    In my neighborhood, they are more concerned with FEMA confiscating donations and locking them behind a fence.

    Sigh. I really need to start screenshotting these conversations sooner before they get removed.

      Holy shit i was just arguing over this with a family member in TN, she is convinced that biden and Harris are confiscating material donations and disaster relief from NC to give to migrants. After she sited FEMA as a source I sent her a link to the FEMA rumor response https://www.fema.gov/disaster/current/hurricane-helene/rumor-response But she knows people that know people who are “actually there” even though they have been turned away by FEMA apparently. I might start trying heroin.

        “Like I believe anything ending in .gov” was the response I got when I posted that page.

        Also, they posted a photo from their daughter who is there of an older guy in camo pants (with built-in knee pads) and a tan shirt, with a gun strapped to his thigh and sunglasses tucked into the collar of his beer-belly filled shirt, in front of a chain linked fence, with a bunch of similarly dressed rednecks “fema workers” in the background organizing “supplies”. 🙄

          How many fingers do they have in the “photo”?

          • less than 10: possible real rednecks
          • more than 10: ai
          • 10: jury’s out.

          Anyone else seen the shitty AI of Trump in jeans in the flood waters?

    I’m annoyed that this uses “your” instead of “you’re” but I’m sure Trump would do the same

      Lol into what MTG said. She legit is leaning into a crazy conspiracy about liberals having a weather machine to wreck Republican-voting areas. Because that’s the only possible reason for hurricanes or some insane bullshit.

        Based on conservatives still crazy but more consistent logic, shouldn’t it be a punishment from God or something?
