Biden pledges ‘immediate’ US help for Haiti following earthquake

President Biden said the U.S. is working to help Haiti as it deals with the destruction and tragedy of Saturday’s massive earthquake.

A 7.2 magnitude quake shook the impoverished island nation around 8:30 a.m., collapsing buildings and killing hundreds just weeks after the president was assassinated.

“In what is already a challenging time for the people of Haiti, I am saddened by the devastating earthquake that occurred in Saint-Louis du Sud, Haiti this morning,” Biden’s statement said, offering condolences to victims.

Biden said he named Samantha Power, administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, as the senior official to coordinate an “immediate” U.S. response.

The agency will help in the efforts to assess damage and assist efforts to recover the injured and those who must now rebuild, the president said. “The United States remains a close and enduring friend to the people of Haiti, and we will be there in the aftermath of this tragedy.”

Yeah, Haitian’s know how ‘great’ the help from democrat politicians is. I guess this means Haiti’s going to get robbed for billions again.

They’re expecting Clinton Family Crime Foundation $$$ to roll in now like last time. Unfortunately the people who need help are saying “ qu’est-ce que c’est near miss?”

Why not. Reminds me of the funny movie from the 60s.....Who’s minding the mint. Nobody that’s who. Just keep on printing. As long as we got paper and ink..we good. We cool.

Or maybe the scene in Goodfellas where the owner gets Paulie to come in on the Restaurant. Paulie the mob boss ends up ripping the place off till there’s nothing left to rip off anymore, and they torch the joint. That’s coming. I think even the Bible predicts it......”they will throw their silver in the streets”.....

Oh sure, lets spend more in foreign lands.

It’s not like we’re zillions in the hole and using jets engines to power massive money printing machines.

Biden is a multitasker.
The guy must only sleep 18 hours a night?

Just get the funds to the Clintons and they’ll do the rest . . . For a fee . . .

Biden offering help - they can look to Afghanistan for all the US has to offer under his leadership.

At this point, government spending is completely decoupled from taxation.

The only purpose of taxation now is to punish the people you hate.

I just hope this “immediate” help is not something like taking thousands refugees in

Oh it’s certainly that

And a 10% skim of the aid sent

( and probably a couple kids to stroke his leg hair while he sniffs theirs)
