Trump wants to abolish FEMA

Trump wants to shut down the Federal Emergency Management Agency and let states handle their own disaster needs. I don't think we should give California anything,' he said.

And he wants the MAGA states to do the next hurricane, tornado swarm, biblical fire---And their aftermaths----All on their own.

To which I say:

These brave, forward-looking, emotionally centered, and above all rich MAGA never needed any god-damned FEMA.

Their heroic responses to having their homes burned to the ground will be the stuff of legend.

Probably not a bad idea.

Florida will pay dearly. California except earthquakes is self-inflicted.

Let Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas handle their own hurricane costs.

Gotta pass another trillion dollar tax cut for billionaires somehow.

Lol, perfect, no help for TX with wildfires, hurricanes, or freezing Temps, FL can go ahead and sink into the sea, all the poor little S-Hole states who have to face once in a lifetime climate change driven environmental disasters every five years, good luck with that. If they want to hold money from CA, the the state with theFOURTH LARGEST ECO OMY IN THE WORLD should refuse to continue to fund the morons who are leading the red states to the bottom in education, Healthcare, worker rights, etc.

If abolished, hopefully would be replaced with something that is actually competent in action, wouldn't that be something nice for a change.

Yeah!! Trumpy could send all the victims $3 Chinese bibles for Only $99.95!

That would surely help!

The free market was going to fill the potholes and build bridges.

Instead, greedy people pocketed millions and have left America crumbling.

The free market doesn't work.

That's why other nations are living in what seems like the future, and the USA is turning into the USSR.

6. Uh-huh. You want citizens who elect the likes of Tommy Tuberville and Marsha Blackburn doing real-life damage control.

@#2 ... California except earthquakes is self-inflicted. ...

So your current alias admits that earthquakes are not self-inflicted.

OK, now, let's move to climate change and the effects of climate change upon the Country.

The current disaster in California with the wildfires is a symptom.

But I have to ask, how has climate change contributed to that disaster, as well as the disasters suffered by the southeast states from last year's hurricanes?

Why are Republicans ignoring, actually, contributing to, climate change? When the results of those decisions seem to be making tens of thousands of Americans homeless?

Yet Pres Trump response seems to be, ~the billionaires may have lost their homes ~

Trump Laments L.A. Wildfires Destroying Homes Of "Some Of The Wealthiest & Most Powerful Individuals In Our Country" In Second Inauguration Address

... Proclaiming his second inauguration as "Liberation Day" in America, Donald Trump today lamented the loss of homes for some of the "wealthiest and most powerful individuals in our country" in wildfire ravaged Los Angeles. ...

No comment about those people who lost their only home and everything they had. Pres Trump is just noting that the wealthiest people in the Country may have lost one of their many homes.
