Fuck the Dems and the deep state except when the Dems and the deep state don’t give me money
They better get back to work before the next one hits.
Please.vote the republican party out of office!
Conservative propaganda doesn’t work right if you act like a reasonable human being
…and their constitutes believe them.
That is exactly why they do this. Vote against anything and everything good while Dems have power, then when something happens that those bills could have prevented you blame them for lack of support. Then stupid people believe you and vote you in so you can ban gay people and give rich people free money.
Biden need to do a public speak, talk on TV about how congress is holding more help to people.
It’s amazing how many times repubs prove they are willing to risk people’s lives in order to use them as political pawns. People have lost their homes, have lost their fucking towns, people have lost their families and repubs are hoping they’ll be upset enough to vote against harris and blame her for everything right up to blaming her for the hurricane itself!!! Fucking psycohopaths.
The Gingrich effect. Oppose everything the other party presents in the legislature and sabotage enacted policies that benefit all people regardless of party. Then promote that government is a failure and needs to be dressed down and privatized.
It’s the Eric Andre meme where he shoots Hannibal and blames someone else for letting it happen.
But that’s why they did it, so they could blame the democrats.
Just because it’s not clear to me that people in the thread don’t know this. Nobody has ever voted explicitly against funding FEMA emergency services. On september 25th, some republicans did vote against a continuing resolution spending bill, which would fund the government between september 30th and december 20th 2024. The approved $20B for FEMA emergency funding for this period represents approximately 1.18% of the estimated 1.7 trillion approved for those 3 months.
The actually interesting thing here if we’re focusing on FEMA specifically is that at some point a supplementary $10B for FEMA emergency funding was in the bill but was removed before a vote. I can find quotes of both republicans and democrats complaining about this removal but i cannot find anybody on record explaining the removal. If anybody can find that I’d appreciate it. Being specific about who did what why can be very helpful when explaining why things happen. Any republican hearing “they voted against fema funding” because of a no vote in a 1.7T ongoing resolution knows that opinion is worthless, but hearing that “senator x” insisted on removal of an additional 0.6% in spending to fund necessary disaster relief during hurricane helene may actually vote against senator x.
Goes to show how much they actually give a shit about their constituents, when they belligerently vote against their interests during a disaster in order to score political points.
