Not enough fema funds for Asheville ?

BTW, isn't Asheville a liberal bastion in NC?

 

Going to turn all those mountain communities over to migrants ... Of course he’s wrong. geez

 

So the "money" that went to immigrants was funded by Congress. And who controls Congress? Oh, that's right, the GOP.


Replying to the rumor that funding for FEMA disaster response had been "diverted to support international efforts or border related issues," the government agency said on its specially dedicated fact check page: "This is false. No money is being diverted from disaster response needs. FEMA's disaster response efforts and individual assistance is funded through the Disaster Relief Fund, which is a dedicated fund for disaster efforts. Disaster Relief Fund money has not been diverted to other, non-disaster related efforts."

"Maybe, just maybe, the Biden-Harris Administration should stop diverting FEMA funds—meant to help AMERICANS during disaster recovery—to facilitate mass-paroling illegal migrants into the country," Crenshaw posted on X.

A Department for Homeland Security spokesperson told Newsweek: "These claims are completely false. As Secretary Mayorkas said, FEMA has the necessary resources to meet the immediate needs associated with Hurricane Helene and other disasters."

"The Shelter and Services Program (SSP) is a completely separate, appropriated grant program that was authorized and funded by Congress and is not associated in any way with FEMA's disaster-related authorities or funding streams."


FEMA responds to accusations money spent on migrants

 

"they"

 

Asheville is a great town. Unfortunately like all super cool hip progressive towns it's become incredibly expensive to live there

 

I'd say "they" should zap her with a bolt of lightning. But she probably doesn't conduct electricity due to a lack of brain power

 

It is. Colleges, northern transplants, naturists that look more at home in Seattle. However the 11th district is 55/45 republican as it adds 17 rural counties to Asheville to make a district. Its an Oasis. Wheelchair aided and orgy narc Madison Hawthorne was the rep who lost in the primary.

 

Yes very liberal. Its always had a rad bohemian vibe to it. I had some friends who lived there for college and I would visit them from VA often. Great memories of that town.

 

What lies? The migrant crisis that the Biden administration created is depleting our country of its resources. To say differently is beyond ignorant.

We are not working or nothing.

 

The GOP lead House which the Speaker won't bring back from vacation to address funding could authorize more money for Helene victims. However right before Helene, many of them voted against hurricane relief funds.

 

$750 in immediate relief for emergency supplies - not the totality of what they'll get for disaster relief. Of course, when those people do get the additional disaster relief you'll have moved on to some other conspiracy and will no longer care.

 

Project 2025 eliminates both the NOAA and FEMA, FYI.

 

This was parody, yes?

 

Ok, poster having a conversation with itself = def parody. Thanks for the laughs, I guess.

 

FEMA and Biden getting in the way

 

I don’t like that it really isn’t a walkable town. I guess a bike would let you get around but it’s not pedestrian friendly.

 

Exactly. $750 immediate for food, water, emergency supplies. Then they can apply for further benefits just like they do in every disaster. FEMA doesn't drive down the street throwing cash out the window. You have to apply for it .
It's really a shame that as so many Americans are coping with this huge disaster, you've got the usual rightwingers spreading misinformation simply to get people upset. That's it. Just to get people upset.

So Republicans are now complaining that government handouts are too small?
