Separate from the article, he’s also refusing to extend voter registration deadlines because of the storm unlike South Carolina. Today is still unfortunately Florida’s voter registration deadline, make sure to register: https://vote.gov/register

        Plenty of people are upset, just not most of the people who can vote this guy out. The wealthy and powerful have their feet on the necks of the people… And half of those people are asking for more weight, having bought the lie that this is all for the greater good.

    “seemed political" but at the same time, refuses to take the call.

    How do you know the call is political if you refuse to take it?

      After all, she’s the vice president, not just a political candidate. Organizations like FEMA are part of the executive branch. Your state is and is about to be a disaster site (again). Just pick up the phone, dude.

        He’s also not spoken to the president either who has attempted to call as well. Biden is not even running for president anymore

            There is literally no political downside for him. He scores points with the deplorables by ignoring the federal government, and he knows the Dems would never refuse to send aid so he doesn’t have to ask for it. Also he can’t run for re-election and he got trounced for the GOP ticket by failing to out-Trump Trump, so there’s literally nothing on the line for him by being a petty little dick.

      Well, see… The president he supports withholds funding unless the municipalities affected by disasters pass a purity test, so he assumes the president he doesn’t support will as well.

    This moment for De Santis will go down in history, I think he will largely be remembered for this single horrific moment as Milton slots into the breach, the US will at a national level be a meaningfully different place by the end of the week it is going to be so bad for Florida and elsewhere.

    This youtube weather channel has good coverage on the quickly worsening situation with a possible cat 5 milton.

      Ted Cruise fled to Cancun during the widespread power outages, and DeSantis refused phone calls with help for his state on the line.

      Yup. Tampa Bay is looking at a major disaster on Wednesday and DeSatans is playing politics with it.

        At least the libs are offering help, which we know from the recently unsealed documents that Trump would not be doing for states that didn’t vote for him.

            One wants to run a government, the other wants to prove government doesn’t run; it’s their whole platform.

    Sounds like Biden just needs to declare martial law and take over the state if the local dumbass won’t cooperate. Biden has a duty to protect citizens from tyranny.

    As Florida voters are trying to figure out why they’re drowning, starving, unsheltered, and alone, just remember that the call rejections were coming from within the house.
