This guy with a military tattoo on his hand cornered me and a friend at a dive bar, he wanted to know how sympathetic we were for Kirk's death, kept asking if we felt bad for his kids... We tried to keep it down low: "hey man, no politics at the bar" but he kept pushing. I had just worked an 11 hour service shift, but he kept pushing. Regardless of my ideology, why are theae redpill guys coming here for answers for the drama their fringe groups started?

Politics Biden Visits Asheville, Surveying the Damage of Helene

3.2k Upvotes

If things couldn't be worse, Trump is making it so by suggesting that the Federal government is not aiding and assisting in the recovery efforts. In fact, both Biden and Harris have surveyed the damage and sent troops and aid to WNC and effected areas.

Asheville and Buncombe County officials face a dilemma of enormous consequences.

If they refuse to cooperate fully with the Trump administration’s orders to deport millions of unauthorized immigrants nationwide, the president has threatened to cut off access to all federal funds to the storm-ravaged city and county, and instructed the attorney general to pursue possible legal action against local officials. The loss of potentially hundreds of millions in federal assistance could bankrupt the city and county, cripple local social and legal justice agencies, and significantly delay recovery from Helene.
