      Every accusation is a confession.

      **G**aslight

      **O**bstruct

      **P**roject

      If there is such a thing as a decent Republican, I have not seen it.

      > Trump has a habit of assuming other politicians act in the same way as he would. So we wondered why he would accuse Biden of raiding the FEMA disaster fund to handle undocumented migrants.

      > It turns out that’s because he did this! In 2019, the Trump administration, in the middle of hurricane season, told Congress that it was taking $271 million from DHS programs, including $155 million from the disaster fund, to pay for immigration detention space and temporary hearing locations for asylum seekers who have been forced to wait in Mexico. “The U.S. is facing a security and humanitarian crisis on the Southern border,” the administration said in its notice that it was redirecting the funds.

      The lies from Trump and MAGA are disgusting. Biden is doing everything he can so they’re just lying about all of it.

      Truth of sorts. Money budgeted for the military, used for emergency funds, typically disasters, was used to help build the wall, justification was trump stating “the emergency is our border protection”.

      I spent the last 2 days trying to correct this information. Finally MSM is on the story. Thankfully this article covers the Trump lie well and we can now help those affected by this misinformation.

      Please spread this story to anyone in affected hurricane areas.

      It’s kinda funny how left leaning this entire website is, I don’t vote but I can see how the constant barrage of propaganda works on people.

      So are the millions effected by Hurricane Helene going to get assistance or are both parties rejecting it? And no i’m not referring to the $750, thats pennies compared to what we give other countries and none americans

      Harris could make a twenty second video, where she walks through this, and ends with, when I’m president, you won’t have to worry that your president will take away your FEMA disaster relief budget and spend it on pet projects.

      And one could find two hundred? Five hundred? similar mishandling issues. Like she could end with, when I’m President, you wont have to worry that your President will call Nazis very fine people. Or when I’m President, you won’t have worry that your President won’t maintain its emergency pandemic inventories, because the idea came from Obama. Or you won’t have to worry that your President will look at the area vote counts before authorizing emergency funds.

      Think this need some fact CHECKING but this whole thread is totally biased

      To be clear, he didn’t use relief money to help migrants. He raided $155m of disaster relief money to build more detention space at the border.

      How about we help the people of NC instead of trying to figure out how to one-up each other politically. They are still literally pulling bodies out of mud
