    A FEMA official tried to shut down a medical tent set up by retired special forces that was distributing medicines (insulin, for example). The FEMA lady wanted to know if they had a license to do what they were doing. They didn't and sent her on her way. Per Glenn Beck.

    Sigh. It’s whack a mole. You shoot down a lie and 2 spring in its place.

    Here is ground zero, Hendersonville right now. It’s very organized and nothing like the right wing nuts are posting on social media. They are literally describing the walking dead episodes and an oppressive military stealing. What a joke.

    Live Hendersonville feed. I know it says Asheville, its not.

    The Feds want to shut down an unlicensed medical clinic from distributing medicine that can KILL you if not taken correctly? Given out to people who have no ability to keep it refrigerated?

    Whack a mole. Excellent way to describe it. It's a matter of time before someone claims that Kamala is leading a squadron of armed helicopters coming Apocalypse Now style with Kill Whitey! painted on the sides.
    It's true, it's true! Someone posted it!

    And …… FEMA is doing everything possible to aid the victims of Helene … well so say the leftie minions who claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop was just Russian disinformation, Joe Biden is as mentally sharp as he’s ever been, and Tim Walz is not a liar. Yep, let’s believe those liberal sheep.

    Licensing has a net negative effect on society
    Across all fields including medicine. According to economist Milton Friedman.

    FEMA is fairly incompetent. Especially now, with all the DEI hires
    . Private sector does a better job than the feds most of the time (UPS>>USPS, for example).

    Many insulin products can be stored unrefrigerated for a month or so.

    I have personal experience with the incompetence of FEMA. After 25 years with Orange County I had taken damn near every FEMA class avaliable and had a stack of FEMA certifications. After one of the hurricanes a couple of years before I retired I was excused by my employers of Hurricane recovery duty because FEMA had lost all my certifications therefor I was not eligible for hurricane duty pay. Thankfully I am pretty good at taking tests and I was able to go online and get recertified before the next hurricane. LOL I am pretty good at cheating too. I was able to find answers to a couple of the FEMA exams by googling FEMA test answers.

    Biden arranged the hurricane and the path it took.

    If you love government control you probably like FEMA, the VA and the USPS. Private alternatives seem better to me because they are more efficient.

    So say the republican governors involved in the relief efforts. But you go back to believing Trump who actually did steal from FEMA, sheep.

    Are we going to ever find out why the only politicians that voted against additional FEMA funding before Helene were Republicans?

    Definitely. Makes me wonder if MAGAts actually believe that $157 million spent internationally would affect the FEMA funding their representatives voted against.

    But then MAGAts will believe anything, as long as it let's them be angry and hateful....
