Joe Biden is Johnny on the Spot for Florida

[vlyons]

Thank-you Joe for already having rescue and emergency people and plans in place. For reaching out to the gov and mayors to promise whatever emergency and/or long term assistance needed.

I don't live in FL; I live in Tx. Even so, I'm so grateful that Joe Biden is my president! We are so lucky to have him in charge.

1. Remembering Katrina...

When the pukes wailed that the loss of life had NOTHING to do with the Federal (lack of) response, but laid it all at the feet of the dem governor, who had requested FEMA assistance well before the hurricane landed.

2. DeSatan has not given Biden a wit of credit

He wants all the credit just like other repubs take credit for everything else Dems accomplish.

[dsc]

5. To be fair, that isn't true

[Demobrat]

15. He said it - but with great reluctance.

If you watch the video you can see how hard it was for him to mumble those words.

[Brother Buzz]

20. Biden boxed him in by preemptively mobilizing things

DeSantos was pissed Biden took the initiative; he changed his tune because the optics were so poor.

[Skittles]

33. "it is my sense the administration wants to help"

Democrats ALWAYS want to help.....yes INDEED.

[kacekwl]

3. Like they GAF

The majority of Florida will thank trump.

[Ligyron]

22. I'm not at all sure that's true.

Our elections have been hmm, shall I say, *questionable* for quite a while now. After the Gore steal, I was amazed they let President Obama win.

Sure, there's a lot of rural that may as well be Red (neck) Alabama or Mississippi but most folks live in the bigger cities which tend to be progressive and vote that way.

But don't mind me, I'm just blowing off steam and not really a CT believer.

Something sure seems suspicious tho'.

4. I am so glad that we have a real POTUS now

6. Nor is he BRAGGING about the SIZE of Ian.

As did TDFG brag about Harvey's size, wind speeds, and devastation capabilities.

[Probatim]

7. And he did it without using a Sharpie.

As I typed that, I imagined using Gene Belcher's voice. Seemed to be appropriate.

[Ray Bruns]

9. You mean Biden didn't bring a truckload of paper towels to throw at people?

[Probatim]

10. The storm hasn't cleared out of FL yet - there's still hope for a photo-op of disastrous proportions

Not that Biden would ever do something so demeaning to anyone.

As I stated earlier this morning regarding a video of tfg dancing, I don't think there was ever a president who had such low self awareness.

[Ray Bruns]

13. Where did you see that video? I could use a good laugh

[catbyte]

14. Here...

[calimary]

34. Still turns my stomach.

That’s about all the “care” and “concern” he has for people. He arrives to collect more adulation and applause, and if you’re lucky, he’ll throw you a roll of nicely-set-up displays of paper towels.

People who REALLY care don’t stage it for a photo-op.

Schmuck. That’s all he’ll ever be. A cold, heartless, calculating, phony-ass, glory-seeking, attention-hogging schmuck.

[Traildogbob]

8. It is amazing

All the reddest of states that are bordered by the gulf or the southeast Atlantic Ocean shorelines hate the Blue States that are always willing to help them and are trying to do things to lesson climate change that will be most helpful to those red state. And their savior’s response is throwing paper towels and go all in on planet destruction.
Blue States Matter. So stop trying to shoot and slaughter us.
Ian is gonna be very wet, in the terms of water. The likes of which has never been seen. Except to the Noah family.

[TheBlackAdder]

17. Yet, when Sandy hit NJ & NY, those chronic takers were the same ones holding up aid.

[Lonestarblue]

11. Yes. Ted Cruz voted against federal aid for Superstorm Sandy relief for blue states, but

demanded instant federal billions for Hurricane Harvey relief. He is a total hypocrite who has done absolutely nothing for Texas, but voters keep sending him back to Congress to continue being a useless parasite on our government.

[mgardener]

12. I wonder if people in Florida

Are angry that DeSantis spent how many millions of dollars flying immigrants from Texas to MA?

That money could have helped the people during this hurricaine.

[DeeDeeNY]

27. Watching the coverage on MSNBC, I just saw

A local official say “thank you for your leadership, Governor.”

[jmowreader]

16. Joe Biden is the best disaster-relief president I have seen in my lifetime

He's the first one I can remember who prestages relief supplies and relief workers outside the impact area before the storm hits.

[Lucinda]

18. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[Midnight Writer]

19. Heckuva job, Brandon!

[Vinca]

21. And I seriously doubt Joe will travel to Florida to pelt people with paper towels.

[Ferrets are Cool]

23. Oh, it's just a political stunt

I hope I don't need this.

[progressoid]

28. Actually heard a local yokel on AM radio saying that Biden wouldn't go to Shinzo Abe's funeral

because he was afraid of the political backlash if he left during a hurricane.

[NQAS]

24. And...

He didn’t demand that they kiss his butt.

I saw that desantis thanked him. Wanna bet that gratitude doesn’t last more than a day or two before he starts bitching about something else that Biden did or didn’t do that he shouldn’t have or should have done

He’s still a human trafficker and kidnapper.

[getagrip_already]

25. meh, the correct response would be to tell florida to rake the beaches better......

Clearly florida is at fault here. They don't deserve federal help. Well, maybe a paper towel toss in a few weeks.

{sarcasm}

[vlyons]

26. Joe will not be rushing to FL for photo ops

He will stay out of FL to avoid his entourage causing headaches to all the post storm relief efforts. He won't go there, if at all, until and unless FEMA tells his they're ready for him.

[BigmanPigman]

29. Thank you for warning oil companies not to

use this as an excuse to falsely inflate gas prices.

[bluboid]

30. "...I'm so grateful that Joe Biden is my president! We are so lucky to have him in charge."

wow! could not have said it better myself.

[Cha]

31. We are so Lucky 🍀 to have Joe

Biden as our President!!🍀💙🕯🕊

[Hermit-The-Prog]

32. It is a relief to be able to -take for granted- that our President will do what's right.

For 4 years of gritting our teeth, it was just expected that the worst reaction to any crisis is the very one the pResident would take.
