As Trump lies (and lies and lies) about FEMA, GOP gets called out on Hurricane Helene ‘hypocrisy’

1. Just when you think GOP lying is as vile and absurd as it can get, Trump and friends find a way to multiply it by a trillion.

2. Are people in North Carolina okay? Who gives a shit. Let’s talk shit about Donald Trump.

3. I’m in Asheville and while, yeah the situation is bad, the federal, state and local governments are doing a job worthy of my tax dollars. We see 5-6 helicopters an hour from sunrise to sunset heading in the direction of Chimney Rock and Lake Lure, two of the areas hardest hit. Trump, Laura Loomer and the rest of these charlatans are liars and flim flam men and women. I’m thankful this didn’t happen under his dumpster fire leadership because he’d probably have stripped FEMA of its funding. State governments from other states are chipping in, state troopers from Louisiana and Connecticut are here volunteering and running shelters. It’s deplorable he’s using this as an excuse to advance his awful agenda. They just found a little kid dead in the river not but an hour ago yet this is an opportunity for Trump.

4. Milton is right around the corner and these jerks are playing games

   Shame on them all

5. It’s rather interesting how far free and political speech stretches. Demonstrably harmful lies and deceptions in a critical situation and…nada, nunca. I’d really like to see these chaotic evil ass-clowns have some consequences…something, anything?

6. Refreshing to see a news source using the proper term “lies” instead of the cowardly “falsely claims” In the headline.

7. Creating problems then campaigning on them.

8. I feel Trump has single-handedly destroyed the GOP. There’s no coming back from this clown show.

9. Lie! Lie! Lie!

10. “The FEMA funding for the program has increased from $363.8 million in fiscal year 2023 to $650 million in fiscal year 2024. Now, city officials and politicians are asking it be funded by as much as $3 billion.”

    Sorry, it’s true.

11. Thom Tillis basically called Trump and all his people “CLUELESS”

12. We are once again fighting over objective reality.

13. I know this sort of thing has been normalized for years, but…this is fucking unacceptable. Fuck every single person who supports this fucking evil shit. Yes. You, personally.

14. The Bill is called the Secure Borders Act, if you decide to give it a read.

15. Again with the quotes. It’s not “hypocrisy.” It’s hypocrisy.

16. Further proof of how evil GOP is. Playing with people’s lives just so make some fake headlines in right wing land of a course their supporters love it.

17. > Glenn Jacobs, mayor of Knoxville, Tenn., tweeted that if MAGA “could maybe put aside hate for a little bit and pitch in to help, that would be great.”

    When even Kane thinks you’re being too hateful…

18. It’s frustrating to see Trump spreading lies about Hurricane Helene while victims need support. The GOP’s hypocrisy is glaring, especially when even Republican leaders praise the federal response. We need honesty, not more divisive rhetoric!
