Will Ian be to Desantis as Katrina was to W

[dclarston13]

I can't see him managing this properly. I fear for my friends in the are, even after the water resided. Hopefully the feds will step up.

1. Biden has it covered

DeSatan will not see as much of a political impact

3. Betting he will take all the credit & find a way to diss Biden too. -nt

9. Yup

11. He will see it when people try to get their insurance to pay for the damage.

Randi Rhodes just spent the good part of the first hour of her show discussing the big insurance scandal that's been going on for the past few years. It's a horrific situation created by DeSantis and his toadies. Lots of people are going to be in for a rude awakening when they try to collect on their claims.

2. The feds have already stepped up.

I was driving from Jax to P’Cola yesterday. An amazing number of electric trucks and ambulances heading east towards I-75.

5. Don't count on it.

I'm sure the Rethugs are looking for every way to hamper the aid.

7. I seriously doubt it.

The area getting slammed has sent a lot of money to those in power.

4. I hope that you are wrong in that I have friends in Florida

My kids are headed to Walt Disney World in three weeks and I hope that Floorida is not too badly damaged

6. Don't see how

You’re imagining a situation where there is devestation and somehow the grade for the president will be different from the governor?

People are likely to see the response as either positive or negative.

[Pinback]

8. No. (nt)

10. Looking forward to TFG suing him for damages to MAL that he *SHOULD* have prevented.

Under a state law that he visualized.

Let the cage fight begin.

12. I would love to see desatan Christie himself by thanking Biden

For all of the assistance. That would be a death sentence for him just like it was for Christie.

13. Citizens Property Insurance

A couple decades ago, Florida created an "insurer of last resort" called "citizens property insurance corporation". It's been underfunded for a couple of decades. They insure a tremendous amount of coastal property that the commercial companies wouldn't touch. And much of it is for very wealthy home owners. There have been discussions for years about how to "fix" it. They even had a special session of the legislature last year that "fixed" nothing. This may be the storm everyone was worried would bankrupt the system. The state is going to be on the hook for billions that they can't afford.

With a little luck, this will bring down DeSantis and the GOP when so many homeowners don't get their property insured.

14. On the pandemic, the public health directives became politicized because of Trump.

I don't see anything like that happening here. Trump and Desantis are both responsible for thousands of deaths.
