About The Author
Why hasn’t Desantis been thrown out because he’s acknowledged that natural disasters actually do happen?
Trump and harris support genocide. They're morally bankrupt just like their supporters.
How can you live in Florida and vote against FEMA
Instead of fighting a war on Disney, immigrants, gays, books, education, and anything else they deem as wokeness, I’m wondering if DeSantis and the rest of the Florida Republican’s time would have been better spent fighting the Insurance companies. You know those companies that collect your premiums, then bail on their customers in their time of need.
But, if you keep voting for certain people, you are going to continue getting certain results.
Bunch a morons and ppl really vote for these clowns 🤡. American politics is a joke. So called first world
Ever notice how much Matt Gaetz looks like Fire Marshall Bill from Mad TV?
CBS went IN with this one! Kudos!
Why are they requesting the woke disaster relief and not pulling themselves by their bootstraps. I only feel bad for the victims who didn't vote for stupid republican policies.
Sounds about right. Let’s take away the pandemic play book then tell about not having one when Covid hit. Freakin right wingers.
Republicans banging into the very walls they created for themselves. Classic.
So, some of the US representatives/politicians voted against their own state interests, we live in a country where people vote against their own self-interest and then complain, I don't wanna hear it, I'm tired of hearing it, make better decisions.
I heard a rumor that DeSantis didn’t even want to talk to Kamala about aid
The government does bare minimum.. 😂😂😂. These people don’t know how things works ?!? 😅😂
Federal loan…make Florida REPAY every damn penny…WITH INTEREST!
You CAN make this stuff up because the gqp is so hypocritically predictable
Hypocrisy is the foundation of American government.
Pull yourselves up by your own bootstraps, fascists
I thought they hated "socialism" and "communism"?
Weird how they're all for it once a natural disaster hits.
Another MAGA Predator
Aren’t these the same “double-speak” morons who tell us not to trust the federal gov’t and, in particular, that FL doesn’t need federal money?
Vote BLUE
Hey your relief funds are needed in the Ukraine 🇺🇦 and the land of the chosen people. And to bribe the same politicians screwing you over.
Nope!!!! Not a friggin’ cent! Let Florida pull itself up by their bootstraps! Lol!
Hahahahahaha. Florida fails again
The unhinged delusional and dangerous GOP. Matty high-school has more faces than a cheerleaders squad
😂😂😂
You get what you deserve Florida
Sorry to admit it but the current Gov of Florida had this one right. Windmills in a Hurricane hell whole.?
What happened to Less Government! The word government is a dog whistle for Black Americans and as long as it's not a natural disaster like Katrina then it's okay to have government intervention!
Wow! I guess we have to wait until most of Florida is under water and Alabama and Georgia have a long beach, then…
Fake ai space laser hurricane
Abolish fema and let every state have their own. I don't want my tax money spent on hurricane relief in another state
It's past time to get the retrumps out of government!
