Your daily reminder that California pays almost 1 trillion dollars in federal taxes every year (almost 25% of the nations total). If they kept that for themselves they could easily afford their own natural disaster relief

New rule: Blue states will only help blue states after a disaster, red states will only help red states. Most blue states contribute more to the federal budget than they get in aid, with California having over a 2 to 1 ratio, but not a single red state is in the black. Louisiana is one of the worst along side Arkansas and Alabama.

Tommy Tubberville is out there also saying the same shit, they’ll only give aid if you bend the knee to the maggots apparently…California is the fifth largest economy on the world and contributes 15% of overall US GDP… cutting off your nose to spite your face doesn’t even begin to describe how moronic this is.

Again the mask comes off.
The GOP doesn’t care about fire mitigation.
The GOP doesn’t care about forest management.
The GOP doesn’t care about water management.
They care in power and having their “enemies” submit is how they get their 2″ peckers to twitch.

As far as I’m concerned, every democrat in office now has a free pass to vote against aid to any red state shithole.

Weaponizing FEMA. Did Trump run on that? Another sign Trump is all in on Orbans autocracy playbook.
Using institutions, programs, services, agencies and departments to pursue personal political ambitions and vengeance. Trump makes Nixon look like a choir boy.
You may remember Chris Christie embracing Obama when he toured hurricane sandy devastation. That’s how adults and patriots respond to fellow Americans in crisis, DEM or GOP makes no difference at that point.
Cali should put conditions on any funds going to the federal government!!! Little bitch Lee was caught on video promoting the end of Social Security and of course he LIED about it later!
Trump claimed the pandemic was a hoax and when anyone says he was responsible for the failures that in turn fucked up the economy the Trumpanzees sob like infants!!!
If this is cool then California should be sure to help only the Democrats who lost their homes because what’s good for the fucking goose is good for the GQP swine and I’m good if this comment is removed!

We shouldn’t wait for Dems to be in control. Every time Louisiana has a natural disaster, that clip needs to be posted or tweeted at him. Remind him daily or hourly that his state’s freely getting the kind of aid he wanted to put conditions on for California.
We have to make it inescapable.

Just for one year, blue states should withhold federal funds from them and when questioned, ask them why the red states need bailouts and demand conditions with supplying the money…
