This is 10000% what was voted for. Especially in states like Kentucky.
Now, they better not cry when FEMA doesn’t do shit, cause they voted for that as well.
The leopards are nom-nomming face.
The thing is - they use these disasters to punish communities they don’t like.
In Oklahoma - I am a (non medical) volunteer for the Medical Reserve Corps. There were calls when small towns like Stroud were hit in 2023 - there was no mobilization for Tulsa in 2023. Both our governor and our lieutenant governor were completely out of the picture, no one even knew who was in charge to even declare a state of emergency. Places in Tulsa were without running water or electricity for weeks after. No one cared - Tulsa is mostly Black and votes Blue.
We are looking at severe weather in Oklahoma tonight. I guarantee, if it takes out a small town like fucking Tishimongo or something - a place that voted for our governor - they’ll get help. If it’s Tulsa - lol.
Well unfortunately this is what Americans voted for.
Except for all the data that says that they absolutely stole the election.

First and last links are the data. The middle links are for us stupid people that need to be told how to read the data in the last link.
With the current state of this country and DC. This could be proved as 100% factual and no chance of any doubt saying otherwise. Everyone involved, could say under oath, yes we did it. And, nothing would happen from it. Absolutely fucking nothing. At most, someone in the senate would write a nasty letter or twit. That’s it.
The fact that tramp even ever had a chance to win with more than 30% of the vote is reason enough for the whole country to be in deep shit and need to figure out what went wrong.
Small Government, Jeezus 'n' Freedom!
It’s been a bit stunning to see double digit death numbers but I guess we will all have to get used to high numbers of deaths under Trump 2.0.
Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. - Donald "Farquaad" Trump.
Nature is slowly healing.
The county in which Jackson is located voted 79% for dump with 4,036 votes. Jackson itself has 2231 people. Very high likelihood the majority if not all of those 23 fatalities were dump supporters.
Nobody could have foreseen this.
At least 23 people died. As if this administration didn't have blood all over its hands already, but they keep choosing to add to the body count
Yeah but tornados are woke and anyone who dies in one is a radical leftist

Deep red southern Kentucky!
unironically the opposite?
We all know that tornados are caused by gay sex, so maybe those people aren't as virtuous as they claim to be?
Purging the dems.

Toto, we're not in Mar-a-Lago anymore.
Hey, at least they're not in Kentucky anymore, eh?
