So a week after Biden threw away another 8 BILLION on Ukraine, Kamala pledges $750.00 to Helene victims

My_2pesos claims he lives in Florida, lets hope if he really needs it that he gets his 750.00.
Oprah and Zuckerberg haven't finalized all their land purchases just yet.
Another aspect of this tragedy to keep in mind, most every house or business destroyed will not be covered by insurance. Most insurance policies do not cover flood or landsides. These people are screwed and government is barely lifting finger to help.
Before Helene, I did not realize that there are massive silica and lithium deposits in the Asheville area.
This brings up an interesting point. Kamala's supporters here, such as @my_2cents have claimed that Kamala is a leader who is smart and cares for Americans.
Ok, let's assume that is correct. What Kamala is saying here is that if one of her supporters lose everything, as many Helene victims have, that it's worth $750.00.
So if a Kamala supporter loses their home, their cars, all their worldly possession, Kamala says all that can be replaced for $750.00.
@my_2cents Kamala is saying your life can be rebuilt for $750. That's what Kamala thinks of you.
Hard working, tax paying, law abiding, mostly Republican American citizens are only worth $750 to Democrats but if you are an illegal alien you receive thousands of dollars each month in cash, free healthcare, free housing, free food and are immune to the laws of the land. If you are a Ukrainian, you have access to an unlimited amount of money providing for your defense, infrastructure, social services and retirement. Somewhere along the line Democrats have lost their way.
That's not what she is saying or stating clearly. The 750 is for those in immediate need of groceries. It's part of 10 million that FEMA made available to them.
The video is out of context.
What part of the video is out of context? Where exactly are all of these people going to go shopping for their groceries? Towns have been wiped off the map, roads have been washed out meaning goods can not get to the grocery stores. Sorry but the $750 is pretty much meaningless in the situation these people are in as a result of this disaster.
FEMA is broke, where have you been?
And no, $750 isn't for groceries, it's to rebuild their lives.
So let's say your daughter has just lost her house, her cars, all her worldly possessions. Kamala comes to her and says "Honey, we are going to get you the help you need! Now go talk to this nice man and once he's verified that you actually deserve help, we'll cut you a check for $750 to get you the help you need".
How would your daughter feel about that?
According to Kamala, they should immediately verify that they actually need help. If they can prove they need help, then she will give them $750 and all their problems will be solved.
Do you think that's Kamala showing leadership and that she understands what Helene victims are going through?
Right? @osu_orangestreak's spin on what Kamala meant makes her look even more out of touch. Every building within 100 square miles has been wiped off the map along with every vehicle, but baby here's a check for $750 to buy you some groceries. Good luck finding a car to drive, a bank to cash your check, or a grocery store.
Kamala is showing leadership!
Massive airdrop of food and water would help. Get electricity and at least some semblance of 2 lanes in/out restored before winter would be nice as well, which should be the priority for the Army
You can answer your own question, what was it Democrats and the MSM were screaming about with Katrina? That's the problem for Democrats, they make everything political when it's a Republican in office but when a Democrat is in office they all of a sudden have a different take on everything and then act outraged they are being called out for their double standard.
Just off the top of my head what can be done immediately. Upon learning of the disaster immediately send in thousands of military members for massive search and rescue operations. Probably to late for that now. Massive airlift of supplies, generators, fuel, medicine and heavy equipment to clear roads. Evacuation operation for those with medical needs. Influx of military medical staff to care for those injured or require medical care. Deploy military bridging equipment to open roads for supplies to get in and for people to get out. Create tent camps and temporary housing to provide shelter for those that have none and for those working in response to the disaster. Government has catered to the illegals with all the creature comforts they never had, seems only right for the victims of a natural disaster to receive at least some of the same. Support all the different charity groups that responded far quicker than government and quit confiscating the donation they have received for government use which amounts nothing but a a slower, inept and corrupt response.
Most of this should have been accomplished within 48 hours but here we are 6 days later and little of this has been accomplished by our federal government. I would also say it's not a good look for Joe to be sitting on a beach and Kamala attending a fund raiser eating crab inn Las Vegas. Should have been in Washington overseeing the response or at least not been seen enjoying life while the disaster unfolded. Remember Democrats and the press went nuts because Bush was at his ranch just a few hours away by car during Katrina.
You are a liar. The money is for immediate help, not to rebuild there lives. Food, diapers, formula and such. It's quick cash.
You make is sound like nothing is happening. They are doing all they can within an area with infrastructure. People can't rebuild until that is taken care of.
You are looking for a political angle that isn't there.
They are running mule trains with food to some areas.
1000 active duty troops are on the ground and National Guard from numerous states.
You would think that some building contracts would have been awarded by now. But I haven't heard os any.
DeSantis has sent temporary bridging to the area. A couple os years ago he had the Sanibel island bridge rebuilt in 2 days.
Nope, I'm telling a truth about your gal Kamala that you don't want to hear.
So if Trump was President and waited a week to do anything about Helene, then made a statement telling victims he was gonna give them $750 but only if they VERIFIED that they NEEDED the help, you'd defend him?
Of course not. You would say he was an out-of-town asshole that didn't give a shit about the victims and you would correctly point out that giving $750 cash to the victims is absolutely meaningless as they have no where to buy anything and no where to store anything they buy.
But because your girl Kamala did it, here come the spins and excuses.
Tribalism. Try putting America first before your politics.
How many did Biden/Kamala just allocate to train for the Middle East and Europe? Maybe recall them and send them to help AMERICANS?
Again, if Trump was handling this situation the exact same way Biden and Kamala are, you'd be calling him out.
And you'd be justified.
Doesn’t the Army have a few helicopters that could have dropped off some water and K rations days ago ?
At this point it appears that Joe & Kam are trying their best to put Americans last

It's the equivalent of asking Mrs. Lincoln, other than that how did she enjoyed the play.
