Political discussions about everything

Geezus H. Cryst, johnny, even your own partisan gossip rags like FOXnews and the NYPost reported that this is a lie.

“These claims are completely false,” DHS said in a statement Thursday to Fox News following the Republican outcry.

“As Secretary Mayorkas said, FEMA has the necessary resources to meet the immediate needs associated with Hurricane Helene and other disasters. The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) [for the migrants] is a completely separate, appropriated grant program that was authorized and funded by Congress and is not associated in any way with FEMA’s disaster-related authorities or funding streams.”-NYPost

And even if you believe these lies from your handlers, at least get your lies straight.
Republican North Carolina Gov. Cooper said he had no problem getting Biden on the phone days ago and getting everything he needed. So clearly there was this "Money" that you say wasn't there.

Why is it you morons refuse to believe even your own Republicans telling you that disaster relief is being handled well by the Biden Administration? Are you trying to say that all these Republicans are a bunch of liars? (Say it and I'll believe you, johnny. After all, who would know Republicans are liars better than you....you imbecile.)

"...the reason FEMA says it has no money to help NC and other places..."-johnfibs

But FEMA DOESN'T say it has no money to help NC and other places, johnny.
You made it up as you make up everything you post. And you're confusing FEMA with Homeland Security.

Homeland Security Secretary Myorkas said just the opposite, that there was the money needed for NC and other places hit by Helene.
"“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have,” Mayorkas said during a press gaggle on Air Force One en route to tour damage from Hurricane Helene in South and North Carolina."-NYPost

Stop making a fool of yourself. I keep telling you not to get your news from partisan internet gossip sites, but you just won't listen.

In 2024 alone -- a year not yet ended -- FEMA spent 640 million on illegal aliens.

It really shouldn't be legal to expend funds meant for emergency help to be utilized for discretionary matters such as the Democrats who permitted 8 to 10 million new illegal aliens to enter the US since 2021.

Mr Forbes will accept Clowntoker's apology now.
#137936
But But,,,uneployment is down and so is inflation, plus the Biden administration has added about 250,000 jobs...!
I hope North Carolina appreciates how much Joe and Kamala are doing for them.
Maybe now the locals will praise the feds(FEMA) too..instead of praising only all those non-profits and volunteers' groups that are doing all the heavy lifting..

"In 2024 alone -- a year not yet ended -- FEMA spent 640 million on illegal aliens."-johnflubs

So what? FEMA addressed an emergency need in this country. It's what they do.


"It really shouldn't be legal to expend funds meant for emergency help to be utilized for discretionary matters..."-johnflubs

But it is. That's just your opinion. I have an asshole too. What's your point?


"Mr Forbes will accept His Lordship's apology now."-johnflubs

Why would I apologize for telling you the truth, johnny? You posted no evidence whatsoever that I was wrong about anything I said, nor that you were right about what FEMA said.

But I AM sorry that you are such a dishonest partisan scumbag. I would much prefer that we could discuss reality here.

Both johnfibs and sillydummy will be relieved to know that the Biden Administration is doing quite well with disaster relief, thank you very much.
More Republicans have come out to dispel the lies spread by Trump and johnforbes about how there is no money to help Helene victims:

"A mayor in Tennessee joined other local officials Friday to denounce skepticism and rumors that have swirled around the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) response to the devastation in the southeastern U.S. from Hurricane Helene.

"Mayor Glenn Jacobs (R), who serves Knox County, Tenn., signaled in a post online that the attacks on the administration could make recovery efforts more difficult.

"“To my knowledge, FEMA, TEMA, nor anyone else is confiscating supplies,” Jacobs, a former professional wrestler, wrote Friday in a post on social platform X. “Please quit spreading those rumors as they are counterproductive to response efforts.”

“If everyone could maybe please put aside the hate for a bit and pitch in to help, that would be great,” he added.

The message comes days after allegations were floated that FEMA does not have enough money to provide disaster assistance, is stealing cash donations from survivors and has turned away volunteers.

It also follows skepticism from former President Trump around the Biden administration’s response to the deadly storm, when he claimed FEMA would use hurricane funds on migrants. The White House pushed back on these claims Friday, calling out the GOP for “using Hurricane Helene to lie and divide us.”"-The Hill


Maybe now johnny and silly will stop their counterproductive spreading of lies about FEMA and Helene relief efforts? Let's see if they will listen to Republicans tell them (again) that they're wrong, shall we?

One can only hope that, as the Mayor said, could maybe johnforbes and sillydummy please put aside the hate for a bit and pitch in to help? That would be great.

It's surprising to see johnforbes so upset about Trump's moving $155 million from FEMA disaster relief for immigration enforcement back in 2019. johnforbes was all for it five years ago. He was just fine taking money from American disaster relief to spend on immigrants back then. This is something that even Biden hasn't done. Unlike Trump, Biden never depleted FEMA disaster relief money to give money to illegal immigrants.

"...and leaving American citizens to perish after a hurricane in NC, was disgusting."-johnfibs

It never happened, you lying sack of shit. No American citizens were left "to perish after a hurricane in NC."
What's truly disgusting is you posting such a blatant lie to the detriment of relief efforts, as Republicans have told you.

"Politicians and emergency responders in the disaster zone stretching from Georgia to North Carolina, including many Republican elected officials, have refuted the lies and urged people [like johnforbes] to stop sharing unsupported rumors on social media.

