Im all about the discussion of the facts and listening to all rational thoughts and ideas, sometimes I have strong opinions, especially in situations like we are seeing in Western NC.  

and yes I felt the same anxiousness and distrust during Katrina and FEMA's response, as  I reiterated the safety and well-
being of its citizens is a top priority of a government. If they failed during Katina they seem to be making some of the same mistakes 19 years later, with one crucial difference New Orleans had Bush's pledge of 10.7 billion towards Katrina's rebuild we will need similar measures for Helene. Bare Minimum, this is not getting the airtime it deserves and it is directly tied to the proximity of the election.   

We should all agree that COVID and its aftermath likely sunk Trump's chances in 2020 how is he seemingly even more popular now?

Ergo somebody somewhere made bad decision after bad decision and more and more America doesn't want that group making decisions anymore. Ironically that same group has made many normal world events politically charged. LIke the marketing and budgeting of the Ukrainian war, where initially we were blasted by blue and yellow flags, whie ironically Myanmar has been fighting for its freedom since before Ukraine flared up hot. Or how subtly the WNBA seemingly has a preference on ESPN where the site used to default to other sports I follow and would usually show up first.

We haven't even discussed Biden's bizarre first-time presser in the White House briefing room, where Biden reassured America, Kamala and he was in full agreement on all decisions of his administration. LOL as the encumbent VEEP and her campaign no doubt groaned about. 

Essentially throwing her under the bus, and not allowing her to separate herself from Biden

Forget the other pressing issues as well as the noise thats never happened in the world of American politics. I know Clinton never said that about Al Gore. 

So your post wasn't too long for me, this is how you get know people instead of guessing who they are and why they think a certain way. We have to find common ground a little mutual respect and learn to tolerate each other. 

These topics need to be discussed here as we need it turn off the emotional rhetoric and rationally learn to live with each other again.

The HMON model shows a category 4 Hurricane Milton taking the worst track possible for the Tampa, FL area. The exact track of Milton is CRUCIAL for who will see the worst storm surge. You do not want this track in the Tampa area
