    It's almost like every single claim they make is wrong.

    FEMA is a joke. Back before I retired I had to have FEMA certification in order to get paid FEMA funds during a disaster. A computer glitch at the FEMA headquarters wiped out all my FEMA certifications. My boss said I had to retake all the FEMA tests or I would be taken off the county's emergency management team. I panicked because I had to retake about 8 different certification tests. I googled FEMA test answers and wow there they were answers to all the tests. The folks running FEMA ain't too bright.

    Again, this apparently was not FEMA disaster money. This was money specifically approved by Congress for this purpose. FEMA was just the agency whose job it was to spend the money on what it was approved for.

    It doesn't seem like you are terribly concerned with factual accuracy of what they are actually doing, considering the many factual errors that you haven't changed.

    Since FEMA was doing exactly what the Republican Congress had directed the funds for, it's pathetic that now people's lives/careers are potentially ruined because of it. Funny is that you are more concerned with the Pub Congress spending money forcing you to mistakenly rage against FEMA instead.

    Right... We're supposed to believe the same guy that lied about being good at video games when in reality he ended up paying people to boost his account

    Oh now I understand why conservatives have such a hard time with board rules, just saying something is "proof" of a claim

    Are you 100% certain about that? Bet a 1 year hiatus from too hot on that? Or just more BS with no basis in reality? Bet?

    Poster should note that Allsides has a fatal flaw, though one that likely appeals to Pubs... it does not account at all for factual content . Since everyone understands that facts are seemingly always leaning to left and alternative facts are a a unique creature of the right, then of course we find Politifact would be leaning a bit left.
