MAGA bots are lying about states hit by this storm being neglected all over social media. Clearly, this is the attack of the day. It probably won’t be long for the bots on here to repeat the same nonsense in attempts to derail threats. Facts matter.
I will say, if you’re living in a red state and feel neglected by your leaders, maybe it’s time to vote differently? This sure seems dumb. Definitely not helping the “forgotten man” here.

14 GOP-led states have turned down federal money to feed low-income kids in the summer. Here's why
Lower-income families with school-age kids can get help from the federal government paying for groceries this summer, unless they live in one of 14 states.

The correction appeared in Walsh’s original tweet, having been judged “false” and added as context.

Trump and Republicans lying, lying, and while they’re at it already, lying some more……Trump M.O.: in this case bemoan the troubles created by imaginary happenings that never happened and have no basis in the real world, as Paul Krugman notes. On and on Trump waxes over problems in his imaginary alternate reality. And our clueless Trump cultists post tweets reflecting those lies…
“And yet, the hurricane has become the latest topic of disinformation for MAGA Republicans. Social media today is full of accounts claiming that the federal government is not responding to the crisis in western North Carolina because it prefers to spend money in Ukraine and on undocumented immigrants. Newsmax host Todd Starnes claimed that FEMA’s “top priority is not disaster relief” but to push diversity, equity and inclusion. “So, unless you’ve got your preferred pronouns spraypainted on the side of your submerged house—you won’t get a penny from Uncle Sam. Western North Carolina is just too Conservative and too Caucasian for FEMA to care.” The House Judiciary Committee posted that “Joe Biden was at the beach.”
These posts echo Russian disinformation, and Trump was on board with it. Touring Valdosta, Georgia, today, as a private citizen where people are still without power amidst the devastation, Trump said he had spoken to Elon Musk to get his Starlink satellites into North Carolina; FEMA has already provided 40 of the systems to North Carolina. He claimed that Georgia governor Brian Kemp is “having a hard time getting the president on the phone. They’re being very non-responsive.”
“When a reporter asked President Biden and Democratic North Carolina governor Roy Cooper to respond to Trump’s accusation that they are ignoring the disaster, Biden responded: “He's lying. And the governor told him he was lying…. I've spoken to the governor, spent time with him…. I don't know why he does this. And the reason I get so angry about it, I don't care about what he says about me, but I care what he communicates to the people that are in need. He implies that we're not doing everything possible. We are…. I assume you heard the Republican Governor of Georgia talk about that he was on the phone with me more than once. So that's simply not true. And it's irresponsible.”
Economist Paul Krugman noted: “We’ve all become desensitized, but it’s amazing how at this point the Trump campaign rests entirely on denouncing things that aren’t happening—[an] imaginary bad economy, imaginary runaway crime and now an imaginary failure of Biden and Harris to respond to natural disaster.”

Take note, lying Trump cultists. Clueless cultists don’t bother checking the facts. Just post observations by their fellow liars:
“In contrast, numerous posters today noted that Trump repeatedly withheld federal aid from Democratic governors—including that of North Carolina—after disasters in their states. After the Trump campaign organized a fundraiser for victims of the hurricane, David Frum of The Atlantic reminded readers that in 2019, Trump was fined $2 million and three of his children were ordered to take classes as a penalty for taking for their own use funds from charities they ran.”

What's up with wanting everything to turn into WWIII?
I could kinda see the concern around the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (turns out the Russians were more corrupt than anticipated and their military was falling apart). But why on earth would Iran/Israel, even if they went to full scale war, ever go global? Iran has no allies that love them like that, and Israel isn't in that much better of a position at this point (yes, the US is willing to throw cheap weapons at them, but we'll do that for near anybody).

Weird. Who could have foreseen this? Trump’s very fine people. Remember, they’re like so economically anxious and love immigrants but just want immigrants to follow the process. Or something. Amirite???
www.nytimes.com
A fifth-generation resident in the small city between Columbus and Dayton, Mr. McGregor was struggling a few years ago to fill positions for machine operators, forklift drivers and quality inspectors. Mr. McGregor, 48, began hiring Haitians who had recently settled in Springfield. They now represent about 10 percent of McGregor Metal’s labor force of 330.
But he has suddenly found himself in the middle of a political firestorm. Former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, denounced the Haitians in Springfield with false claims that they were stealing and eating pets. The rumors fed growing resentment over rising housing prices, crowded clinics and a town whose character seemed to be changing. Mr. McGregor, who had publicly praised his new employees for their hard work and willingness to learn, became a target.
A flood of threats was directed not only at him, but his family and his business.
They came by the hundreds — phone calls, emails and letters from white supremacists, neo-Nazis and other people they had never met.
“The owner of McGregor Metal can take a bullet to the skull and that would be 100 percent justified,” said one message left on the company voice mail.
“Why are you importing Third World savages who eat animals and giving them jobs over United States citizens?” another asked.
“Stack all 20,000 Haitians inside Jamie McGregor’s factory at once and force him to praise the benefits of foreign labor while being crushed to death by Black bodies themselves being crushed to death,” another said.

The lifelong Republican employs fewer Haitians than others in Springfield, but his life has been upended since Donald J. Trump spread falsehoods about immigrants in his hometown.
