Governor Andy Beshear (D-Kentucky) on Kristi Noem's call to eliminate FEMA: "The states cannot do what FEMA does without duplicating certain tasks 50 times over. If you've got an operation that's running well, work with it, improve it, don't eliminate it."

Ain't this a kick in the head, Red States? And besides helping you Republicans recover from flooding, hurricanes, and tornados, which there will be more of, FEMA has a national civil defense (CD) role in the event of a debilitating attack on the US. Thank you Republican voters, you shot your own noibles off: www.vaemergency.gov

Exactly what America needs.

Heckuva job, Republicans!

Perfect timing tornado and hurricane season is just ramping up.

All the hillbillies in western NC depending on FEMA after Helene are about to learn a hard lesson.

Dont worry. MAGA's rugged individualism will save the day.

Will Kristi Noem acquire another dog she can teach to love her so that she can shoot it in the head?

Here in Okiehomie, where we average a tornado every other day from Mid-April through the end of June, the Red Hat Mob will sooner or later wonder where the hell the cavalry is after some town gets blown away or a wildfire burns another 300 homes, but this time in suburban OKC or Tulsa. There are certainly about 50 governors who cursed Disaster Dosplay Barbie when she made this announcement. Just wait for a year until some hurricane comes ashore at the corner of South Ocean Boulevard and Southern Boulevard, in Palm Beach, Florida. The Dog Harvester will be singing a different tune...

Taking from the poor and powerless so the rich have it all...it is the mantra of the Trump misadministration, all the way down to disaster relief for those devastated by natural disasters.

If one's goal was to weaken this country to the point of being pulled off the world influence stage, this is exactly the kind of s^*% you would do.

That it's being done by a piece of worthless Visitor like Noem is just salt rubbed in the wound.

#14 | Posted by jpw at 2025-03-25 11:44 AM

JPW-the United States (or should we call it "Disunited States) has already left the stage.

they learned a lesson when the worthless brain dead ------ and is despicable party sent billions all over the world

and virtually nothing to NC.

and then when FEMA gave money based on politics.

Noem, whose department oversees the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has previously vowed to "get rid of FEMA the way it exists today

--"the way it exists today"

ohuukn liars.

#17 | Posted by shrimptacodan at 2025-03-25 12:03 PM

That's what getting rid of something means.

Getting rid of it, the way it is today. Not the way it was yesterday or tomorrow.

"and virtually nothing to NC."

Governor Roy Cooper and President Joe Biden hold a briefing on Helene's impacts at the State Emergency Operations Center following an aerial tour of areas damaged by the hurricane. During the briefing, President Biden announced the approval of 100% FEMA Reimbursement for six months, a significant funding commitment from the federal government.

The Republican Message to America is clear.... You Are On Your Own.

So much for, 'We the People'.

I have an old high school buddy that just has real bad luck. First, he had a really bad heart attack and then his 21 year old so was killed by some ------- driving his giant truck through a stop sign. My buddy divorced his fat wife, who never helped make any money for them and use to abuse him all the time, and he bought a big truck and moved to Ohio to work for FEMA to serve people during disasters with food and water. He was a big time TRumpanzee and so this just might be the end of his only hopes and dreams to reboot his life. Even his heroes let him down.

Trump has appointed a Cabinet of lunatics who share one thing in common; their loyalty to him is more important than their loyalty to the Comstitution or the nation.

Not a big fan of subsidizing bad behavior; who is. However, people building/rebuilding in disaster prone areas or building in remote areas carries a lot of risks; risks that shouldn't be borne by the tax payer. Government, at all levels, need to make sure that hazardous areas are clearly marked and publicized so that developers can make good decisions to build/not build and purchasers can make good decisions to buy/not buy. Laws need to force developers to reveal in their marketing and sales materials, the risks the buyer takes if they decide to purchase the property. "Buyer Beware" should not be SOP for large, consequential purchases like a home.

Fed upI've been preaching much the same foe a ong time. Here in Florida we have builders building right up to the waters edge on the west coast and the owners experiencing huge losses because of it year after year which has created an insurance crisis forcing people out of their homes. Never mind that nearly all of the losses are on the Gulf of Mrxico coasts the rates have shotb up all over the state which the governor could, but won't deal with because he is a wholly ownwd subsidiary of the insurance industry. Ron Desantis is a crook!

Good luck red states, the most vulnerable to natural disasters.

Charity should be providing disaster relief, not the Federal Government.
Signed,
Republicans

#28 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-03-26 12:13 PM

I can't force anyone to be a decent person, but I do think I have a responsibility to support officials and candidates who understand that a civil society takes care of its most vulnerable citizens. Clearly I am out of fashion. So be it.
