In light of all that’s happened with the conspiracies surrounding Haitians eating pets in Springfield and now the current nonsense with the hurricane and flooding, I’m just quoting this post again for no apparent reason. Clearly, the status quo is working just amazingly well…The same was said about the FDA 100 years ago.
We absolutely need regulation of social media companies that are exploiting consumers to wreck our democracy. Their algorithms are leading to mental health issues in teens, communities coming under attack by paid Russian actors, and rampant disinformation in our politics.
Much like abortion, republicans are only playing politics to be against something. They actually don’t have a vision to construct anything. I’ll believe it that republicans are serious about providing folks with disaster relief when they stop voting against FEMA funding. I’ll believe it when they actually vote with democrats for infrastructure spending. I’ll believe it when they admit that climate change is happening and agree to work with Democrats to mitigate the warming of the climate by greenhouse gasses. I’ll believe it when they support relief for disasters impacting primary blue states and cities, not just red ones.
In addition to migrant and disaster relief being different funds, we should all understand, it was the Far Right Republicans who removed additional funding for FEMA from the stopgap budget. The extra money was removed just as Congress adjourned days before Helene arrived. Blame conservative Republicans for “there isn’t enough money”….

Lawmakers stunned as disaster funds left out of stopgap bill
Congress approved a funding patch Wednesday without supplemental disaster money, even as Hurricane Helene bears down on Florida.www.eenews.net
I’ve removed the paywall on this Washington Post article. Yourself and others complaining about the FEMA fund that assists migrants should at least recognize and acknowledge that the fund was created by Donald Trump, in 2019. Therefore, shouldn’t you complain to Trump? Instead of spreading lies initiated by Trump?
Trump created the FEMA migrant fund.
Conservatives in the house removed extra funding for FEMA two days before Helene hit.
It’s dumb for MAGA to insist the situation in North Carolina and elsewhere be fixed overnight. But I knew they would, all while being the same people who called global warming a hoax.
Don't forget, big business loves all this. These are all wonderful distractions that keep us from going after them and severing their ties to the politicians that enable multi-billion $ buy-backs and reduce regulations to the point of being completely meaningless, allowing them to foist whatever they want on the American people in the name of record corporate profits and adding to the wealth of the wealthiest among us, regardless of how many people it hurts to do so. They have theirs, so who gives a **** about anyone else getting anything they need?Much like abortion, republicans are only playing politics to be against something.

Until then, they’re merely playing games. They’re exploiting a terrible crisis, lying about it, in order to score cheap political points. It’s vile and despicable and they should pay a heavy political price for it. They won’t, because the GOP is largely a cult of personality now and the MSM is mostly a right wing propaganda apparatus that values clicks and tax cuts above anything else.
This is so vile. Trump is engaging in rhetoric only used by nazis and klansmen.I don’t know if Trump is the “worst, most racist bigot in the world”, but I do find him disgusting, and someone who should never be my nation’s face to the world.

"Bad genes": In latest racist attack, Trump says immigrants are genetically inferior
Trump, embracing eugenics, claimed immigrants are genetically predisposed to crimewww.salon.com
Donald Trump on Monday claimed that immigrants are predisposed to becoming murderers because they have “bad genes," a racist claim belied by studies showing immigrants actually commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans.
Trump has had a long obsession with genes and bloodlines, often citing superior genetics as a reason for success long before he got into politics.
At an anti-immigration rally in 2020, he told the predominantly white Minnesota crowd that they have “good genes.”
“You have good genes. A lot of it is about the genes, isn’t it, don’t you believe?" Trump said. He went onto reference the “racehorse theory," an idea popularized in Nazi Germany that suggests selective breeding can improve a country’s performance.
In 2023, Trump said immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” echoing language used by the Nazis.
this looks bad for, let me get this straight, Kamala Harris?
I think the rule is puff puff pass, bro. You've obviously smoked the whole bag without sharing.

This is the guy that will be calling Trump a racist when he interviews Kamala. If you think Trump is the worst most racist bigot in the world you should look up the STEP act.
