    He literally just wants to avoid paying for CA wildfire recovery.

    The hilarious thing is that the biggest FEMA beneficiaries are red states and these climate change related disasters are externalities of the way red states do business.

      This would just help him avoid having to help every state. He would still make special arrangements to help the people who helped him. He’s entirely corrupt.

      how many states have fully-staffed and funded equivalents ready to deploy on a moment’s notice to a large-scale emergency? probably count 'em all on one hand, while simultaneously giving lord diaper the bird.

      ‘federal’ assistance will be there in time for hurricane season.

        I assume all states have a state level Emergency Management Agency - they must, right? Right?

        It’s the funding that’s the hard part. Just like any other insurance type of scheme, there will be incidents too big for the individuals to manage, which is hey we pool our funds to better handle them. I’m sure there are local emergencies they’re ready for, but what moron really thinks their state is prepared to handle a major hurricane, for example

      That information only comes from looking into this at more than just a surface level and developing an opinion based on your gut, which Trump is incapable of doing. So the red states are screwed.

    Trumps agenda seems to be literally undo anything that made the USA a functioning country. Anything remotely positive, undo.

    Treason.

      Every function the government fails to provide is an opportunity for people to pay for a commercial alternative. Where functioning countries provide national healthcare, Americans can pay private companies. Shutting down FEMA is an opportunity for companies to offer new kinds of disaster insurance, an opportunity for Trump-branded temporary housing, Trump-branded search & rescue. The list goes on.

    I remember just a couple of months back Trump was accusing Biden of stealing money from FEMA? Looks like he wants to take all of it himself…

    yeah…

    i guess he will spit out a million shitty ideas until one resonates with the retarded maga movement/majority of US citizens.

    lets just wait for the looming pandemic. this time we’ll just shut up about reasonable ways to handle problems and let the stupid people die.

    how is that birdflu to human transmission going? evolving faster than cow desease? I’d be suprised if the next 4 yrs go well for the USA.

    Dipshits voting for donvict because “muh egg prices”, “gEnOcIdE”, general racism and misogyny, or because they actually thought donvict would do something for America…donvict just told all of them and everyone else - FUCK YOU if you get hit with a disaster, you’re on your own.

    Merica! This is truly GREAT AGAIN.
