You gotta be effin’ kidding. Head of FEMA doesn’t know there is hurricane season? Only the best
and brightest in this Administration. That is scary. Wonder if the guy has a Music degree?

I'm with you, shut down that agency

Better to shut down this whole administration
Bumbling morons
I was going to say it doesn’t get dumber but then I read your post. God, no depth
of stupidity is deep enough for you MAGAnuts.
How about appointing someone competent? Of course you would be against helping your fellow
disaster stricken country men and women as the solution. We need to extend those billionaire tax cuts though.
Not a bad idea. The states can handle it.

Wow…just wow

Yeah, that's what James Madison said. Worked until 1979.
But seriously, not every state is spending themselves into a debt crisis, so many could handle things. What do you think about tornados? Very isolated damages, often in a single state? Should FEMA be involved? If so, why?
Granted, FEMA spending can go down if we only help people who voted for the sitting president, like Biden's FEMA tried to do in the south with the hurricane & flooding.
In emergencies, EVERY state receives federal $$$ and the services of FEMA…
when needed. Having said that, FEMA isn’t perfect, but it serves an important purpose.
Even if true, is it necessary to have that at the federal level for purely local disasters?
Maybe that is how they make it fair. Granted, they aren't perfect, as you say, since they provide aid on the basis of political viewpoints.
That’s a crock of shit…
Provide services based on politics? Proof and not just your opinion.
And to answer your question…yes in cases of major emergencies…tornados, hurricanes.
Figures you hadn't heard about it. FEMA employee admitted she was told no aid to Trump supporters

Actually, a FEMA employee was fired for telling workers to avoid Trump supporters…
It was not a directive from the executive level. It was an isolated incident that was corrected as soon as it was discovered. Swing and a miss!

Not what the states impacted by ‘Milton’ were saying in 2024.

It’s one of the few core functions of the national govt. that shouldn’t be in dispute.
The fact that you think that should be shirked to the states shows how messed up you are.
"...powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution...are reserved to the States....
FEMA didn't exist for the first 200 years of the United States. If it has always been a core function of government (after more core functions like border protection and a fair, non-weaponized justice system), then it was handled by the States for longer than by the Federal government.
I'm not saying FEMA is unconstitutional; only that FEMA is allowed rather than required at the national level, and there could be other ways to handle the function. FEMA was politically weaponized after Hurricane Milton. That is banana republic type behavior, and organizations in which that happens should have their houses cleaned, with layoffs, so future employees know they should not do that, and will act professionally instead.
You are a real doofus. In the 21st century, the people rightly expect that these natural disasters
are handled at the national level given their size and scope. And it is entirely constitutional and a rational expectation.
