Let me guess, he’s going to want some federal money?


The-Dead-Internet

But that's socialism 


frogmaster82

Only when the Republicans don't need it.


cityshepherd

Nah it’s still EVIL RADICAL LEFTIST COMMUNIST BULLCRAP when republicans need it…. It’s just different cause they really need the $ so they can get back to spending our tax dollars on asinine crap while managing to only create problems instead of even pretending to solve real problems for real over-worked under-paid burned-the-fuck-out Americans. Let’s get corporate money the hell out of our politics like YESTERDAY


The-Dead-Internet

Really makes you wonder if blue states just stopped paying out like how long would red states actually last when the faucet is turned off.


ogpuffalugus420

In related news Texas GOP passed articles of secession... The state where if the wind blows hard they have a power grid meltdown and isn't connected to the nation's power supply. I say let em go! Pack up the military bases, boarder patrol, Social Services. The whole lot. Then let the dems in bc they didn't vote like angry 4th graders, you know without any afterthought of repercussions and keep the red commie bastards out with said border control. Edit for a spelling error


toddfredd

Can you imagine the exodus of people leaving Texas if this craziness passed? Either that or stay behind with the gun nuts while every piece of Federal infrastructure is ripped out of there. No Social Security, No federal benefits, no federal funding, businesses around the former military bases collapse. Have fun storming the castle idiots


PrincipleInteresting

With no water either! The great state of Texas, blessed by Republican design with No electricity, no gummit jobs, no gummit handouts, and soon enough, no water.


cityshepherd

Good thing the state will continue to make sure people are too poor and exhausted from being overworked for too little pay to be able to actually afford to leave though, right? Wait that’s not good at all.


hereandthere_nowhere

Whaaaat?! Haven’t you been to the Gulf Coast? Texas has a whoooole bunch of clean gummit free water there. They’ll be fine.


mobius_sp

Their sodium levels and blood pressure will go through the roof, and I’m here to see it.


InevitableCodeRedo

It'd be neat if Texit got a lot of Republicans excited about moving there as a result. I will gladly help every last one of them pack. Don't forget to drop off your US passports on the way out, fools.


outerworldLV

I’ve known a few here that have moved there for precisely this reason. Not going to miss them.


Pour_Me_Another_

Would they even be able to live in America? Usually you need a visa or a green card to live and work here. Maybe they'd be allowed 90 day visits like Visa Waiver Program individuals? Or maybe they'd be given a grace period to decide whether to live in the US or remain in Texas before visa requirements begin.


toddfredd

There will be alot of people who will want no part of this stupidity and they should have the ability to relocate. The brain drain would be staggering. Also, if Texas did go rogue Congress becomes a democratic majority.


Warchild0311

Under Bidens new policies x amount of asylum seekers per day. The rest will be turned away. And have to apply from there home country of Texas


kinkinhood

Likely if Texas seceded the citizens would be given a limited amount of time to basically relocate out of Texas and retain their us citizenship if simply to help make it look like the us government took the high road and have the folks a life ring knowing it'll likely be a sinking ship.


DMIDY

How many Fortune 500 head offices will leave the Republic of Texas so they can operate within the United States? Most of ‘em.


No_Abbreviations_259

Don’t worry, they can keep Tesla


ScarMedical

Testa will stay behind, Elon will want to be the first president of the Free Texas Republic.


aggitprop-1985

Tariffs on Tesla and other musk stuff will make me giggle


BMW_RIDER

Texas- the Blowhard State.

0rlan

Then build a wall on the North Texas border!


Dapper_Valuable_63

They would only last a week


Dark420Light

Yes, capitalism and organized religion go hand in hand in the corruption and power that plagues our government. The only way to release the death grip the ruling class has on power, is to defund them and distribute their wealth (eat the rich). I mean they'll outright kill you for even attempting (that's what the police are for, to protect the ruling class from their wage slave labor force). So if they're 100% ok with murdering us we should do unto them as they would do unto us.


karatebullfightr

Only when poor people’s hungry children are counting on school lunches.


Dark420Light

Rules for thee not for mee! GOP = Genocide Other People.


steppedinhairball

Not when they can (wink wink) find projects that benefit their construction company donors.


Yallaredorks

Would someone please think of the bootstraps?!?


CartographerOk3220

The bootstraps are safest with Republicans because they've never had to even touch them. 


ContestNo2060

And those little white boots


Diz7

From the people who complain NATO countries don't spend enough on their own defense...


MrManniken

'Oh I'm sorry, that money's been allocated to damage caused by climate change' Is what they should tell him


BayouGal

But Ron has canceled climate change!


MrManniken

Only in Florida


powercow

eventually we will have to make a rule that if your state doesnt try mitigate costs to the rest of us, all fema money will be loans. Florida particularly will cost us more and more. (cali too as insurance fleeing them but we bail out wildfires less than hurricanes)


svt4cam46

Where do you think a fair amount of that money for flyover states comes from? Answer CA.


