Summary
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) argued that California does not deserve federal aid for its deadly Los Angeles wildfires unless the state adopts changes.
In a Newsmax interview, Tuberville criticized California leadership, falsely attributing wildfire mismanagement to “inner-city woke policies.”
While he expressed willingness to support some funding, he insisted it be conditional on reforms.
The wildfires have killed 24 people and destroyed thousands of homes, per the Associated Press, intensifying debates on state accountability and federal disaster relief.
You mean a guy from this state?
California needs to stop paying into federal coffers immediately. This illusion that the world’s
10th5th largest economy is a mismanaged shithole needs to be publicly ridiculed.That sounds nice, but how?
California is the FIFTH largest economy in the world.
My mistake – edited above.
And an even better point!
California doesn’t think about AL at all.
Terrorist.
I just hate these assholes so very much. I cannot imagine having everything in my life burned to the ground, literally, and then having these sanctimonious assholes sitting there and doing this performative bullshit just to “own the libs”.
I’m not saying it is right, but if a lot of these assholes start catching bullets, including the broligarch douchebags that are backing them, no one should be surprised.
I’m at the point where I’m questioning if it’s really wrong honestly.
They should be worried more and more people are experiencing the same thought.
What a piece of shit
I think you underestimate him. He’s a whole shit.
He’s months worth of shit left in a never-flushed toilet, infested with maggots and flies.
California should stop sending any federal taxes to the government until they’ve fixed up their state.
Tuberville’s state will have to make do without their portion of California’s huge contribution to the federal budget.
Cali should stop paying federal shit then. See how much your State rakes in from Cali taxes, Tuber. Here’s a hint: its orders of magnitude more than fucking Alabama contributes to the union as a whole.
I’m pretty sure the US has to pay for the privileges having that trash state attached to the southeast US.
Hypothetical alternate reality: Bernie Sanders has won the presidency but hasn’t taken office yet, George W. Bush has just died and there’s just been a massive fire in Texas.
Sanders refuses to fly the flag at half mast for his inauguration, someone from his not-yet-in-power cabinet has told Texas it can fuck off for aid unless it becomes socialist, there’s a publicly published plan for an ultra-left-wing takeover of the country that he swore he’d never heard of until the day after he won the election when he suddenly went “Oh yeah we are doing that lol” and also Bill Gates is living in his house, has a cabinet position and is openly provoking friendly countries with overthrowing their governments.
How chill do we think the MAGA crowd would be in this scenario?
If I’m still alive when Trump finally meets the scales of justice, I’m going to attach a helium balloon to my (currently flagless) flagpole, and put the flag on the balloon. That way it can be more than full mast.
The fucking guy is going to die of old age before he ever sees anything approaching justice.
I haven’t decided how I’m going to celebrate, but a celebration will be had. I’m hoping to hear fireworks for a week after it happens.
I will shit on his grave at some point in my life.
Maybe that’ll be my retirement plan.
California doesnt deserve federal funds to aid in a natural disaster?? Then I dont wanna see SHIT the next time florida goes underwater or texas gets snowed in. Deal with it yourselves or change your ways. 🤷
They got 40 million people in that state and they voting these imbeciles in office, and they continue to do it.
Even in an era in which Republicans have come to be defined by psychological projection and unintentional irony, Tommy Tuberville calling someone else an imbecile stands out.
Alabama barely contributes 6% of what California contributes. Tubervillian needs to sit down.
NEWSMAX: Why should other states be bailing out California for choosing the wrong people to run their state?
The question is just as fucked as the answer, unsurprising from fucking newsmax
Why even have federal government if they won’t help you when you need it?
Yes because if HE ran the state there would be NO revenue to budget ANYTHING! All those delicious state taxes would be given directly to a major corporation who donates the most money to his election campaign. That’s politics! Not some dumb ‘‘helping citizens not die’’ bullshit.
I hate it when woke makes the wind gust 100 mph and carry embers for miles, to the extent that a 100 lane road surrounding a building still wouldn’t have stopped it from burning.
Me: Reads the firts part
Adopting change? Am I about to agree with a traitor to America about bettering the life for people? Reducing police spending maybe even?
Reads the “woke is bad” part
Nevermind, they still hate life and want everyone to suffer. Reliably inhuman.
