1. "most conservative"

Trump was supposed to hurt other people, not us"

[lame54]

2. Indifference- Not just for California anymore

3. FAFO flags, banners, calling cards. Print 'em up.

Nov 2024. Haven't updated much. I might have to. But most of the FAFO's are still valid.

4. Gov Wes Moore is black - trump doesn't need a "personal beef" to screw Maryland...nt

[BattleRow]

7. Trump has a number of" bete noir " beefs....

[littlemissmartypants]

10. And not all of them are based on skin color. WNC is home to plenty of white MAGA.

11. Hate is an equal opportunity offender.

5. Trump voters will probably blame their Dem governor for not kissing Trump's ring

Rather than the orange a$$hole for denying assistance.

6. Ah, 'America' was a typo - should have been 'Argentina'

Cut the man some slack, easy mistake for anyone to make.

(hopefully not needed but ya never know)

8. I've spent a lot of time in Western Maryland. Many still think the Confederacy is in charge.

The border states all have very conflicting views of who won the Civil War. And racism/tribalism is strong.

9. America Usurped.

12. Is this just going to be the standard now?

That every time we have a Republican president they're going to do everything they can to punish states that didn't vote for them?

[popsdenver]

14. He is punishing the Red States now.....

Ask Sara Huck-a-Pig in Arkansas who did tons for lard ass. She is now governor of that state and requested FEMA, and he laughed her off.

Florida has been incredibly lucky this year to not get hit with several #5 Hurricanes, and come to the ABRUPT realization that Trump wouldn't be sending ANY FEMA assistance....and DeSantis wouldn't be of any help either with any funds from the state of Florida helping them in the slightest.

16. Arkansas is small and poor

Sanders has nothing to offer to Trump personally and we (I actually live in Arkansas) are so small and red we're not at all important politically. Unless Trump is given a reason to care he doesn't. Which has a dark upside - there are a lot of undocumented people in my area and ICE is nowhere to be seen.

17. I would say that the northwest part of the state has some political clout

Every Republican presidential nominee since at least Bush Jr has attended a fundraiser at Pinnacle, which is on the Interstate between Walmart and Tyson's.

13. This is what happens when you let a psychotic news network...

And their lackeys in Congress play favorites with disaster relief like a parent who picks which kid gets to ride shotgun. What a fucking disgrace.

[Crunchy Frog]

15. So they got what they voted for?

Would people think it was more just if he was only withholding aid from blue areas?