Kerry Giles, the public information officer for Rutherford County, NC, told CNN on Saturday that debunking the rumors “did consume resources that could have been more effectively utilized in the recovery efforts.”-CNN

No money is being diverted from disaster response needs. None. FEMA’s disaster response efforts and individual assistance are funded through the Disaster Relief Fund, which is a dedicated fund for disaster efforts.

Another Republican begs johnforbes to stop his partisan lies about FEMA disaster aid for Helene victims:

"Chuck Edwards (R), the member for North Carolina’s 11th district, contradicted criticism from Trump and others of the Biden administration’s handling of the disaster by voicing praise for “a level of support that is unmatched by most any other disaster nationwide”.

He also condemned “outrageous rumors”, which he said were hampering attempts to aid badly affected communities in his constituency."-The Guardian

Stop making things worse with your peevish and petty partisan prevarications, johnny. Show some human decency for a change.
This is as bad as your droning denial of global warming. Trump supporters pretend to be upset about disaster aid responses, but it is their own fault the disasters occurred because they have fought all rational responses to fight climate change. That the annual storms now all seem to be "100 year storms" and the one that wiped out Chimney Rock was even called a "1000 year storm." These increasingly disastrous weather systems have now become the norm because of Republican ignorance and lies about climate change. And Republicans STILL won't do anything and the storms are only going to get worse and more frequent. (As we are seeing with the mere two-week time lag between hurricanes Helene and Milton.)

We're going to have to listen to this sort of disingenuous Republican whining about the terrible weather every year from now on as they now blame the weather on Democrats-- literally. Conspiracy nut jobs like Marjorie Taylor Greene and johnforbes actually believe Democrats control the weather.

"The Republican from Georgia claimed last week that “they” can control the weather after Hurricane Helene killed more than two dozen people in her state and more than 230 across the US. While she did not clarify who “they” was at the time, Joe Biden said the idea the federal government controlled the weather was “beyond ridiculous”."-The Independent

“Yes they can control the weather." “It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”-Marjorie Taylor Greene

So johnflubs reports that Republicans are complaining that FEMA has no disaster relief money, eh?

It's odd that johnfoibles would complain about that since Republicans didn't WANT FEMA to have disaster relief money. Republicans are the reason that disaster relief funds were not increased when Democrats tried to pass a bill increasing disaster relief funds even as Helene was baring down on Florida.

And the real tragic joke is that a lot of the Republicans who voted the funds down are from Florida.

"When Congress was debating a short-term government funding resolution last month, Democrats pushed for the bill to include billions in additional disaster-relief funding. A cohort of far-right conservatives favored a stripped-down resolution that didn't include the extra disaster-relief money - and ultimately got their way."

"The concessions still weren't enough for the nearly 100 Republicans in the House and Senate who voted against the resolution that passed - and the $20 billion funding base it allocated to FEMA as Hurricane Helene bore down on the East Coast. Many of those Republicans represent Florida, which is now bracing for Hurricane Milton. Reps. Aaron Bean, Gus Bilirakis, Kat Cammack, Byron Donalds, Matt Gaetz, Laurel Lee, Anna Paulina Luna, Cory Mills, Bill Posey, Mike Waltz, and Daniel Webster all voted against the bill in the House."

"Some of the Republicans who voted against funding FEMA are now calling for more money." (Well surprise, surprise...)
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics ... 2d46&ei=51

So apparently supposedly 'fiscally responsible' Republicans hate government spending---unless, of course, that money is to be spent on THEM and THEIR problems. THEN they want another 10 billion dollars. They thought it was a bad idea when Democrats tried to get it for the entire country. Now they think it's a great idea because clearly they believe THEIR problems deserve government money, but other people's problems don't.

So the idea is that first Republicans make sure there is no money allocated for disaster relief by voting down the funding bill. Then those same Republicans complain that FEMA doesn't have enough money for disaster relief and start calling for funding increases. :/

Why is it that every Republican is a fucking hypocrite? (You're obviously qualified to answer that one for us, johnny.)

Using their own news releases, FEMA gave about 1 billion to towns to give for the housing and care of illegal aliens.

Changing voter demographics with illegal aliens to help Democrats, that is NOT an "emergency" which taxpayer money should be used for.

The employees on video in NC were obese and sitting in trucks, wearing polo shirts with logos, but doing nothing but offering SBA loan paperwork...

"Changing voter demographics with illegal aliens to help Democrats, that is NOT an "emergency"..."-Dishonestjohn

Illegal aliens can't vote, you moron, and they DON'T vote.

What is it with all the idiotic Republican conspiracy theories? They have never found a case of such widespread voter fraud by illegal immigrants, but they keep repeating the nonsense because gullible low-IQ clowns like johnforbes believes anything his handlers tell him without a shred of evidence.

"The employees on video in NC were obese and sitting in trucks, wearing polo shirts with logos,..."-johnflubs

And Trump is obese and sitting in an airplane wearing red hats with a logos. What's your point, johnny? That it's okay if Trump does it, but not is someone else does it?


"...but doing nothing but offering SBA loan paperwork..."-johnflubs

So was that their job, dimwit? To offer SBA loan paperwork to hurricane victims? You don't think business owners who have lost their businesses because of Helene don't need SBA loans?

Your stupidity knows no limits, does it, johnny.
#137975
Seven or eight states give out driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

In 14 states, no ID is required to be presented to vote.

As long ago as Obama's presidency, he was assuring voters in California that no ID would be demanded of illegal aliens there to vote.

It is a pretty notion that illegal aliens can't vote (and all good people don't want them to), but alas not correct.
