Most of you don't care. I knew that. You only care when it's a Democrat. And you are only faking that you care in hopes of winning over some stupid religious person who actually does care.yeah I couldn't.,.... i don't think having an abortion is a bar to public office...
what illegals?
Migrants Lead Florida's post-Ian Clean-up, Despite DeSantis
Weeks after the Florida governor staged a brazen stunt over migration, migrants are rebuilding his statetime.com
You mean the guy who is now going to use illegal migrants to clean up Florida after Hurrican Ian? THe guy who lied to refugees and mislead them to Martha's Vinyard? Dude, he should be in jail.
Did you see him kissing Biden's ass yesterday? Sucking up for some of that Federal Money?
when did I say anyone was barred from office for having an abortion? Dems should be barred for being dembots, not for abortions.Most of you don't care. I knew that. You only care when it's a Democrat. And you are only faking that you care in hopes of winning over some stupid religious person who actually does care.
So you guys are just pretending to care about seeds in wombs. For your base.
Do you not know that Bush's response to the hurricane in Florida the year before Katrina, Bush rolled out the Federal Government red carpet for those white people in Florida. The blacks in New Orleans? Not so much.what illegals?
Nobody was lied to to go to MV, they signed a consent form and went voluntary....it's tragic what the folks on MV did to them once they got there though
No, I didn't see him kissing Xiden's ass. Why would 't FEMA act after a hurricane? Isn't that there job
There are more then just white people that live in FL...actually a lot of hispanics and african-americans as well....actually they make up nearly half the populationDo you not know that Bush's response to the hurricane in Florida the year before Katrina, Bush rolled out the Federal Government red carpet for those white people in Florida. The blacks in New Orleans? Not so much.
And Rand Paul always says no to disaster relief, until it happened in his state.
Yes they were lied to. That's why DeSanto is being sued my those refuges.
It's not that these conservatives are incompetent or stupid. When their interests are at stake, they can be very efficient. Consider when Hurricane Charley hit Jeb Bush's state - a year earlier than Katrina - on the second weekend of August, 2004, just months before the elections. The White House website notes:There are more then just white people that live in FL...actually a lot of hispanics and african-americans as well....actually they make up nearly half the population
FL folks got lucky in that they had a State and Local Govt that was also on point....New Orleans was not so lucky...and the city is also under sea level
All of this aid was vitally important to Bush family political fortunes in the upcoming election of 2004. Disaster relief checks were in the mail within a week. In just the first thirteen days after Hurricane Charley hit Florida, the White House web site notes that the Bush administration had succeeded in:-- About one hundred trucks of water and 280 trucks of ice are present or will arrive in the Jacksonville staging area today. 900,000 Meals-Ready-to-Eat are on site in Jacksonville, ready to be distributed.
-- Over 7,000 cases of food (e.g., vegetables, fruits, cheese, ham, and turkey) are scheduled to arrive in Winter Haven today. Disaster Medical Assistance Teams (DMAT) are on the ground and setting up comfort stations. FEMA community relations personnel will coordinate with DMATs to assist victims. -- Urban Search and Rescue Teams are completing reconnaissance missions in coordination with state officials.
-- FEMA is coordinating with the Department of Energy and the state to ensure that necessary fuel supplies can be distributed throughout the state, with a special focus on hospitals and other emergency facilities that are running on generators.
-- The Army Corps of Engineers will soon begin its efforts to provide tarps to tens of thousands of owners of homes and buildings that have seen damage to their roofs.
-- The National Guard has called up 4,100 troops in Florida, as well as thousands in other nearby states to assist in the distribution of supplies and in preparation for any flooding.
-- The Departments of Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, and Defense together have organized 300 medical personnel to be on standby. Medical personnel will begin deployment to Florida tomorrow.
-- FEMA is coordinating public information messages with Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and North Carolina so that evacuees from Florida can be informed when it is safe to return. -- In addition to federal personnel already in place to respond to Hurricane Charley, 1,000 additional community relations personnel are being deployed to Atlanta for training and further assignment in Florida.
