Anyone wonder why Trump and the MAGAs are spreading lies about FEMA? Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that 100 Republicans, including many in Florida, NC, GA, SC and TN, voted against funding FEMA just a few weeks ago. Anyone wonder why MAGA MIke won't bring Congress back to provide more funds for FEMA after Helene and as Milton bears down on Tampa? Because they are all in the pockets of the oil barons. And they don't give a shit about the climate or the people they supposedly represent. They think that they will do just fine in their gated communities, on their megayachts, or in the white only enclaves they will build in Montana, Idaho and the Dakotas. Worst of all, they don't give a shit about the world they are going to leave to their grandchildren. For that reason alone they need to be defeated and defeated badly come November. Our only resort is the ballot box because we are no longer to tar and feather these assholes.
Also, these dumbasses ignore the fact that oil & gas are finite. There is just so much of it they can extract until one day when there is no more of it.
I believe that the shaking hands with Elon, is just the start of funding, paid for by the tax payers, to perhaps to build those domes the Don talks about. He started with Elons travels to the moon, and has recently started talking about it again. These dome cities will be for the elite, and a sanctuary if all does not go accordin to plan. Such as wars, natural disasters, uprisings to take government back! Trump wanted to trade Puerto Rico for Greenland, that already has self sustaining bunkers for the elite, but failed. So now he has a commodery with Elon. Elon new design for vehicles looks like something out of this earth. But Elon needs more funding and Trump is going to see that he gets it, so what is in this deal for Trump that the tax payers will pay for.
You've hit on every bad and destructive decision trump made during his so called presidency. When I read your article this morning ☕ and saw "In Writing" there was just so Much? Where was l when all this shit was happening? It's like there's something wrong with my brain or? We Really need to get trump away from the public and Shut Him Up! There's so much bad coming out of him and his constituents 24/7, I can't think straight anymore?! Or I can't prioritize my thoughts on all the bad shit, because it's All bad shit. Poor Florida and the other states that are going to be effected , and still he just won't Stop the Bad, destructive Language. Thanks for giving us another look at what Bad Desison's Consequences are. Will reStack ASAP 💯👍🇺🇸💙🌊🌊🌊
Karen, you are not alone in wondering where you were when all that shit was happening. I think I was aware of some of the bad stuff, like pulling out of the Paris Agreement, but I had no idea about how bad the aftereffects would be. I agree that we need to get trump away from the public and SHUT HIM UP!!!!! (I like solitary confinement following criminal convictions.)
He's a demented moron. Vote 💙 from the top to the bottom of the ballot. The mess he made and that we've been living with has got to be reversed ... yesterday. The Biden Administration has successfully done a lot to turn all of Trump's incompetent actions around and we MUST keep going foward with what Biden has been able to do. This can only be accomplished with a Democratic WH, Senate and Congress. Again, VOTE 💙 from the top to the bottom of the ballot and vote early if you can. God help us to save the USA and world from the ravages of DJT! 🇺🇸
I am in south Florida. In the last two hours there has been videos of two tornado touchdowns. Thank goodness we have NOAA. My State Representative just sent out a message to heed warnings of possible tornadoes. Just another reason to vote BLUE up and down the ballot. Also vote early if you can. I did on Friday. Our win has to be epic so there can be no cause for republicans to try and steal it.
Thank you. Had a watch and now back to warning. Just keeping Weather Channel on as they have that annoying buzzard that gives you a warming. My heart goes to those on the west coast. Flooding is going to be a big issue.
It wasn’t just trump. The complete republican takeover in N.C. that occurred in 2010 had them rewriting regs for building, making it easier to build in areas that shouldn’t be built in, see Helene damage and all the houses washing into the Atlantic Ocean. They also omitted any and all references to climate change, rising seas, warming in professional studies presented to the legislature so that laws were written and passed without accurate information. They’ve weakened to power of the governor but only after their man was voted out of office after one term and replaced by Roy Cooper. The list goes on and on but I’m pushed for time. I hope if people can vote, they vote every Republican out of office. It won’t happen but I can dream.
I would be surprised if there were many houses left on a good part of Hatteras island. The areas in the middle of the island look very flimsy and I know they suffer badly when storms come through. Republican takeovers in all states are bad for all of us, except the rich bastards. I live in Texas, where we have a governor who thinks that razor wire in the Rio Grande is a good thing. I could go on about Texas, but I'll spare you.
I wonder sometimes if they have this plan to build a huge dome that only the uber rich and their slaves will be allowed into while the rest of the world suffers from the policies they made us live with.
Did you see that movie where Jodi Foster and the rich people lived in luxury on a space station, and Matt Damon and the peons lived down below on a decimated earth? Maybe Dumpy's going for that.
Well, Dumpy is Making America Great Again (in his mind) because POC and the poor are disproportionately affected by climate change and pollution, like the Koch brothers leaving huge slag heaps behind after clearing out of their mining ventures. Dumpy doesn't like the poor or POC, so anything that kills them off faster is making things great again.
This left my head spinning yet again. I had no real idea of how bad the effects of trump's policies were and still are. We have friends in Florida and property in NC (which is far less important than the friends, except that our oldest grandson is living at the NC property), and those are the areas most affected by these monster hurricanes. I just cannot imagine having a mindset that doesn't care about our planet, but only about political points. It's scary and disgusting, and makes electing Harris/Walz even more important.
As much as I detest Trump, I can't blame him for the climate change he fervently denies. It was well underway before he even started to think of being POTUS. I would instead name hurricanes after the oil companies that caused climate change, knew they were doing it, and covered it up.
The GOP has been captured by fraudsters & power by any means authoritarians. The projection & propaganda never stops.
Trump & Vance can’t handle the truth threatening fact checkers, whistleblowers & truth tellers with retribution. https://wapo.st/3XXgHPt
Trump & MAGA whine about booming Bidenomics: 98% of jobs created since 1989 were created during Democratic administrations. Republicans have lost jobs while ballooning the deficit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbPBuk5QoV8
Heather, I understand where you're coming from, but in a way that might be good, because maybe people would finally see what's wrong with voting for him? Someone else suggested naming them after the oil companies. I will suggest hyphenated names like trump/Exxon-Mobil. Or trump/musk…
As Americans suffer and die from climate-change induced, Armageddon-like tidal waves and terrifying landslides, we must create a democracy-saving Blue Wave and record-breaking Democratic Landslide! Vote like there’s no tomorrow . . . ! And tell your friends to step up, too.
American suffers from survivor bias. That is the tendency to not learn from mistakes, because victims are not around to warn about the consequences. The people who were wrong about Covid 19 and paid with their life are not around to say pandemics are very bad and we need to be better prepared. The voters who say we survived 4 years of trump so we can survive 4 more are victims of survivor bias.
STAY ALIVE and stay Hopeful! In a trump "presidency", The MAGA lemmings are the ones who will go over the cliff first. Every trump business failed because Trump is very lazy. He will drive into the ditch. Just buckle up, maybe Harris will win and you won't have to ride in the Trump car.
I really want to stay alive, but knowing how many people are going to be adversely affected by another trump presidency is an awful lot to bear. The worst part of another trump presidency is that it would essentially be a jd vance presidency, and that is, to me, even more unthinkable.

