Summary
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) argued that California does not deserve federal aid for its deadly Los Angeles wildfires unless the state adopts changes.
In a Newsmax interview, Tuberville criticized California leadership, falsely attributing wildfire mismanagement to “inner-city woke policies.”
While he expressed willingness to support some funding, he insisted it be conditional on reforms.
The wildfires have killed 24 people and destroyed thousands of homes, per the Associated Press, intensifying debates on state accountability and federal disaster relief.
Hypothetical alternate reality: Bernie Sanders has won the presidency but hasn’t taken office yet, George W. Bush has just died and there’s just been a massive fire in Texas.
Sanders refuses to fly the flag at half mast for his inauguration, someone from his not-yet-in-power cabinet has told Texas it can fuck off for aid unless it becomes socialist, there’s a publicly published plan for an ultra-left-wing takeover of the country that he swore he’d never heard of until the day after he won the election when he suddenly went “Oh yeah we are doing that lol” and also Bill Gates is living in his house, has a cabinet position and is openly provoking friendly countries with overthrowing their governments.
How chill do we think the MAGA crowd would be in this scenario?
If I’m still alive when Trump finally meets the scales of justice, I’m going to attach a helium balloon to my (currently flagless) flagpole, and put the flag on the balloon. That way it can be more than full mast.
The fucking guy is going to die of old age before he ever sees anything approaching justice.
I haven’t decided how I’m going to celebrate, but a celebration will be had. I’m hoping to hear fireworks for a week after it happens.
I will shit on his grave at some point in my life.
Maybe that’ll be my retirement plan.
