@AverageJoe1 saidOh, so that is a reason for killing FEMA. What a crock of dog poop. Why not kill every OTHER agency in the government while you are at it? Oh wait, they are doing that too.
Hey Sonhouse…..one of you was fretting about why FEMA should be shut down…….
Could this be one of the many reasons? Trump is only using common sense, a concept with which you libs are unfamiliar.
WASHINGTON—The newly appointed head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency acknowledged in private meetings that with two weeks to go until hurricane season, the agency doesn’t yet have a fully formed disaster-response
No more USAID, so children are literally dying around the world from starvation or not getting the meds that kept them alive and Musk LOVES the idea of dead children.
Or sucking off 880 BILLION from Medicaid, so 9 million people in the US will lose health insurance, blue states, red states, purple states, no matter.
Gotta get those Billionaire tax bribes going again.
It worked so WELL last time, National debt went up 3 trillion dollars with that 2 trillion dollar tax cut.
GREAT thinking.
So now instead they just want to increase the national debt SIX trillion dollars instead of the mere 3 tril last time.
Breathtaking intellectual display.
Oh, I forgot, we are not supposed to talk about such things since it would hurt some folk's feelings.....
@Cliff-Mashburn saidRIght. Hey, you were a pilot or some such. You think it's a great idea to take a 13 year old 747, loaded as it is with gold knicknacks which causes a sparkle in Trump's eye, spend over a billion dollars to convert it to a real AF1 AND now if they do that, DUMP the 4 billion dollar project where we are already building TWO AF1's, so THOSE planes will be dumped in the trash.
@sonhouse
It would have been an insult to turn it down, and I bet Trump ends up giving it to the US for government use after a respectful time has passed.
Ever think of that?
AND it will take LITERALLY years before it could actually fly as AF1 in the first place AND the senate will NEVER sign on to a billion dollar plus price tag.
BESIDES do you really think that would be a GIFT?
Are you that naive that you don't think the 'gift' will come with a political pay off in return?
To say nothing of the OTHER 'gifts', that Qatar gulf course and Trump tower.
All out of the goodness of their hearts?
Are you really that dumb you can't see a possibility of MAJOR corruption right out in the open?
To say nothing of the bitcoin debacle, HEY, you buy the most bitcoin, you get a dinner with ME the most popular president of all time right here in the White House.
We can even discuss some business over dinner.......
@sonhouse saidYou and facts have a real issue. FEMA blew their money on illegals and immigrants while sticking it to Americans, getting rid of waste and fraud in usaid sounds like a smart thing to do same with Medicaid. The rest is a nut job typing to be typing. Your 400 million cyber trucks you claim trump ordered was actually Biden, Trump canceled it just a proven Rachel Maddow lie.

No, President Biden did not order $400 million in Tesla cars. A plan to purchase $400 million worth of armored electric vehicles, which was initially reported to be specifically Teslas, was considered by the State Department but ultimately not pursued.
Here's a breakdown of the situation:
Initial reports and speculation: In early 2025, reports surfaced about a potential State Department plan to purchase $400 million in armored electric vehicles, with some sources initially suggesting these would be Teslas.
State Department clarification: The State Department clarified that the plan was to explore the possibility of purchasing armored electric vehicles from any interested manufacturer and that specifying "Tesla" in early documentation was an error.
No contract awarded: Ultimately, the State Department stated that no contract was awarded to Tesla or any other company for the purchase of armored electric vehicles and that the plan was put on hold.
Biden administration EV goals: The Biden administration had previously issued an executive order encouraging the federal government to transition to electric vehicles. However, this order did not specifically mandate or guarantee a large-scale purchase of Teslas or any specific brand.
@sonhouse saidDon't shoot the messenger. All I did was point out that they are juuuuuust ineffective enough that they need a re-tooling. You can agree that this is real bad, so why put a bandaid on FEMA? Dump it and replace with something effective.

Didn't mean to get you going.
@sonhouse saidHey, Sonhouse?? Can you put into the record all of the good qualities and accomplishments of the Trump Administration? Your comments are weighted quite heavily on the downside, if you will.
Lying your ass off as usual.

Before you answer, which I am sure you will, you might take a look at my thread yesterday that y'all do not seem to know what is going on.
I'm not the detail guy you are, but we could be approaching $10T in deals, with about 150 countries to go.
Also, I hope you appreciate my posts of clarity, you really do write a lot of stuff, gets us dizzy. Make it crisp!

Are you forgetting the SIX trillion repubs want to increase the national debt?
There IS no up side to Trump.
Killing USAID is LITERALLY killing children, an act of cruelty never before seen in a sitting president.
BESIDES the 'gifts' frome Qatar. The dictator of Qatar has been trying to pawn off that plane for years and Trump's eyes glazed over just looking at all the gold gilding inside.
Not caring in the slightest it will cost over a billion dollars to convert and get rid of microphone bugs and transmitters BEFORE we would start working to make it another AF1.
But the senate will never go for a billion dollar price tag even if they don't care it is a gift that will call for political payback.
But besides all that, there are TWO AF1 plane projects being made right now with a price tag of close to 4 billion dollars so if that gold palace was approved, those two planes would just go into the trash.
And that doesn't even talk about the 'gift' of the gulf course and new Trump tower, where a penthouse goes for 20 million dollars.
And the cryptocoin grift, the one who buys the most with the money going right into Trump's bank account, that person gets a dinner at the WH and then business would be discussed.
You can forget me finding ANYTHING positive in a would be dictator who right now has an IDIOT making a case before the Supreme court, supposedly about birthright citizenship, but really they want to stop courts from issuing injunctions stopping Trump from doing his dirty work ripping apart the government and sending people to gulags with ZERO due process of law, NOBODY gets a day in court, just Trump being judge and executioner and there is NO way of knowing whether ANY of those dudes are MS13 or whatever, ONLY Trump's word.
That is NOT good enough.
The constitution says EVERYONE accused gets a day in court and that is DUE PROCESS, which Trump HATES, CLEARLY and is as we speak trying to convince SCOTUS to go along with NO safeguards against presidential abuse in MANY areas, like arresting sitting judges, or putting AMERICAN citizens in jail with also no due process, just his word.
But you won't even read all this, just going back to YEAH, Well Look at BIDEN, HE is the REAL dictator or some such stupid so called rebuttal.
There IS no rebuttal and BTW, Trump has SO FAR lost TWO HUNDRED COURT cases stopping his cruelty and inhumane treatment of people and if SCOTUS allowed injunctions of courts to go away that would be a HUGE signal they are agreeing, he would then be a LITERAL king, ABOVE ANY LAW.
THAT is what is going on in the SCOTUS court case as we speak.
But you don't care about ANY of that cruelty that iIS Trump.
You really think if FEMA is killed something better will replace it? You are dreaming.
Trump already said ON TV, disasters are the providence of STATES and he washes his hands of ANY fed money coming in to help people dying in hurricanes or floods or earthquakes or forest fires,
Even though NO individual state can take on the billions and billions needed to help with a disaster, that is FEDERAL money needed because no state has TRILLIONS available to mitigate disasters.
THAT is the replacement of FEMA.
