Hurricane Helene FEMA and the weak Federal response

[IdeomotorPrisoner]

Yeah, The October Surprise is going to be my nightmare, but hard to redirect how things trend. Biden/Harris get a Katrina. We'll it's kinda getting forced into being a Katrina.

And it doesn't even have to be true..

Politicians and others have spread false information about the response to the storm on social media. For example, some have claimed that the agency has run out of disaster response money and that storm victims can only receive $750 in federal assistance.

Several right-wing influencers have used their large online followings to amplify these claims on X, which has declined to remove these posts or label them as misleading. The trend underscores how election-year politics — combined with lax misinformation policies by major tech platforms — are complicating efforts to keep communities safe.

Some of these influencers that care more about spreading misinformation to manipulate opinion during tragedy, all to trash the FEMA response (to go after immigration policy) all whilst they slap on some foundation of faux-concern, are fucking heartless. Worse than using a mass shooting to ban the weapon used.

"Oh look a disaster. Let's use anything FEMA does that's lacking to call democrats inept and blame immigration somehow. Let's also virtue signal our empathy like we care about anything else but using this to sway people's opinion."

Define callous.

Yet a republican NC Senator had some great things to say.

“I’m actually impressed with how much attention was paid to a region that wasn’t likely to have experienced the impact that they did,” Tillis told reporters, adding, “I’m out here to say that we’re doing a good job, and those who may not be on the ground, who are making those assessments, ought to get on the ground.”

I have also read some isolated communities are just cut off and really hard to reach. And it's nothing more than the logistics of reaching them.

But Newsweek is dead center on the bias and I agree with their assessment.