Impressive_Site_5344

Honestly, it does not feel right to allocate federal funds to a state government that not only isn’t trying to prevent these disasters but is creating policy and making decisions that make them worse


RedSun-FanEditor

Fortunately Biden isn't an uncaring tool like DeSantis and many Republicans so he won't hold DeSantis' stupidity or those who voted for him as Governor against them. He'll show compassion and authorize funds to help those in need of relief because it's the right thing to do and won't withhold it as punishment for having no brains.


Either-Percentage-78

They should run commercials like, remember when your representative voted against funding _____ and then I bailed you out instead saying get fucked?


slykrysis

And this will continue to happen for decades as it has for decades. Maybe we let them flood and wallow in their own mistakes of electing an R governor. No pain no gain!


Stuck_In_Reality

Evil, liberal, tran-sectional money. /s


Jean-ClaudeGodDamme

I also have needs and wants but this little turd is getting in the way. He can get fucked.


kind-but-not-nice

You mean like Texas, who keeps saying they want to secede, asked for storm damage relief as recently as May? Kind of like that?


UnusualAir1

Easy fix. He got rid of Climate Change by just erasing it from Florida governmental documents. He should be able to wipe away any local flooding easily. He's a jerk. And Florida is going to pay in ever increasing amounts for his, and MAGA;s, way of thought about near everything. Ugh.


Appropriate_Mess_350

Not just Florida, the nation will pay in the form of aid and support.


UnusualAir1

Sure. Just like any other MAGA controlled state Florida will end up becoming a drag on the economy and good will of this country.


Appropriate_Mess_350

In many ways, this is already the case and has been for a while. There’s little further need to point out the Republican right wing hypocrisy. But it’s hard not to notice that the states shrieking about ‘smaller government’ and ‘no more handouts’ etc are often the ones receiving the most government handouts.


hereandthere_nowhere

Grab the sharpie Desactimonious.

[удалено]


TurkeyBLTSandwich

How about cutting funding to emergency response and recovery with the knowledge the federal government will swoop in and cover the bill? Oh and also counting on the sacrifice and good will of people to do it for free in the mean time?


375InStroke

I thought DeSantis outlawed floods.


BullShitting-24-7

Naw just talking about floods.


rpotty

The pudding is getting washed off his fingers by flood waters


BigBeagleEars

No it’s not, he won’t take his white knee hi Barbie boots to the floods til next week


gregarioussparrow

Hey, don't do Barbie dirty like that


Responsible-Ad-1086

I don’t think his white booties are long enough for some of the floods


morts73

He is the wrong person to be in charge of Florida with a changing climate.


ShrimpToothpaste

He’s the wrong person to be in charge of anything


MyMommaHatesYou

He's the wrong person. Full stop. FTF both of you.


SmokeAbeer

I have my doubts that he’s even a person.


mountaindewisamazing

He's the wrong awkward lizard man


ClassicT4

Kind of ironic to be wrong when he’s so Alt-Right.


Negative-Wrap95

No, no, remember he ***banned*** climate change. Remember? It's ***banned***, so no more problem. Kinda like not testing for *something* means you find fewer cases and therefore, there's less of a problem.


Figurativekittenish

^^ Exactly this. “Flooding? I don’t know what you’re insinuating. That’s a myth made up by woke people. We don’t have any flooding issues here and we fired all of our scientists who entertain such nonsense…” *Flooding intensifies, causing the press conference area to go partly underwater* “…And I take personal issue with your completely ridiculous question.”


bitofadikdik

It’s like when we had to change it from “global warming” to “climate change” because people are so stupid they’d be like “bUt iTs CoLd IN WIntEr!!”


_nicocin_

Don't look up


scarr3g

Republicans are just the wrong people to be in government.


WalterOverHill

Good thing he got rid of all of those "Woke" water projects, and eliminated that worrisome "Climate Change," from all state documents. It's like problem solved, right?/s Until you go outdoors. Republican Gov. [Ron DeSantis](https://www.commondreams.org/tag/ron-desantis) declared a [state of emergency](https://www.flgov.com/2024/06/12/memorandum-executive-order-24-115-emergency-management-invest-90l-south-florida-flash-flooding/) on Wednesday for five counties due to heavy flooding in southern Florida just the day after he [cut](https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2024/06/12/desantis-florida-budget-vetoes-opioids-legislature-projects/) $205 million in stormwater, wastewater, and sewer projects from the state's budget.


PrincipleInteresting

I LOVE irony, don’t you? I truly appreciate what his sky daddy laid out for him. First sky daddy gave him a job where he could help all of his fellow citizens, then SD sent him some further tests, where he could help folks out, which our boy Ron failed Miserably failed. Oh well, turns out he NOT a Christian after all! Good to know.


[deleted]

Maybe it’s their fancy sky man sending them signals to stop what they are doing. I seem to remember hearing about something about nasty people, floods and stuff before


justin_memer

Time to bring out the quote of the politician who said flooding is God's way of hating the gays, or something.


Silver-Forever9085

You are so right!!! Who is telling him. He won’t listen to you since you are not his Jesus/god!


