The kneejerk would be funny if it wasn't so chillingly telling of the success of the assault on reality.

3000 Americans dead as a result of Hurricane Maria

Trump "great success"

For context, that's more than died in the twin towers.

Florence currently off the coast of the Carolinas in endangering a lot more white people. Trump " we are as ready as anyone has ever been"

Sad
Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

Of course the GOP don't believe in climate change either

Its off the table in the southeastern states in terms of being considered for future planning for floods and so on.

what should he say about the coming hurricane?

omochain

He already has said all the right things about this hurricane, taking the lead of Governors McMaster and Cooper. Now he should follow up by doing the right thing and fund FEMA so they can do their job properly. Maybe taking some money back from ICE to rebuild Puerto Rico would be a good start.

Fake news Media on maximum outrage alert over the $10 M intra agency transfer of funds (which happens all the time). 

Im not a whiz at math, but by my calculations a grand total of 6/100 of ONE PERCENT of FEMAs $15,000,000,000 budget was trandferred to ICE. (correct me if im worng....I dont have a calculator)

I watched Joe and Mika on MSNBC lose their shit over this earlier today and its been all over the news.

I had to do my own research to find out that such transfers are actually commonplace within Governmental Agencies, and I also had to do my own research to find out what FEMAs budget is relative to the $10,000,000 transferred


Is it any wonder people have given up believing a fvckin word they hear on TV

Really?

Here is an NPR article that mentions the total FEMA budget.

Here is a CNN article that mentions the "reprogramming" of funding that has happened between different DHS departments over multiple years.

Trump this morning calling the 3K death toll from Puerto Rico a Democratic hoax.

There are no words for what a disgusting, contemptible, sorry excuse for a human being he is.

Your words not mine.

I would say it's incomplete information, lacking any context or perspective which is being used to drive a false narrative.


I imagine such transfers also took place under the Obama Administration as it seems to be a common practise. I dont remember seeing any headline and fomenting about that
