    Not all that surprising. A lot of gov't workers will be losing their jobs soon. Ridiculous that FEMA workers would obey this guy's directive until you realize the Biden-Harris administration ruthlessly punished whistle-blowers to save our democracy. They punished more whistleblowers than all previous administration's combined

    Unreal. Got me to click on that bull**** link.

    This thread is actually informative though; get ready for even more and more BS conspiracy lies from Trump supporters.

    Who would have imagined?

    Let's see, it's been what six or seven weeks since Helene made landfall? Florida's Big Bend, rural Georgia, Western South Carolina, Western North Carolina, East Tennessee ... all heavily Trump territory.
    And in all that time, no one's realized that Trump supporters are being completely ignored? It took the Daily Wire, a far right site that's been known to spread a falsehood or two, to reveal it. You know, because it's got some anonymous sources.

    That was VERY obviously written for safety reasons. We know who it was threatening FEMA workers. The advice was sound.

    Edit: @gatorpa It's not "creative", the language should be very clear as to what the writer was referring to. Read it again, let me know if you need help with the language. Helpful hints: Focus on things like, "frequent breaks and water", "not (sic) one goes anywhere alone", "coconut water is a fast way to replenish electrolytes quickly." Now, does that sound like safety tips or screwing over people with Trump signs?

    Same text as above. Basic reading skills are essential. (Or at least used to be.)

    It's a very good thing that Trump deliberately told lies to stoke up hatred against.....FEMA.... in order to scare up a few votes.

    Who knew there would be consequences?

    Who cared? Not Trump.

    I got a "come on man" rating. Interesting. Are such raters simply totally ignorant on this issue? Well, here ya go - I'll educate you this one time....since you apparently won't do it for yourself.



    Former President Donald Trump has been spreading false claims about the Biden-Harris administration’s response to Hurricane Helene, including the baseless claim that the administration is using Federal Emergency Management Agency money to house illegal migrants. Some of Trump’s allies, including Elon Musk, have been amplifying those claims.

    Those claims are not true. But ironically, Trump attempted something similar to what he falsely claims the Biden/Harris administration is doing when he was president.

    Back in 2019, Trump used money from FEMA’s disaster fund for migrant programs at the southern border. In August 2019, the Trump administration told Congress it intended to shift $271 million in funding from DHS -- including $155 million from FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund -- to pay for detaining and transporting undocumented immigrants and temporary hearing locations for asylum-seekers.

    Trump falsely claims Biden used FEMA funds for migrants -- something Trump did himself

    Death threats and getting shot at will tend to keep one away from certain places.

    I would agree that directions were for safety reasons (in that person’s mind) but that was dumb as hell and the individual should be fired. You can’t convince me that Trump signs are a legitimate safety reason to avoid homes. That’s asinine.

    This thread is a perfect example of the left going from “that didn’t happen ” to “it’s a good thing that happened”. This may be a record for how quickly it shifted.

    Just another example of why most of our govt agencies need to be fumigated...hopefully it will be a top priority in the next couple of years.

    Did you read the article? It was one supervisor, so it would have been in a specific area. Obviously it would have been noticed if all Trump supporters were ignored. However, it is concerning that it took so long for anyone to speak out.

    Now that we know it happened, what do you think about it? What do you think about posters in this thread who are trying to justify it?

    It may not be as presented. Like, maaaaybe the chat is real and this person is a moron. That part doesn’t seem implausible. But i doubt any Trump supporters missed out or we would have heard about it in the weeks since. This is basically just them going around knocking on doors in effected areas like canvasers.

    Still seems dubious. Daily wire broke this story, AND they are the only ones to get a statement? Who from FEMA put out this statement? Why no name attached? Like… where’s the actual statement? This is a “fake newz” site so this type of skepticism is still warranted imo.
