Noem says DHS will ‘eliminate FEMA’

1. Oddly, natural disasters seem to largely target red states.

2. Stupid is as stupid does.

3. It cannot be easy being that corrupt.

4. North Carolina is literally on fire right now.

5. “Why do the poor have to suffer so the rich can have more ?”

   I’ve started just asking this every time someone tells me anything…

6. When are the people going to eliminate DOGE?

7. No NOAA and no FEMA. What could go wrong?

8. Congress should just dissolve itself at this point, if they’re going to just watch them ignore all their laws.

9. What is that hat even about? Trump’s various senile rants being taken as objective fact? Every EO other people write and just placed in front of him without him even bothering to read?

10. This is the stupidest thing I’ve read all day.

    FEMA is literally a financing agency, that’s all it is. And said financing almost always has to be passed by congress as part of a special package bc fema emergency aid caps out at a pathetic 28k.

    Even during Katrina the Fed’s had to pass like 10-15 billion as part of the “road home” to cover shortfalls from private insurance and federal flood insurance.
    And I’m sure he’ll
    Go after the federal flood insurance next, never mind that Florida would fucking collapse without it bc it’s uninsurable.

    Insurance companies don’t suffer lies and bullshit. Arguing with them is like arguing with gravity. These assholes will insist insurance isn’t necessary, it’s “optional,” blah blah… ok tell that to the bank, dickwad.

11. Disaster will still happen, money will still need to be spent to help. After FEMA is gone, states will have to kiss the ring to get support, I imagine California will never see a dime.

12. I’m starting to hate trump’s mouthpieces as much as I do him. She knows she’s avoiding and obfuscating the truth, and often outright lying to the American people.

13. Not the ideal agency but you can’t remove something millions of people rely on and not expect things to go poorly. Especially since Republicans don’t offer any constructive solutions to any problems besides privitization, and I wouldn’t even call that a serious solution.

14. I predict blue states will form their own agencies and withhold taxes it’d sent to the federal government to cover it. Trump will say they’re trying secede and start a civil war; throw in funded by <country>, cartels, illegals and other strawmen for good measure.

15. It just a way for the White House to more easily distribute money to red states only
