The follow up question should have been:
What if your failure to send aid causes enough poor dumb republican voters to die to cost you the election?
What direction would Tampa swing the election?
I'm a Republican Voter in Florida and this REAFFIRMS my LOVE of Voting Republican! I'd rather LOSE MY HOME then to have my Tax Dollars help me instead of a Billionaire!
Sad thing is that he can openly say this, because none of the trump voters will even see this. Their disinformation channels will just say that Democrats are blocking it.
If those people actually tracked any news they wouldn't be as easy to manipulate.
I wish we could get all the innocent people out of Florida and leave only people like you to get eaten by alligators :3
Nvm your post in c/conservative a while ago is making fun of them, you've really gotta start putting some /s's in those shitposts friend, this was almost obvious but republicans are Literally Unhinged and most would unironically say and believe everything in this comment
There was a silent /s at the end
Edit: I think you might understand that and are playing along. Apologies
Shid you're right, I should've paid more attention in French class
All good lol, I was trying to help, not be rude
You weren't rude friend you're good :3 I didn't think op was joking when I replied, admittedly I suck at spotting sarcasm online but op kinda just read like a trump tweet and I had to check their profile to confirm it was a joke lol
He had me in the first half, not gonna lie
Gotta pull yourself up from by the bootstraps!
Vacation is much more important than your supporters.
It doesn't matter. The 'shift blame' spell the right have cast on their base means they have impunity because the consequences will be automatically attributed to some other scapegoat.
Na… that’s a convenient coincidence. Funding an effective FEMA would make the Biden administration look good. This is the same bullshit that they pulled when they killed the border deal.
Monday morning:
Article II, Section 3 them, Biden. Prove to the county who really want to help the county and who wants to help themselves.
the republicants wouldn't pass anything, other than some nonsense whining about why they were called back to session.
It would still be worth it, just to get it on the record. It would also make a great campaign ad.
Yeah, obvs that $20 billion wasn't enough because climate change. So more is still needed.
This is a great idea!
Not sure what your point is, also given Katrina cost some 100 billion in 2005 dollars
The dude who shares jerkoff information with his son and can't be bothered to help the people of this country.
All of the Republicans and those that continue to vote for them are just fuckin' weird.
Hey Chuck, are you finally willing to admit you were wrong all along? Survival of the fittest sounds good, but if you just kinda... look around... you can clearly see all the evidence against that theory, right?
Well, fittest doesn't necessarily mean the smartest.
They are doing this because they know they will be able manipulate their base into saying this was Bidens fault.
Exactly, the government is currently only temporarily funded until Dec 20. This is a nice juicy chunk of funding they can use to claim all sorts of bullshit.
The Republican party continues to eat its own tail, and as usual the citizens are the only ones to suffer any consequences.
And half of those same citizens will vote for them next month!
That's not very Christian of him.
No, but it's very supply-side Jesus of him
Maybe his jerkoff buddy is in Florida without access to the Catholic spy cam bullshit on his phone? He's gotta get the beatin' while the beatin's good?
Did you all read the article? This dude is a slimy, Christo-fascist sack of shit, but the article title makes it seem like him and other Republican dick bags are withholding aid to the hurricane ravaged areas, which isn't apparent in the article:
"'Well, it can wait because, remember, the day before Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida and then went up through the states and wound up in Senator Tillis’s state of North Carolina, Congress appropriated 20 billion additional dollars to FEMA so that they would have the necessary resources to address immediate needs,' Johnson said."
"FEMA officials say they have sufficient resources to respond to the pair of hurricanes until Congress returns, but they also indicated nearly half that money (10b) is already spent."
This seems more like shitty political theater to me, though if it gets magats to somehow not vote for a crazed lunatic I'm all for it.
They'll still vote Republican.
As Jesus always said "Let onto thy son knowledge of all your kinks and ignore those who suffer God's divine action." Assholeians 3:16.
Oh man I hope his constituents absolutely fuck him at the polls.
But they probably won’t because this is Louisiana we’re talking about.
I hope this guy's genitals get infested with the fleas of 1000 camels.
I'm very excited for republicans to then pretend this never happened and blame Biden for not aiding hurricane victims :')
Mike "disaster victims can wait" Johnson.
Devs ever gonna nerf the “Government Doesn’t Work” buff?
Any other situation where you try to stunlock, you just run out of AP. But if you have GDW, stunlock generates enough AP that you basically don’t need any other skills. 100% broken.
They'd rather do nothing because they want to maximize the pain for the people and make their lies resonate more with voters.
Also, it’s kind of hard to vote if the polling places are gone,
I hope this dude drowns
I'd encourage Johnson to recess in the affected areas then.
Send him to live in the disaster zone then.
If it were to get more money for war everyone would be in full session
