The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

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.”


“Nobody thought this would be happening” during the actual peak of hurricane season, the season lasting through November….

trumpers want less government anyway. Why would they complain for the governments lack of involvement?

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).
