At least this time he didn't claim he'd be too busy "working his ass off" instead of golfing.

I just checked four pages of Reins posting history and "oreo" isn't in there.

So if he did say it the filter dumped it, which is as it should be.

This is why abolishing FEMA and turning emergency management over to the states is a foolish idea which will have fatal consequences:

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said all of the state's 120 counties were impacted by the storm. "The biggest challenge of this event is it's everywhere."

The state doesn't need the president to activate the National Guard Dummkopf. Each states governors are the commanders in chiefs of their states National Guards. BTW FEMA is specifically designed for these National emergencies. Yes the National Guard is critical in these type of events but so is FEMA. Learn something for once.

President Donald Trump authorized FEMA to provide federal disaster assistance to all 120 Kentucky counties.

The FEMA assistance is in response to the severe storms, straight-line winds, flooding and landslides that began Feb. 14.

FEMA officials were specifically authorized to, "Identify, mobilize and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency."

In a release from the FEMA Press Office, "Emergency protective measures, limited to direct federal assistance, will be provided at 75% federal funding."

What is a national emergency if its only in one state or even two?

Wouldn't a NATIONAL emergency be NO MORE FUEL in the SPR? Don't seem to recall Lumpers complaining about that.

Or a Nuclear exchange with China or Russia?

That would be NATIONAL, just because its on the news doesn't mean its NATIONAL. It could be an emergency, but that doesn't make it a NATIONAL emergency

Many states don't have the resources available to combat these types of emergencies. This is where FEMA comes into play. They have the resources necessary to alleviate the hardships faced when these tragedies occur. Think Hurricane Katrina for example. You really need to educate yourself better. You're lacking in this area. Just sayin