That, of course, was for a Republican State, with a Republican governor, the crony brother of the President. Republicans needed to act like they cared about governing, because they wanted people to vote for them three months later.-- Registering approximately 136,000 assistance applicants
-- Approving over 13,500 applications for more than $59 million in housing assistance
-- Establishing 12 disaster recovery centers, which have assisted nearly 19,000 disaster victims
-- Deploying medical teams that have seen nearly 3,000 patients
-- Disbursing 1.2 million liters of water, 8.1 million pounds of ice, and 2 million meals and snacks
-- Delivering over 20,000 rolls of plastic sheeting and nearly 170 generators
-- Treating more than 2,900 individuals through FEMA Disaster Medical Assistance Teams, supporting damaged hospitals
Yeah, Republican Govs are far better prepared, and know how to handle a crisis like a hurricane.It's not that these conservatives are incompetent or stupid.

Consider when Hurricane Charley hit Jeb Bush's state - a year earlier than Katrina - on the second weekend of August, 2004, just months before the elections. The White House website notes:
As of noon Monday [the day after the hurricane left], in response to Hurricane Frances, FEMA and other Federal response agencies have taken the following actions:

But now, with no election looming and with death stalking a Democratic State with a Democratic Governor unrelated to the President, we once again see the Reagan philosophy held ascendant. Bush's call to action? "Send cash to the Red Cross." One of those "thousand points of light" non-governmental organizations his father told us about.
"You Can't Govern if You Don't Believe in Government"
In a May 25, 2001 interview, Grover Norquist told National Public Radio's Mara Liasson, "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." Norquist got his wish.www.thomhartmann.com
Yeah, Republican Govs are far better prepared, and know how to handle a crisis like a hurricane.
Let's not forget how the Dems in New Orleans botched it greatly....MS which was hit even harder, did far better the New Orleans due to effective leadership.....100k plus were left in NO, and the city buses remained there,...empty...truly sad.
www.snopes.com
Bush did the same thing,...the issue is the total lack of preparedness by the state and local Govt.You can white wash it all you want. You see the difference between how Bush helped FL 3 months before a midterm Louisiana a year later. Pathetic and obvious.
Blame Blanco
Did Louisiana governor Kathleen Blanco decline a request to declare an emergency?
I remember you lied about this woman and tried to put it all on her. Same way you did to the Flint Mayor during the Flint water crisis. You guys are such obvious liars. Can't help yourselves.
www.nbcnews.com
Blanco has said she asked Bush on Aug. 29, the day of Katrina's landfall, "for everything you've got," requesting 40,000 troops on Aug. 31. The president deployed 7,000 active-duty troops on Sept. 3.Yeah, Republican Govs are far better prepared, and know how to handle a crisis like a hurricane.

Sure. You drove out all of the Democratic voters. Of course a Republican won the next election.Bush did the same thing,...the issue is the total lack of preparedness by the state and local Govt.
Agreed Gov Bush was way better then Blanco...she even recognized that, the people of LA did as well...and elected a Republican to succeed her
How much blame does Gov. Blanco deserve?
The former head of FEMA, Michael Brown, recently blamed much of the failed response to Katrina on the governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Blanco. NBC Senior Investigative Correspondent Lisa Myers takes a hard look at Governor Blanco's performance.
"I believe we are prepared," she said in Jefferson Parish on Aug. 27. "That's the one thing that I've always been able to brag about."
Though experts had warned it would take 48 hours to evacuate New Orleans, Blanco did not order a mandatory evacuation that Saturday.
"We're going to pray that the impact will soften," she said.
Blanco and the mayor waited until Sunday, Aug. 28 — only 20 hours before Katrina came ashore — to order a mandatory evacuation, the first of what disaster experts and Louisiana insiders say were serious mistakes by the governor.
