Were you affected by hurricane Helene? How do you feel about the government response in your area?

Not directly. I live on the east coast of Florida so it was only like 2.6 inches of rain and some light wind that brought down a couple small limbs from large trees. Just a couple stormy days here. No damage for me. My brother's girlfriends house almost got flooded. The storm surge was like an inch away from going through her front door, but she got lucky. As to government response, well Governor DeSantis is doing a great job as usual. He and the rest of Florida are rapidly responding to resolve the problem in our state and bring services back to normal. DeSantis has even sent some of our people to North Carolina to pick up the slack being that Biden and Harris are incompetent. Trump has also showed up to comfort and lead people and has brought supplies and equipment to people in need. Meanwhile bumbling Biden is off who knows were doing jack shit and offering no more help. Same goes for Harris.

Indirectly the damage to the region will affect us all as a country in many different ways. There is major impacts to agriculture, forestry, mining, manufacturing, and logistics. So food and clothing will go up in price as will housing, semiconductors, automobiles, etc. It's a national problem, but it seems like leadership is coming from the states.

[ProbablyClueless]

I, personally, was not. My brother was in Asheville, though. He and his fiancee were able to get out of the disaster area pretty quickly. Said he's never been that scared for his life before... and based on the photos I've seen, I can believe it.

Biden is generous and willing to share the countries' wealth to help those who are in conditions of desperation and need. Trump once refused to share national funds with the victims of a national disaster and the state had to scramble to find money to save lives.

[goaded]

Puerto Rico?

[jennifer_bloom]

@goaded not just Puerto Rico, I believe it was some kind or hurricane or fire inside America that he refused to send federal funds to aid.

[Agape93]

No but a friend of mine was. House is damaged, road was flooded, etc.

[Asker]

Sorry to hear that.

[gatixek710]

I did not have anything severe, just a lot of rain. I'm not ukranain so I don't expect billions to be flowing into my area to help those who were affected.

[goaded]

Billions are going to the people who do need it.

[gatixek710]

@goaded Maybe they'll get the generous $600 like the people in Hawaii.

[goaded]

Better than being thrown kitchen roll.

[gatixek710]

@goaded Wait, was that an attempt to slam trump? The guy who was on the ground in NC and donated $25,000,000 of his own money to help victims in NC? What have you done to help you piece of shit?

[goaded]

Something tells me that's a pack of lies. Trump's been lying about Biden's response which pre-empted the storm and the governors have been telling the truth about (except the one who delayed asking for help so he could make it sound like the help was delayed).

[gatixek710]

@goaded No one cares what your shit-stain opinion is.

[goaded]

It's not an opinion when it's fact.

"Former President Donald Trump falsely claimed that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp hasn’t been able to reach President Joe Biden to discuss Hurricane Helene's impacts on his state.

“He has been calling the president, but has not been able to get him,” Trump said at a news conference at a furniture store in Valdosta, Georgia.

Yet earlier in the day Kemp, a Republican, said that he initially missed Biden’s call but that he called back and that the two were able to connect Sunday evening."

[gatixek710]

@goaded Yes, it's a fact you are a piece of human garbage

[goaded]

Did Trump lie when he said Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp hadn't been able to contact President Biden, although Kemp had already said he had, or not?

[gatixek710]

@goaded Did you lie when you said Trump didn't donate $25,000,000 of his own money? While you act like a piece of shit and do zero to help?

[goaded]

I didn't say that, but I can't believe it wasn't someone else's money. He's lied so often about giving to charity. Anyway, yes or no: "Did Trump lie when he said Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp hadn't been able to contact President Biden, although Kemp had already said he had, or not? "

[gatixek710]

@goaded he donated $25 million. You're a cunt on the internet. I'll side with Trump

[goaded]

Whose money? Oh, not his, and not $2 million..
eu.usatoday.com/.../

[gatixek710]

@goaded That's in addition to the 25 million of his own money. So thanks, between the gofundme and himself he's helped get $27 million to the people suffering. And you've done nothing. Because you are dogshit.

[goaded]

Why don't you link to anywhere that says Trump gave $25 million?

[gatixek710]

@goaded How much did you raise in your gofundme?

[goaded]

Why don't you link to anywhere that says Trump gave $25 million?

[gatixek710]

@goaded Why don't you tell me how much your gofundme raised?

[goaded]

So Trump didn't raise shit, he's a liar, and so are you,

[gatixek710]

@goaded You just posted he raised $2mil from the gofundme. How much have you raised for the victims of the hurricane?

[gatixek710]

@goaded you just posted his gofundme raised $2 mil. How much did yours raise?

[goaded]

So Trump didn't give shit, he's a liar, and so are you.

[gatixek710]

@goaded How much have you helped you sack of shit?

[goaded]

Why don't you link to anywhere that says Trump gave $25 million? I'm a foreigner on a website, he's a candidate for POTUS. Why would anyone think you're sane?

[gatixek710]

@goaded Yes, and capable of donating money to help people in other countries, correct? Last I checked you could donate to Trump's gofundme. They even take euro money.

Isn't that a better policy than being a cunt on the internet?

[goaded]

So now you're saying it's a gofundme page, not Trump. It's raised $4 million, not $25 million. Trump is not one of the donors. It wouldn't be the first time Trump stole money intended to be charitable donations. There's no evidence that Trump donated $25 million anywhere. Sucker.

[gatixek710]

@goaded I'm asking how much you've given to help the folks in North Carolina.

[goaded]

About the same as Trump, apparently.

[gatixek710]

@goaded Really? Because I see him helping. I see you doing nothing. All the people you shitlibs hate... Trump, Elon, trump voters, Christian charities, churches, rednecks... they're pouring their hearts into saving people and providing assistance. While you fucksticks are doing nothing. You're doing so little you're not even virtue signaling and changing your profile pic to a flag of NC.

[goaded]

No, you don't see him helping, you see Trump lying about how Biden is helping (the orders were signed before the storm hit and Biden has been giving the governors everything they asked for), and that a governor couldn't get in touch with Biden when they'd already announced the conversation hours before. You also see a member of Trump's team setting up a gofundme which got not a penny from Trump.

[gatixek710]

@goaded Can you send me the link to the gofundme you've set up? I'd love to donate.

[goaded]

You can just donate to the one Trump's assistant created.

[gatixek710]

@goaded I've already donated to a private charity, and bought a few hundred dollars in supplies to be sent up. Have you? Time to put up or shut up.

[goaded]

So you've donated more than Trump? Good for you.

[gatixek710]

@goaded How much have you donated? Put up or shut up.

[goaded]

Only the same as Trump, $0. But at least I'm not lying about what's happening.

(Do you remember claiming Trump donated $25 million?)

[gatixek710]

@goaded ok, so thanks for acknowledging you're a piece of shit who has no compassion for other humans suffering. It will be remembered the next time you virtue signal about some bullshit.

[goaded]

OK, so thanks for acknowledging that Trump is also "a piece of shit who has no compassion for other humans suffering", he's given the same amount as me, as far as I can see.

[gatixek710]

@goaded that would be you fuckstick. Even if he didn't donate $25 mil, he's done more than you.

[goaded]

Trump really cares about the American people!

"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."

[gatixek710]

@goaded Ivanka just helped deliver 200 starlink units that Elon gave away. Where have you given?

[goaded]

A photo op using someone else's money. Of course.

[gatixek710]

@goaded still more than you’ve done. Shit stain.

[DextroShade]

The Biden/Harris administration dropped the ball:

It was horrible in Seattle. All those pictures from Florida and North Carolina.

[Lokiion]
