Never mind how much you've paid in taxes for that DEI Fire and Rescue Chief along with Karen, Ghana-reah, Bass to establish and maintain emergency preparedness for their citizens.

Nothing like looking for a carpool to join when the entire suburb is on fire. But Newsom (Hair Gel Hitler) is going to fix all of this by throwing the DEI people under the bus and pretending he's different.

I'm actually curious though.

Were you not available for the job?

It's an interesting side effect of that one assassination attempt.

Trumpers learned about pads for the first time.

"Oh no! The elderly!"

What do you expect them to do? Send ubers for all of them? Is there some type of taxi service the government should run just in case we have a natural disaster?

I don't remember Texas or Florida doing anything like this during major hurricanes.

Trump administration announced a plan to end FEMA.

Best of luck to the elderly.

MAGA sees this as a survival of the fittest sort of thing.

Not snark.

Entirely accurate, with years of evidence.

That's what one person did for one neighbor.

I bet there are hundreds of stories like it.

After all. "There are very fine people on both sides."
