Latest denial of disaster funding comes as Trump has repeatedly stated he wants to eliminate FEMA
Donald Trump has denied federal disaster relief funds to the people of Arkansas, which saw dozens of people die from a series of deadly tornados last month, so legislators are pleading for him to reconsider.
More than 40 people have been found dead after a series of tornados and severe storms hit Arkansas and neighboring states Mississippi and Missouri in March, according to CNN.
Given the scale of the disaster, the state’s Republican governor, Sarah Huckabee, requested federal disaster aid as a part of an emergency declaration. That request was later denied by the Trump administration.
Oh my.
I have empathy for those in the state South of us. But very little sympathy. Your population of morons voted for this. Just like ours did. You get what you voted for. So have the day you voted for.
Sadly, this point will be lost amongst the louder voices shouting accusations of blame at Obama and Biden.
Or DEI, or immigrants, or trans, or or or any of the other non threats they’ve been programmed to fear.
I heard something once, about a Jewish community manufacturing a laser that will work from orbit? From what I can understand, its primary purpose is to manufacture red herring arguments.
Or the most powerful minorities of all. The gays. Who by simply existing can cause earthquakes and hurricanes!
This is fascinating! It’s almost like… wildly inaccurate and scientifically illiterate biblical stories come have to life!
Fellow MO bro/sis?
Born and raised. I live just outside one of the major Metropolitan areas. But I spent Summers down in the southern Ozarks near the Tripoli mines when I was a kid. Know the Mennonites up north. About the only area I’m not very familiar with is down in the boot heel
Right on I’m about the same myself been here all my life. Wish we could get the magats to stop ruining our beautiful state
Well the real key on that is to stop looking at it as us and them. Because they are us. When it really comes down to it they generally want the same thing. They just let themselves get distracted with culture war issues. Dehumanizing and othering people who aren’t them. Just as we are easily susceptible to stories media and Outlets that dehumanize and other them or tying them as the problem.
They think wealthy Democrats are to blame for all their problems. If we are being extremely generous they might be 10 to 25% correct. Whereas Democrats and many progressives feel it is wealthy Republicans that are to blame. Which again 75 to 80% correct. Which is just how the people who are the problems like it. Continuing to make it an US versus them thing. When the truth is it doesn’t matter what party they pretend to be in. It’s on the wallpapers that are the problem. And that’s something both Republican voters and everyone else can really agree when you get down to it. But that is what would really terrify the people who are the problem. If we were to unite against them.
Though as an anarchist that may just be my personal views.
Ms huckabee was originally part of his 1st admin before trump had no use for her anymore.
Oh I have no empathy or sympathy for her horrible family or her. Just the average person that lives in the states and isn’t an elected official.
Excellent distinction.
Thoughts and prayers
Time to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps.
I tried, but voting Democrat in Arkansas is just pissing in the wind.
We’re getting what we deserve, and reaping what we’ve sown. Don’t pity us.
The Osage Nation has a name for her: Faces the Leopard
That’s a shame
ms huckabee, you were once part of his administration then he threw you under the bus.
You get what you voted for. You asked for a president who came out and said point blank that he does not care about you and only cares about your vote. Your hatred and stupidity brought you here now own it while we all point and shake our heads.
More FO or leopards? Or both
