President Donald Trump - J.D. Vance Administration

[hog88]

Project 2025 doesn't advocate for merely "reforming" FEMA. Project 2025 calls for the abolishment of it, as well as putting a complete end of federal aid for states impacted by natural disasters. Judging by Trump's denial of aid to Arkansas, that evidently includes red states, as well.

That should go over great in Donald Trump's home state of Florida during hurricane season.

I don't think I would be opposed to getting rid of FEMA, it's a department that has been used beyond it's intended mission.

Did I?

Give it a go yourself, then.

Types of Assistance Available for Arkansas Survivors of Storms and Tornadoes

Arkansas homeowners and renters in Cross, Lonoke, and Pulaski counties, with uninsured or underinsured losses from the March 31 severe storms and tornadoes, may apply for help from FEMA. Here’s a summary of the types of assistance currently available to Arkansas survivors.

Check the date on that. It's April 10th. The Trump administration ordered funds withheld. I know what the FEMA link says, but there were funds designated for just such a disaster which never made it to Arkansas. Why do you think Sarah Huckabee Sanders is publicly begging for help?

Ridiculous.

 

[hog88]

Ridiculous.

Why? IMO the biggest burden should fall on the states involved.

But of course you know I'm a slash and burn the federal government to the bare bones kinda guy. Leave the money within the individual states and let us take care of ourselves.

“Trump welcomes the Canadian PM to the White House”

I hope the meeting started “Good to see you, Governor….”

And you apply this to Trump and not Obama.

Trump is President now, not Obama.

Maybe on DU or coming from MSNBC that statement is true, but not in reality. I used the left leaning fact checks to help you

Proving the hypocrisy you all live in. “What’s good for thee is not for me”.

The discussion is about current events.

What are the federal judges doing today (Most of which were placed during a democratic president)?

I guess most of them will have lunch and do some judge stuff.

@swampfoxfan …..have you applied for a CRBA for your son? Seems that would serve the purpose.

He's 45yo now I'm letting him worry with it

That is pure semantics .... "moving it" not "dismantling it." It's the same thing, just described differently.

I have never heard of that fact check site but it is not listed among the most impartial or accurate. If it's your contention that there aren't any biased right wing fact checkers? That would be laughable.

Here are a few high points

1. Houthis have capitulated. (Huge win)
2. Big announcement coming by early next week. ( Big win forthcoming)
3. Canadian PM said Canada will never sell. Trump replied “never say never”
4. Trump indicated US will not continue with trade deficit with Canada.

Ice is currently detaining citizens in their quest to rid the country of evil invaders. You really think they're going to implement an efficient fast lane?

They have.

I get that he likes to needle people and be controversial, but what value is there to this?

Translation

Republican is President now, not Democrat.

I find the amount of "what-about-isms" on here, in effort to defend Trump, to be quite amusing. We were assured all last year that Trump would be something better than Obama or Biden; not more of the same .... but that is what you are implying with the use of so many parallel deflections.

We should reform it so it fits its intended mission. That’s better than throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Semantics .... moving, dismantling, etc.

The point seems to be they want the states manage it locally versus in DC.

That's what I am trying to get a handle on. But all I got in reply was bluefont sarcasm

This is dated April 5th:

President Trump approves disaster funding for Arkansas amid heavy flooding

President Donald Trump has approved Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders' request for an Emergency Declaration for Direct Federal Assistance.

thenationaldesk.com

Was that rescinded? Was more requested and denied? Was a specific type of federal disaster aid denied while other aid was approved. I am literally trying to follow the details instead of relying on your links.

I wonder how often he visits his constituents?
