His base masturbated to the stunt. He got his money's worth. And now his base who are anti government are going to love that he is bipartisan and reaching out for hand outs. 

Fuck him and his base.

When Hannity asked about the call with Biden, DeSantis said: "What I said today is my phone line is open when people's lives and their property are at risk like this.

"We all need to work together regardless of party lines. The Biden administration has approved our request for a pre-landfall declaration and did that very quickly. So we're thankful for that."

DeSantis said that there will be more requests for federal assistance, especially for Floridians that may have been displaced by the major storm.

Of course he does. And he won’t thank Biden for his help. And if by some chance a hurricane hits New York in the near future, he’ll bitch about them getting federal aid. We know the GOP playbook.

I hope White House advisors are hard at work figuring out the best way to get as much aid to Floridians as quickly as possible, all while having Joe Biden make DeSantis gargle his balls in the process.

  Quote

As a freshman congressman in 2013, Ron DeSantis was unambiguous: A federal bailout for the New York region after Hurricane Sandy was an irresponsible boondoggle, a symbol of the “put it on the credit card mentality” he had come to Washington to oppose.

“I sympathize with the victims,” he said. But his answer was no.

Nearly a decade later, as his state confronts the devastation and costly destruction wrought by Hurricane Ian, Mr. DeSantis is appealing to the nation’s better angels — and betting on its short memory.

Expand  

 

  Quote

“As you say, Tucker, we live in a very politicized time,” Mr. DeSantis, now Florida’s governor, told Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night, outlining his request for full federal reimbursement up front for 60 days and urging the Biden administration to do the right thing. “But you know, when people are fighting for their lives, when their whole livelihood is at stake, when they’ve lost everything — if you can’t put politics aside for that, then you’re just not going to be able to.”

Expand  

 

 

  Quote

The tonal whiplash for Mr. DeSantis reflects a different job and a different moment — a Tea Party-era House Republican now steering a perennially storm-battered state dependent once more on federal assistance to rebuild. Yet even in the context of his term as governor, the hurricane has required Mr. DeSantis to test another gear.

i am no DeSantis fan*, but this hurricane is giving him a chance to look like an effective leader.

I haven't been watching super closely on all the big new cable channels, but on the surface, he is coming off pretty well.

Seems like a rather obvious call to make if it's heading straight for heavily populated areas.  

Weather Advisor: "Governor, it'll be coming ashore in a matter of hours. We should issue the evacuation orders."

DeSantis: "No, let's wait and see what happens.  Let's wait until it officially makes landfall."

Weather Advisor: "Landfall, sir?  When it arrives on land?  Land is where the people live."

Saw it being mentioned a bunch on social media, but haven’t looked into it enough to determine the validity, but some are claiming DeSantis and others have been asking for disaster relief donations to be directed to them.  It would be completely on brand for Republicans to do this, and then only spend that money on Republican areas.

If you can look past the fact that he’s unrepentantly pro-rising sea level, Desantis is exactly the leader this country needs in a hurricane.

Of course they voted against it.  They knew it'd pass without their votes.  Now when a disaster hits a Blue state they can vote against similar relief and point back to this claiming they even voted against it in their own state...but still benefiting from this current relief.

Perla getting her shit put on blast everywhere

Huerta served in the US Army for more than 20 years, US Army spokesperson Madison Bonzo confirmed to CNN.

“Perla Haydee Huerta served as a Combat Medic Specialist (68W) and Counterintelligence Agent (35L) in the regular Army from April 2002 to August 2022. She deployed to Iraq from May 2003 to July 2004 and October 2008 to October 2009; Afghanistan from December 2010 to July 2011, September 2014 to January 2015, August 2018 to November 2018 and January 2019 to February 2019; and Djibouti from August 2013 to October 2013,” Bonzo said. “She held the rank of master sergeant at the end of service.”

She made it to E-8 and retired.   Not a shabby career at all, but pissed it all away for DeSantis.

And there I was thinking "Haydee" was a People of Walmart handle, but no, it's Byronesque...

"Origin:Greek

Meaning:well-behaved, modest

Haydee is a girl’s name of Greek origin. This sweet name means “well-behaved” and “modest,” two desirable traits for any new addition to your family. Haydee is also an alternative version fo the Greek name Haidee, which appears in Lord Byron’s poetical work Don Juan. The 'y' addition to the name brings it into the modern day. Haydee is a charming alternative to names like Haylee or Heidi."

Meanwhile, Biden reassures Puerto Rico without throwing paper towels at them:

PONCE, Puerto Rico (AP) — President Joe Biden arrived in Puerto Rico on Monday to survey damage from Hurricane Fiona, as tens of thousands of people remain without power two weeks after the storm hit.

The Category 1 hurricane knocked out electrical power to the U.S. territory of 3.2 million people, 44% of whom live below the poverty line.

Power has been restored to about 90% of the island’s 1.47 million customers, but more than 137,000 others, mostly in the hardest hit areas of Puerto Rico’s southern and western regions, continue to struggle in the dark. Another 66,000 customers are without water.

Biden has pledged that the U.S. government will not abandon Puerto Rico as it starts to rebuild again, five years after the more powerful Hurricane Maria devastated the island in 2017. 

While leaving the White House on Monday morning, the president said he was going in part because people there “haven’t been taken very good care of,” and they were “trying like hell to catch up from the last hurricane
