Latest denial of disaster funding comes as Trump has repeatedly stated he wants to eliminate FEMA
Donald Trump has denied federal disaster relief funds to the people of Arkansas, which saw dozens of people die from a series of deadly tornados last month, so legislators are pleading for him to reconsider.
More than 40 people have been found dead after a series of tornados and severe storms hit Arkansas and neighboring states Mississippi and Missouri in March, according to CNN.
Given the scale of the disaster, the state’s Republican governor, Sarah Huckabee, requested federal disaster aid as a part of an emergency declaration. That request was later denied by the Trump administration.
Will Republicans ever learn not to vote for Republicans?
They’re not voting for Republicans. They’re voting against Democrats. And, no, they will never learn.
Nope. They’ve inbred themselves too far into stupidity.
They would be much more able to do so if we replaced First-past-the-post voting and let them vote outside the two party system with the ability to transfer their vote if their first choice didn’t win. No spoiler effect.
But we can’t seem to get these reforms passed in most blue states ran by self proclaimed democracy defenders in the democratic party. How can we expect red states to pass it?
