I believe it is time for Biden to let the country know that he called Gov DeWine immediately after

[Samrob]

the toxic train accident and told him anything he asked for Biden was ready to supply. DeWine did not declare emergency. It's almost as if he wanted the situation to be as bad as it was to keep Biden and the Feds from getting any positive press mention.

The GQP is a clear and present danger to our nation and democracy. People of color are and should be fearful if the GOP take control of all reins of government. Dems especially need to get them out of the State Houses and I believe this is where our focus should be in 2024. We need to work hard to get our House back from the smarmy hands of McCarthy but we also need to begin now to replace Republican governors everywhere we can.

I don't care about the labeling of red or blue. We should not give up on a state because it's labeled red or blue. There are people in quite a few red states who are beginning to see what is really at stake. A few more exposures about FOX and other right wing media coupled with the enforcement and execution of Biden's chip and infrastructure agenda and Dems could take control of at least 4 or 5 governorships and 20 or more House seats.

Yeah, I'm a pessimist with an optimist's heart.

1. Keep ample supplies of both

Pessimism and optimism, that is.

If 10,000 people get poisoned and 400 die because DeWine refused Biden’s help, those immediately affected will take notice, but of those who voted Republican last time, 80% of them will still vote Republican next time if Fox Noise tells them to.

2. My theory is that DeWine called a few officials at the RNC,

asked how he should respond to Biden's offer, they told him to wait until the situation totally disintegrated, and then blame Biden.

3. That's already been public revealed.

4. Biden already said that in ABC interview last Friday and also that EPA was there within 2 hours

He pointed out to David Muir that he talked to the Gov, Senators and Congressmen from the area and EPA was on ground immediately with assurances of any help they needed. The lengthy interview first aired last Friday on their evening news and has been widely publicized but many media outlets have focused more on what he said about repercussions if China helps Russia, no F16's right now for Ukraine and how he has been fully cooperative in the documents case involving docs.

His statements were given little coverage by right wing media since the facts contradict the politicized right wing message blaming him and Buttigieg instead of the railroad company and deregulation of previous Administration.

5. It needs to be repeated much more. The GOP repeats lies over and over again until they are believed

Repeating the truth should not be a problem. The media allows the MAGA to repeat their lies by asking leading questions that evoke their lying responses. We need to scream when they are not doing the same for Dems. Andrea Mitchell and a few others at good at giving the MAGAs opportunities to spew lies while pretending to be objective journalists and never calling them on their lies.
