Biden will keep the focus on helping the people of North Carolina. Trump would look for ways to enrich himself or do photo ops where he throws paper towels at people.

Biden will help everyone. Trump would have done absolutely nothing.

His number one crony is from North Carolina.

Aren't you, Mr. Meadows? Anything you'd like to say about this situation? No?

Didn't think so. (He won't be saying a word until the aid is secured. Then, watch his worthless ass...)

A bridge near her is out and most of the roads were closed due to landslides. She has no power and spotty internet/cell service. The club near her has a generator but will run out of propane tonight or tomorrow. They cleared the roads so that single lanes can get through. It took her 4 hours to go 20 miles but she is now in a part of North Carolina with fairly open roads and power. She has a second home that has power that she is headed to. It was nice to talk to her.
