So, what do the MAGA crowd think if Trump's FEMA denying aid to North Carolina?

You know, the shit he said Biden did...

Considering that there were notable articles that Biden's FEMA spent hundreds of millions supporting illegal immigrants in the same year they were having relief shortages, that is rich to accuse Trump's FEMA of not having money for disaster relief. In this article Biden's FEMA response is not to deny the accusations but to claim that it still had enough money for disaster relief purposes, as if they could predict the future and know how much is needed.

However, this claim about Trump's FEMA denying funds appears to be false. FEMA has rejected the 100% proposals because they give a sizable portion and expect the state to pay the rest.

From the Politifact article linked above:

Another quote from the article states:

In a statement to PolitiFact NC, FEMA’s press office said that the agency normally covers 75% of the cost — but will continue paying for 90% of debris removal.
The norm is to pay 75%, and it is a special exception that they are paying 90%.

"I've always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that's proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!"

Hasn't Tom always said that Russia doesn't want all of Ukraine? Or am I misremembering?

If Russia wanted Ukraine it would have had it in the early stages of the war. Russia wants to be ethical about it and so it is only taking the breakaway regions. It's not a coincidence that its current territories are the areas which wanted to break away.

Did they vote to secede before or after Russia invaded?

That doesn't track with their botched attempt at Kyiv.

The disputed territories are in the southeast, which explains why Russia attacked from the southeast, but they simultaneously also invaded from northeast and from the northwest. Launching from Belarus, russian forces advanced directly south; west of the Dniepro and hundreds of kilometers from their ethical objective. Russian paratroops took the Antonov airport at Hostomel, roughly 30 km northwest of Kyiv.

The only reason they are not there now is entirely down to military and logistical incompetence. Within days, the Ukrainians handed their asses to them in a doggie-bag.

Russia is mobilizing and attacking areas beyond the breakaway regions to take out military assets, supply lines, or related infrastructure its opponent relies on such as power stations. They are only attempting to occupy it in the imaginations of leftists.

If Russia wanted Kiev to be a hole in the ground, it would be a hole in the ground, even with non-nuclear munitions. There are missiles which have no defense. Instead, Russia has been treating Ukraine with kiddie gloves. Putin knows that the government which took over Ukraine in 2004/2005 by force was an illegitimate CIA-backed coup. Prior to that Ukraine was a close ally of Russia, even entrusted for a time with nuclear weapons from the Soviet Union.

What has been happening is an elaborate war game between super powers. Ukraine is the victim, and its people never wanted its illegitimate government or to be involved in any of this However, as valiantly as Russia has tried to contain the damage in the face of innumerable dirty tricks like staging military assets in empty schools for propaganda purposes, it may be too late and this may soon go too far. Trump told us that he is going to end the war and has finally released his plan.

Trump is clearly not doing it to give Ukraine advantage, given his recent criticism of Zelensky and Ukraine. Once Ukraine starts launching long range missiles into Russia, that's it. The kiddie gloves will come off and Ukraine will be a wasteland.

Odd that the war has taken 3 years so far if Russia was being nice, throwing wave after wave of men to die when they could have ended it quickly. And odd that they threw their old crap in first.

And odd that a people who despirately want to be Russian are fighting so hard to stop them. Weird.

And why would Russia stop now? Ukraine has been shooting missiles into Russia and blowing up military bases already. Surely they'd have wiped out Ukrainian resistance by now with their superior, unstoppable, missiles... Right?

Man... You're trying too hard.

Just out of curiosity, wasn't Trump supposed to get tougher with drug dealers?

Quote from: https://wbhm.org/npr-story/trump-pardons-drug-kingpins-even-as-he-escalates-u-s-drug-war-rhetoric/

President Donald Trump has long called for escalating the U.S. drug war against Mexican cartels and wants tougher penalties for dealers selling fentanyl and other street drugs in American communities. “I am ready for it, the death penalty, if you deal drugs,” Trump said, during a meeting with state governors in February, where he said dealers are too often treated with a “slap on the wrist.”

But despite his tough rhetoric, Trump has sparked controversy by pardoning a growing number of convicted drug dealers, including this week’s move to grant clemency to Larry Hoover, age 74, who was serving multiple life sentences in federal prison for crimes linked to his role leading the Chicago-based Gangster Disciples.

I think everyone, including Trump, realizes prohibition does not work.

Were you actually hoping for Trump to deny Hoover federal clemency and seek to retry him in hopes for a death penalty sentence?

Larry Hoover had but one drug charge I think.

"Trump considering selling his Tesla and not interested in talking to Musk yet after public row"

Apparently Trump also said that Musk is a poo poo pants and that he won't be inviting him to his birthday party.

Musk inferred that Trump was an Epstein customer.
Trump is gonna cancel spaceX contracts.
