Hurricane Helene Fallout Shows Why America Can’t Afford Another Potemkin Presidency
Quote:Americans throughout several southeastern states are enduring catastrophic devastation caused by Hurricane Helene. So naturally, America’s lamebrain Democrat president and vice president are missing in action.
After making landfall in Florida late last week, the Category 4 hurricane ripped across the Southeast over the weekend, producing massive flooding and mudslides. At least 110 people across six states are reported to have been killed as of Sunday night, according to The New York Times.
Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee were among the regions hardest hit by the storm. According to the Associated Press, residents in Asheville, North Carolina, had to be airlifted from a hospital due to floodwaters engulfing entire roadways throughout the city.
Yet, despite such widespread suffering among the people they were elected to serve, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris — the latter of whom is running to be our next president — seem to have bigger things to worry about.
As my colleague Tristan Justice noted, Biden spent most of his weekend lounging around on Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. Meanwhile, Harris reportedly attended a campaign event in San Francisco on Saturday and a fundraiser in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon. She concluded her weekend at a political rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday night.
The White House has issued statements from both Democrats and a “fact-sheet” on what actions it’s supposedly taking to help local officials address the crises.
But beyond their truth-deprived base, those of us who’ve closely watched this dumpster fire of an administration for the past three and half years know better than to believe that Biden and Harris are actively managing the federal government’s Helene response. If anything, many Americans have accepted the unfortunate reality of major policy decisions being made by an unelected Democrat oligarchy.
Neither Biden nor Harris has the stamina or capability required to direct a government-wide disaster response. Both Democrats have demonstrated on multiple occasions they possess worse management skills than Dunder Mifflin’s Michael Scott. Does the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal ring a bell for anyone?
Under this administration, the U.S. presidency has become a Potemkin village. Biden and Harris are trotted out to give big speeches and attend formal events with world leaders, but nobody with a lick of commonsense genuinely believes either one is really running the show. Think of them as the real-life version of the Wizard in “The Wizard of Oz.”
But don’t take my word for it. Look no further than Biden, who’s repeatedly said he’ll get “in trouble” with White House staffers for going off script. I’m sorry, but since when does the president take orders from unelected bureaucrats?
Should — heaven forbid — Harris win this November, Americans can continue to expect their country to be run by these same unelected left-wing forces. If they won’t allow her to regularly engage with friendly media who throw her softball questions, they’re sure as heck not going to allow her near the powers that come with the U.S. presidency.
America can’t afford another four years of a Potemkin president who cares more about shipping endless amounts of taxpayer money to Ukraine than the suffering of her own citizens. Whether enough Americans believe that to be true will be learned soon enough.
Quote:Biden thinks questions about Yemen are about labor disputes. He can't really handle the response to anything, let alone a major natural disaster involving over 100 dead across multiple states.
Why was Kamala in San Francisco raising money instead of back in Washington, DC coordinating the disaster response? It's a completely fair question to ask when the current commander-in-chief is too debilitated to run for reelection. Who is running the country?

Quote:Just spoke to a US Military insider about the efforts for Hurricane Helene. Here's what I was told:
The 82nd Airborne Division is known as America's "Global" Response Force. They have the ability to have thousands of paratroopers anywhere in the world in 18 hours. They provide combat capability, but also helicopter airlift, stand up hospitals, and other support.
They responded to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
The 82nd responded overnight to fly thousands of Afghans out of the country during the withdrawal.
Less than 1/3 of the entire division is on the "global" alert status. Meaning there are thousands of members potentially available to render aid with a simple command.
So the question is why even a fraction of the 82nd can't be used to support relief efforts in the same state in which they are stationed (North Carolina)? For whatever reason, they are unavailable for this effort.
As of now, they haven't been alerted for hurricane support.
They can be on the ground and in the sky within hours, organizing airlifts, building hospitals, bringing aid.

These idiots still think MUH CLIMATE CHANGE causes hurricanes. They are just stupid people, and are equally as incompetent as they are stupid. Kumswala’s campaign has already conceded NC and Georgia or else she’d be making some public effort to help them out. Obviously she knows she has a better chance of building snowman in Key West than she does winning FLA and she has even less chance of winning SC or Tennessee. As for Biden, the lights are on but no one is home

Biden* and Harris simply don't give a healthy sh1t about citizens in need UNLESS it is in a major Dem controlled city. Those citizens enduring zero support in NC, SC, and GA - must simply TOLERATE IT.

Fallout?
It's been a couple days.
Meanwhile your cult leader sticks his fat red hat into the disaster to use a tragedy for his own personal gain. They built the SOAB a wall out of the bricks from a collapsed building so he could stand behind them for his photo op! Who took time to build that? Who took time to arrange semi-trucks to secure the area where he spoke? Seems like those guys could have been helping somewhere, right?
And what have the governor's said? Yeah, all have said they are getting what they need, regardless of their politics. And as X pointed out, trump withheld aid to NC when he was president that the governor said was needed.
Were the federal declarations not done or withheld? Were they late? No, they were early.
Is FEMA not mobilizing?
Is the NG not mobilizing?
Again, yes, they are.
But oh ****...Biden and Harris weren't filling sandbags...yeah...the states don't want them there yet as they just divert resources. And please tell me you guys know that it's ******* 2024? You can manage all this via phones and other communications channels. You don't need a president there shouting through a bullhorn!
And then you have that POS trump, wearing a campaign hat, LYING to all who will hear that the government is not trying to help you...and that Biden hasn't or won't talk to the governors.
It's ******* deplorable...and the replies here from the posters are equally disgusting.
