Denied federal flood relief, a Maryland town is left on its own

[Zincwarrior]

Maryland has been denied FEMA aid, because I guess they didn't bribe The Leader enough. This is the America you wanted?

Denied federal flood relief, a Maryland town is left on its own​

The residents of Westernport, Maryland, overwhelmingly voted for Trump. But after FEMA denied its aid request, the town feels like the president has turned his back on them.​

Who do they think they are?
Texas?

Not as bad as East Palestine.

It's worse. East Palestine was a disaster caused by a private business.

The American people continue to suffer under Trump.

The state can take care of their municipalities. FEMA takes care of people when the state will not have the resources. MD has the resources.

That's not how it is supposed to work. Maryland is being denied out of spite.

Why did Texas get aid then?

Oh, I wish you'd suffer....lots.

Many of us are having a great time.

Why don't you ask FEMA.

FEMA has been a bigger disaster than the natural ones they seek to relieve.

Is Maryland suddenly broke?

Florida and Texas have more resources than MD

Just put more money into fema.

Allegheny County is in the red part of MD. Like in TX, Trump is shitting on his own supporters.

Is this your way of justifying Trump’s abandonment of a century’s history of Federal disaster aid?

Cheering as your country goes backwards seems to be a Trump thing.

Why did Texas get aid then?

Multiple communities were affected all throughout central Texas, not one small community in MD.

Florida and Texas have more resources than MD

They also received more damage from the hurricanes and flooding.

They have the wealth to repair their own damage.

If Maryland can do it, so can Texas and Florida

What makes Texan communities more important than those in Maryland?

Once again, you are venting your bullshit tank. This was extremely localized damage apparently.