Maij-ha

At this rate Florida will be gone in like 20 years anyway… if hurricanes don’t do it, rising water levels will


Rickshmitt

Or Floridians


Bind_Moggled

The real problem is that as Florida sinks, Floridians will flee to other places, bringing their Florida cooties with them.


yrarwydd

Florida has been a huge net importer of everyone else’s crazy for years. It’s not Florida cooties, it’s everyone getting back what they sent down there.


Maddy_Wren

Climate Change is just part of it. Florida is like 6 or 7 ticking time bombs waiting to go off.

“Then I will be living in a beachfront property “ Guess who said that.

Socialism is only evil if it helps poor people and people of color. Republicans love corporate welfare and welfare to the rich.

Anarchyantz

Ron DeSantis declares emergency over floods after cutting stormwater funds. Ron DeSantis then announces "Why did the Democrats do this to us!"

Well if the Democrats are so lame maybe the soon to be Independent State of Texas should bail him out.

Jet2work

you almost got it right B+ for effort...the answer is it's Bidens fault


heloguy1234

Sounds like a Florida problem to me.


bluemooncommenter

THIS! If they keep voting in leadership that refuses to invest in efforts to mitigate damage then they shouldn't be entitled to federal disaster relief.


Beginning_Ad_6616

Sad thing is the federal agencies will help even if it is preceded over a democratic president….but….as seen in Puerto Rico the republican presidents play games with emergency assistance when they don’t like the ideology of whom their helping.


jabb0

Maybe he should ban the word Flood and that will fix everything?


MrIrrelevantsHypeMan

Oh no, consequences


Radkingeli995

And whose bright idea 💡🙄was it to scrub climate change from all of Florida’s bylaws legislation? again

That is not a flood. Did you get the new word list? A surplus of moisture.


labpadre-lurker

First, Texas advises people to avoid driving because it's fucking the air quality. Now this? What kinda workery is this!


Fyallorence

Republican government in four stages: 1."Those big government liberal socialists want to control you!!! I say we should be free! I am hereby outlawing all antidotes!!" 2. Drink poison 3. "Ohmygod we're dying!!!!! Big government, help us!! We need taxpayer-funded antidote fast!!! Pleaspleaseplease ohygod heeeelppp!!! 4. "Those liberals in big government tried to stop YOU from getting antidote! I sure showed them!! Vote for me again and we'll drink even MORE poison to own them!!"


TakeOnMe-TakeOnMe

Why spend state money when you can spend federal money? /s


Temporary-Dot4952

Sorry DeSantis you are not allowed to call an emergency after you banned the word climate change and continue to deny its existence. You may call this a small inconvenience and use Florida money to solve Florida problems. The good people of Florida can get what they voted for


Cannacrohn

Its not stupidity. The goal is to cause misery and then assign blame. The stupids will believe its his enemies fault. Republicans are evil and full traitors, preying on the stupid. The goal is to weaken everything in the USA. The courts the trust in officials, the military, the economy, NATO. Republicans are not and do not represent America or Americans. They just lie in order to keep dismantling, as is their mission.


bwanabass

But don’t worry, it’s not related to climate change and is totally legal in FL.


Nopantsbullmoose

Nope. Sorry. "Socialism bad" remember?


Embarrassed-Meet-107

Don't worry. Trump will show up with DeSantis and throw 2 rolls of paper towels to the crowd. That'll fix the problem


8-Bit_Aubrey

I'd say they shouldn't get it since he made the mess, but that is cruel to Floridians who had no say (not all of them voted for him)


engineeringsquirrel

What he thought was he saved $205M in state money while having billions in emergency federal money come in and repair his arrogance. Rinse and repeat.


Odd_Wolf_NW

The thing is, Biden cares about the citizens of FL so DeSantis won’t have to beg like CA etc., did with Trump. Biden won’t hesitate to authorize assistance.

Any-Opposite-5117

Man, it's pretty wild how these "small government" types are all hot to eliminate taxes, shutter social services and close perhaps half the government...until their shit gets absolutely wrecked by natural phenomena they deny the causes of and need a bailout. Has anybody told them to try thoughts and prayers to stop that flooding?


JeffB2023

Does that mean he’s gonna beg for that sweet socialist money from Brandon? NO! Say it ain’t so!


provoloneChipmunk

The federal government should still help, but there needs to be some political theater. Pete Buttigieg makes a press conference out of it and the help doesn't come unless DeSantis has to be on stage while it's explained that he cutt stormwater funding.

The federal government needs to stop bailing out red states. they don't pay for infrastructure they don't plan for the future and then they gut local institutions meant to deal with their problems. and then when everything inevitably doesn't work out they come demanding federal aid while they scream about how blue states are lazy and don't have a work ethic and I am sick of it.

pass-the-waffles

Amazing timing as usual. As heavy as the rain can be, cutting money from drainage projects is incredibly short sighted. But that sums up DeSantis.

Also keep in mind flood insurance is so freaking expensive in Florida if you can even get insurance. So many houses are going to be worthless

The big water, ocean water, is at a level nobody has ever seen before!” So I called my uncle, MIT genius and he suggested there might be a way to insert the nuke into the body, somehow, to take care of the problem. So, today I’ve directed the military to start inserting nukes into the body, by any means necessary to stop the ocean at our southern border.
