just now, on the weather channel, officials in dougherty county, georgia were BEGGING for help after tornados and storms cut a damaging swath through multiple small towns. the extensive damage caused by the storms and tornados caused multiple fatalities, destroyed homes and multiple businesses, including proctor & gamble and coats & clarks facilities.
ft stewart military base was damaged (no injuries) and a major power line supplying electricity to the region was destroyed. many people are still missing and feared dead.
the official speaking, no...pleading, for help repeatedly stated they did not need money but resources. he stated that he personally flew to washington to ask for fema aid and how difficult it is for proud people to ask for help.
what is happening in georgia today has not been resolved, but there was an important executive order signed today to remove part of the aca that will enable employers to opt out of funding healthcare.
priorities. and circles … dantesque circles … and it is all coming to pass from day one. the storms raged in georgia while the band played on — and the storms continue to move up the coast.
massive snowfall, mudslides in california, record snowfall in many states, flooding and storms throughout the states.
will a tweet make it better? will lack of healthcare repair the broken bones left in the wake of storms? will the new part time resident in the whitehouse finally realise it is HIS responsibility to “fix” the damage?
already, the stress is showing — what toll will it take on america to finally prove that the presidency isn’t an apprenticeship or reality teevee show where the director yells CUT! and the scene is reset for a different outcome.
and, so it begins.
welcome to hell… how long it takes to emerge from the abyss is unknown, but, hopefully, some will survive to tell the tale of how america lost its ability to see reality vs fiction.
frankly, i fear this is only the befinning of our long journey into the depths of despair.
