All Things Politics Thread

Again, might want to fact check this. Lot's of random people making claims like this but lots of republican governors of these states appreciative of the federal response.

I have to mightily disagree with this. The alphabet soup propaganda arm of the Democratic party is ignoring or either outright lying. The thousands of videos on social media aren't all lies.
Go visit pages like Patriot Dad and The Older Millennial. There is also a realtor in Asheville that is very credible. Another one who owns Carolina Outdoor Adventures. Check out the video of an unmarked Blackhawk rotor washing a private supply station. I've seen it from three different perspectives. There was no landing area and people were waiving him off. How about the report issued by the Office of the Inspector General regarding FEMA's available funds back in August. There are several more instances that put the Federal government and this administration in a bad light and there is no need for fact checking by none other than yourself. The research is easy.

ahhh social media is your source. Got it. I'll take word from official sources anyday, especially when it includes bipartisan politicians saying the same thing. The republican governers of these states have been appreciative and complimentary of the response.

Read the link about FEMA funding I shared earlier. FEMA has a relatively small baseline budget that gets increased in response to disasters. That is why they were stating they were underfunded at that time. Congress needs to get together and approve additional funds - that is how the Disaster Relief Fund functions.

Social Media is the new source of information. It has adapted to combat the lies of the ABC's of the Democratic Party. It started with they lied about Nick Sandmann. Then they fabricated video when they claimed Trump called all Mexicans rapists and murderers. You need to find the original complete video. It is out there. I watched it all live. Google has since tried to bury it, but you can find it if you try hard enough.
BTW are you willing to call over 1000 posters liars?

Social media is also the new source of misinformation. Anyone can say anything without any editorial oversight, no legitimate sourcing, just people spouting nonsense into a cell phone.

I do agree with you that the most important thing if you hear or see something that seems newsworthy, go find the original videos, articles, etc to see if what is being shared is legit or not.

And yes, I definitely have no problems calling 1000 posters liars. We have seen it before and will we see it again.

Liz Cheney a conservative????? LOL

 

[Baron]

The House, in the continuing resolution, allocated $20B for FEMA.
Why has FEMA sat on millions of dollars in frozen funds for 16 years now? I wonder what the interest is on that. This is per the Office of the Inspector General DHS.
BTW you obviously have a very low opinion of you're fellow citizens. The alphabet soup propaganda wings of the Democrat party have been caught in so many lies and the signs of bias are undeniable.

 

[BWilk55]

Yes... actually not most but the vocal minority for sure. And it is admittedly on both sides of the political spectrum.

As for frozen funds, I don't know all the specifics but my understanding is that funds labeled for use for one emergency can only be used for that specific emergency. You can't just shift it around to other emergencies that arise.

I live in New Orleans and I know there was a push to use up all the FEMA money allocated to the city after Katrina before 10 years had passed

You are a Doctor and live in an urban center. That makes you a liberal/progressive leaning person. I am a Rancher/Farmer/Hunter/Conservative land owner. We will never agree. When your socialism comes to take my land, I will fight and I will die. Hopefully I take a mercenary or two with me. If Trump was going to eliminate the Elections he already would have done so four years ago. That stupidity has sailed.

Trump did attempt to eliminate the election 4 years ago if you don't recall. You are fearful of hypothetical threats that don't exist (who is trying to take your land?). I prefer looking at the concrete threats in front of us - that being a sitting president refusing to acknowledge the outcome of an election and attempting to undermine the democratic election process. He will try it again this year as well after he loses, fortunately he won't have the power of the presidency to attempt the coup this time around.

 

[UT1983]

Lots of crap and questionable actions taking place counting votes last election. Trump and half of America had right to question WTF was going on.

And at the end of the day, nothing came of any of it. No reason to believe there was any widespread election interference or falsified votes. Yet, Trump continued denying the results up to January 6th and still to this day.

And so does Hillary. Can you calculate the odds of the Biden bump that occurred in four states at about the same time? They are astronomical. The tossing of poll watchers and cardboarding the windows. Lot's of irregularities. The SCOTUS was afraid the left would burn down more cities like they did during the summer of love if they looked into the election. The ruling that the states that sued concerning the election had no standing was bogus as hell. Why did so many states sue...hmm.

I just can't wrap my head around the idea that Kamala Harris is a viable leader. Her vapid word salads should discourage everyone from voting for her. Do you want higher taxes? New taxes such as unrealized gains? Do you want the border to stay wide open? Have you seen the numbers on how many convicted felons were released into the country? If you vote for Harris you obviously hate this country.

People who comment on Kamala's speaking abilities and ignore Trump's is wild. He invented this idea of "the weave" to explain his rambling.

I don't have 1 million dollars in income so am not personally concerned with unrealized gains being taxed.

There are fewer border crossings under Biden than there were Trump.

And the number of felons released into the country was a cumulative number that included decades of immigrants. I imagine your favorite news sources presented the number as occurring only during the Biden presidency.

 

[UT1983]

If you honesty believe there were more illegal border crossings under Thump than Biden then One: That explains why you support Harris, and Two: can’t see how it possible to have an intelligent dialogue because your thinking simply doesn’t compute with me.

But true to classic leftist thinking, class envy is alive and well. Screw the rich cause I ain’t one.

It's not income, it's assets.

Are you serious? The only reason you could possibly spout this is because Biden allowed asylum to every one who was caught illegally entering this country. It's lying with numbers. There is a book regarding this practice. The power of the dark side is strong in you. You still haven't addressed Kamala's shortcomings. TDS have your tongue?

Baron is right, its 100 million in assets, not income. About 10,000 Americans would be impacted
