• Flood

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/200 to All on Mon Jul 7 00:19:54 2025
    I love President Trump and I always will, but he needs to get his ass over to Texas to (at least) comfort the flood victims' families. He needs to at least act like he's facing re-election.

    Because his absence gives firepower to the media, and that's not what we need.

    He's too busy with other things. But he did send over the Federal resources that can actually help - like Blackhawks with thermal imaging to see people who need rescuing, and the Coast Guard.

    The best management are the ones who direct in the people who can actually do things and then get out of everyone's way to let them do their jobs.

    Aaron, stop for a moment... All Federal assets are employed, there is a dialog between all levels of Government. Things are progressing.

    Think about this for a moment... What would have been Biden's response... Recall the Hurricane... He had FIMA avoid Trump supporters. Think about how Democrat leaders would have handled this... Gavin?? recall the fires... Welp, now we have Republican leaders leading.

    The Republican leaders are doing what they should be doing. If the State asks the Feds for help they are given it. And the Leaders of said state are leading.

    Unlike George W during Katrina where he stood by to watch the idiot Governor completely screw up.

    BTW, I was without power for a week because of Katrina... I would go get bottled water, the locals called it Floodweiser... The State of Florida is ran by Republicans and have never looked as bad as their counter parts... Like Gavin or the Democrat Governor Kathleen Blanco, a Democrat, who was the Governor of Louisiana at the time of Katrina.

    Let Greg Abbott work his magic and Trump will be there soon enough... AOC is too busy with Alligator Alcatraz to go for a photo op by a fence somewhere in Texas.

    I didn't know that, but I'm glad, and I'm sure he's doing everything he can.

    He's smart so he doesn't takes cues from the media, but dumb asses do, and that's why we need Trump on TV, in Texas, wearing a raincoat.

    I'm confident that it's being handled good, and Trump's not a paramedic or a fireman, but there's like 80 people dead and he's hosting a meeting with Netanyahu ahead of visiting Texas. He should be there meeting with the families or something. I bet that would make them feel better.

    I appreciate the man. He's got millions of tasks to complete, but one of the most important ones is to help us win again in 2028. This could be a missed opportunity. He missed opportunity during the George Floyd terror riots too.

    He basically told the state officials "Whatever you need, just let me know."

    They responded right away and within hours, the manpower and equipment were on the scene.

    How unlike the Democrats.

    He's smart so he doesn't takes cues from the media, but dumb asses do,
    and that's why we need Trump on TV, in Texas, wearing a raincoat.

    At this point, I don't think most of us care about what the dumb asses think. Partly because of whatever Trump does, it won't be right. So there's no winning there.

    Based on the information that I could find, Trump got 2.3 million more popular votes than Kamala. That's a lot, but Trump is a very likeable guy. We need all hands on deck and no opportunities lost for the next candidate.

    Yup. It took the Elitists several decades to mess everything up. It won't be fixed in 4 years.

    We need another strong, "drain the swamp" administration for at least the next 10 years.

    The problem is how. With all the younger people getting fed the
    misinformation or being indoctrinated into the communist teaching
    party, the set is staged. It's getting harder for the young people
    to think for themselves.

    It has to be a multi-pronged solution. There's no way we can deprogram these people. The good news is that the clock is ticking on them because they've probably been multi-jabbed so they will die off sooner than the rest of us.

    Trump took care of part of the problem: funding. He turned off the tax dollar laundering that was funding these people. Now they have to get real jobs in the real world. There's an old joke: A conservative is a liberal who got mugged by reality.

    Companies are playing their parts too by getting rid of their DEI depts. Now a bunch of useless people have to get jobs that will pay at their skill level (i.e. minimum wage - and now you know why they keep pushing to get the minimum wage raised).

    Society is taking care of another part which is not being tolerant of the Woke BS.

    "Harder for the young people to think for themselves." Self defeating statement. The problem you have with them is they do not think like YOU do, not that they are not thinking for themselves. Reminds me of a classic Frank Burns quote from the television show M*A*S*H, "The way I see it. Unless we each conform, unless we obey orders, unless we follow our leaders blindly. There is no possible way we will remain free."
