Homeland secretary Mayorkas said 3 months ago that FEMA was "tremendously prepared" for the hurricane season.
After the hurricane Mayorkas said FEMA is out of money and can't make it through the season" and "We do not have the funds".
Oh, this the Trumper you and your bullshit is talking about.

But that doesn't fit with his narrative. Just take Trumps lies as gospel. I mean, why would he lie?

Republicans are playing a dangerous game politicising these hurricanes. It's a topic most people in Florida, Georgia and Texas will be fairly clued up on. And you can guarantee that Trump will get on the wrong side of the argument and the facts.Misinformation has surged following Hurricane Helene. Here's a fact check.

The one that is just kicking off looks like a bad one.
FEMAs budget expired in September. They're currently operating on temporary funding until congress approves a new budget.

My post is a quote directly from Mayorkas. Not Trump, not GOP. My post does NOT factor in anything they say.
My post is factual about an actual "existential threat" to Human life. And yet you can't help but skew your point to be about 'MAGA'.
You've been twisted into a pretzel, attacking anything you deem a threat.

You're just plain stupid dismissing Mayorkas' own words.

Wouldn't you think what a fuck up it is to run out of funds in the middle of hurricane season?? You would think someone would note they may need more funding, than hedge their bets on it not being devastating.
But, yeah, they collectively shrug their shoulders about it.
The funding is negotiated by Congress, currently under Republican control. Biden has asked that they return and authorise more money but the speaker has so far chosen not to.
Again, by the accounts of the people on the ground are that everything that has been asked for has been received. Funding has come from numerous sources and there will be plenty more to come.
