I set one of the bank's VPs back on her heels this morning.
Once a year I have to attend a meeting at the bank whose funds transfer system I interact with for my accounting work. Afterwards, I was chit-chatting with the two bank officials I had met with, and the conversation turned to the hurricanes. I explained I had some relatives in the mountains around Ashville who are OK, but with no power or water, although I hadn't heard if any of that was back on yet. I said with most of the roads being washed out and basically gone, they might have a challenging time for a while. The VP said she really felt sorry for those who couldn't get to anyplace to get the things they needed, and that airlifts were finally happening. I said, well the damage and destruction just occurred a week ago and you don't re-build mountain roads overnight. The people just need to listen to their local officials on the ground and stop listening to Fox News, which is all lies. That statement created a long pause in the conversation, with her looking at me in disbelief. I just continued to look her straight in the eyes....And then the subject changed....

      I actually believe this one, because all it does is demonstrate that the DUmmy is an asshole, and they just told on themselves. In any event, I don't recall any patience being called for when Katrina hit.

      Heckuva job, Bideny!

"Back on her heels"? Even taken at face value it looks like the VP was being to polite to retort, "You really are stupid," or "I like pie." Wanting to keep a customer's business sometimes forces restraint.

As she explained there were and are airlifts going on, so they don't need roads to get everywhere. And depending on the damage to those roads, a Humvee can get almost anywhere better than most civilian four-wheel drive vehicles and an ATV might be able to get to some places. The look on her face was probably there because she couldn't believe she just witnessed nuclear grade stupidity. If it happened of course.

Biden Harris expect less and not even get that.

The bank VP was talking about how she felt sorry for the victims of the hurricane, and this DU poster abruptly decided to insert politics and "something, something, FOX NEWS!!!" into the conversation? Yeah, I'd have been thinking "What the hell?" too, if I were the bank VP.

I agree with you. It's always hilarious to me when the DUmbass pieces of excrement think they've shown how intelligent and woke they are when they've instead revealed how stupid and ignorant they are.

Meh, 1 bong on the bouncy meter. No rapturous applause, no crying, cops jumping out of bushes, no conversion.

This VP at a bank (if this story is even real) realized quickly how stupid you were and your statement that she changed the subject rather than listen to further of your frothing leftist rantings. That's how normal people size up morons in any public or private discourse.

This VP at a bank

     Now think about this story from the perspective of a DUmmy (might be hard, I know): they think this DUmmy is a high-roller because they consort with "VPs at a bank", which in the eyes of a DUmmy means they were dealing with Milburn Drysdale. Surely this was speaking "Truth To Power," because those banksters were finally cornered by a real-live DEMOCRAT.

     In reality, however, pretty much every bank has scores if not hundreds of VPs, and most of them do fairly mundane things (like what this DUmmy said they do) and are as close to being "banksters" as a DUmmy is to being significant to a DNC exec.

     Even if completely true, these VPs looked ta each other and said, "what an asshole," after which they went to see if there are any bagels left in the breakroom.

     Womp womp.

You had me at the Beverly Hillbillies reference.

I've been through multiple hurricanes, including Katrina, and the recovery process is always the same.  Normally, three to five days of taking care of yourself while the roads get cleared enough that minimal resources can enter the area and then a gradual restoration of things like electricity, phones and cable.  At the same time, every recovery process is unique based on the amount of storm damage and the geography of the affected areas.  New Orleans posed challenges due to the amount of flooding that effectively cut it off from rescue workers.  The mountainous areas of North Carolina also create a significant challenge to getting help to people.  Those of us that have been through natural disasters recognize that nobody can just snap their fingers and fix everything.  The difference in Hurricane Katrina is that was the first storm I've been through where people tried to score political points off of the disaster.  FEMA's response to Katrina was historically typical.  Some things were done well, some not so much.  Lots of issues with coordinating the people on the ground, but that's not unusual in such a large recovery effort.  But the Democrats, with the assistance of the media like CNN and MSNBC, completely misrepresented what was actually happening on the ground down here.  I missed most of the BS in real-time, because it took a couple weeks for me to get my electricity restored and get reconnected to the outside world.  When I finally got to see the national reporting, I couldn't believe the complete lies that were being thrown around.  Unfortunately, that has now become the new "normal".  I wish all politicians, regardless of party, would stop with the finger pointing.  The people on the ground are not helped by a bunch of partisan bickering.

Katrina, politicized, with lies

Sandy, not politicized

Maria, politicized, with lies

Helene and Milton, not politicized

What is the pattern?

Don't forget this one from Ireland while Joplin was blown off the map:
