He was just being a sulky boy because nobody would let him nuke that hurricane.

Anyone trying to politicize any disaster is an absolute piece of garbage.

Hard disagree, many disasters were directly caused by political decisions. Such as the severity and frequency of the last decade of hurricanes. We chose to make them that severe, actively, wantonly chose that. It should be political.

Going to agree with you here, if the people who decide disaster relief are elected or controlled by elected officials, it is inherently political. Was this not the same year that the ex president insulted himself by calling the president of Puerto Rico names do to his response to a hurricane. You know, the same hurricane they obstructed relief funding for

Give the man some credit. He gave them some paper towels.

Well how else are they supposed to keep the money for themselves? ;)

But but he is bringing them star link now!!! /s

So this politics sub leans far left too?

This is far left to you? Jesus fucking Christ. We’re doomed.

This article is pointing out something Trump did while in office, hence it's "far-left" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

American politics is so fucked, man.

Its the truth. It happened. Pointing out how a dolt45 handled assistance for a hurricane in 2017 is just fact. It is also a fact that Biden isn't playing a childish game like that. He is getting the help where its needed. Its not right vs left. Its right vs wrong.

Trump invited it by lying and saying Biden isn't offering any help.

But also yes.
