POTUS At Your Service

On 'Meet the Press', Chuck Todd asked Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava if she was getting all the resources she needed. She replied that President Biden called her early in the morning after the collapse and told her he would provide whatever she needed, and early that afternoon the head of FEMA showed up and asked what can we do and what do you need?




Quite the contrast to Bonzo Ronnie's, "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help."

And the media would be filled with what HE was doing, whether it was truthful or not. Probably not. He wouldn't be doing a damn thing unless HE benefited personally.

Juxtapose that with Joe Biden. A President doing his job, quietly and competently. I've noticed, other then the occasional Republican wackaloon, the news cycle has become rather boring. Maybe that's just because I'm use to a constant stream of crazy shit since 2016. I kind of like boring.

As someone who spent much of his career chasing — or being chased by — this hurricane, that flood, or the other tornado — I know whereof I speak.

There was a reason why President Obama appointed Craig Fugate as FEMA director. Craig saw Florida through some pretty tough times, effectively and efficiently. THIS is the kind of leadership Florida needs right now.

As opposed to Ronnie DeathSentence, who obviously doesn’t give a tinker’s “damn” about state-level support. Or, who lives? And who dies?
