Breaking: Trump has denied Georgia's request to extend the disaster aid deadline for Hurricane Helene recovery, despite $5.5B in agricultural losses. Sorry Georgia. You voted for him. Didn't they say it was Democrats withholding FEMA funds?

Additionally, Georgia House Speaker Jon Burns (R-Newington) and Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper, who is also a Republican, urged the administration to elaborate when aid promised to the Peach State's farmers would be disbursed. They wrote that "Georgia's communities are still facing unprecedented losses and millions of dollars in incurred clean-up costs."
"Right now, the future is uncertain for far too many Georgia farmers, and without assistance, some of them will not make it through this growing season," Burns and Harper wrote.

Haven't the repugs learned that kneecapping American farmers makes the orange pedo ecstatic?

We went to visit relatives in Atlanta over the holidays. We usually just take back roads. I couldn't believe all the hurricane damage we saw.

"Georgia's communities are still facing unprecedented losses and millions of dollars in incurred clean-up costs."

Didn't they get the memo? You're on your own, Georgia!

Who needs FEMA?

MAGA consciously wants to hurt people.

I think that they are always shocked when that turns out to be them.

Are these MAGA still whining?

They should have planned their lives better.

Well--ok, we'll give you more money, but you will have to impose slavery again. And ringworm. Ass, grass or gas, no Georgian rides for free...
