Emphasis added. If hurricanes are starting to be common in Nebraska things have gotten a lot worse a lot sooner than projected!
We now pause for some words from our key sponsor, Racism.
So which is it? I mean, yeah, you’re lying, of course, but can you please at least try to keep your lie consistent for two minutes?
Da fuck? Don Jr is a builder now?!? Of what, exactly?

As the walls between your two nostrils gradually disintegrate, over time forming a single breathing tube in the middle of your face, you will suck in oxygen twice as efficiently. This is how you’re becoming super human! No need to hold back, just let the world bathe in your flow of unstoppable energy.

Fuck Don jr with a palm tree, sideways.
I’ve been reading about people refusing to accept aid (and suffering as a result, potentially even putting their lives at risk), because they’re believing these stories - that if they accept any aid, they’ll lose their houses.

They’re disappointed that the rescue effort wasn’t a catastrophe, so they’re doing their part to make it as much of a catastrophe as possible.
ETA: I’m nostalgic for the days of the old Republican party, where they would fuck things up by just being bad at their job, as when Bush famously had a horse judge running the rescue efforts.This deliberate rat fucking is evil

North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee and, always, Louisiana, Texas, and other States: Due to the unusual activity of Storms, Hurricanes, and Tornadoes, and other Natural Disasters, especially in well-reported parts of our Country, when I win the Presidential Election of 2024, on November 5th, the Most Important Day in the History of our Country, we are going to allow you, retroactive to September 1st, 2024, to purchase a Generator for your Home, which will, in so doing, entitle you to fully deduct the TOTAL cost of said Generator for Income Tax Purposes. With what our Country is going through, and with the poor response you’re getting from the White House and the Federal Government, including Lyin’ Kamala Harris and Crooked Joe Biden, this is something you fully deserve. This Tax Deduction is available until August 31st, 2025.

This ought to go without saying, but Presidents can’t write tax laws. Therefore any Presidential candidate who makes these kinds of hyperspecific promises (as opposed to broad policy proposals describing the kinds of laws they would support) is full of shit and can be dismissed out of hand.

Builder of Lies! It’s the title of his faux-working class death metal album. Featuring songs like Hammer of Hate, Lathe of Lechery, and the love ballad Please Don’t Use Shiplap to Hide My Broken Heart.

He definitely inherited the “ramble on incoherently about things you know nothing about” gene.

It just makes me want to scream. FEMA basically throwing $750 at disaster victims (actually now $770 as of October 1st) is one of the best, most benevolent and effective things the government does.
Hit by a disaster? Look, paperwork, application, assessments are going to take a little bit of time. In the mean time, here is some cash to do with as you see fit and get you through this shit sandwich. No questions asked, no strings, not a loan, just money to help get you to the next step.

Oh boy!
A tax deduction!
Hot diggity damn!
Of course, a ‘tax deduction’ does fuck-all to help anyone buy the damn thing in the first place, but GOPers have had this disconnect from the economic reality of most Americans for decades.
Fuck a ‘tax break’… how about cash up front, instead.
Oh, yeah, that’s Socialism… unless Corporations or Billionaires are getting it.
And, as far as people suffering because they followed the directives of Lord Dampnut or the fruits of his loins, well…:
Those are self-inflicted wounds, as far as I am concerned.

Where does this kind of thing lead? It means MAGA-folk will be more likely to suffer while their more rational and more progressive neighbors will get FEMA relief. Then the MAGA-folk will look at their neighbors and be suspicious. And round the circle goes.

Seems counterproductive to get your worshippers to turn down basic disaster relief. People unhoused by a hurricane and possibly facing real (self-inflicted) difficulty in getting things as basic as food and clean water because their idiot messiah’s idiot kid mumbled some word salad about the big bad gubmint are a lot less likely to make it to the polls, you’d think.

Not when your whole campaign strategy hinges on ensuring they feel aggreived and abandoned.

I agree that has generally been his strategy, but again, the ultimate goal of getting them to show up somewhere to vote is somewhat undermined if they don’t have food or shelter. Scattered, sick, and distracted can be a big impediment to voting.

He doesn’t need the votes. He needs an angry, energized base of idiots to make the insurrection stick this time.
