Trump also said he planned to distribute disaster relief funds directly from the president's office.

"We're going to do it much differently," Trump said in a briefing at the White House in response to a question about when he planned to eliminate FEMA and what his message was to governors regarding states bearing more disaster-relief costs.

"We're going to give out less money," he said.

"We're going to give it out directly. It'll be from the president's office. We'll have somebody here, could be Homeland Security."

.
.
With Trump deciding where the money goes, he can hand out relief to "loyal" states and governors. Florida, Louisiana, and Texas — the biggest FEMA recipients — are already red. And Mar-A-Lago is here, so no worries for me. It will be interesting to see what happens the next time Cali has a wildfire. Even more interesting will be to watch as Cali, representing 1/6th of federal tax revenue, becomes more and more convinced that they don't need to pay.

    I was in favor of secession when I lived in California. That hasn't changed. They'd be much better off withput the dead weight of a fucking fascist president holding them down.


  2. by Ponderer on June 10, 2025 7:32 pm

    You know what? Trump's regime is starting to sound less like a fascist state and more like a theocracy. A theocracy where he's the god. A Dictatorial Theocracy! You must pay His Worship the appropriate amount of fealty and tribute, or thou shalt not receive the miracle of money that your disaster requires.

    So he is just going to replace FEMA with himself? And His Majesty shall decide if he's going to help a state with its natural disasters or not?

    Are you stupidfucking moron MAGA Hats okay with this?



    Jesus God help us.


  3. by HatetheSwamp on June 11, 2025 3:33 am

    "We're going to do it much differently," Trump said..."

    Just exactly what he promised, repeatedly in the campaign.

    But, po, and the rest of the Swampcult think that a national debt of $37,000,000,000,000 is just fine... but not as grand as one that's $40,000,000,000,000, which ain't as fine as 50,000,000,000,000... or more!

    If y'nes didn't want this, you should not have lockstepped with the smoke-filled room's conspiracy to inflict a Day Drinker on voters.

    Trump's just keeping promises. Nuthin more. This is your fault.

    Nobody cares about the deficit. Your boy DICK Cheney said it doesn’t matter.


  5. by Navy2711 on June 11, 2025 5:37 am

    Hate,

    Can you explain some of your jargon, please?

    1. For starters, who is the "day drinker" that you're referring to?

    2. And what's this thing where you ... cackle? ... or whatever TF it is? You type things like, "keee heee hhaaa hhaa". What IS that?


  6. by HatetheSwamp on June 11, 2025 6:05 am

    "The Day Drinker" is a Gutfeld-ism. It's one of his terms of endearment for former Vice President Harris. Sometimes she's Cackles Mckneepads.

    As far as cackles is concerned, your media probably splices out Ms Harris' fits of insane laughter but, on the right, they're still all the rage.

    Estee Palti, a former frigginNURSE, has made a fortune out of mocking Kammy's laugh. See video, #hilarious, first mini cackle at 2:00:

    1. What's the connection between Kamala and day drinking? Is there some story behind it?

    2. Is that what you're doing when you type, "Keee heee haaa haaa"? Are you imitating Kamala?


  8. by HatetheSwamp on June 11, 2025 6:31 am

    Navy,

    Having you ever been around a drunk trying to pass as sober? That's Cackles. I know the woke SwampMedia minimizes it, but that's what I see.


  9. by Navy2711 on June 11, 2025 7:42 am

    Hate,

    1. "that's what I see" Uh ... okay. Weird, but whatever.

    2. Can you answer my question #2, please? Here it is again:

    Is that what you're doing when you type, "Keee heee haaa haaa"? Are you imitating Kamala?


  10. by Donna on June 11, 2025 7:46 am

    Shitler wants to make the states responsible for disaster relief, which means that red states like Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas would go bankrupt after one major hurricane.

    Great plan, Shitler!


  11. by HatetheSwamp on June 11, 2025 8:29 am

    Donna,

    You probably have no idea how many months western North Carolina suffered after their hurricane last year. You get "news" in the form of outright lies, and accept it uncritically... but,

    You can't possibly be suggesting that "that feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap's" FEMA did well enough.


  12. by oldedude on June 11, 2025 8:32 am
    To add if I can. In a statement to the media, even the left is saying she was "obviously intoxicated." It was 2pm where she was (maybe HI?). The name stuck. The party are really just trying to forget her, and the media doesn't mention her much.

    Back to the thread.
    There are a few non-profit NGOs that can be supported through the government.

    Obviously the Red Cross. With the exception of UT and ID, they're the mainstay of personal support on the ground. They provide alot of daily things needed for a family. Food, Diapers, Hygiene kits, etc.

    The second is Team Rubicon. Self-sufficient teams that are staffed by certified construction folks that is about 90% military, which is where they draw their folks from. Most are engineers to begin with and still have to go through the Rubicon certification process. They bring their own food, water, gasoline, etc.

    The third big one is Mercury One is a group of ex- military folks, mostly former operators and PAVE pilots that have their own helicopters. They were VERY active in recovering US personnel and terps in Afghanistan (with their own money and then received donations). The rotary wing assets were in NC and were told that if they continued to "rescue" people, they would be arrested under the direction of FEMA. Some of the small airports around the area donated fuel so the helicopters could continue their missions of providing food, water, gas, etc. to people FEMA wouldn't get in to. Being Southerners, the airfields also had to use back roads to field fuel the helicopters where FEMA wouldn't arrest them. THUSLY are the stories about FEMA being useless and a burden on the locals.

