KEITH WILSON WRITES:

In a beyond the outrageous story, people who believe the hurricane conspiracy BS of the Republican presidential team and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, are acting out against helpers. Per an article in The Guardian by Edward Helmore called “North Carolina hurricane recovery team relocated amid threat of ‘armed militia’” the ridiculous has become reality. The subheadline reads “Hurricane Helene federal emergency workers told to evacuate Rutherford county, Washington Post reports.”

Here are a few paragraphs, “Government emergency workers in the US responding to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina were relocated over the weekend amid concerns that ‘armed militia’ could pose a threat to their safety.

According to an email obtained by the Washington Post, a US Forest Service official sent out a message warning that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) ‘has advised all federal responders Rutherford County, NC, to stand down and evacuate the county immediately.’

The message said that soldiers with the national guard ‘had come across x2 trucks of armed militia saying there were out hunting FEMA.’

The Appalachian county of Rutherford incorporates the mountain towns of Rutherfordton, Forest City and Chimney Rock, which were badly hit by Helene floodwaters that tore away homes, washed out roads and killed dozens.“

Trump’s lies can and do endanger people. To be frank, this behavior is sociopathic, plain and simple. He is the same person who endangered his biggest fans during the pandemic. He is also the guy who said “So, what?” when told of the danger his Vice President was in during the insurrection.

Please pay attention to what is happening because of Trump. This is not leadership behavior. This is not even adult behavior.

I HAVE TO WONDER…

Since Trump appears to be wobbling per observations, I wonder if his staff has plans to guide his actions quietly, should the Republicans win.  Surely they have a big investment in having this unpredictable man win.  I find this current action (see above)  as well as the use of AI to mislead the public (as discussed in yesterday’s blog)  alarming.  I fear the public’s response to widespread voter decertification may result in some unpleasantness November 5.
