Helene of Tories <\/b><\/p>\n

Trump stumps sump dump<\/b><\/p>\n

Bryan Zepp Jamieson<\/i><\/p>\n

September 30th<\/sup> 2024<\/i><\/p>\n

We\u2019re with you all the way, and if we were there, we\u2019d be helping you,\u201d Trump said. \u201cYou\u2019ll be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that the day after Hurricane Helene, by then a tropical depression, had finished wreaking havoc over a quarter of the United States and was coming to a wet fizzley end clear up in Ontario. Helene, as forecast, was a major disaster. The known death toll is mercifully low (91 so far) but the damage will be in the tens of billions of dollars. Many parts of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee were flooded, dozens of roads and freeways washed out, and at least several dams failed.<\/p>\n

When I first heard Trump\u2019s latest burst of idiocy, I remembered how he famously \u201cwas there to help\u201d in the wake of Hurricane Maria in San Yuan, Puerto Rico in 2017. He tossed paper towels to a group of survivors, an action on a par with dropping packets of chewing gun over an area suffering from famine. The BBC reported it this way: \u201cMayor Carmen Yulin Cruz described his televised meeting with officials as a \u2018PR, 17-minute meeting\u2019. The sight of him throwing paper towels to people in the crowd was \u2018terrible and abominable\u2019, she added. Mr Trump tweeted it had been a \u2018great day\u2019 in Puerto Rico.\u201d<\/p>\n

He no doubt would have consoled the people hit by Helene with $10 coupons to use to buy his $500 watches. Trump, after all, is the grift that keeps on grifting.<\/p>\n

Trump and the Republicans had waved away reports that Helene was going to be a monster. Part of it stems from their insistence that global warming is just a myth spread by liberals and communists to destroy American capitalism. Part of it is their libertarian fascist drive to convince people that government agencies such as the National Weather Service and NOAA (which runs the vital National Hurricane Center) are just propaganda organs for the left and serve no useful purpose.<\/p>\n

As the damage became clear, Trump backtracked in his usual awkward and shameless way, saying, on Sunday, that the storm as \u201ca big monster hurricane\u201d that had \u201chit a lot harder than anyone even thought possible.\u201d (Anyone except NWS, every reputable meteorologist in the country, and pretty much everyone with enough weather knowledge to know what \u2018bombogenesis\u2019 means.)<\/p>\n

He criticized Harris for attending weekend \u201cfundraising events with her radical left lunatic donors\u201d in California while the storm hit. \u201cShe ought to be down in the area where she should be,\u201d Trump said. I didn\u2019t notice Trump going down there during the storm<\/b>, did you? In fact, he decided Mar-A-Lago was uncomfortably close to the storm (it wasn\u2019t) and watched from a safe distance\u2014New York.<\/p>\n

Per ABC News, \u201cThe White House said Harris would visit impacted areas \u2018as soon as it is possible without disrupting emergency response operations.\u2019 She also spoke with Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina, and she received a briefing from Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Deanne Criswell while she was traveling.<\/p>\n

Trump, of course, can\u2019t be arsed with waiting until emergency response operations have ended and things shift to recovery mode. He\u2019s going to Valdosta Georgia today<\/b> to swan around. While the water supply is now safe, Valdosta is still under an emergency curfew, much of the town is still flooded, and in addition to the 17 known dead, many more are still missing. He\u2019s going to have his security detail shut down several blocks so he can pose, even as city authorities are begging people, \u201cText. Don\u2019t Call:\u00a0<\/strong>Texting leaves lines open for emergencies.\u201d I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll be a big help.<\/p>\n

No doubt, Trump will blame Harris for the damage. You know he will. I\u2019ll bet the mortgage he will. As far as he\u2019s concerned, any crisis must be used to blame Harris, real or conjured, natural or caused by Republicans. In Trump World, no crisis should go to waste, and the more dead Americans he can blame on Democrats, the better.<\/p>\n

Remember, too that under Project 2025, the Republicans want to eliminate FEMA.<\/p>\n

But since FEMA hasn\u2019t yet been removed as part of the GOP\u2019s Ayn Rand\u2019s hellscape America, it\u2019s still massively useful. If you want to help people in the affected areas, go here: https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/press-release\/20240928\/how-help-after-hurricane-helene<\/a><\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re a Trump supporter, stay true to your principles and send rolls of paper towels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
