FEMA Scandal

[TheDaliLama]

The FEMA scandal is literally beyond my imagination. The only people they're helping are in Democratic strongholds in North Carolina and in Georgia. everybody else is on their own. in fact, the more I read, they're stopping independent people from helping people in need...it's just astonishing. Add that to the fact that that lying shitbag Mayorcas said that FEMA's out of money. Of course he failed to mention that it all went to illegals. I'm completely flabbergasted.

Care to share the link(s) where you read this fiction? I need a good laugh.

Edit for below: That is the MAGA answer I expected. LOL

How about I provide you with a link: https://www.newsweek.com/trump-slamm...e-lies-1964258

You can look anywhere on x. Mainstream media is barely covering any of this. New York Post it's another good one. The daily wire.

... The internets are surely hot and heavy with the reasons WHY
the Biden Administration is SLOW-WALKING the aid to those
people in NC... And why FEMA is seemingly out of money.

ALL political to them. ...

Full List of Republicans Who Voted Against FEMA Funding Before Helene Hit

As Hurricane Helene careened toward Florida's Panhandle, numerous Republicans voted against extending funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Last week, Congress approved $20 billion for FEMA's disaster relief fund as part of a stopgap spending bill to fund the government through December 20. But the measure left out billions of dollars in requested supplemental disaster funding.

The Senate approved the measure by a 78-18 vote on September 25 after it passed the House in a 341-82 vote. Republicans supplied the no votes in both chambers.

Some of the Republicans who voted against the bill represent states that have been hard hit by Helene, including Florida Representative Matt Gaetz.

Helene hit Florida as a Category 4 storm last Thursday, before plowing through several other states in the Southeast. The devastation could cost up to $160 billion, according to an estimate by AccuWeather.

Some Republicans railed against FEMA funding being allocated for assisting migrants after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters on Wednesday that FEMA will run out of money before the hurricane season is over. The agency is facing a multibillion-dollar deficit, even after imposing new spending restrictions.

"We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting," Mayorkas said. "FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season."

Mayorkas' comments led some Republicans to accuse the Biden administration of diverting funds intended for disaster relief, which a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told Newsweek was "completely false."

President Joe Biden said Monday he may call Congress back into session during a break to pass emergency supplemental funding, as some lawmakers from states hit by Helene have urged.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has said that the FEMA funding included in the stopgap spending bill approved last week is sufficient and that there is no need for lawmakers to return early.

you know that. you simply refuse to accept anything that throws shade on your beloved masters .. the Democratic party.

i'd post the FEMA gov page to "refute" this but I'll leave that for you to do.

just know if their response wasn't a mangled disaster they wouldn't need a page to deny their response is a "disaster"

Hurricane Helene Brings Push for More FEMA Funding

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas this week said that FEMA has the funds to address immediate needs spurred by Hurricane Helene. But he warned the agency doesn’t have enough money to finish out the hurricane season


is he lying or not? the future is .. the future .. TODAY ... Mayorkas says the funds are there. so when's he gonna use them?

is he using them??


if not don't blame the GOP on this one.

... Crikey! ... In just 3 months, Mayorkas has changed his tune.

Gotta wonder how much of the FEMA money went to housing illegals.
And why they're Slow-Walking relief aid in NC.

is this another blame the GOP for nothing post?

Mayorkas says he has the funds to support Helene relief. the real question is why is FEMA blocking private aid ventures and stealing their supplies to claim them as their own?

does this bald headed lying prick have the money? he says so .. so he and Pete Buttplug better start using it, yes amigo?


no excuses!!!

I’m not the one who politicized this, Just look at the OP first post.

“The FEMA scandal is literally beyond my imagination. The only people they're helping are in Democratic strongholds in North Carolina and in Georgia. everybody else is on their own. in fact, the more I read, they're stopping independent people from helping people in need...it's just astonishing. Add that to the fact that that lying shitbag Mayorcas said that FEMA's out of money. Of course he failed to mention that it all went to illegals. I'm completely flabbergasted.”

Republicans and right wing media have politicized this.
