"Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."

Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.

I live in WNC and some times it is hard to feel sorry for them as the leopard rips their face off.

Hurricane season is gonna be interesting for the south. They voted to get their fema funding cut and blue states can only offer so much to bail them out. They've gotten themselves into quite the pickle.

These folks set their own house on fire to kill a spider.

A spider that was trying to get them healthcare and a better education and more rights as workers.

The problem is that people can't eat empty words, and it doesn't matter what a lawmaker says they support if they don't do anything meaningful to make it reality.

When I was younger Democrats got me affordable healthcare when I had none.

My vote for them directly resulted in me getting affordable healthcare.

If you bothered to look up the Democrat's voting history, they consistently vote in favor of legislation that benefits average Americans.

I'm glad it worked out for you. It didn't work out for most and this country is still known worldwide for its rate of medical bankruptcies.

Democrat’s voting history

The history doesn't matter when you need action now and all they offer is sternly-worded letters.

Good job Frank Davis! You won! Now go away.

Tragically, this guy and others like him will never reflect on whether they contributed to harm. It'll always be someone else's fault, somehow.

JOE BIDEN should have STOPPED this when He had the CHANCE!

-People who Voted for Trump!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, seen my share of people getting their faces blown off and basically rationalizing it away because it was Trump that did it. "If you think about it, it's somehow Obama's fault". There's probably a good many reasons for this, and I think one of the big ones is that nobody likes accepting that they got suckered.

They're feeding from the same trough of misinformation as everyone else. The trough gets filled with the same scapegoats regardless of the circumstances.

So it will always be immigrants and woke leftists and terrorists and lazy liberal regulators ruining your prosperity. Because they're the ones you've been trained to recognize as the source of all your problems.

Media only wants to give you what you want to hear and all you want to hear is "It was a blue haired brown skinned ISIS lesbian's fault"

He probably thought he was bullet proof because what kind of idiot would cut that department?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago

It's also a hometown fire department right next to a major emergency management area, which is also there because Camp David is nearby.
