President Biden called Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday about the major disaster declaration he signed for the state in response to Hurricane Idalia.

On the call, Biden also conveyed that he “ordered all available federal resources to help with the continued response to Tropical Storm Idalia,” according to the White House.

And, it added, “the president reiterated that the people of Florida have his full support as they recover from the storm.” The major disaster declaration allows for federal funding to be available to affected individuals in the counties of Citrus, Dixie, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy, Suwannee and Taylor and for additional assistance to Florida in the form of grants for temporary housing and home repairs and low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses.

What no one wants now: a picture of Ron and Joe walking along the beach laughing. Recovery on the way. As Obama and Christie that time.

You got that right about Desantis not giving FJB any photo ops.
I see that it was only Dark Red counties that got hit hard.

Beat me to it. Is the beach walk next? Or will he wait until he officially loses the primary?

This afternoon, the worst excuse for POTUS in history held a presser at FEMA HQ. He said, "the hurricane made landfill yesterday."

He never realized what he said. No attempt to correct himself. Landfall and landfill are interchangeable in his muddled head.

ROFL! Just proves there is indeed garbage rattling around in his head.

Okay, all humor aside, I think it is cruel to push a dementia patient into public life to be subjected to public ridicule. If his family truly loved and cared about him, he would be living a private life, safe in the care and company of those who truly love bim. Anyone who has had loved one suffer from the cruel disease of dementia knows that.

They are only with him for his influence and the perks that come with cushy federal government positions of power.
