    Kudos to Utah Governor Cox... seems a shame that this is so uncommon now to be newsworthy.

    Sadly that is where the country has gotten. I remember when Chris Christie was criticized for embracing Obama following Sandy.

    One of the things I will give DeSantis credit for is during Hurricane Ian and the Surfside Condo collapse he did work with the Biden Administration and even appeared publicly with Biden.

    True, but that was a year before he announced his campaign for presidency... and decided to go ultra maga.

    This idea that an wealthy East Coast mogul is actually the champion of the common people is the greatest con that Trump pulled off and Althouse seems happy to go along with it.

    Yes it's possible if a hurricane were to hit FL in the next few months things might be different. For all of DeSantis' faults I don't think he would refuse to work with the Biden Admin. out of partisanship. I think botching hurricane response to look good to the MAGA crowd won't gain him any points nationally or even in FL.

    I’d argue Trump has made it very clear that he’s a danger for democracy. That’s clear to you, right?

    I mean right? @Os Trigonum do you honestly feel like Trump sincerely cares about the common man? He’s spent his entire life letting us all know that he doesn’t see himself as common at all. We just have too much history on him to suggest otherwise.

    Republicans were broken when a black man won back to back elections.

    Trump said he could win and he did. Mainstream republicans couldn’t win and that’s the only thing the base cared about.

    Straight From The Lying Horse's Big Mouth



    President Joe Biden issued a federal disaster declaration following “devastating” Hawaii wildfires across several parts of the Big Island and Maui and promised to send whatever is needed to help the recovery.

    Along with FEMA, Biden noted he has ordered all available federal assets on the island, including the US Coast Guard, the Navy Third Fleet and the US Army, to “assist local emergency response crews, along with the Hawaii National Guard.”

    She forgets what Trump did cutting FEMA left and right.

    Speaking of idiots, you have her idol Trump...

    “Billions of dollars are sent to the State of California for Forrest fires that, with proper Forrest Management, would never happen,” the president tweeted, twice misspelling forest.

    Honestly is there a phrase in American history that’s less about it’s own literal meaning than the way States Rights has been used since the 19th century?
