It IS in the FAFO thread. Apparently the Trump admin told AR that the damage wasn’t anything state and local folks couldn’t handle.

It’s time for the red states to rely on themselves, no more handouts.

I wonder when hurricane season comes if Florida will be left on its own?

Other Floridians better hope Mara Lago gets hit, that way an emergency with federal funds will surely be provided.

This is what eliminating the federal government looks like.

I am surprised Trump did this to Sanders though.

I'm not surprised. He doesn't care about anyone else. Never has, and at this point in his life, doesn't care at all about anyone else.

Great! Arkansas voted for less government involvement and handouts (e.g Trump). I’m glad they are seeing him fulfill his campaign promises!

Waiting for one of the MAGA posters to say, “Good. That’s what I voted for.”
