WV & KY Flood Victims Still Waiting for FEMA After a Week of Devastation

Feel sorry for these folks. No excuse for this in the US. Elect a clown, better expect a circus.

 

MAGA - you okay with this?

How you gonna spin this one?

Toughening them up to foster independence? Tough love?

 

West Virginia is even a red state, with an R governor, who, even in the face of calamity, is still covering for Trump.

 

Help is on the way

 

They voted against FEMA help. Why should we expect Trump to respond?

 

They didn't know what was in it until they voted for it

 

Blame it on Biden, say " see we told you FEMA is awful", move to cut FEMA.

 

22 dead, waterlogged, freezing..FEMA trickling in, likely severely understaffed, poorly supplied and thoroughly demoralized wondering if they have to list 5 things for king musk and the muskettes lest they lose their heads

poor man froze to death with no aid.

think they could use those tens of millions spent for dt to attend a couple of sporting events and make everyone kiss the ring?

do people in Kentucky not matter or did Beshear piss him off so let them suffer?

Kentucky flooding, extreme weather death toll rises ahead of FEMA tour

The death toll from widespread flooding and extreme weather that battered Kentucky earlier this month has increased to 22, officials announced Monday.

The latest confirmed death is a man who died of hypothermia in Marshall County, located in southwestern Kentucky, Gov. Andy Beshear said during a Monday morning update. The announcement follows six additional deaths that were reported over the weekend, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network.

"This has been a painful, difficult disaster," Beshear said Monday. "There aren't many natural disasters where we lose 22 people. After the widespread flooding in 2022 and the tornadoes in 2021, this is one of the most deadly disasters certainly since I've been governor."

 

Decisions have consequences. Horrible that these people learned that lesson only at the end of their lives.

 

They're very busy right now being concerned with the thread about the border crosser who later committed a crime in Mexico.

And there might be a dangerous transsexual somewhere who needs policing.

 

Give it time. Trump will very likely issue disaster relief.

 

Appears most MAGA posters here are just own the libs voters. I am struggling to see any substantive policy discussion. Hopefully will see it once Congress moves on their budget bill.

 

Maybe, but how is it not declared an emergency yet. Doesn’t this typically happen right away?

Usually the “political” discussions come later when they need disaster relief outside FEMA budget, and it’s sad any American would politicize that in any way whatsoever.

 

Everything is transactional. I’m sure there is an arm twist about Mitch’s votes for Trump’s policy choices and senate support.

 

North Carolina is not a lock. Trump has to dog and pony about that state to rustle up votes.

Kentucky and West Virginia are in the tank. No leverage. Too bad.

"Hold your breath", might get a roll of paper towels thrown that way in March or so.

 

The devastation in West Virginia and Kentucky is "funny"? Who would have thought.
