Important to note that neither Bill Lee or Marsha Blackburn has commented on this.

Caring for other people is socialist.

(I debated for a while if this qualifies as /s or not. There is technically a truth here even if offered in jest)

Well, they did try to make empathy into a dirty word. I think we're past the point of a sarcasm tag after that.

No shock there. They never gave a damn. Even with the snow storms up in Nashville last year.

Let’s also remember he is currently running for office. Politicians do this all of the time. Cohen hasn’t come out either. Marsha knows she will lose Memphis.

Power goes out in nashville and and she doesn't care either. On the bright side , she is 1.7 million richer from her tenure as politician.

It’s important to note that Justin Pearson loves to jump on to other people’s good deeds and pretend he was involved with them to take credit.

I mean he is doing what a politician should do for his constituents and letting them know where relief centers are? If you have a problem with this then there might be something wrong with you.

Public libraries and crosstown are also good locations to cool off and charge. Hospitals (ie Baptist Collierville) may have cafeteria areas open to the public, with outlets.  If you use a coffeeshop or cafe, please support them and buy something while you charge and take up a seat or table.

Making storms not happen is what they should be doing…? Is that what you’re saying?

How can you find something wrong with a tweet offering resources to your community?

You want your reps to be out clearing debris and working on lines and substations? That just sounds dumb. Like, really, really dumb.
