Bottom line, the Biden administration is doing everything exactly as they should. **** trump and his lies!

Why isn't the 82nd Airborne activated and assisting?

Bush did it for Katrina. Biden's handlers did it for Afghan evacuations.

FFS they're stationed IN North Carolina.

Because they have been told they are heading to the middle east.

Yeah, 16 years ago...talking about a financial crisis, but you do you.

Apparently that triggers the MAGAt crowd who just can't resist turning tragedy into a political opportunity. Shameless.

Biden simply being there hindered recovery operations. So, no, this administration isn't doing everything it can to help save lives.

Being where?

And what precisely did he "hinder" anyway? Please be specific.

But democrats never use school shootings or anything like that for political purposes do they. Guess you do hypocrisy.

And back to the OP. This seems relevant...and deplorable.

Quote:Mark Harvey, who was trump’s senior director for resilience policy on the National Security Council staff, told E&E News on Wednesday that trump initially refused to approve disaster aid for California after deadly wildfires in 2018 because of the state’s Democratic leanings.

But Harvey said trump changed his mind after Harvey pulled voting results to show him that heavily damaged Orange County, California, had more trump supporters than the entire state of Iowa, Harvey said.

The exchange has not been previously reported.

“We went as far as looking up how many votes he got in those impacted areas … to show him these are people who voted for you,” said Harvey, who recently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris alongside more than 100 other Republican former national security officials.

Both Harvey and Olivia Troye, a former trump White House homeland security adviser who backed up Harvey’s claim, say trump is approaching Hurricane Helene with a similar mindset. They say he is politicizing a disaster that has killed more than 170 people in six states. And Troye, who has endorsed Harris for president, accused trump of trying to divert attention from his own political liabilities on disaster responses.

She said if trump wins the White House again, he will view disasters through a political lens that values personal loyalty over damage considerations.

Helene isn’t the first time trump inserted politics into a natural disaster

One must fight fire with fire. Democrats love to accuse republicans of doing the exact same thing they do.

Stalin said “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything" 80 years ago... but American Marxist Democrats still operate that way today.

Your point?

So you claim someone stole the 2020 election...or trump won?

Your evidence?
