Yet no FEMA funding for actual emergencies. This country is a joke.

Where did it say there are no funds for emergencies? It’s messed up that any FEMA funds were used for this, but I don’t see where it says there are no funds for emergencies? I’m here to educate myself, so please explain. I’m from Texas, lost a family member in the floods and FEMA has been there.

I’m terribly sorry for your loss and grateful FEMA was there to assist your family. I made this comment well before the Texas floods and in response to Trump saying he’d end FEMA after Hurricane season whilst sending its funds to this human rights atrocity.

Thanks. Sorry I read your comment as “there is no money left for emergencies”. They weren’t there to assist my family, since my fam member was at camp, but the people left homeless,FEMA was sent to help. As always with FEMA, I’m sure there are a million forms to fill out and always a cap on the funds available. Hopefully we survive the next 3+ years. 🙏🏼

No! We aren’t going anywhere! We have nazis to fight right here! Ignore tornado victims so they can build a human rights violation. The question is…What is wrong with you people!!! Oh we aren’t going anywhere!!!

You must be a MAGA because you lack intelligence and understanding of the potential consequences of using money that is meant to used for natural disasters 😡

Abso-freaking-lootly🥺 These magaz are easy on the blowback, short on common sense and education.

But honestly, I have very well educated friends that voted for him

(I'll certainly miss them! Some I knew for over 50 years.)

There's another phenomenon, that plague the Repugnecants!! Fox Network pounds in the brains of their brethren.. BEWARE!!

.. It is the emergency banners at the bottom of their feed.

They are triggered into feeling that only their party is the right party. If they have money... Like to get more for free?

They MUST VOTE The big R. Greed is their GOD.

I feel sorry for those in the Western State

That will be dealt the hardest blow. I feel for most there.

I lived there for 6 years. I formed friendships with decent people that don't deserve this.

They do the best to help ppl.

But the hard liners deserve

what's coming to them.

Parts of my family down there that is included. They care for no ones but themselves. I'm thinking they probably have red hats under their car seats🥴

Mam, these troubling times, we have to keep each others informed that wish it.

I truly appreciate your words.

No you tiny little putz! You lack enough brain cells to know when to shut up. Most of us posting on this are pre well educated.

Your showing your downs-system side.

Learn a bit and come back to spar with us educated ladies.

Huh…wonder what Floridians will do when the next hurricane hits but they don’t have the money to help the citizens but the concentration camp they wanted so badly is okay…

Many Florida citizens are so brainwashed that they will worship Trump even if the entire state floods. They will blame the lack of emergency funds on Biden. Besides, Desantis says he has everything under control. Well we’ll just see about that.

Time will tell?

My guess is that the ones affected will change their tunes.

We in Oregon, are seeing the blowback! Hearing that they have bugs in their ointment...🥴 All healing methods will be choked and metered. Unfortunately, It will probably take deaths in their own families to turn on the education gene.

Only then dear ... Will we turn this around. The red voters will FEEL THIS!

Then do the research, they should have done before they voted with the

"I DONT CARE ABOUT YOU CLUB😧.

I wonder how detainees in this concentration camp will survive in a tent if a hurricane hits their area?

Sometimes it feels like Nazi Germany here in America, and I'm so ashamed of that. Banning books, losing free speech for fear the administration will send the Marines, gathering innocent human beings and sending them to concentration camps. It needs to stop.

So, what’s the difference between this “Alligator Alcatraz” and Auschwitz? Maybe the only difference is using gators, oppressive heat, and disease carrying mosquitos instead of gas chambers? Also, no need for ovens with alligators. I’m so happy to see my tax dollars going to this garbage instead of items such as disaster relief, cancer research, Medicaid and food for needy children!

Trump takes money from other budgets to spend on ICE as Homeland Security is overspending their authority

He is a criminal after all quite comfortable with stealing, breaking laws and lying about it..
