    I can see Verruckterfuhrer intentionally causing so many disasters that have to be litigated he would call for suspending the 2028 presidential election.

    Noem, head of Homeland Security is going to dissolve FEMA.

    Lawmakers are trying to pass a bill to get FEMA out from under Homeland and make it an independent agency.

    Maybe they should have thought of that when they put it in Homeland in the first place.

    But then the nutjobs weren't spreading lies about FEMA then.

    This is going to be a fucking nightmare during the next natural disaster.


    FEMA set for elimination, Noem says, amid bipartisan House reform proposal

    The red states, esp those with dedicated TITR leaders, will take priority over the blue states. We've already seen how CA is being punished by Verruckterfuhrer Trump.

    We saw it under Little Bush.

    Texas has attempted to punish, with varying degrees of success, the blue counties. Harris County, where Houston is located, has been a major target for retribution.

    Fucking, hell, weaponized disaster relief.
    That is about an awful thing as I can imagine.

    Being retributive is how Republicans operate now. Trump has helped make it a matter of course.

    President Donald Trump is demanding a 'full throated apology' from Maine Gov. Janet Mills in his spat with the state over transgender athletes, implying his administration will continue to target the state unless he gets one.

    The Democratic governor got into an argument with the president during a governors’ meeting at the White House in February, telling the president 'we’ll see you in court' when he threatened to pull federal funding from the state if it failed to comply with his order to ban trans athletes from playing in women’s and girls sports.

    During his campaign Verruckterfuhrer Trump even threatened to go after people making contributions to the Democratic party & Dem candidates. I haven't heard of him actually doing this, but a man can only start so many fires in a short time period.
