Summary
Disaster survivors in Arkansas were “blocked from receiving federal recovery aid” after Donald Trump denied Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ request for a major disaster declaration.
The Trump administration stated the damage was “not of such severity and magnitude as to be beyond the capabilities of the state.”
Trump signed executive orders to shift disaster recovery responsibility to states, while aiming to eliminate FEMA.
Sanders appealed, writing, “the state and its citizens are in dire need of assistance.” Without federal aid, “volunteer organizations in Arkansas are stepping up” as the state faces “significant challenges” in recovery efforts.
Sounds like we agree on most things. Here’s to the reformation, or if that doesn’t work, the revolution. Cheers.
We definitely do! It’s amazing how two people can have a conversation on the internet without it being a competition.
Open that fourth box.
Ah, yes. I forgot we were on the internet for a moment. Where are my manners:
As retribution for not sharing my worldview in its entirety, I’d like to take this opportunity to insult your god, gods, or lack thereof, as well as any ethnic, national, socioeconomic, and racial identities to which you may hold. I regret that we don’t know enough about each other to be more specific, so please infer whatever stereotypical pejoratives you feel are most appropriate and offensive to you and your family’s particular demographic situations
In all seriousness. Thanks for the amicable discussion. It’s a nice respite in an increasingly polarized world.
YOU DON’T KNOW ME
Oooo, yeah. That’s the good stuff. Haven’t gotten capslocked in a long time. Really takes me back to the good ol’ toxicity. Thank you.
