Appalachia's Katrina: Does Anyone Care?

[August West]

I'm astounded (or not really) that the MSM seems obsessed with Hezbollah halfway around the world. Meanwhile, Asheville NC and surrounding areas are decimated and cut off from modern civilization. At least 50 people have died and maybe more. Not the big story I guess.

However much we hate the MSM, it's not enough. Not nearly enough.

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper announced Saturday evening that 10 people have died due to Hurricane Helene.

"The catastrophic devastation to western North Carolina is like nothing we have ever seen," Cooper said in a statement. "Emergency responders are working around the clock coordinating rescues and getting resources to help people with their immediate needs as they work to save lives."

Since Thursday, over 200 people have been rescued through water and helicopter rescues in the state.

Hurricane Helene live updates: 52 dead in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia

Helene made landfall in Florida's Big Bend region Thursday night as a massive Category 4 hurricane -- the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the Big Bend on record.

It looks like MSM is hoping for a new Mideast war involving American soldiers that would drive their ratings. I`m in favor of walking away from this crap as quickly as possible.

No idea what you are rambling about. I doubt you do either.

What I'm "rambling" about is the fact that we don't have anyone even remotely resembling a President or a Vice President in the White House right now. The former is on permanent vacation, and tha latter is running around the countryside, thinking people are stupid enough to elect her to the highest office in the country.

What is it you think the POTUS should be doing at this moment?

A real President would at least show up. Maybe fly over the scene of the disaster, stop, talk with residents, ask them what they need....

You know, like something Trump would have done.

How has that affected your life? It's made absolutely zero difference in mine.

Which has what to do with the issues people in disaster areas have to face?

People trying to get supplies being held up by presidential motorcades does wonders for the issues I suppose.

President show up for themselves, not the people.

Obviously you know nothing about how the fact that just showing up helps the morale of the people.

But at least Ukraine got another $8 billion last week, right?

No surprise here.

I guess I do not. I guess I'm no fan of............................

Kamala is looking at it holistically as she goes for photo ops and discusses being raised in a middle-class family while being unburdened by what has been, holistically.

So what are you a fan of, besides "Everyone is icky but I really hate Trump and won't criticize the Democrats much because Trump is ickier"?

I'm no fan of Harris nor do I believe she understands the word either but just because you don't understand something is not a reason to dismiss or make fun of it.

Cult thinking. I suppose condemning Democrats on their war mongering isn't much. I suppose condemning their spending isn't much. I suppose condemning them picking Harris isn't much. Noting Obama was nearly a total failure isn't much.

I don’t know what you have been watching, but Hurricane Helene has been all over the news for the last few days.

There are also other news stories that get covered.

Thankfully, our Socialist Nation will be helping those impacted by the hurricane

Why?

It is the stupidest thing they could fucking do. If they show up then tons of resources that could be used to helping those in need have to be diverted to keeping the POTUS safe.

Yes, Trump would have shown up so he could have a photo op, because that is all the matters to him.

Harris and xiden just don’t care about the people

neither do you.

Seriously? The lady can't speak, repeats the same lines and words multiple times in the same thought, is the queen of word salads and avoids conversations without her teleprompter. If you can't explain something simply, then you don't understand it well enough, and Kamala continues to demonstrate this.

Odd, I'm pretty sure I stated that I doubt she understands the word so what exactly do you feel you are disagreeing with me on?

How is this any different than Trump?

One thing about it, if they moved all of the residents to a city like after Katrinia I bet the city would be better for it.....Unlike Houston, TX.
