Oh, no. Mar-a-Larvae will have undocumented servants as human barriers, holding up sandbags.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What is this FEMA you speak of?
/s
Maybe he'll finally get to nuke a hurricane now!
Red states voted for this. Fuck em.
sucks that there are a lot of people in there who did not vote for that which will suffer.
There are lots of innocents still in red states.
Like, you know, kids.
60 minutes had a story on how a large chunk of relief funds get defrauded and sent overseas with stolen personal information from people who need it most.
Large sums of money, perfect target for DOGE? No he got a jet so international crime rings can rake in the dough 10x.
Yeah, anyone who needs proof of this, scroll the EBT or Food Stamps subreddits. So many people having their funds for the month stolen, and now they are fucked because congress said no replacements of funds 🫠
Hey... have the hurricane season you voted for
8647 baby
i really need to change the combination for my luggage.
Good thing I got a secure password
Mine is still safe. Nobody ever takes me seriously when I tell them it's 1234.
There's good chance that was the whole point.
Well yeah, no shit. We're going to have 4+ years of random disaster shit demonstrating why we had govt agencies devoted to dealing with preventing said shit or dealing with the fallout and it's going to be realllllll interesting watching the red states fail to deal on their own
And just remember. Once we lose a public service, no matter who is in office later, we never get it back. Disaster relief is a thing of the past.
One of the goals of this administration is to borrow and spend so much money that any future govt is so buried in debt it can't function so, yeah, you're spot on. We've entered terminal state capitalism now where citizenship means debt service and nothing more.
Nah, they are going to say, “this is perfect evidence why we need even less government”
These agencies are clearly failures and we should cut all funding to them so we can pay double for half as much support to some private agency senator ___________'s friend/relative/donor owns!
That is way too optimistic. We are going to have 4+ years of random disaster shit demonstrating to the MAGA crowd that the agencies devoted to dealing with the fallout are all corrupt and thus need more budget cuts.
I wish I was being sarcastic but 100% thats gonna be the spin.
I have no faith in people to realize anything. They'll just imagine it's always been this way and continue being morons.
Watch Trump give lucrative disaster response contracts to private companies owned by his biggest donors. Maybe Musk will dump a bunch of cybertrucks on the government somehow.
Who needs food, water, shelter, or access to critically needed medication when we can use the fema budget to airdrop cybertrucks into disaster zones?
Yeah but think of the photo op!
