Actual Trump quote:

"That's what's happening. They stole the FEMA money just like they stole it from a Bank. So they could give it to their illegal immigrants that they want to have vote for them this season."

Mayorkas --> https://x.com/gregg_re/status/1842009544379007476

You do realize that he’s saying that this massive storm damage (second worst in US history) is being met (Trump is lying) they need more resources to meet more storms of this scale should they occur. Or numerous storms.

This occurs with special funding requests whenever disasters are far outside the regular pace.

Did you listen to the final worlds of the clip? Did FEMA blow a ton of cash on Immigration?

“Blow”???

No. Immigration issues need the funding that the Lankford bill would have allocated, but spending to support communities straining with immigration is an appropriate use of funds.

FEMA is Not allocating or spending less on natural disaster relief than normal. They are putting up a website to combat the disinformation being fomented by Trump and right wing media.

They need appropriations to be increased just as in any other unusual disaster cycle. The problem is that we are very likely to see “normal “ be considerably worse in the coming decades than prior, with bigger storms and fires.

That is the Argument, and line items should be transparent about where FEMA has spent their money thus far. If is large portion of that went to immigration, then the question is...why is FEMA using that money for things beyond Natural Disasters and local help. Mayorkas, dances around why they are running out of money, leaving us to argue about it.

When all else fails you blame trump

Trump is egregiously lying AND he tanked the bill. Both facts. Not blame, facts.

One oh yeah, he’s projecting again as he himself indeed factored partisanship into allocation of FEMA disaster relief and is claiming that of Biden despite the protestations of both Republican and Democrats governors that this claim is nonsense.

This is the game........vote against anything that you think helps "other people". Then when it's your turn to suck the Federal Government dry, they "forget" that they voted to kill money to FEMA, and start collecting money.

I'm SO sick of the Republican party. Tired of the excuses as to why this is fine. Tired of them taking my money and then pretending it never happened.

Tired of sending my money to their States so that they can enjoy low taxes, yet they're on the full dole for Federal money.

Trump: would deal with aid questions depending which party they voted for. He did not want to approve aud fir CA with its fires. Aides had to show him how many R voters there are in Orange County before he would authorize. On the other end of the spectrum DeSantis asked cor a boost in aid to FL. Instead of the normal 75% FL got 100%. Trump was also very slow to approve the declarations. Traditionally they are approved upon request. Not with Trump,

Didn't take long to fact check that one. Trump and the FOX sycophants will say anything to rile up the base:

"But the administration allocated less than a billion dollars last year to charities that provide housing for migrants released in the U.S. by immigration officials. The funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Shelter and Service Program is approved by Congress and is separate from the agency's disaster relief."

If you have a beef take it up with Speaker Johnson.

https://www.wvtm13.com/article/trump-ma ... y/62509353

I'm not understanding the argument here. What business should FEMA have with the immigration problem? The Emergency created at the southern border was not weather related. The southern border problem is a self inflicted wound created by our own government. Let FEMA take care of Americans first. The government can muddle and dither about trying to figure out the disaster it created. Maybe we can refer to it as Hurricane Joe for the sake of discussion?

FEMA's mission statement directly from their web site ( https://www.fema.gov/about ):

"Our mission is helping people before, during and after disasters. Our core values and goals help us achieve it."

I just see disasters there. Do you see natural disasters?

If you want to limit FEMA to natural disasters you've got to take that up with Congress. As stated above, they're the ones who funded FEMA's Shelter and Service Program separate from the Disaster Relief program.

To even hear the fukstick Mayorkas complain or even mention funds while our own citizens are in dire need is just insulting. And somehow the talking point is Trump...... strange how we didnt hear MAyorkas whine in public when FEMA ran out funds for immigration and asked for another 380 Million in August....tallying close to a 1 Billion in 24'.

So yes, had we not spent all that money with Shelter and Services Program, it could be transferred.

Semantics.....of course. We spend a third more on Shelter and Services Program than anticipated.

When all else fails you blame trump

What has failed?

Trump is egregiously lying AND he tanked the bill. Both facts. Not blame, facts.

One oh yeah, he’s projecting again as he himself indeed factored partisanship into allocation of FEMA disaster relief and is claiming that of Biden despite the protestations of both Republican and Democrats governors that this claim is nonsense.

There was a FEMA bill at the House to expand monies. Guess who voted against it? Guess who voted for it?

This is the game........vote against anything that you think helps "other people". Then when it's your turn to suck the Federal Government dry, they "forget" that they voted to kill money to FEMA, and start collecting money.

I'm SO sick of the Republican party. Tired of the excuses as to why this is fine. Tired of them taking my money and then pretending it never happened.

Tired of sending my money to their States so that they can enjoy low taxes, yet they're on the full dole for Federal money.

I'd call their bluff and kill FEMA and the Dept of Education TOMORROW if you put me in charge. F them, cut them all off, and the voters and RightWingMedia that enable this sh*t.

Trump: would deal with aid questions depending which party they voted for. He did not want to approve aud fir CA with its fires. Aides had to show him how many R voters there are in Orange County before he would authorize. On the other end of the spectrum DeSantis asked cor a boost in aid to FL. Instead of the normal 75% FL got 100%. Trump was also very slow to approve the declarations. Traditionally they are approved upon request. Not with Trump,

I think we just need Socialized Aide, across the board, if someone wants something, we hand it out.