    Salvation Army- Provides food usually in different places than ARC.

    Some others that donate: I would absolutely be remiss if I didn't mention other groups that ask for nothing from the government. Some use this for a tax write-off, some just do it.

    Home Depot also brings in (literally) laundromats so people can wash cloths just to live in. I'm sure this is a tax write-off, but they've responded in FL, CA, OK, GA, SC, NC, AL, and many other places using local stores to load their trucks.

    If in SOCAL (usually)- Guy Fieri, shows up unannounced and doesn't like publicity. He'll cook for days, Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a squad of cooks, logistics folks, etc.

    Cajun Navy- A total mainstay in the south for providing water rescues (mainly). Like Rubicon and Mercury One, they are completely self-contained. Bringing their own food, gas, water, etc. Having their own infrastructure is a key during disasters.

    The groups I mentioned usually are self contained, and I haven't seen them for more than three days at a time (we were taking down meth labs and that's the routine).

    And there are literally THOUSANDS of other groups nation-wide that support their own. I mentioned that UT and ID didn't use ARC, Salvation Army much. That's because the local LDS Temple will bring food, water, everything they think you need.


  13. by Navy2711 on June 11, 2025 8:35 am

    OD,

    In regard to your comments about Kamala: Are we cool talking about things that aren't the original topic of the thread? Because just yesterday, you said that you would only respond to the topic of the thread. Maybe that only applies on threads where you've had your nose rubbed in irrefutable evidence that you were dead wrong?

    As usual, Donna shows her ignorance in regards to Florida. We're the 4th largest economy in America behind only NY, TX and CA.


  15. by meagain on June 11, 2025 11:48 am
    Climate-related disasters have almost doubled in the USA from 20 years ago. FEMA saves a great deal of money with its coordinated response and more from its help with the development of more resistant infrastructure and advance warnings.


  16. by HatetheSwamp on June 11, 2025 11:54 am

    meagain,

    I'm pretty sure that's bull$#!t but I'll entertain a link from a reliable source.

    navy- Because just yesterday, you said that you would only respond to the topic of the thread. Maybe that only applies on threads where you've had your nose rubbed in irrefutable evidence that you were dead wrong?

    It was just to clarify a point. The FACT that YOU BROUGHT IT UP has no affect on me. You're the fucking troll. Start a "new thread" (if you can), and please cite. asshole.


  18. by meagain on June 11, 2025 12:52 pm
    I'm pretty sure that's bull$#!t but I'll entertain a link from a reliable source."

    You ought to know what FEMA does without a link. You are not getting a link to the disasters. You will just have to accept that I am not a moron like you and know something about climate change that I have been writing about for more tha 30 years, tryuing to wake idiots like you to the danger that is now an existential crisis. Twice as many numerically and about 8 times the monetary damage.


  19. by Navy2711 on June 11, 2025 12:53 pm

    OD,

    "Start a "new thread"

    Why don't you just go over to the thread where it's already being discussed and answer THERE?

    https://www.selectsmart.com/post/index.html?article=6559

    Never mind, I know why. It's because you're dead wrong, and you're not man enough to admit.

  20. by Indy! on June 11, 2025 1:24 pm

    The entire time I've known OD, I don't remember him ever once admitting he was wrong. That's because he's not an "alpha male" (despite what his t-shirt says) - he's a baby-man with the most fragile ego I've ever come across.


  21. by oldedude on June 11, 2025 3:51 pm
    HEY. ASSHOLES. That is about another asshole, Garcia, a wife beater and human trafficker. NOT about CRUISE missiles. navy. can you just buy a fucking clue and get some original material. Every time you come at me, you're cutting and pasting what other people have said because you're too stupid to think for yourself.


  22. by Navy2711 on June 11, 2025 4:50 pm

    Okay, that's it. You've had enough chances.

    You are now my bitch.

    Enjoy your new status.

    You're psychotic. Get the fuck away from me.


  24. by Navy2711 on June 11, 2025 4:59 pm

    I made an announcement, now it's official.

    *flicks index finger*

    Peel me a grape, OD.

    Well I hope y'all love not having FEMA around. We'll see how long you last. I'm good with it.





  27. by oldedude on June 12, 2025 3:32 pm
    I think FEMA has gotten out of control. Someone built their fiefdom for generations. FEMA can go door to door and search without warrants. That violates the constitution. It's one thing to look for people. I understand and support that. IF that's what their intent is (which it isn't).

    I also understand what cowboy aircraft have to do with chaos in the sky. And FEMA has never attempted to bring in or use local flight control to ensure safety of the aircraft and to coordinate rescue of folks no one else can get to.

    My view is that FEMA would be a great organizer of missions with limited capabilities. What everyone knows is that some states/areas/ counties are total cluster *****. I'll agree with that without a doubt. MY point was to say FEMA needs to assist and coordinate the local, state, and federal processes.

    I know on several of the disasters there were folks from the active-duty Air Force there to marry up with National Guard units. Search and Rescue guys that spend a year+ in school 6 days a week to learn their job. Controllers that can call in rotary, and fixed wing assets, COMMS folks that have their own "towers" to guide aircraft (and are certified civilian tower operators). These things are available. And that's just the Air side.

    Marines from Camp Lejune were called to NOLA and should be a fixture in all hurricane and flooding scenarios. All these units have their own infrastructure and have aircraft and vehicles no one else in the US has.

    So. I'm not disagreeing with you about missing it. I'm saying the kingdom needs to be restructured.
