David Pederson: People are still lying about our climate - I can no longer trust anything that the Republicans say.

I Could Be Wrong - October 05, 2024
And the lies continue. I have heard it said that both sides lie to the American people. I used to believe that but not anymore. No time in our history have we been lied to more than we are being lied to by the Republican Party and by their candidate running for President, Donald Trump. With all the lies we have been told I can no longer trust anything that the Republicans say.
Yesterday, Trump went to Georgia saying he was there to help. What he was there was a photo op. You don't show up to a disaster area in a suit and tie to help. Jimmy Carter would have been there with his work clothes and his gloves and would just start pitching in and not having an impromptu stage built so he can give a speech. When it comes to being a humanitarian Trump can't hold a candle to a person like Jimmy Carter but the Republicans will try and project him as such. Trump's presence was more of a distraction than anything else and he should have stayed away. In my opinion it took away available resources that could have been used to actually help people. During Trump's speech of course he lied and there is no more accurate way to put it. He said that Biden was not returning the Governor's calls which was not true. As if Governor Kemp didn't have enough to deal with now he has to deal with Trump's lie and state that the President had given him everything he had asked for. Trump said FEMA was not helping when FEMA was all over the place. The National Guard was too. This may just be one of the biggest natural disasters in the history of this nation and there's no time for Trump's politics of lies. It is counterproductive and accomplishes nothing.
We have two months left in the Hurricane season. To hear Trump talk you would think it is almost over. He made a statement, who would have known we would have a Hurricane so late in the season. Any fifth grader would have known, because as I stated, we still have two months of the Hurricane season remaining. Helene also made landfall one day before the anniversary of Ian and hit Southwestern Florida September 28th just two years ago. Now we have Marjorie Taylor Green, you know the Jewish laser lady, is stating that Democrats can control the weather. Not the Federal Government but the Democrats control the weather so they can influence the election. She states that they are targeting Republicans. I would be willing to bet that in all of the states that were hit by Helene there is a large number of Democrats along with Republicans. I would be willing to bet there are a number of members of the Libertarian and the Green Party too. To say that Democrats are controlling the weather to target Republicans is stupid and inflammatory. It is just as stupid as when she said the Jewish Lasers from space were causing the wildfires.
Now we have Trump saying Democrats are stealing the FEMA money and giving it to illegal aliens so they will vote Democratic. He said they are stealing the money just like someone is robbing a bank. I know that is a lie. The Governors have said that the Federal Government has given them everything that they asked for.

The republicans have put us all--and all of America's children-- at grave risk so they can continue to line their grifty pockets with sleazy oil and influence megabucks.
