...what they saw...

Reasons to be Cheerful (1, 2, 3): I do not belong to a
party currently needing to dance some
*deflective/distractive miracle* around the fact that my
candidates don't give a flying fuck about anyone but
themselves and the masturbation of their egos, and
enacting fascism in this country so they can pretend
they're gods...
This in itself should be milked for all the joy it can
offer........plus the fact that they cannot win, of
course... *whew* Sometimes the sheer staggering
phenomenon *of the fact that they exist* can have me
forgetting that for a millisecond...lol...

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has released a new
ad starring two people who worked in former President
Donald Trump's first administration.
The ad features Kevin Carroll, a former senior counsel at
the Department of Homeland Security, and Olivia Troye, a
former homeland security adviser to Vice President Mike
Pence. The two one-time Trump White House officials
discuss what they say is his calamitous response to
providing disaster relief.
"Never in a million years did I think that I'd be working
in the White House with a president that didn't care
about the American people," said Troye toward the start
of the ad.
The two officials then went on to recount how Trump
didn't want to provide disaster relief to California
after it suffered from a deadly wildfire on the grounds
that the state had voted heavily against him in the 2016
presidential election.
"He would suggest not giving disaster relief to states
that hadn't voted for him," said Carroll.
"This isn't normal," added Troye. "The job of the
president is to protect Americans, regardless of
politics."
Carroll then warned that if Trump wins another
presidential election, "There will be no one to stop his
worst instincts" and "you'll have yes-men help him
implement Project 2025's agenda: Unchecked power, no
guardrails."
Carroll and Troye aren't the only two former Trump
officials to claim that he politicized disaster relief,
as Mark Harvey, Trump's one-time senior director for
resilience policy on the National Security Council staff,
recently revealed that he once convinced Trump to
authorize disaster relief to California by pulling up
voting results showing a significant concentration of
Republican voters in Orange County.
