And what are your thoughts on her declaring a state of emergency which was the actual topic of the thread until it blew up in your faces and you moved the goalposts?
Like I said revel in your meaningless gotcha

I'm surprised to see you defending her communism.You people are truly deplorable. How can you read that article and have an issue with it? She's being prepared in case there is an issue with the millions of people that will be traveling at the same time. Those people will need a place to stay, fuel, food etc. There probably won't be major problems but if there is this state will be ready to act. God, you people are pathetic political hacks. I feel sorry for you.
No one is objecting to being prepared. But is an emergency declaration necessary before AK can get prepared?No issues with Indiana, Parts of New York, and parts of Canada doing the same?
Why is it a bad thing to be prepared for millions of visitors coming to your state for one day?
You are trying way to hard. Many states are doing it in preparation.No one is objecting to being prepared. But is an emergency declaration necessary before AK can get prepared?
If AK can't prepare for fully predictable circumstances that aren't in and of themselves harmful, then something is wrong with AK. We're talking tourists, not tornadoes; parking, not pandemic.
Declaring an emergency seems like an hysterical overreaction.
It's plausible, of course that the Rs in AK have crippled the state government so much that Huckabee had no less-hysterical tools in her tool box. I don't know enough about AK to judge that.
LolI'm surprised to see you defending her communism.
Why doesn't she trust the free market to handle it?
Arkansas is AR. Alaska is AK.No one is objecting to being prepared. But is an emergency declaration necessary before AK can get prepared?

Then I have the same questions for them.You are trying way to hard. Many states are doing it in preparation.
Better start the thread.... and talk about the state of those political parties.... but you won't, because you are a shill, who found something they thought they could jump on, only to end up looking foolish.Then I have the same questions for them.
Why aren't they already prepared?
Did they just hear about the eclipse?
Oops. Thanks. I plead the Trump/Biden defense.
This is how you prepare dipstick. LolThen I have the same questions for them.
Why aren't they already prepared?
Did they just hear about the eclipse?
I've always preferred the AR platform over the AK.
Why is it foolish to ask why they aren't already prepared for an event known years in advance.Better start the thread.... and talk about the state of those political parties.... but you won't, because you are a shill, who found something they thought they could jump on, only to end up looking foolish.
Yet you sit in this thread.Why is it foolish to ask why they aren't already prepared for an event known years in advance.
Waiting until the last minute and then invoking emergency powers is preparing?This is how you prepare dipstick. Lol
Unlike some, I'm already prepared for the eclipse.Yet you sit in this thread.
It wasn't the last minute bud. They did what they had to do with the time to prepare.Waiting until the last minute and then invoking emergency powers is preparing?

Decent nugs?Unlike some, I'm already prepared for the eclipse.
How this thread started:
How it’s going:
Wrong thread broskiI got into it with MIL (off the Xmas car list) when she started complaining about how the government can afford to pay off student loans. I then said to her "are you willing to give up your farm subsidies? Are you willing to pay for water pollution mitigation?" Wife is pissed off at me. Don't bring stupidity to me in a political argument.
Others being unprepared and having to resort to emergency declarations to cover their asses doesn't make it OK to be unprepared.Nothing about NY declaring?
Canada?
Oregon in 2017?
It’s refreshing to see at least one Dem in this thread using common sense.To be fair, that just brings all state resources to bear. States are closing schools early or completely in an effort to deal with the traffic that is expected. I don't think - I hope - that even an idiot like Huckabee thinks the eclipse itself presents some danger.
I love how the narrative has switched from “she’s an idiot for doing this” to “she’s an idiot for not doing this a long time ago.”Others being unprepared and having to resort to emergency declarations to cover their asses doesn't make it OK to be unprepared.
Again, an eclipse isn't a blizzard or a flood and, unlike them, it is totally predictable long in advance.
No excuses.
It's not meaningless.
Its proving you guys wrong, which I know bothers you, but you'll never admit it.
From the OPIt wasn't the last minute bud. They did what they had to do with the time to prepare.
Then we need to get you a calendar.From the OP
New: Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has declared a state of emergency ahead of tomorrow’s eclipse.
One day before the eclipse sounds like last minute to me.
I love how the narrative has switched from “she’s an idiot for doing this” to “she’s an idiot for not doing this a long time ago.”
Way to distort things.I love how the narrative has switched from “she’s an idiot for doing this” to “she’s an idiot for not doing this a long time ago.”

That may very well be true. But that doesn’t change the fact that you guys thought you were going to dunk on her in this thread, only to lose the ball out of bounds.She’s an idiot, period. Ten years from now when she’s hopefully in prison, and if someone unfortunately mentions her, we will point that out. We will never not point it out because she is flat out awful.
Does the word "tomorrow" in "tomorrow's eclipse" mean something different in MAGA?Then we need to get you a calendar.
Essex County, New York, declared a state of emergency one day before Arkansas did. How far in advance does a state of emergency need to be declared in order to be in effect on the days it needs to be in effect?Way to distort things.
Not only has my position been entirely consistent throughout, but my argument is that with good governance, this is not an emergency.
Yeah, it means she has 24 hours.Does the word "tomorrow" in "tomorrow's eclipse" mean something different in MAGA?
So which of you?
Are performing satanic activities during the solar eclipse? https://stream.org/bishop-strickland-to-hold-mass-live-on-lifesite-to-counter-expected-satanic-activity-during-solar-eclipse/iowa.forums.rivals.com
Actually your consecutive quotes of my posts demonstrates my point. All you right wing clowns have are meaningless gotchas. Own the libs all day everyday, Ryan
Man, anyone that disagrees with you guys is Ryan.
Weird.
The mistake you’re making here is failing to distinguish between emergency preparedness and declaring a state of emergency. The fact that the official declaration was issued yesterday doesn’t mean there were no preparations made before yesterday.Does the word "tomorrow" in "tomorrow's eclipse" mean something different in MAGA?
Bingo.gifThe mistake you’re making here is failing to distinguish between emergency preparedness and declaring a state of emergency. The fact that the official declaration was issued yesterday doesn’t mean there were no preparations made before yesterday.
