The agency is also consulting with officials in Alabama, Mississippi and other states that could be affected.GOP officials have curtailed some convention events because of the storm.
why have they not given the Pres. his props for "LEADING" and anticipating disaster and protecting the people who just happen to include the right wing throw caution to the wind, and the former Black chairman they kicked to the curb, who set the date during hurricane season, kinda indicates who has the better leader skills and thoughtful planning, like putting FEMA in place days before the right wing ill-fated convention date.
seems there was no consideration of the thousands of American's that would attend their hatefest, putting them in potential danger.
but as usual our beloved Pres. did, PRESIDENTIAL, hell yes he is.
