What a loving jackass. If someone offers aid, take it. There are millions of people suffering in one form or another and that's more important than your ego.

I don't care if North goddamn Korea would offer aid. Happily take it.

But his ego!

This is so hosed up. I swear to loving God. If he refuses aid for American citizens because of his racism it should be probable cause for a riot. But I know it won't be.

@texas goons, while I'm probably at risk of being a company shill with this, UHAUL is offering free storage to Hurricane victims for a month. Been coordinating relief being sent south and have helped secure a few Rockport folks storage today so I figured I'd just throw it out there. I know there's still availability in Corpus Christie.

This. Even the reddest places still have 10% of the population that doesn't deserve to be punished for the lovely behavior of their neighbors. And even the dumbest Trump voter doesn't deserve to drown because they voted for him.

Yeah, but those offers are generally made to either embarrass the receiving nation or are logistically not viable.

Venezuela made a big show about offering low-cost heating oil to poor Americans and then trumped it up as a sign their socialist revolution was better than those capitalist pigs in El Norte. I wouldn't be surprised if Cuba's offer was similar.

The real question is whether we needed 1500 doctors and medicine and I'm not sure we did. There were problems (read Five Days at Memorial if you want a harrowing account) but those were because no one could get to those areas, not because we didn't let Cuba send people.

Trump negotiates for aid from Mexico. He then immediately has every sandbag, crate of blankets, bag of food, and bottle of water stacked along the Mexican border. Thousands go without these precious resources, while Donald goes on TV to cackle and shout "See, I made Mexico pay for the wall!"

What the gently caress kind of executive thinks "I know, let's reduce the size of this department of 15000 people" and decides "If I leave the ONE SEAT at the very top of the hierarchy unfilled, that'll make a huge dent in the size of the organization!"

I mean if you accept that a desirable goal is to reduce the size of the thing, you trim sub-branches, you reassign and consolidate—but all this poo poo still needs someone at the top making decisions, and not having a boss now just means you have 14999 people with no direction

Nah, Cuba generally sends shitloads of aid to countries suffering disasters. The help that was going to go to Katrina instead went to Pakistan to help out following the earthquake in Kashmir.

NPR has been centrist, apologist, both-sides garbage for a long time now. It's entirely toothless and avoids anything even remotely close to criticism out of a need for "bipartisanship" (read: they're pussies).

Morning Edition and Steve Inskeep in particular were garbage before, during, and after the election. I also noticed when he interviews Republicans he lets them stick to their talking points, but grills Democrats. He also kept going on about "the white working class voter" but seems to ignore every other demographic / issue.

The rest of NPR is fine though. I really like All Things Considered and Fresh Air.

The issue with making broad statements like "gently caress X state" or "Burn the South" is that it's taking any ownership away from the decent people who live there. It's actually furthering the white/conservative narrative that they're the real owners of the regional identity, and everyone else is secondary, inferior, or undeserving of a voice.
