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.

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.
