U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will on Wednesday see their way clear to visit areas devastated by Hurricane Helene, arriving some 72-hours after former President Donald Trump made the same journey to the stricken zone.

Trump journeyed to the disaster area early on Monday, visiting the devastated town of Valdosta in Georgia.

The Republican nominee traveled with a Christian charity organization that brought trucks of fuel, food, water and other supplies, as Breitbart News reported.

The death toll is now approaching 160 people, and power and cellular service remains unavailable in some places.

Please please let this be her Dukakis moment.

Hurricane “disaster zones” make the best photo op locations for bottom feeding politicians.

Speaking of cellular...

We are making a system update to allow all Starlinks in the affected areas to work, regardless of payment.

Software update hopefully completed tonight. Tomorrow at the latest.

Please share and tag! Hey @elonmusk can you make @Starlink free for the next 30 days in the disaster zone. It’s really slowing us down setting these up and I am putting them all on my personal card. Gift cards won’t seem to process.

And maybe someone could ask the POTATUS and putative PUTATUS about this...

We do not have this equipment readily available because we have shipped large quantities of transformers and other electrical equipment to Ukraine. Both our military and non-military support for Ukraine has left us less prepared for domestic disasters like Hurricane Helene:

This is devastating. We do NOT have 360 substations worth of transformers and other electrical equipment sitting in stockpiles waiting to be deployed. It could take a very long time to restore power to everyone. Are we facing a Hurricane Maria-type impact on grid infrastructure? x.com/NW_Horadam/sta…

This is crazy. FEMA’s top priority is supposed to be saving the lives of America citizens.

/1⚠️MISPLACED PRIORITIES —

Over the last 4 years the Biden-Harris admin has steadily transformed FEMA — the agency responsible for responding to natural disasters like Hurricane Helene — into an illegal alien resettlement agency that emphasizes DEI over public safety.

Damage control photo op whore.

California’s been jiggling in some interesting places of late...

Note to Californians: Helene is a preview of coming attractions should Mama Nature cut loose there.

If you don’t want Deep State doing to you what it’s doing back East...

Vote accordingly.

Zeepers should be so proud of themselves stripping America of wealth and prosperity to the Ukraine while we suffer here in America.

[just me]

I believe if not for the media they would not even bother.
Social media called them out.

“disasters meet disaster! film at eleven” applies.

Comments from the deplorables

[Sacajaweau]

Trump was there 3 days ago and WITH supplies. Biden says they’re having a tough time getting supplies to them. That’s bull crap...Hurricanes are nothing new. Helicopters can carry huge supply loads. Where are they??

[FlingWingFlyer]

That’s correct. I wonder if Chris Christie will be meeting them there to hold their hands and play Hug and Sniff with Joe Pedo as they walk through all the broken lumber.

"We do not have this equipment readily available because we have shipped large quantities of transformers and other electrical equipment to Ukraine."

Reminds me of ca 1965 whe my small detached stateside Air Force unit had to ship our small arms arsenal (which had been ours since unit was established) to Vietnam. Two 1911's, two grease guns and 40 M1 carbibes...bye bye.

As I posted in another thread: Never underestimate the American electorate’s ability to f*** things up.

"We do not have this equipment readily available because we have shipped large quantities of transformers and other electrical equipment to Ukraine."

Oh, just use one of those standard S-1798s and write in "pizza" where it says "machine gun."

[SaveFerris]

Kamala Harris says White people last for relief.

If there’s any supplies left over...

Thar she blows! One of my favorite episodes.
