Has someone explained to them that sometimes sacrifices have to be made in order to stop that trans girl in Minnesota from playing volleyball? They just need to see the bigger picture.
Pick themselves up by the bootstraps buttercup.
With all that money not taxed and spent on other countries and college and medical care, I'm sure they can just buy themselves new homes.
Yet they'll head out and vote Republican every time.
They'll completely forget by the time November rolls around. They may couch surfing with all of their possessions destroyed, but they'll still find a reason to be mad at the libs
Godamn Jewish tornados
Can't wait for gay hurricane season. Lots of bootstraps will be pulled. Well, at least the leopards will be properly fed.
They're still sending those job stealing brown people to the gulag, still a win. Gonna make America great again any day now...
Just like all that money Reagan promised would trickle-down will fill their pockets any day now.
Can’t afford bootstraps? Thoughts and prayers.
Bullshit. They'll all vote bright red, every time.
Lol, you thought they meant you. They mean billionaires first.
REAL Americans just buy a new mansion when one falls down. If you can't do that, you're just a mooch looking for a handout!
They learning what it means to only care about the "Me" in America.
I know President Trump said that 'America First, we're gonna help our American folks first,' but we haven't seen the federal folks down here," Tylertown, Mississippi resident Bobby McGinnis.
Have you not been listening?
Maybe if they ate a little less avocado toast and put in some elbow grease, they'd pull themselves up by the bootstraps and gain self-sufficiency. Must be the brown people holding them back.
The pending disaster request from Mississippi comes at the same time FEMA has underwent significant changes in its leadership.
There it is: has + simple past
...has UNDERGONE... Won't someone think of the past participles?!
An AI would've gotten it right
Thank you for your service!

More like Png but the checkers are fake mwhahaha.
Womp womp... the only emergencies with the Trump administration are declaring fake wars against non-state actors, the non-existent drug trafficking spree from Canada used to impose tariffs, and that a coal power plant needs to keep operating because the air would be too clean otherwise. Helping farmers and other common people? That's a problem for another day.
"I know President Trump said that 'America First, we're gonna help our American folks first,' but we haven't seen the federal folks down here," Tylertown, Mississippi resident Bobby McGinnis told PBS.
“I don’t know what you got to do or what you got to have to be able to be declared for a federal disaster area because this is pretty bad,” Tylertown resident Brian Lowery said. “We can’t help you because, whatever, we’re waiting on a letter; we’re waiting on somebody to sign his name. You know, all that. I’m just over it.”
The pending disaster request from Mississippi comes at the same time FEMA has underwent significant changes in its leadership. Former acting FEMA administrator Cameron Hamilton was fired after he publicly disagreed with Trump on his desire to shut down the agency, and a recent internal presentation determined that FEMA was "not ready" to assist with the upcoming 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season, which officially begins on June 1.
Mississippi isn't the only ruby-red state that has been left in the lurch by the Trump administration. Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) also applied for federal assistance after tornadoes tore through her state this spring, though FEMA denied both her request and her appeal of that rejection. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) also used his allotted time for questioning during a recent Senate testimony by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to beg her to send aid to Missouri after the Show Me State experienced its own spate of deadly tornadoes.
“I don’t know what you got to do or what you got to have to be able to be declared for a federal disaster area because this is pretty bad,” Tylertown resident Brian Lowery said. “We can’t help you because, whatever, we’re waiting on a letter; we’re waiting on somebody to sign his name. You know, all that. I’m just over it.”
This dude is primed to be convinced that all the bureaucracy getting in his way is the fault of the Shadow Democrats and Mecha Biden.
Lmao Mecha Biden
That would be an amazing anime
First 32-foot-tall Biden, now Mecha Biden. WTF is going on in my Lemmy threads today?
Trump must have whispered the word “Rich” before “America First”.
They're asking for handouts?
He can be over it all he wants and the weather is not going to give one single shit.
Trump wants FEMA gone, I’m willing to bet that organization is in the process of getting shut down, they’re just keeping it on the down-low.
I've noticed a lot of them think that tornadoes are being sent by "DNC billionaires" to legitimize "leftist climate change". They think that solar geo engineering is the cause. Anything to not admit climate change is making severe weather more frequent and more intense.
You can’t fix stupid.
You can propagandize it real good tho
This is the only time when the media should quote morons, not before elections.
If it rips up a red state, is it really a disaster?
Hope it hurts.
