    The White House said Sunday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had sent emergency responders, search-and-rescue teams, bottled water, and other resources along the coast.

    I get that they’re helping to get votes…

    I just hate how red states refuse to help Blue states.

    And if there’s a Republican president, feds won’t help blue states.

    Yet, Dems constantly bail out red states.

    Give them help because it’s the people that suffer, but give the state government a bill.

    This isn’t getting caught once with you pants down and learning the lesson, red states are actively fighting science and not taking the steps to prevent this shit in the future. And everyone else has to pay for them when we have our own problems.

      The difference between red and blue voters is that red votes to hurt people while blue votes to help people.

        You missed a part apparently…

        Give them help because it’s the people that suffer, but give the state government a bill.

          Red states routinely get more money from the federal government than they contribute to it, almost without exception.

      Once Project 2025 does away with the NOAA and the NHC they won’t even be able to pre-stage assistance for red states…
