The situation is different. The rail company and local governments should be the ones to primarily respond...unless the state and local governments directly asked for the feds to step in. So...let me get this straight. After bleating about the dangers of government overreach, the benefits of capitalism and the fact that the rail company owns the train and the track, you are now going to blame said feds when it looks like the state and locals along with the rail company..fell flat on their faces here.

What We Do

---

​

We provide the core, coordinated federal operational response capability needed to save and sustain lives, minimize suffering and protect property in a timely and effective manner in communities that become overwhelmed by natural disasters, acts of terrorism or other emergencies. Our activities encompass the coordination of all federal emergency management response operations, response planning and integration of federal, state, tribal, territorial and local disaster programs. This coordination ensures efficient and effective delivery of immediate emergency assistance to individuals and communities impacted and overwhelmed by disasters, emergencies or acts of terrorism.


You cant have the Federal Government saying that they are in charge of shit like this, take the money they take out of these communities via taxes and then throw their hands up in the air and act like it's not their responsibility when shit goes sideways. The problem is the Government is and has been in bed with the rail companies for forever.

FEMA just exists to reimburse wealthy people for damage to their beach front properties from hurricanes and mud slides. Thy spend most of their funds on that; you know, like helping morons whose $5 million houses slide down California hills every couple of years when it rains and then have tax payers rebuild them over and over and over again. Little people don't get that kind of service; they have to wait until insurance companies tie up claims in court for decades and then judges force little people to settle for peanuts, same as Koch brothers owned pipelines do every time their lack of maintenance spills their crap all over other peoples private property.

Interesting how immediately after Trump announces he's going to Palestine Biden sends in FEMA.

Coincidence, or did Trump shame ANOTHER Democrat President into action?

Reasoning from the Cake And Eat It Too Ranch, tries to keep local what can't be kept local. What if the vinyl chloride mutates viruses in the fleeing Palestine prisoners who then give the infection to others in refugee towns in Tennessee or the next county over?

This method of dramatization from CAEITR, which is anything but local, is comparable to current Twitter videos: Syrians who were out picking truffles killed by military forces as they flee into the desert.

What is the true motivation here? Why is the Biden admin refusing to help Ohio?

Is it that if they admit it is an emergency, they are admitting they fucked up?

A state I guarantee will go to the Republican in '24

 

[Delldude]

Biden doesn't like the Palestinians.

 

[Rambunctious]

So this administration has another first in politics... placing states that don't vote for them last behind other states and other countries....
They can't even respond to a red state catastrophe... which state is next Florida?... Texas?....
Whoever wins the white house for the republicans must fire 2/3rds of the appointed and hired trash in DC....
Biden wants to send money to Ukraine to cover their retirement pensions????? WTF libtards??????

 

[easyt65]

What was Biden so afraid of about Trump declaring he was going to visit, so much so that he sent FEMA in after Trump announced it?

Was it Biden and Democrats feared Trump was going to do to them what he did to Barry...give the appearance bat HE cared more about Americans than the sdministration in power / Biden / Democrats?

It would appear so.




In other news, the railroad company that owns the train has done what Sect of Transportstion Buttigieg has not - personally shown up in Palestine, Oh.
