I am pleased the guy was able to  rescue his cat at the end of the second video ????

 The devastation shows why flood insurance is impossible to get in hurricane alley. 

And Governor DeSantis is asking the Federal government for emergency aid. This is the same guy who voted against emergency aid for the Northeast when Hurricane Sandy wreaked terrible damage there. As did 178 other Republicans in the House.. I hope Biden and other Democrats remind Floridians of this when they push for assisting Florida as most, if not all, surely will.

Not everything has to be political with the left and the right throwing pelters at each other . 

    There has been a massive storm in Florida , the left and right bickering can be put to the side for a while

I don't think so.  Do you think it's insignificant that the Democrats will behave oppositely to the Republicans when their fellow citizens are in distress? I think the Republicans should be called to account for their vile actions. And before an election is a great time to do it. That will outline a huge difference between the 2 parties.

Why? Aid will flow to the people who need it whether Democrats point out how vile the Republicans have been or not. This is what's called a teachable moment. Do you think the Republicans deserve some sort of amnesty for what they did? Or maybe you believe that they did nothing wrong at all?

Please. You managed to contribute extensively to threads about American politic The fact is, what the Republicans did is morally indefensible and you've just go no way to defend it.

Considering there's been terrible storm with potentially  many people dying , I don't think that this thread is an appropriate place got the usual pelter throwing .

   Someone may be along soon though to have a fight, who knows ?

It's because many people have died and many are in distress that this is exactly the right time to raise the issue. There's a vote coming soon and it's important for voteers to know the kind of people they'll have to choose from. Those who turn their backs on their fellow Americans when they're down or those who turn towards them to help. As I noted before: a teachable moment. Prissiness about unpleasantess is just an excuse for not facing facts about the debased nature of the Republcan party.

I've read your posts. They're not about entertainment value. If that were the case, you wouldn't so clearly have picked a side.

What is the latest with the storm , has it all blown over or is there likely be more stormy weather to come ?

It's heading to South Carolina. It's expected to land shortly as a Category 1 Hurricane.

As climatologists have predicted, due to human caused global warming, hurricanes are becoming increasingly more powerful.

try to not be so insensitive.   6800 posts and you are not even talking about the most powerful storm in US history.  There are actual Americans interested, but clearly you have some sinister agenda.   Please grow up, it's very childish behavior.    shameful.

I hope the democrats use this strategy for mid terms. It will clearly show the democrats for the vile, uncaring people they are.

Right. A big majority of Republicans voted against disaster aid for their fellow Americans and it's the Democrats who are uncaring? Get back to me after the vote and we'll see how uncaring the Democrats are
