Title: Mario Kart Playing President Has Been MIA on Winter Superstorm, and the Latest News Makes It Even Wo
Post by: bilo on February 21, 2021, 09:46:44 pm
not only has Joe Biden not made any attempt to go to Texas (or anywhere in the South that was hit hard), he hasn’t even given a public address on the situation, nor has he done a public appearance with FEMA officials back in Washington. In fact, he spent the first part of last week, while the storm was hammering away, playing Mario Kart at Camp David. He then did a town hall on CNN where he did not mention the storm at all before calling an 8am lid later in the week. It’s an extremely unusual way for a president to present himself during such a catastrophe.

But it’s not just optics that are the problem here. News also recently broke that Biden’s emergency order did not go nearly far enough, and to some eyes, appeared to be spiteful towards the needs of Texans.

 Then, after the damage was done, Biden refused to grant disaster status to 70% of the counties requested by TX

No worries.  AOC is raising $$$millions for TX.

By the way ... I like Biteme's new title:  Mario Kart Joe.  Perfect!  :laugh:

Yet another reality grip that needs to be made.   It's only going to get worse, folks.  Spite, vengeance and payback/vitriol is really all the RL is good at... or good for.   If they weren't ignoring Texas, they would be spewing insults.   It's an either/or thing.  I prefer the ignore.

Why would it be good for the President and all his security entourage to go to Texas in the middle of the power outages and tie up additional local police?

So now you're making excuses for Biteme?   Most of the power outage issue has been resolved.   There is no excuse, other than that Biteme, being a typical ahole leftist, couldn't care LESS about Texas and the people in Texas...
or anyone else that mostly voted "NOT" for him.

A very disturbing revelation, Obamacare went into force, with what many call worthless catastrophic coverage.  Many of those that had catastrophic medical problems found they lost their homes with the laughable worthless coverage Obamacare provided.  As we know the democrats keep giving big business and foreign nations favored legislation in response for handsome political donations.  When an energy crisis happens depending on wind generators and solar and it fails, the electrical bills skyrocket into the thousands or tens of thousands upon people desperate trying to survive.  So go's reports from Texas.
Unlike New Orleans when all the blame was tried to be cast on President Bush.  Now the democrats want to share the blame for the Texans being abandoned in their time of need, not on the President,but rather the Texas governor, a Republican.  All that pride and false assurances of solar and wind generators making us independent, and the reality of it making areas CRITICALLY vulnerable. Lets share the blame for enviro-nazis getting their way, eh?  How magnanimous and generous, eh ?
