Buffalo_Gal Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Sometimes I am sad I block trolls because when a thread gets as derailed as this one, I wonder WTH happened. But, most of the time I am just glad I blocked the idjits. 2
njbuff Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 To put President Trump in the same sentence as Hurricane Florence is as about as demented as it gets. And you Trump-hating morons can't understand why REAL Americans aren't throwing pitchforks at the President, just like you unhinged idiots do. I just shake my head as this goes to show you that you pinheads will use ANYTHING to continue your stupid hate towards Trump.
Tiberius Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 Drew Angerer/Getty Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott, who is running for Senate, and gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis both turned on President Trump in the wake of his Thursday tweets denying that nearly 3,000 people died in Puerto Rico as a result of Hurricane Maria, publicly reaffirming their confidence in the results of the independent study. “I disagree with @POTUS,” Scott tweeted. “An independent study said thousands were lost and Gov. Rosselló agreed. I’ve been to Puerto Rico 7 times & saw devastation firsthand. The loss of any life is tragic; the extent of lives lost as a result of Maria is heart wrenching. I’ll continue to help PR.” A spokesperson for DeSantis took a similar tack, noting that “[DeSantis] doesn’t believe any loss of life has been inflated,” according to a tweet from an NBC correspondent. Democratic Senate candidate Bill Nelson, who will face Scott in the Nov. 6 primary, also criticized Trump’s take: “The president’s comments on the nearly 3,000 American lives lost in Puerto Rico are shameful. We deserve and expect more from someone who holds the highest office in our country.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/florida-gop-candidates-reject-trumps-denial-of-hurricane-maria-deaths
IDBillzFan Posted September 13, 2018 Posted September 13, 2018 4 hours ago, KRC said: Like 240 school shootings in one year, where things like an incident with scissors counts has a school shooting. Or a shooting that occurred at 2 a.m. near a school property, but not involving any students, counts as a school shooting. 1

3rdnlng Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 It would appear that the local and state governments along with FEMA were very well prepared for Flo. They are not out of the water yet but things are looking pretty good considering the obstacles that the Carolinas were facing. 1
