looks like someone needs to get ready to bend the knee

unless he thinks he can get Congress to override a veto

Chicken Noodle Network - you’ve been warned

quote:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom requested nearly $40 billion in wildfire recovery aid in a letter to members of Congress on Friday.


quote:

The aid would go toward “immediate and long-term recovery work needed to rebuild lives and properties,” according to the letter. The request includes $16.8 billion in public assistance funding, $9.9 billion for house and business repairs, $9.61 billion in business loans and grants and $2 billion in low-income housing tax credits.


we should help Cali, but 49B sounds like a bit much

He should be told to frick off cut some of the insane spend they do on homeless and illegal immigrants and he’d have his 40 billion.

Bingo.

We had to either rebuild on stilts or rebuild on high ground after Katrina.

Trump, "Hey Newscum, you take that 50 million you invested in legal firms to resist me, take it back and give it to the citizens of LA affected by the fires."

Then I will consider giving you more money.

I’d use it to broker a deal to purge voter rolls and install voter id.

Why are they building houses, churches and schools with Federal money.

They should have insurance. If they don’t they. Hose to self insure.

These should be paid by state, citizens or businesses.

Only after DOGE audits CA finances and figures out why the state with the world's 5th largest economy is broke.

No because they won’t do it once they have the money in hand.

Not until they cut all funding to illegals and every penny of it is put towards their citizens. Then and only then can we start a discussion.
