      and blame Biden for an imaginary lack of response at the same time.

      There is no such thing as rational arguments to convince zealots, which is the only way to describe Americans who still align themselves with this increasingly dangerous extremist party.

      The right wing propaganda machine only is concerned with fooling the public about anything and everything that will generate the chaos necessary to create favorable public opinion towards a despotic leadership that will morph into a plutocracy.

    3. Trumpers are out smashing Taylor Swift guitars and trying to figure out who’s eating children, cats and dogs instead of figuring out that their own party is fucking them raw …. Keep em stupid in the front yard while we rob them out the back door

    4. Anything to distract from Trump giving NC 1% of the aid they requested when a hurricane hit while he was in office.

      After getting replaced by loyalists, the (unpaid) overtime work would be highly ineffective

    6. Trump is not particularly for his work ethics. The contrary is true – no modern president worked less than him.

    7. Oh we all miss his master paper towel tossing. We definitely don’t prefer the active work in both prevention and restoration being done by THIS administration.

      Like he did for Puerto Rico when he withheld $20 billion in disaster relief funding?

      The Alternate Reality that Fox has created inside the maga bubble is astounding

      & they will never be held accountable

      Even the $800Million they had to payout on the defamation lawsuit did cause them to change

    10. Fox news acting like a group of wee tarts writing their fanfiction fantasies? Never..

      STFU about “if Trump had been president” because he’s not and, God willing, he never will be again.

      So exhausted with this shit. Our country has gone insane.

    12. What do they expect congress to do besides allocate funds for disasters and call for national guard. Only so much can be done. Do they think Biden and Kamala should go to the towns and take out little straws to drink up the flood water?

    13. The government wouldn’t have even known the hurricane was coming because Trump would shut down NOAA on day one.

    14. Can “the people” sue FoxNews so they have to drop the “News” from their name? This is ridiculous.

      People literally die because of those fuckers.

      Yeah, nah. I know Faux viewers will buy that hook line and sinker, but that’s complete bullshit. In a way, if he wins, I’ll be laughing as things fall apart around us. It will ruin our lives if he is ever in office again. But some of our population will deserve it. Completely.

    16. Um.. coughBULLSHARPIE!!!

      ….Also regarding the implications that Biden didn’t and isn’t…

      Fuck you, you lying pieces of shit.

    17. Pretty sure this hurricane took trump by surprise. “Who would’ve expected a hurricane this late in the season”.

      If federal employees would have been working overtime to prepare for this hurricane under Trump, it’s because they are faithful public servants who know how to do their jobs. And they would do so under any president, as I’m sure they did so this time too under Biden.

      These are the people Trump wants to replace with his loyalists. Oh, and he just publicly stated that he doesn’t like to pay overtime, making it even less likely that the lackeys he installs will be working nights and weekends to prepare for the next climate-change-fueled hurricane.

    19. I was driving to work in Orlando and I can say 60%of the highway traffic we’re lineman staging for the hit.  Furthest I saw was from ohio

      Conservative delusion: “Had Trump been president over the last 10 days we’d all have free ice cream, unicorns, and be gajillionaires (except for *those* people…you know the ones).”

    21. Final-Marsupial4117 on

      This is true. They would have had their black sharpies diverting the storms path.

    22. So just for some historical context of why the republican party is pushing so hard on hurricanes right now. We need to go to the long long time ago of 2012.

      Much like now Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast leaving a trail of destruction from Florida all the way up to Jersey and NYC. The race between President Obama and Romney was close with Republicans thinking they maybe had a bit of an edge. But in the aftermath of the hurricane Obama got FEMA and other federal agencies to deliver quick and efficient aid. He was photographed with these governors walking the damage and had tons of reporting of him doing a good job.

      The optics of him doing that is what a number of Republicans think shifted things and prevented president mittens. Like people forget how certain they were they were going to win in a squeaker. Imagine mitt Romney in full on Scooby Doo voice going “If it wasnt for you meddling hurricanes.”

      So the republican media machine is trying to craft the narrative that Biden and by extension Harris screwed this up, because if they do a good job. If the media reminds citizens of NC that Trump left them hanging too much, that could push the state just a little bit more towards tipping to Harris. And if Trump loses NC he’s done.

    23. When is SOMETHING going to be done to fix what these 24 hour “news” channels, especially fox, are doing to our electorate?!?

      They should not be allowed to lie like this. To mislead the elderly and the idiotic. To basically function as the mouth piece of the far right party.

      I sure wish we had people with law degrees willing to band together and put some legislation in place to protect our democracy.
