    You just can't help yourself, can you Dave?

    I believe your calling people names actually says more about you than it does about the people you criticize.

    That’s because the Republican house are cheap SOBs and they did not anticipate hurricanes of this magnitude. Ukraine has nothing to do with FEMA budget, but the I didn’t expect a person like you to know things like that. Maybe you should have shown one of those naked Melania pictures from the European magazines for the same effect.

    "Anyone who enters politics for no other reason than to obtain power should be the last one granted it, for these types throughout history always become the most dangerous. Dictators and despots, megalomaniacal kings and petty tyrants all have pursued political power out of nothing more than a Machiavellian desire to rule and conquer others, perhaps to satisfy some empty void within themselves but never out of a sense of service — or anything that makes them look beyond themselves and their own times. Political power is different from power in the private sector where ambition is often rewarded, and where ambition and success tend to go hand and hand. By contrast, in politics, ambition is a corrupting influence that if left unchecked almost invariably leads to tyranny." Paul Ingrassia

    Seems to me this perfectly fits into the now Liberal, Progressive Democrat Party that will do anything and everything in their attempt to maintain power, from making-up fake stories about their opponent, to trying to keep him off the ballot, to charging him of non-crimes, to not allowing States to clean the voter rolls, to hiding stories that would damage the Democrats, to encouraging those deranged citizens to attempt to assassinate the former President by calling him Hitler, a dictator, and a person who will destroy Democracy!

    We have already seen the dangers the Left has imposed on us over the last 3 1/2 years, with millions of illegal aliens, over 100,000 deaths from fentanyl, high inflation, high crime, overwhelming our housing situation, our schools, our hospitals, etc. and who's paying for this? We are! As we find ourselves struggling to keep our own heads above water with groceries, fuel, increased insurance and utility rates, and the shrinking dollar! Many are supplementing their income using their charge cards only digging themselves deeper in debt. As of September 2024, the average interest rate on credit cards in the United States is between 22.63% and 24.92%

    Our government seems to be able to send billions of dollars overseas, sending money to Iran so they can support Hamas and Hezbollah in their war against Israel, while our own citizens are sleeping in the streets, and while FEMA has exhausted its disaster relief fund and has no more aid for our citizens who are victims of hurricane Helene!

    Trump has done more for the hurricane victims than the Biden administration!!! At least he showed-up with truckloads of aid and a commitment from Elon Musk to bring Starlink terminals to the area, only to find himself in a fight with the FCC!

    Ronald Reagan's most terrifying words – "I'm from the government and I’m here to help."

    Judge Cannon rules Jack Smith's appointment 'unlawful' as he wasn't Senate confirmed
    You are truly ignorant. Your level of misunderstanding is mind boggling. The satellite internet company Starlink has said approximately 500 Starlink kits are being deployed by private individuals and organizations to help with the recovery efforts.Jaque Silva / SOPA Images via Reuters file Biden nixed 20,000, so now there are 5oo kits for N. Carolina.

    Elon Musk bashes FCC for lack of Starlink in towns hit by Helene—despite massive flaws in old bid
    ‘Contemptible political lawfare.’
    Mikael Thalen Updated on October 1 2024 3:45 pm CDT

    Conservative influencers are sending satellite-based internet terminals to victims of Hurricane Helene as Elon Musk is bashing the Federal Communication Commission’s decision to deny SpaceX federal funding, claiming its decision worsened matters.

    Last year, the agency refused to provide the company, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, $885 million in subsidies aimed at bringing Starlink terminals to rural areas.

    The storm crippled cell phone and internet service in many affected regions due to flooding and power outrages.

    Experts warn that it could take anywhere from weeks to months for access to be fully restored, making Starlink terminals a sought-after commodity.

    The FCC argued at the time that it did not believe SpaceX, whose terminals allow users in areas with poor connectivity to gain internet access through satellites, would be capable of aiding the hundreds of thousands of Americans eligible for funds. Starlink’s bid at the time was riddled with errors, offering coverage for urban areas that were already well-served.

    The FCC also took issue with Starlink still charging $600 for satellites after the subsidies.

    Yet amid the ongoing disaster caused by Hurricane Helene, which has taken at least 130 lives in six states, supporters of Musk are highlighting the FCC’s year-old decision.

    In response to one such tweet, Musk argued that the FCC’s choice was nothing more than “Contemptible political lawfare.”

    Wrong again. Quit while you are ahead. What about your Georgia claim. Waiting, waiting. waiting. You should really do some research before posting, you are starting to look like a fool.
