency managers and ready ourselves and the larger federal government to meet an expanding mission.”

why are you mad at me? I want to see the people there helped, and I hate to see this misinformation and performative stunts foisted upon them. Seriously get your head out of your ass. The equating with Ukraine aid is specifically a Russian op. And specifically not helpful to the people, the Americans who need assistance. relying on the kindness of strangers is also not a plan. Sure it’s nice a helicopter or two show up with some bottled water and Doritos but what happens 2 day, 2 weeks, 2 months from now. Want to go fast go alone, want to go far, go in a group. the talking points about DEI etc are just stupid. The fact that most of the roads highways and bridges accessing the are have washed out is the real reason aid is taking time to get to people. Again let’s not make this political, there are no points to win other than helping people recover from this storm, and rebuilding in a way to defend against this type of event again. And maybe next time we vote we all should elect candidates who want to do the work of government and not performative asshats.

Has his campaign coordinated with people on the ground or are they going to have to stop what they are doing to help people and instead stand around and stroke his ego for a photo op. Seriously how is this helpful to anyone not named Trump?

***** off. This is a Russian talking point and not helping the people there. Hell even NC seems normal and actually concerned about the people, it takes happening to people he knows and or places he’s been but still. Used Bradly’s or anti air missiles are not going to help. The WH along with the states declared an emergency prior to the event and billions are being spent as we speak. And it is completely false that the funding got Ukraine or Israel or the 100’s of other countries we send money or aid to is in any way taking away from resources for emergency response. The destruction is like nothing we’ve seen and this region is particularly hard to access (I’ve ridden bikes all over there area) with the mountains and rivers and washed out bridges and roads. Would I like to see more and better coverage in the national media, yes. This is a catastrophe, and only weeks from it starting to get cold, which is a whole other problem for the residents. Does a photo op from the pres or the candidates help these people? No it i\just gets in the way, let’s support the emergency response teams, maybe if you have so much time post these stupid and decisive memes maybe you have time to click on a donate button or to volunteer to cook meals. Making this political is terrible, and uncalled for.

How do you say I’m a hypocrite without saying I’m a hypocrite? No one here is saying you blocking people is censorship what we’re saying when we say free speech absolute blocking us is that you’re not a free speech absolute because you won’t or are too scared listen to everybody not that it’s some violation. We’re not the government. The constitution only protects you from the government censoring you.

Don’t be so stupid. Millions on meals, water and fuel etc… since you can’t click a link Approved Emergency Declarations Before Landfall Before Helene made landfall, the Governors of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina submitted emergency declaration requests that President Biden swiftly approved. These declarations authorized FEMA to provide assistance for emergency measures to save lives, protect property, public health and safety, and fund other emergency response measures. The Federal government proactively pre-positioned personnel and resources across the region before Hurricane Helene made landfall, including power restoration teams for temporary emergency power, search and rescue equipment, meals, water, generators, and equipment to assist communities and states with impacts from the storm. The Administration, through the Department of Health and Human Services, declared a Public Health Emergency for the states of Florida and Georgia. This gives the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) health care providers and suppliers greater flexibility in meeting emergency health needs of Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Supporting Ongoing Emergency Response Efforts At the President’s direction, before Helene made landfall, 1,500 Federal personnel were deployed to the region. Urban Search and Rescue has deployed a total of 14 teams (940 personnel) to affected states. In Florida, eight teams are positioned to respond, and all are equipped with Swift Water Rescue Capabilities. In Georgia, two teams with water capability have been deployed to support rescue operations. In North Carolina, four teams all equipped with Swift Water Rescue Capabilities are in place. The U.S. Coast Guard crews will continue to respond with vessels and aircraft to assist search and rescue activities. Approximately 8,000 personnel are working on the Coast Guard response. They will continue to respond to urgent distress calls to save lives and assist those impacted by the storm. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has two teams prepositioned to provide temporary emergency power, with additional personnel deployed and other are prepared to deploy if needed. In addition to temporary emergency power, personnel will assist the states with infrastructure assessments, debris management and temporary roofing assistance as needed. They have activated six emergency operation centers in the region to coordinate operations. The Department of Health and Human Services deployed two Health and Medical Task Forces to assist hospitals and other critical care facilities with any impacts as a result of the storm. FEMA’s Surge Capacity Force is activated, which enables the deployment of additional disaster staff within the Department of Homeland Security and across the Federal interagency to assist in the areas impacted by the hurricane. The Federal government pre-staged more than 2.7 million meals, 1.6 million liters of water, 50,000 tarps, 10,000 cots, and 20,000 blankets in the region to support sheltering needs in impacted communities. FEMA pre-positioned tanker trucks with 70,000 gallons of diesel fuel and 40,000 gallons of gasoline to surge to impacted communities once the storm has passed to help alleviate any fuel shortages. Prior to the storm, FEMA also helped source hundreds of ambulances to assist with the movement of any patients out of impacted hospitals or other facilities. Supporting Communities and Infrastructure Following the Storm’s Impact The Department of Energy’s Energy Response Organization is activated and closely monitoring impacts and restoration efforts related to Helene, including power, fuel, and supply chain interruptions. Via the Electricity Sub-Sector Coordinating Council, the Department also works continuously with electric utilities across the country to strengthen post-storm power restoration efforts. The Environmental Protection Agency is working closely with Federal, state, local, and Tribal partners to help protect water systems, prepare for debris management, and ensure facilities, including Superfund sites, maintain critical public health and environmental protections. EPA stands ready to mobilize additional staff after the storm passes and as clean up and recovery efforts begin. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has made information available from the HHS emPOWER program, a partnership between the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, to support public health emergency planning and response activities. The program provides valuable information on the number of Medicare beneficiaries who rely on electricity-dependent durable medical equipment and certain health care services, such as dialysis, oxygen tanks, or home health care, to help anticipate, plan for, and respond to the needs of at-risk residents in areas impacted by the storm. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) notified Public Housing Authorities, multifamily, and healthcare facility owners to implement all appropriate protocols to prepare for the storm and ensure the safety of their residents. HUD is and will continue to work with the Public Housing Authorities, multifamily, and healthcare owners and homelessness assistance partners to determine damage impact and resident displacement. HUD will also be developing vacancy lists of HUD-assisted projects that can be used to provide temporary and/or permanent housing to disaster survivors. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service approved Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ request to provide operational flexibilities in all of the state’s school lunch programs – which will enhance flexibilities for meal service during unanticipated school closures. The Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration aerial teams are being deployed to provide valuable observations of impacted communities to understand the scope of the storm damage and to support disaster response by Federal partners. To ensure navigational safety, NOAA experts work around-the-clock after a storm acquiring and processing data to speed the reopening of ports and waterways by verifying water depth and identifying dangers to navigation. Additional personnel from the Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Department of the Interior, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Energy, and Department of Health and Human Services are deployed to assist with response and recovery efforts.

