"I'd rethink that. I suspect that 500, minimum, is a reasonable estimate. Some counties are requesting a *lot* of body bags, and I'm not entirely sure authorities have even reached all the affected areas yet, even now. But it ain't gonna be 20k, either"

Looks like the 200-300 number is gonna be on the money…Cooper says only 92 still missing:

You can't trust what King Kooper says! Lest you forget, he's a member of the woke liberal gubmint in Rawley and part of the old north deep state!

Republicans don't trust media outlets, but trust random online sources, word of mouth and Fox News the most

Republicans want small government, but want to overhaul the entire government

what do they want

what do they really stand for right now

it confuses me why people are proud of their support for Trump

I guess everything confuses me

Among the many things that confuse you, this one is legitimate and excusable.

I guess I'm just confused why people think I support trump, or government at all for that matter.

I’m still seeing the FEMA threats story being treated as just the one guy that was arrested based entirely on the statements from the Rutherford County Sheriff. I’m not buying it.

"Because of the bridges washed out in the community, the area is now a much longer drive from the sheriff’s department. That doesn’t sit well with Carter County Sheriff Mike Fraley, and it’s why he’s working to get a sub-station up and running at the site of the now washed-away fire department. Two deputies will be stationed there 24 hours a day. Fraley suspects the group that confronted Elder is from North Carolina. According to other sheriffs, he’s spoken to, they’ve been causing these problems on both sides of the state line and it’s unacceptable."

The sheriff’s are talking to each other and there is a lot more here than what they’ve let on to in the press. It’s multiple groups throughout WNC and some out-of-towners. Some of the groups are known to the Sheriffs and they are tracking their movements.

In fact, I’m going to go ahead and call it. The truckload of militia in Rutherford/Polk/Mitchell counties were goons that made the trip with Sheriff Chuck Wright. Sheriff Ellington with Rutherford Co is covering for him. This dude they arrested is probably a shit bag, but he is also a fall guy. We are going to keep getting snippets of this story over the next few months.

From where did Chuck Wright come? Is he a native from NC? Or from out of state?

10/17/2024 10:10:53 AM

SC

Spartanburg County, SC -- just south of Rutherford County, NC

"Dr. Mollie James posted the claim Tuesday morning on the social media platform X. James joined other medical personnel at a grassroots disaster relief center set up at the Avery County Airport and posted that 15 people, including children, had died overnight from hypothermia. As of Wednesday afternoon, the post had been seen more than 900,000 times, had been reposted more than 5,400 times and had been liked more than 8,300 times."

Quote :

"Avery County Sheriff’s Office deputies have an active investigation into James and into her intent behind spreading the false rumor, Stemper said."

I think we have an answer

Quote :

"James is licensed in Iowa and Missouri as an osteopathic physician and surgeon. She has hosted a pair of podcasts, with episode titles that address free speech in medicine and that discuss legal strategies against vaccine mandates."

(she's a right-wing nut)

"SPARTANBURG — A week after Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright blasted the federal response to Helene in North Carolina and said the Biden administration should "let the good men and women around the mountain area and the foothills take care of our own," he offered a very different message: Leave FEMA alone. The comments came in the wake of concerns about threats and ultimately unfounded reports of an armed militia taking aim at Federal Emergency Management Agency employees as they responded in Rutherford County, N.C. — concerns that briefly caused FEMA to abandon the county while they determined whether it was safe for its personnel. In a video posted Oct. 14 to Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office's social media accounts, Wright said his deputies will "come to the mountains and hunt you down" if you harm or hinder FEMA employees."

Now overcompensating in the opposite direction. I’m definitely convinced it was his goons making some of the original threats at this point.

Thanks, Cuck!

I mean, Chuck!

Apparently there weren’t quite as many deaths in the Asheville area as initially reported…or is this just a secret Cooper/FEMA/Soros coverup attempt??