No. What needs to happen is the folks who claim to not want Big Government to start with themselves: don't do government contracting. Don't attend State (government) schools....save your money and attend Private Universities. Same goes for K-12. Don't take FEMA money. Don't take subsidized Home loans. Don't take subsidized Flood insurance. Don't take one cent from the Farm Bill.

Don't take $3 from Medicare for every $1 you put in.

Start with by looking in the mirror. If those of you folks who claim to not want help from Big Government all put your money where your mouth is? The number of people using these government services and handouts will drop by 1/3rd overnight.

It's your call. Start with your own homes, with no one forcing you to do a thing.

I'll wait for y'all to do that. What's happening as you very well know....is that the EXACT opposite is happening. Those that claim to hate Big Government are the exact group of people who take the most.

You're doing it to yourselves. Pretty simple: it Big Gov is bad, stop taking their money. The size of government will plummet overnight.

"That's what's happening. They stole the FEMA money just like they stole it from a Bank. So they could give it to their illegal immigrants that they want to have vote for them this season."

You do realize that he’s saying that this massive storm damage (second worst in US history) is being met (Trump is lying) they need more resources to meet more storms of this scale should they occur. Or numerous storms.

This occurs with special funding requests whenever disasters are far outside the regular pace.

Did you listen to the final worlds of the clip? Did FEMA blow a ton of cash on Immigration?

“Blow”???

No. Immigration issues need the funding that the Lankford bill would have allocated, but spending to support communities straining with immigration is an appropriate use of funds.

FEMA is Not allocating or spending less on natural disaster relief than normal. They are putting up a website to combat the disinformation being fomented by Trump and right wing media.

They need appropriations to be increased just as in any other unusual disaster cycle. The problem is that we are very likely to see “normal “ be considerably worse in the coming decades than prior, with bigger storms and fires.

That is the Argument, and line items should be transparent about where FEMA has spent their money thus far. If is large portion of that went to immigration, then the question is...why is FEMA using that money for things beyond Natural Disasters and local help. Mayorkas, dances around why they are running out of money, leaving us to argue about it.

What does that mean?

Is that a response to a fan?
If not, what is your response?

And should disaster aid Ever have anything to do with whether that State voted for the President?

To even hear the fukstick Mayorkas complain or even mention funds while our own citizens are in dire need is just insulting. And somehow the talking point is Trump...... strange how we didnt hear MAyorkas whine in public when FEMA ran out funds for immigration and asked for another 380 Million in August....tallying close to a 1 Billion in 24'.

So yes, had we not spent all that money with Shelter and Services Program, it could be transferred.

Semantics.....of course. We spend a third more on Shelter and Services Program than anticipated.

Good lord, there’s plenty of money to handle the immediate needs of the second largest disaster storm damage in US history, but he’s warning that they really do need to replenish as prior requested in case future disasters come fast. It would be a dereliction not to warn that Congress needs to appropriate.

You didn’t answer any of my questions…I wonder why…

Didn't take long to fact check that one. Trump and the FOX sycophants will say anything to rile up the base:

"But the administration allocated less than a billion dollars last year to charities that provide housing for migrants released in the U.S. by immigration officials. The funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Shelter and Service Program is approved by Congress and is separate from the agency's disaster relief."

If you have a beef take it up with Speaker Johnson.

I'm not understanding the argument here. What business should FEMA have with the immigration problem? The Emergency created at the southern border was not weather related. The southern border problem is a self inflicted wound created by our own government. Let FEMA take care of Americans first. The government can muddle and dither about trying to figure out the disaster it created. Maybe we can refer to it as Hurricane Joe for the sake of discussion?

FEMA's mission statement directly from their web site ( https://www.fema.gov/about ):

"Our mission is helping people before, during and after disasters. Our core values and goals help us achieve it."

I just see disasters there. Do you see natural disasters?

If you want to limit FEMA to natural disasters you've got to take that up with Congress. As stated above, they're the ones who funded FEMA's Shelter and Service Program separate from the Disaster Relief program.

Your playing a game of semantics and failing miserably in the process. FEMA shot their budgetary wad taking care of Bidens F**k up at the southern border. Now in true form the people responsible for Bidens F**k up at the southern border, to include dumb f**k Joe himself are trying to blame trump. So now America has been dealt a horrific blow via natural disaster and the FEMA cupboard is bare. So lets blame it on trump. We know that is true because I just heard so in a Kamala Harris campaign ad. And Kamala would never lie...

On questions of natural disasters i agree. Aid should not be politicized

Huh. No kidding...

FEMA says they are almost broke and struggling to find resources. Since it has been the Joe show for 4 years how was that allowed to happen? The money went somewheres for 4 years. I'm sure it wasn't spent helping trump do landscaping at Mara Lago. So now the worst case scenario jumps up and bites FEMA in the ass. Hurricane Helene devastates the South and they chose to spend their money to cover Joe Harris' rear end. What a country America...what a country...
