Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

and no one bats an eye
Plenty of people are upset, just not most of the people who can vote this guy out. The wealthy and powerful have their feet on the necks of the people... And half of those people are asking for more weight, having bought the lie that this is all for the greater good.
Despite the overwhelming tsunami of evidence available to them 24/7.
Yeah. Propaganda’s a bitch.
tsunami
Oh, no, I thought it was just a hurricane!
He's a ghoul and was running out of dead children to eat.
It’ll work
“seemed political" but at the same time, refuses to take the call.
How do you know the call is political if you refuse to take it?
After all, she's the vice president, not just a political candidate. Organizations like FEMA are part of the executive branch. Your state is and is about to be a disaster site (again). Just pick up the phone, dude.
He's also not spoken to the president either who has attempted to call as well. Biden is not even running for president anymore
Guess he doesn't want the help then!
He wants to say "They didn't help us" later much more than he wants help now.
There is literally no political downside for him. He scores points with the deplorables by ignoring the federal government, and he knows the Dems would never refuse to send aid so he doesn't have to ask for it. Also he can't run for re-election and he got trounced for the GOP ticket by failing to out-Trump Trump, so there's literally nothing on the line for him by being a petty little dick.

Right as it ramps up to a Cat 5? Fucking guy!
That’s Milton. Helene is the one that already hit.
Oh, don't worry, this tactic is likely to persist right on into Milton.
You think he'd answer if she called to plan for Milton instead?
She probably is calling to do exactly that, but Ronnie wouldn't know
This moment for De Santis will go down in history, I think he will largely be remembered for this single horrific moment as Milton slots into the breach, the US will at a national level be a meaningfully different place by the end of the week it is going to be so bad for Florida and elsewhere.
This youtube weather channel has good coverage on the quickly worsening situation with a possible cat 5 milton.

"worst case scenario" keeps coming up as a phrase
... lastly, the end of Ron Desantis's political career from space
Ted Cruise fled to Cancun during the widespread power outages, and DeSantis refused phone calls with help for his state on the line.
there is literally no lower rung on the ladder of "loser" than "pathetic mass murderer"
Yup. Tampa Bay is looking at a major disaster on Wednesday and DeSatans is playing politics with it.
Ryan Hall can be very entertaining but there are much better and professional sources of information out there. My favorite is Tropical Tidbits (https://youtube.com/@tropical-tidbits)
Dr. Levi Cowan is my favorite source of storm information presented in a factual and level-headed manner. I whole-heartedly endorse Tropical Tidbits. I do not endorse Ron DeSantis.
Really appreciate Dr. Levi.

Desantis: declares disaster ahead of Milton in order to coordinate better with federal government
Also Desantis: this
Let's see if they can fuck up florida so badly it goes blue in a month.
Nah all the usual outlets will just spend the next month blaming Biden and every clown will believe it.
GQP: Smaller Gub'ment!
Also GQP: Gimmie!
But also also GQP: Just coz I said gimmie duznt mean I'm takin handouts from the LIBS!
At least the libs are offering help, which we know from the recently unsealed documents that Trump would not be doing for states that didn't vote for him.
Almost like one party runs a government and the other party runs a mob
One wants to run a government, the other wants to prove government doesn't run; it's their whole platform.

"He's hurting the wrong people." His bootlicking followers probably
I’d rather hurt my constituents than work with a lib.
Cool guy. /s
Ron is a little bitch.
What a weird little bitch.
Sounds like Biden just needs to declare martial law and take over the state if the local dumbass won't cooperate. Biden has a duty to protect citizens from tyranny.
As Florida voters are trying to figure out why they're drowning, starving, unsheltered, and alone, just remember that the call rejections were coming from within the house.
What a sad and pathetic excuse for a human being ronnie is.
This storm is a freaking monster. Pressure went below 900mb a few minutes ago.
Desantis is the strongest coward at the white leather boots with lifts store. Fucking loser.
stick his midget ass out in the gulf path of milton and see if he changes his tune
Such a whiny little bitch.
I say we sue Greece for the sum total of damages from Hurricane Helene. It's clearly their fault.
