Joe Ferguson forever

Take a look at the board of United Way of SWVA. These are all local folks with the majority of their friends and family in the region. They care. Other regional United Ways are similar. What did the United Way do to you?

No. You just hate "the establishment". stop spreading misinformation https://unitedwayswva.charityproud.org/Donate/MiniCampaign/34132?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery "United Way of Southwest Virginia has activated the 2024 SWVA Regional Disaster Relief Fund to assist those impacted by the flooding. All 2024 SWVA Regional Disaster Relief Fund donations will go directly to support those impacted by the September 2024 flood."

I'm not in NC right now. A good friend picked up his son and his family from there earlier this week. They're living with him now for the foreseeable future. Asheville is not doing well. I'm pretty familiar with rural WNC. There are only a few major roads thru the mountains there and I've been on most of them at one time or another. The terrain without those roads is extremely challenging. No doubt there are people still in great need and they are getting anxious, hungry, thirsty and angry. (as an aside, people who grew up in these areas are often quite skilled in survival efforts like canning, hunting, fishing etc) But demonizing those in the government who are trying to help is evil. Damascus Va is no Asheville. It's rural and red. The United Way has set up a volunteer area at the entrance to town. It's well organized. It's extremely well stocked. Many folks don't want their property worked on til insurance adjusters and FEMA evaluate. I have yet to hear of anyone there complaining about FEMA. But everyone is talking about the disaster and what is being done to help.

Because reality is ugly for them Uglier than this terrible tragedy. The truth is their enemy. World Kitchen has proven its value over many tragedies. If you want to donate to individuals, go for it. If you want to donate to an entity proven to be a huge asset to weather victims, Chef Andres' charity is an excellent choice. We chose to give to the local United Way as did several important local businesses. The disparagement of these vital charities is shameful.

TheR's will bargain liberal Asheville out of the aid then approve it. Remember trump and the california fires? https://www.politico.com/newsletters/california-playbook-pm/2024/10/03/trump-disaster-aid-00182450

Yes, because before today we D's enjoyed being blamed for a bad economy. We could have fixed it by clicking our glass slippers together but chose not to.

yes, what does not follow? The post is straightforward and has no real conclusion except that he was speaking to a half filled gym while bragging about crowd size. Did you mean his bragging was a non sequitur?

no, I mean what in the post about a 1/2 filled gym in a thread about disaster funds is a non sequitur.

nope. don't follow your logic at all. what is a non sequitur?

the gym is half full. what doesn't follow?

S&P futures up almost 1%. Employment growing, inflation down https://finance.yahoo.com/news/september-jobs-report-crushes-expectations-as-us-economy-adds-254000-jobs-unemployment-rate-falls-to-41-123503927.html if this is recession, I can't wait for boom times

Necrophilia fits you to a T. Scumbag

somebody hand you a used thesaurus and dictionary? Look at you trying to sit at the adult table...but falling flat. I'm not racist but that's what MAGAs do: project their failings on the other. I was merely explaining to the uninformed the history of R and D in the south. There was nary a single southern R after the civil war. The KKK was D. And now MAGA owns most of those historic areas and families.

Is that any different than what you do? Call anyone who have a different opinion than you hitler, racist? not anyone. just the ones who are of that tribe and are easily identifiable.

Could it just be that this is a rescue mission of epic scale, in rough terrain with isolated towns and houses? Nah. It’s all a conspiracy. Y’all are f’ed in the head. My region is actually well stocked for food, water and supplies. Virginia strong. Proud of my neighbors.

remember when the Republican party was the party of Lincoln? Me too. I miss that. and it's byrd.

the pamphlets and undoubtedly the swastika were not produced by modern day dems. I wasn't around during the KKK hey day. I suspect the descendants of those people are now MAGAs. I'm vehemently anti socialism: to the victors go the spoils. People like spenser and I are only similar in that we are both human.

anything to expose scummy haters while you defend them. why? liberals don't hide under sheets and secrecy. And they're easily found - at university towns and affluent cities like asheville or Charlottesville. scummy haters can also be geographically and economically located....

hoax. they really happened and the splc hate map of nc correlates pretty closely with where i've seen the worst haters there...

Ignore….problem solved

No such thing as neo nazis and splc is a joke https://www.splcenter.org/seeking-justice/case-docket/berhanu-v-metzger