"It certainly appeared that there was a lot of indecisiveness exhibited by the governor in the early stages of the disaster," says Louisiana State Democratic Senator Donald Cravins.
A key criticism: the governor's slowness in requesting federal troops. She told the president she needed help, but it wasn't until Wednesday, Aug. 31 that she specifically asked for 40,000 troops.
That day, in a whispered conversation with her staff caught on camera, the governor appears to second-guess herself.
"I really need to call for the military," Blanco tells an aide.
"And I should have started that in the first call," Blanco adds.
Another key mistake, experts say, was Blanco's lateness in getting the Louisiana National Guard, which she commands, on the streets to try to establish security.
"It would have been better if it had happened sooner," says Jane Bullock, a former FEMA official during the Clinton administration.
yeah Blanco was up for re-election and tried to blame a lot of her mistakes on Bush. we know that.Blanco has said she asked Bush on Aug. 29, the day of Katrina's landfall, "for everything you've got," requesting 40,000 troops on Aug. 31. The president deployed 7,000 active-duty troops on Sept. 3.
While attention has focused on the performance of former Federal Emergency Management Agency director Michael D. Brown, and communications breakdowns that kept Washington from recognizing for 12 to 16 hours the scope of flooding that would drive the storm's death toll above 1,200, the clash over military control highlights government officials' lack of familiarity with the levers of emergency powers.
"Bush's numbers are low, they are getting pummeled by the media for their inept response to Katrina and are actively working to make us the scapegoats," Mann wrote to Ryder. Mann said that Mike McCurry, President Bill Clinton's press secretary, was predicting "a full-blown P.R. disaster-scandal" for Bush by the weekend and that Clinton FEMA chief James Lee Witt was offering to help Blanco. Witt was hired the next day.
With all that in the background, by the night of Sept. 2, relations between the Bush and Blanco teams were tense. At 11:20 p.m., Blanco received a fax from the White House asking that she sign a letter requesting a federal takeover.

who drove them out???? where too? It's certainly true the Bush Admin had to do a lot of the evauations....after the fact, because Blanco and the Dem Mayor failed on the front in.;...is that what you mean?Sure. You drove out all of the Democratic voters. Of course a Republican won the next election.
We all got some of those evacuees. That's okay. They were Democratic voters. Florida got some, Texas got some, etc.who drove them out???? where too? It's certainly true the Bush Admin had to do a lot of the evauations....after the fact, because Blanco and the Dem Mayor failed on the front in.;...is that what you mean?
Had the Dem Gov and Mayor done their jobs, they might not of had to leave the state after the fact.We all got some of those evacuees. That's okay. They were Democratic voters. Florida got some, Texas got some, etc.
BTW, we exposed your bullshit about Hershey being repentant for the things he has done. Because last week he got caught in a lie. You can't be sorry for what you did and then keep lying about it. Comes off as not sincere.Had the Dem Gov and Mayor done their jobs, they might not of had to leave the state after the fact.
It seems their moves to TX and FL have opened their eyes, and they are enjoying the life under Republican leadership in those states.
1) what lie?BTW, we exposed your bullshit about Hershey being repentant for the things he has done. Because last week he got caught in a lie. You can't be sorry for what you did and then keep lying about it. Comes off as not sincere.
But you don't care if he's sincere or if he still beats women. We know this about you. We knew since Clinton you weren't the "Family Values" party.
Hershel is still lying. So if he asked his lord for forgiveness for beating women and making them get abortions, has he also asked for forgiveness for lying?1) what lie?
2) I do care if he beats women....but also know that what he may or may not of done before he got treatment for a mental disorder isn't all that important today, since he has gotten treatment and IDed the problem. Meanwhile the Dem running...who ran over his wife, has no excuse
He also pressured MORE THAN ONE woman to get an abortion.Herschel Walker, Critic of Absentee Fathers, Has a Second Son He Doesn’t See
Not only that but the dead beat and sell out had to be sued in order to force him to pay child support. Further evidence that Republicans are always protecting.