White House fact sheet for hurricane response.

Well you fit in then.

She took an oath, she should have known better. She should have complied. It wasn’t simply trespassing, she broke in, was breaking a window to get access to congress members, she was warned not to enter the window, she knew he was armed. she decided to ignore all of that. I’m not happy any of it happened that day, and that she was shot, but she made the decisions that lead to her own death, and disgraced her service to the country. you NC, however are even worse supporting an attempt to over throw our government, throw out millions of votes and install an authoritarian dictator by making excuses and spreading falsehoods and foreign propaganda.

Can’t believe that this event is not on the front page of most “news” sites.

You sure like trying to tell people what to do. Why don’t you announce you’re blocking me if you can’t handle free speech. What a child.

Different point of view huh. Calling immigrants animals, taking away body autonomy from women, wanting to throw out votes or start a civil war if you don’t get your way, wanting to strip SS, Medicaid Medicare from millions, wanting to get rid of the ACA, etc etc etc. ***** your different opinion, you are supporting a corrupt fool who has and will continue to sell out the country for his personal gain, and cause tremendous suffering. But sure Ron is the hateful one. You are like a 5th grader sitting in the back of class laughing that you disrupted the teacher and no one else gets to learn. Grow up.

Thanks for the free rent in your head, I’ll air b&b it, pure profit. And you say you’re not a socialist.

maybe Babylon B Man you should try reading the whole post, but I get it, pearls before swine and all. Where is the lie, show little old me who is helpless understanding the world without your guidance B_Man, the same guy I might add, who thinks Babylon bee is trusted news source (or he’s their social media manager) with the number of their posts he makes. honestly is is sad to see that you are so willing to sell out your fellow Americans, working and middle class people, for this idea that your “cool” because you repeat what the wealthy say. It’s like trying to suck up to the popular kids who really despise you.

You guys are really into my 80+ mom. I don’t kink shame so if it works for you go for it. this need to think I’m someone else however is pathological, trying to diminish or dehumanize by trying to take my name away. As if you can’t believe how unpopular your ideas are so it must all be the same person who calls it out. As the felon says, SAD.

This is not just dumb, this is sick. Super wealthy and pampered guy telling people to hate who they are. being middle class is no excuse is that what he is really trying to say? No excuse for what, not jumping high enough for your wealthy boss. And NC sharing this as if it’s some kind of badge of honor (and Per-Irv taking a break from his nailing 80+ year old moms to thank him). Insane. i think this is an attack on Harris reference her middle class up bringing, a statement to show that she understands the needs and issues of middle class voters. However since the felon and road kill is free meat have grown up as pampered babies and have no idea what normal people deal with they need to discredit “middle class” as a term of value, and a life of value. It s gross and disgusting and blatantly obvious ploy, yet these self loathing “independent” thinkers lap it up, and ***** it back out to the rest of i\us as some brilliant insight and dig at Harris. it’s so gross. The wealthy don’t give a ***** about anyone but themselves but there aren’t enough of them, to win a vote so they have to convince the masses to hate themselves and to vote for the wealthy. In marketing this is called “aspirational marketing”. Usually used when marketing toys/food to kids by making them feel like they are older/more grown up. You are middle class and it sucks to struggle so vote for the rich guy because you aspire to be rich. Anyone who supports these ***** who spreads their propaganda the real “independent thinkers” here, want to live on a plantation and be told what to do. Mudsills’ all. Noun mudsill (plural mudsills) The lowest sill of a structure, usually placed in or on the ground. (figuratively) A particularly low or dirty place/state; the nadir of something (see rock bottom) The Pre-Historic Era was the mudsill of human development. (dated, Southern US) A person of low status or humble provenance. quotations ▼

Didn’t you announce this a few weeks ago? This is almost as strong a move as quoting yourself.

Saving humanity one lie at a time…

It’s broken why doesn’t it work. in both cases the felon was quite guilty, I think we can all agree. In both cases a few republicans put country over party and voted to convict. Hell even Moscow Mitch admitted he was guilty (after voting to acquit), so if republicans weren’t so tribal and hell bent on power at all costs maybe the system would work and impeachment would be the check on power that the founders intended. (Note they also didn’t condone parties). So maybe take it up with those damn liberal revolutionary idealists.

Sure man keep telling yourself that.

She broke into the capital, and refused to compile with orders to stop trying to get through a window towards the congress. If she complied she be alive today. Oh wait right you think LEO are only allowed to kill brown people. Your head is so far up your own ass, it’s a medical emergency.
