I guess division is his idea of how to make America great.

Florida, Texas here’s looking at you.

Im sure Ted Cruz will be more than happy for Texas to pick up its own tab the next time a disaster hits.

getting money from blue states already. The red states just don't know how to manage the money.

That the felon's answer for California just giving Gov. Newsom the finger. The felon is disgusting.

Costs me nothing, gives them nothing and then I can just go back to watching them suffer and smugly say: "FUCK YOU PAY ME." (reference is 1990's 'Goodfellas' by Martin Scorsese)...but in all seriousness, if these morons really believe that the next hurricane to hit the Gulf shores is going to be handled strictly by local government agencies, I can't help them, they are simply too stupid (or too cruel) to exist.

The 1988 Stafford Act and the 2022 Community Disaster Resilience Zones Act mandate actions by FEMA which means FEMA has to exist to do it. Like many of these things there are laws entangled in the functions of these different agencies and you cannot pretend they don't exist.

Plus I don't see Republicans in the House or Senate having much of an appetite to dissolve FEMA no matter how much TSF screams and shouts about it.

to stand up to tsf and explain how things should work, he's known to ruin people for petty reasons.

To stand up to his BS we might not be in this mess. He can't fuck with all of them!

now matter how violent they are. The ball will be in YOUR court PUKES. So....going to let all your southern states fend for themselves when the next hurricane hits (and it will and more destructive) or STAND UP to Trump?

Shit...get your popcorn for this one.............

Anybody else sick of it yet?

With shit

The End.

But everything has its limits. FEMA actually has a good reputation and has performed very well these last four years.
These moves to cripple NIH or rollback FEMA will directly impact their constituents in a very loud and physical way, if something goes wrong and the only people to blame will be Republicans. You have your kool-aid drinkers in Congress but when push comes to shove, most care a lot more about reelection than they do about a lame duck president and his crazy agenda.

But let's not forget primary opponents with limitless oligarch funding, served up by the Toddler-In-Chief in case any dare disobey His Sacred Will.

And, of course, whatever dead girl/live boy blackmail Shitstain at least seems to have on pretty much every Republican elected.

The recent fires here in LA not withstanding it seems to me that the states that most use FEMA are pretty much all red and one in particular is going to be getting hit very hard in the future by climate pesky non-existent climate change.

This particular idea of his might not be so bad.

yes, the red states have been getting too much FEMA MONEY

...Particularly the red ones.

what a fucking elite, out of touch piece of UTTER SHIT

rethuglican party acquiesce during hurricane season. Oh and let's not forget about tornado alley.

And I wish Congress would take care of the problem.

Please proceed.

Great way to awaken the US though.

states should take care of their own problems going forward for the next 4 years. By the time the
2028 election rolls around R voters will be tired of an R Government who refuses to help R
communities in need of help after a natural disaster.

Maybe they'll wake up and start voting D.

Watch taxes balloon in the welfare states as disaster strikes. They already can't pay their way.

wholly agrees with this position . . . .

Happy Hurricane Season!!

But, that also means we will not be paying the federal government the same amount of taxes that we did pay... I mean, since we are supposed to deal with our own problems. Why give the federals money if they are not oging to help us?Of course, that is not what you meant, but that is the reality of denying us the use of our tax dollars. So, if you don't want these programs, lower our taxes. Because we are not going to give you money to run something that you are obviously not going to run.

Besides, your lot are the ones who keep interfering with disaster relief in N.C., not the Democrats.

Putin has wanted the balkanization of the US for a long time.
Easier to destroy that way.

He's ageing quickly.

How are Florida and Texas going to fund the Billions that will be needed to cover disasters?
Sales tax in Louisisana will sky rocket since they want to remove income tax and rely on sales taxes.
going to be fun for the welfare states who rely on CA/NY money funneled infrom theFeds.

He really is despicable.

the purpose of the Union?

how he washed his hands of giving the states about abortion rights and we see how that is working out.

The felon is a monster out of control.

Gawd, Libertarian thinking is the dumbest shit imaginable.

be a union, it would be a confederation. They could call the governing document Articles of Confederation. That could work!!

I hate fucking propaganda.

pumped up so much hate to NC folks to not trust FEMA while (President Biden and VP Harris said FEMA were there to help people), it was the people who told FEMA to get lost.

Ironically, New York State had some fairly vicious slave-owners and Confederacy sympathizers. There were some people in the North who were adamant white supremacists.

During his first term Trump was a bit more circumspect about the whoppers he told, worried he mignt be fact-checked at some point. This time around he doesn't give a damn how demonstrably false his bullshit is, he just lets loose with whatever crappola pops into his diseased brain.

who were saved from total financial and emotional ruin with FEMA's help.

..."...take care of their own problems." when the next hurricane or tornado comes calling.

We'll just be the "States of America." Or maybe the "Individual States of America."

So does this mean that each state will just fund itself going forward? Blue states no longer have to redistribute their wealth to red states?

$2.00 for California and New York. Other states to be apportioned on the suck up to the Hair Furor scale.

The idea is to remind the people that largesse depends on the will of the rulers.

I mean, after all of the complaining and conspiracy theories about FEMA, including pointing guns at FEMA officials.

The next time a tornado, flood, fire or hurricane hits Florida, Mississippi, NC, Iowa, etc., they can do without federal help. Blue states will hurt but red states will be slayed.