Which explains his fealty to musk
I see more like the movie Solent Green.
Well, Dumpy is Making America Great Again (in his mind) because POC and the poor are disproportionately affected by climate change and pollution, like the Koch brothers leaving huge slag heaps behind after clearing out of their mining ventures. Dumpy doesn't like the poor or POC, so anything that kills them off faster is making things great again.
And makes them White again… (I think that's the definition of "great" in this case.)
Totally agree

I’ve been saying for years that rising sea levels lead to less beachfront. Trump is an idiot.
As much as I detest Trump, I can't blame him for the climate change he fervently denies. It was well underway before he even started to think of being POTUS. I would instead name hurricanes after the oil companies that caused climate change, knew they were doing it, and covered it up.
No one has said that he caused it; he just effectively threw a wrench into steps taken universally to mitigate future damage. Unforgivable behaviour.

In a way, Dean, you're right.. but do Americans need to be reminded of him with every hurricane?!

Hey, let Ron DeSantis in on the inglory! He’s as much a climate ostrich as Trump. And of course, we need MTG to blame it on the Jews!
As Americans suffer and die from climate-change induced, Armageddon-like tidal waves and terrifying landslides, we must create a democracy-saving Blue Wave and record-breaking Democratic Landslide! Vote like there’s no tomorrow . . . ! And tell your friends to step up, too.

I lived through 4 years of the trump "presidency", but if he were elected again I would pray for death to come early.

Please, oh please!
Thnk God he's not president, he'd be the hurricane to protect his ass-sets.
