One of the strongest hurricanes on record just tore through one of America’s poorest states, literally wiping some towns off the map. We have read that it will be a week to ten days before the power is back on in the hardest-hit areas, even in downtown New Orleans. Despite the awful toll the hurricane took, the U.S. was ready: According to Dayton24-7:

Hundreds of emergency responders were in place in Louisiana and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had power restoration experts and generators at the ready as Hurricane Ida hit on Sunday as one of the most powerful hurricanes to make landfall in the U.S., federal officials said.

Under Donald Trump, there were areas in Puerto Rico that didn’t have power for eleven months.

With respect to COVID, according to The Hill: In all states but New Jersey and Wyoming, the majority of ICU beds are filled. The units in several hard-hit states, including Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Arkansas, are flooded with mostly COVID-19 patients. 

President Biden promised “100 million shots in 100 days,” but according to the New York Times, the nation hit that milestone last week, on his 58th day in office, the president said Thursday. The people who remain unvaccinated are Trump voters. Period.

President Biden just ended America’s longest war. It was a war that defied any sort of explanation as to the length we stayed. Trump pledged to get us out. He did not. Though a tragic bombing (done by ISIS) scarred the evacuation, it was still a success:

The last plane carrying U.S. forces left Afghanistan on Monday, meeting an  Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw U.S. forces from the Taliban-led nation, after 20 years of war that left nearly 2,500 American troops dead and spanned four presidencies. Evacuations originally began in July with at least 122,000 people evacuated out of Afghanistan as of Monday, including 5,400 Americans.

We have an infrastructure bill. Americans are getting checks each month. A much bigger infrastructure bill is coming… all of which makes this both hilarious and terribly pathetic:

Right Eric. To throw paper towels? To leave every Afghan behind? To pronounce it “infrastructure week” again? To allow 500,000 Americans to die? Explain – scream at us – why the United States needs Donald Trump more than ever!

remember Eric is the stupid one https://t.co/PWzCYyYUwg

In prison.
He left off the most important part of that statement.
"We need Donald Trump IN PRISON today more than ever before."
Never forget who made the deal with the Taliban instead of the legitimate government of Afghanistan: Trump and Pompeo. https://t.co/cQKqTuOlLt

We need Trump like we need a hole in the collective head. We barely survived the last 4 years. We're damned lucky Joe Biden is president. https://t.co/MFvV8YBAKi

Eric, we need Donald Trump to face justice for inciting the violent MAGA invasion of the Capitol on Jan 6th.

Under President Biden the stock market is at record highs, GDP & job growth is back in the black & we have ended the 20 year war in Afghanistan!
