   Tis the season of the donation. Every cause you can think of has a hand out asking for money. There are causes and causes but most of us do not have pockets that are so full that we can give it all away without it biting us in the ass. 

    One major issue is the damage done by the hurricane from Florida to North Carolina. So what is being done to help? The lies about help or no help based on political issues is as ridiculous as the idiot making the comments. Both candidates have visited the states that are in shambles and has it helped? 

    If they want to assist the victims why are they not putting their money into helping? The donation of one day’s take would make a big difference. If Elon can give 45 million to Trump why can he not give that much to help? Sounds like silly questions, but the simple fact is that actions speak louder than words. 

     At such times the way someone votes is far from a consideration of whether they get help or not. The storm, created in nature as all such storms are, doesn’t give a damn about your politics, the color of your skin or anything  else, it just kicks ass and lets it go at that.

     As to what happens next in regards to storms it is possible that another is going to happen, that would be normal. The response by the candidates, future leaders of the nation, should be that all that need the help get it. That help has to be dispensed equally based on need. Past performance tells us that one candidate is not capable of doing that as he withheld help from areas with major fires because they were not of his party. 

    Childish, vindictive behavior is not what is needed to become the leader of the United States. If nothing else can change your view of Donald J Trump his attitude and remarks about this devastation should. He may be very supportive of these states as they primarily vote republican but he is looking to get sent to prison for crimes in Georgia, so that state may not get a positive resolution.
