    Here’s my prediction: after Helene fucks up half of Florida, Biden will sign a high relief package for the state.

    DeSantis will turn it down and let his citizens suffer for party politics

      I predict he’ll take it, distribute it to his friends who do nothing for the people, and still blame Biden anyways, which his supporters will believe.

      DeSantis will accept the money, then use it to cut the state’s taxes. Biden will threaten to suspend payment, on the grounds that it is misappropriation of funds. DeSantis will then insist Biden is trying to unconstitutionally raise Florida’s taxes in the wake of a lethal hurricane. He will then claim FEMA agents are trying to turn people Transgender.

      You left out the part where republicans in the state blame Biden/Woke Liberals for not doing anything.

      It’s always the same with red states. They bitch and moan about how every state has disasters, and how they are prepared and they shouldn’t have to pay for states where the people just have to much melanin don’t work as hard…

      And then they get hammered by a hurricane, or a little bit of cold weather (looking at you Texas) and suddenly it’s “we don’t have any money left, we need to take care of each other, our fellow countrymen are suffering”. It’s be nice to find a way to just royally fuck those politicians just once…
