(Mods: that auto-suggested title is different from the one on on the page itself, but it’s honestly a better headline in terms of the article’s contents. Let me know if i need to change it.)

On Thursday, Rep. Andy Harris told Newsmax that money for wildfire aid isn’t a priority for Republicans because “we just put more money into FEMA before we left for the Christmas holidays,” and the Maryland Republican claimed that Los Angeles “mishandled the fire department so egregiously that they ought to bear some of the burden for that rebuilding.”

    Wasn’t it so people stepped up to help Texas for example, when things got bad in the winter? Pretty sure that’s a republican state so, huh. I thought Religious conservatives would be all ‘love thy neighbor’.

      Haha I’ve never seen Republicans spousing actual Christian values in my lifetime. They will fuck you given the chance.

      That only applies to the ones they look directly in the eyes and learn the names of. If they don’t personally know you, especially if you’re from a blue state, lol get rekt

        Mexican Firefighters came up to help California. I saw on another Lemmy post. So amazing!! The irony that Mexicans are better upstanding people than the Texans, and the Texans act like they’re gods gift to religion.

          you know a lot of Texans are Mexicans, right? edit - it drives me nuts to see entire populations painted with such a broad brush.
