If Trump was in office right now, Steve Bannon would be making serious bank from this catastrophe.

Thanks for providing additional info. I agree that people need to spend more time researching things before they get into rage mode. Unfortunately that's all media headlines and social media posts intend to do these days. The truth usually lies in the middle.
That being said, having dealt with FEMA before (as I know many here have) its not outlandish to think their response is lackluster.
When the FEMA director comes out and literally says they don't have enough funds for hurricane season. And subsequently you see posts from sitting elected officials gloating about sending $100's of millions to other countries. I can see how people in dire straits can get bent out of shape.
Sure, I understand it's not coming from the same pool of money, but at the end of the day it's all taxpayer money and it shows the priorities of our Gov't may be a bit out of whack.

Of course there are shortcomings and legitimate gripes. Latching on to every BS conspiracy that any crackpot with a microphone or social media account spews does nothing but undermine the legitimate issues people will inevitably have.

You people are such pussies. Your grandparents would be ashamed by how much y'all complain about being white Americans. All pride is out the window.

Well just as happened here FEMA should up and started confiscating civilian and church relief supplies. They want FULL control. You must ask for permission to and get approval.

That’s false, but…is that why you want Trump to be killed?

Nothing short of amazing to see this happen regularly to one of the richest people in the world.

I don’t believe FEMA is stopping supplies. There is not one picture that I can find of this happening. Someone please post something CURRENT.
These are rumors propagated by the damn podcasters. Give these motherfrickers a hanging studio microphone and a mixing board and they become “ knowledgeable “ about everything under the sun.
People don’t and can’t read, observe and come to a logical conclusion.
The propaganda is OOC.

His father must be so proud of him :
The spokesperson said Buttigieg made the move to Traverse City, which is located in the northern part of the state, to be closer to his husband Chasten’s parents.
Buttigieg and his husband bought a house in the city two years ago, according to the Detroit Free Press.

We are what? About a month away from an election? There is no telling what the hell is going on. Both sides and their bullshite are full of shite.

While it might not be the entire story talking to friends, family, and neighbors in Lake Lure, Saluda and Boone local, state, and federal entities have been turning looky-loos away that are there ostensibly for relief efforts but have little or anything with them that is useful for the actual relief effort. This could also cause some crossed wires with people there to legitimately help.
As an aside, I was talking to one of my old platoon leaders with whom I still stay in touch and is now REMF brass in the 82nd. He said the parts of the 20th Engineer BDE and 82nd Combat Aviation BDE have been in WNC since Tuesday.

Could easily see this being the issue. On Elons comments, it does look like his helicopter(s) we're having issues landing with starlink gear, and he seems to be a guy that has zero issues blasting things out there to get shite done, for better or worse.

This is all about who gets "credit." Mayor Buttplug the Cocksucker and the rest of the scumbag filth in the Democrat party do not want anyone getting credit except for themselves given that this is an election year. They especially don’t want someone who has openly supported Donald Trump to get any credit. In their demented and deranged minds, tragic events like this are political opportunities. Remember, scumbag Democrat Rahm Emmanuel’s motto -- never let a good crisis go to waste. The fact that people are suffering and dying is of no consequence to Democrats – especially less than a month before the presidential election. And especially if the majority of those people aren’t “diversity voters“ the Democrats need to exploit to get elected.
Upvote a thousand times!

I'll spare you the entire exchange, you're probably not intelligent enough to understand it anyway, but the fundamental principal of "Big sky, little airplane" applies. And if air traffic control is such a problem, it would be very easy to put up an ANG control team or even a USN E2C. But this administration simply doesn't care.
He was carrying water for FEMA yesterday. He's a government shill.
