FEMA Does. The president needs to sign a declaration.

This is an act of ignorance and “pushing it back to the state” as has been the prerogative since the inauguration.

Its not even defunded. Its an actual act of the president to ignore declaration requests.

Its also just had massively swept funds that are instead being appropriated to ICE.

Wait a month or two, ADA will kick in.

I honestly don’t think anyone actually informed him of how this would go down.

The president currently holds a cabinet of people and constituents who have, for the greater part of the past 12 years, relied on the ideals of sycophantic behaviour and likewise. To be in the room and suggest that an idea is not good would and likely has turned heads and gotten them removed from their positions. Look at the most recent Removal of the FEMA administrator: bashed on fema previously, incited change, told congress that axing FEMA would be a bad thing, immediately fired and replaced with a sycophant

Lack of informed information because it doesn’t align is part of the M.O. of this administration and the GOP for several years now. The only thing that matters is the ideal of greatness, whatever logic that entails.

This individual also has notably refuted and refused to consume media that doesn’t tailor to his outlook. Even bashing on Fox, which is the biggest right winged media outlet out there.

My point is, he probably did not truly know what would happen. On paper and in his entourage, tariffs are indeed technically a tax on other countries, but in practice It is a tax on the people.

My robot vacuum. I have named him Lenny. As is tradition with all non real creatures.

My floors are now clean. And I don’t need to sweep. As much. My days are changed.

Sorry about your loss. I fear that I am not far behind you.

Remember that america is now run by said incompetence with illegal firings and mass slash and burn tactics to raze the entire establishment
