Trump Tells Lies About FEMA

[HighStepper]

There was a time when all levels of government came together to deal with disasters in a NONPARTISAN way. Unfortunately not in the era of Trump. How can anyone support this liar for President? (rhetorical question)

Misinformation complicates Hurricane Helene recovery efforts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eErfT3ikStE

Video length: 3:56 minutes FEMA and the White House pushed back on former President Donald Trump's false claim that disaster relief money was spent on migrants. Those funds are separate from migrant response programs.

FEMA Hurricane Helen Fact vs Rumor:

• FALSE Rumor: FEMA does not have enough money to provide disaster assistance for Helene.
• FALSE Rumor: FEMA is no longer accepting applications for housing assistance.
• FALSE Rumor: FEMA is asking for cash donations and turning away volunteers
• FALSE Rumor: FEMA will only provide $750 to disaster survivors to support their recovery.
• FALSE Rumor: FEMA is blockading people in Florida and preventing evacuations.
• FALSE Rumor: FEMA only provides loans to disaster survivors.
• FALSE Rumor: The FAA is restricting access to the airspace for Helene rescue and recovery operations.
• FALSE Rumor: FEMA distributes aid based on demographic characteristics.
• FALSE Rumor: Applying multiple times for disaster assistance will speed up the process of being approved
• FALSE Rumor: FEMA is in the process of confiscating Helene survivor property. If I apply for disaster assistance and my land is deemed unlivable, my property will be seized.

More and more reports from people who were affected just prove Trump continues to lie, and his base continues to lap it up regardless of facts...

Trump is right the country is goning to hell and he leads the way...   people don't seem to care about lying...

[CigarMan]

OK.  Politicians lie, exaggerate or whatever you want to call it, has been happening since politicians were invented

Here are a couple of facts:
 The Homeland Security Secretary said WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY for FEMA to get through hurricane season.
 It took almost seven days to get help to North Carolina, many of the first helicopters were private.
 Biden was on the beach and handled the disaster by phone for 2 hours (his words)
 Harris has NEVER called DeSantis for any other hurricane AND DeSantis spoke with Biden.
 FEMA is there to help the LOCAL authorities NOT be first responders, but they should have a budget to take care of their duties.
 Look to see how Florida deals with the devastation today compared to North Carolina.
 Her claim that the Govt is controlling weather proved Margorie Taylor Green is an idiot and probably thinks Contrails are Chemtrails too.

If you want to see how AMERICAN's operate look at the Cajun Navy, The Red Cross, United Way.  Let's not let politics get in the way of treating each other well.
My two cents.

No that's not quite right.  Kemp said he spoke with Biden by phone and Biden told him they the federal government was ready to help... Kemp said they had it under control but Trump told a crowd Biden and the feds were stalling.

Trump says anything to stir shit up and create confusion chaos and waste of taxpayers money on his bullshit.  He did it all through his presidency and you can bet he will be worse if he gets rehired for 4 years.  I want a president to be a role model for our children.  Are adults going to punish their kids for being dishonest when they support a lying scum bag? 

[Bande]

Many fall for the lies and propaganda from the left.
Trump will be proven correct again.
Fact is, Mayorkas prior to hurricane season stated they were prepared and hjad enough $$$ for hurricane seaeson.
Then all the sudden Hurricane hits and Mayorkas does a press conference stating Fema would not have enough $$$$.
When one researches money was allocated for illegal immigrants. along with the failure to respond timely.
Not to mention money supporting other countries rather than our own.'
Biden is calling for Congress to convene when he has the stroke of a pen to resolve much of this...
Fema stopping and turning around trucks sending aid is crazy as well. Yeah, they are for the people..

Are some of you serious? 
You really think your side is 100% angels and never makes a mistake?
Give me a fucking break.

Give me a fucking break.

So if neither side is 100 percent perfect, nobody from either side can complain? Is that what we're working with here? lol

[dogwalker]

People can complain but some people here act like their side is always right.  Should I name who those people are?  Nevermind, it's obvious.  I take a more realistic and balanced approach instead of some knee-jerk, fake news fed, shoved down your throat and believe everything you WANT to believe in approach just because it fits your agenda.

In other words it is VERY clear who is a liberal or conservative in this forum for the most part....duh.
Y'all been criticizing each other with nearly ZERO understanding or acknowledgement of another point of view for years.  Really? THAT is what is wrong with America.....so look in the mirror and shame on you.

[Hobby]

People believe their opinion is right otherwise they would not express it. People express opinion based on their knowledge and experiences which can differ from other point of view.  If you don't agree with their opinion or thought question them don't attack them. If you can change a person's beliefs you can change their opinion.

I was a Republican most of my life. (strong defense, strong military alliances, fiscally responsible, always trying to balance the budget). My desire for social justice grew throughout my life. Civil rights, Women's rights, Gay rights. 

I have watched as wealth in America has consolidated to a smaller and smaller % of the US population. I came to the realization that our tax system is corrupt/broken and favors the very wealthy.  High character Billionaires will tell you that they don't pay enough.

Along comes Trump who enhanced the tax advantages of the very wealthy while impinging on the rights of many minorities and women. Selling poor, white working class folks on the idea that minorities (the bad people) are out to get them and only he can stop them. 

I'd love to say I'd vote for a balanced budget, strong military, high character Republican again, but I just don't see those people in that party anymore.

That's not what's wrong. Rejecting another point of view is not the same as failing to understand it. On the contrary, the extremists who currently lead the "conservatives" in this country have long made clear that they have abandoned any belief in American democracy.

I understand and acknowledge their point of view. I don't tolerate it.

I totally agree.  But nothing I can do about it.  I was raised on a dirt poor farm.  All my clothes were hand me downs till I left home and enlisted in the Air Force.  I hated school loved the military and got a really good education in electronics and microwave.  Everything I got I had to earn. So my background was formed in farming  and military.  I was a staunch Republican loved Reagan Bush Sr. but when stupid Bush Jr invaded Iraq is when I saw the Republican party fall apart. As a independent I voted for Obama in 2008 he inherited a huge financial crisis but managed to get the economy back on its feet. Inflation unemployment all was headed to record lows when Trump took over and claimed credit a year later.  During the covid pandemic Trump as usual thinking he knows more and smarter than everyone else lied to us over and over how serious the pandemic really was.  The reason Trump lost the election is how he handled the pandemic.  When he left office the US economy was upside down with millions played off and business forced to close and never to reopen. I read the other day a question are you better off than 4 years ago?  Hell yes I am and so are the millions who survived covid.  Trump only cares about out saving his ass from going to prison. I noticed many billionaires are getting cozy with Trump.  Trump is reelected won't really affect me but there will be millions of young folks who will be paying the price...
