Now that there is little doubt that Trump did what he was accused of...

Highly vivid and awesome speculation.

Disaster relief aid is generally based on ecological and economical impact surveys and seldom political.
Being a good, bad or indifferent Governer isn't going hinder a grant of aid to The People.

What you fail to realize is that kind of maneuvering (corruption) you're illustraitin, is more ascribed to the insidious nature of the Dems than the Republicans.

A friend asked me to lend him money...

So, let's say if in a couple of days I didnt receive a response from him I'd know that he doesn't care about me.

Don't take it too overboard - he might take some time to grovel and get the bad news out of his system. Once he settles down, he will in all likelihood, get back in touch with you. It may take a couple days, weeks (maybe a couple of months), but a period of silence doesn't mean he has stopped caring for you as a friend.

So sad, he's someone I considered at one point my best friend.

It can still be that way.
Time will tell.

IT Question: Networking

I hate Comcast but I have no other option.

There is an option.
You can tether your smartphone service to your computer.

Maybe be your own wireless hotspot.

IT Question: Networking

My pick would be the ASUS AX6000 (RT-AX88U).

My pick would be to go from a 30lb polymer fishing line to a 90lb nylon. Because of it's high tensile strength, you can stretch the line tighter than ever! This means you can almost hear your conversation in mono.

What do you think it's the best response I could give him without giving him any hard feelings?

Some times people need a reminder that they're not the only ones who walk the earth.
In my experience, one good thing you could say is; "I'd like to help, but I've got a few of my own problems right now."

I am sick of it all

I'm sorry, man.
The weather is going to shape up soon. Make a plan to find better conditions.
And see what you can do to work up a few bucks along the way - they can help when the time comes.

Yeah - don't do it.
He's made irresponsible choices with the money he has borrowed in the past.
He's looking for people to enable him.
As the old saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
I've been in serious binds before and needed loans. Those situations really suck because being in someone else's debt is almost as bad, so, I've used loans as responsibly as possible to ensure it never happens again.
You don't have to feel guilty.

If he has always paid you back, there should be no reason not to loan him what he asks for (unless you just don't have it).
