FEMA Scandal

Lucas McCain's Avatar
Good to know that Trump just gave Harris another commercial to make about his bullshit. I still think it is funny though that Trump's flock actually believes stupid shit like this.

How exactly can money be taken out of a Disaster Recovery Fund and used on illegal migrants? Can some MAGA who knows government financial accounting actually explain this to me? Just curious to know which accounts you debit and credit to illegally pull that off so GAO can't catch it. And just FYI, I kind of know a thing or two about that boring shit because it is on the CPA exam in FAR.

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 Originally Posted by Lucas McCain

what facts about the miserable FEMA response can you refute?

Hurricane Helene has affected more than three states and millions of people. The primary response is coming from the local community and the state government. FEMA is there to provide assistance to the local communities affected under the control of the state and local governments.

When dealing with a disaster of this magnitude there will always be priorities put towards recovery efforts for the majority of people in the shortest time frame possible. There will always be problems with coordination and cohesion amongst the different military, government and private sector groups that are working to ensure recovery as quickly as possible.

However the only people that I see politicizing this are Republicans and conservatives who have an existing agenda and are looking for any excuse to blame the federal government regardless of how successful they actually might be.

FEMA may not be the best solution but they are not the problem either.

Facts are useless. They can be used to prove anything.

If you knew .01% of what I know about government accounting, you would understand how fucking stupid his claim is. A lot of people would have to want to go to prison to participate in such a ridiculous accusation/crime. But what the fuck do you care? Facts are useless according to you. Haha

By the way, perhaps you should ask the republican governors in NC and GA what they think about it. From what I saw and heard them say, they seemed pretty damn content and appreciative with the assistance. But that's just a useless fact.

And Newsweek is considered to be slightly right of center.

"Overall, we rate Newsweek Right-Center Biased based on editorial positions that slightly favor the right. We also rate them as Mostly Factual in reported rather than high due to having to make corrections on false information after publication."

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. Originally Posted by TheDaliLama

X is unmoderated ECCIE but with better pictures.

To cite X (and a NY tabloid) shirley provides insight into your fact finding prowess.

Thanks for confirming.

By the way, this is ALL a desperate barrage of lies and utter bullshit from Trump.

Sad, dangerous and desperate. (And stupid)

The Mayor of Knox County TN, a Trump supporter and fellow member of the WWE Hall of Fame, has asked people to stop pushing the lie.

If you know it’s a lie, why do you keep pushing it, fellas. THAT’S the only scandal here.

Thanks to the lies and misinformation pushed by Trump, MTG (she’s back to the lasers now) and the MAGA cult (#viewerslikeyou), FEMA has had to open a “Rumor Response Page.”

https://www.fema.gov/disaster/curren...rumor-response

Speaker Johnson (Gabby) refused to call lawmakers back from recess to appropriate more disaster relief funding. So that’s not going to happen. And another storm is headed to Florida.

Bullshit makes quite the mess of people’s lives, doesn’t it?

Desperate campaign tactics.

More on North Carolina's response to Trump's bullshit lies about FEMA and the hurricane response.

Now before all you Trumpists get your knickers in a twist because the link is to MSNBC, watch what Trump said. No context is missing. That's HIM saying that shit.
Sadly republicans believe lying and misinformation are better than having good ideas. It’s been their tradeoff. Why come up with good convincing ideas and getting the people to agree when their constituents are soooo stupid they’ll just believe anything. Make up some shit and you’ll have folks who claim to be “smart” “educated” and reasonable repeating lie after lie. Look at this forum as an example. Without shame the likes of DearJ, Salty, Tiny, Lama, Farmer and Wacko (there are a few other liars but I’ve since blocked them so I don’t have to read their lies) proudly repeat falsehoods over and over.

It’s one thing to argue over policies and ideas but to just lie over and over is a real tool of the ignorant and intellectually deficient. Make a strong argument as to why you’re right rather than lie as if any of us that disagree with you are dumb enough to not recognize the stupidity and falsity of your statements.

Some of these guys seem to think they're "debating."

But as Lama said "Facts are useless. They can be used to prove anything."

Most prominently, facts prove over and over that Trump and his cult are lying over and over and over again. So much so they believe this bullshit themselves. They WANT to believe this bullshit. No matter what you show them, they won't believe Trump's reaction to the hurricane response is real or won't stop repeating that there's some kind of "scandal" at FEMA.

Only way to show them how dumb this is is to reject them at the ballot box AGAIN.

Even then, they'll believe FEMA money is being used to buy illegals' vote for the Democrats. And even if they do know better - which they do - they'll keep repeating the lie. Not to convince reasonable and informed Americans that they're right, but to continue to excuse their vile and dangerous behavior and try to hide behind the Bill of Rights.
