on FEMA workers, either. The government didn't "abandon" you. Trump's fanboys forced them out. And, I thought y'all were the "small government" crowd. Here's your small government.

The best possible long term results for Democrats is for us to pour money and services into these devastated areas for the next two months. Money at least equal to any going to support war efforts outside. Let the Orange man be the one to cut them off. A massive push of supplies and services into the areas is also just the right thing to do.

I'm from Jackson County NC---same as this guy. FEMA has been here since the beginning of the disaster. They're still here to help people who need it.

First, we had to get everyone to safety, then we had to get our infrastructure back up and going. Then we had to rush to get everyone into safe housing. Now it's time to clean up the debris fields. We have roads and bridges that still need to be repaired, and this guy is an idiot if he thinks it's going to happen over night.

Ironically the Republican majority state house & senate have dragged their feet passing a bill to help rebuild the area. They finally passed a bill but it was mostly aimed at restricting voting in the future and only half of the money that the Democratic governor requested.

Our biggest problem in the area is the loss of tourism. The "news cycle" told people not to come. Heck---people like him got on facebook and told people not to come. A major interstate highway is closed. This young guy needs to tighten his belt and get ready for several years of bad tourism in the area. Tourists don't come if it's raining, they're certainly not going to come if they have to take a detour to get here.

Fuck you you trump humper.

Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.

You got balls asking for help.

You fuckers only care when it happens to you.

Fuck off !!!

P.S. I am sorry for those who voted for Biden. I hope you can recover.

I don't give a flying fuck about the trump humpers. You earned and deserve everything coming your way.

It was about 2 months ago and the devastation was all the way from Florida up. Plus the other hurricane. Where does he think all that equipment would come from? Also he might want to ask the republicans who drug their feet on replenishing fema funds. If he thinks tfg would actually help maybe write him a letter. I know it’s got to be hell there still in some areas. Realistically it could be years before a full recovery. With the damage done there’s no way that much equipment could be brought in all at once. It would be nice to have that much equipment on hand all the time. But there’s no way republicans would approve the cost.

Justice matters.

It effing SNOWS in Chicago in December so it's ALL a effing WOKE BS

Good effing LUCK in the coming YEARS with the CAT3-4-5 coming back more devastating than the next, idiots!

That MAGAt without his red hat (probably for once)... is brainwashed to think money is "given" to Ukraine. Never asked himself what that money is used for, like to buy military gear MADE IN USA which provides well paid JOBS to people other than HIM in other counties than HIS.

And he will not try to learn the truth about "Climate Change is REAL" and keep voting against his own interests because F*cks Noi$e tells it like it is!!

This fella seems to be a case in point. He’s still grooving on his MAGA pink cloud. His reality check starts January 20th. Those billions he thinks are going overseas are going to be going into the pockets of connected billionaires, not to the likes of him and other common people. His neck of the woods is likely to remain messed up for a long, long time. I wish him the joy of his choice last autumn. If he finds the getting of wisdom to be painful, that’s too darn bad.

Eighty percent of our trees came down falling onto homes, businesses, power lines etc. It took many months to clear the debris. Eight years later there are still smashed buildings that have yet to be cleared. They told us it would take 10 years to get back to normal and they were right. I understand his frustration but get a grip dude.

Does this guy not remember Katrina and New Orleans?

It kind of sound like he didn't carry enough insurance and is now mad that FEMAs response to him hasn't been fast enough. Good Luck getting anything out of Trump!
