• Lying White House spox

    From Aaron Thomas@1:342/201 to All on Mon Oct 7 09:26:20 2024
    Fox News has provided video evidence of KJP lying to the press about FEMA money being spent on migrants and not being available to Americans who need it.

    "No Biden did not take FEMA money to use on migrants," (Karine Jeane-Piere 2024)

    "FEMA regional administrators have been meeting with city officials on site, to coordinate federal support from FEMA and other federal agencies. Funding is also available through FEMA's emergency food and shelter program to eligible local governments and non-profit organizations on request, to support humanitarian relief for migrants." (Karine Jeane-Piere, 2022)

    Wouldn't the Republican party get more respect from voters if they would impeach Biden, especially for lying about the use of funds?

    They would. But impeachment would be only be symbolic at this time.

    What they should do is file charges for all those Elitists right after Trump wins the election. Then try, convict and jail all of them.

    But nothing will come of this and all the Patsies will walk free.

    I know what you mean, but it's their job. They need to do their job no matter what time it is.

    We can rely on Trump to do a lot of stuff, but I don't think he will help us prosecute anybody. It's just 4 more years of freedom and then we have to prepare for more hell.

    Do you have sources for these quotes?

    I think they are playing acronym games in order to prove that the
    accusations are false.

    FEMA is a "child" agency under DHS. Supposedly, DHS doles out money (and
    some other things) "through FEMA." Now, the game is that they can say
    "FEMA money wasn't used, it was DHS money." However, since all FEMA money
    is DHS money, and they are distributing the DHS money "through FEMA," I
    can't help but think there is a link.

    IMHO, DHS should not be doling out aide money and supplies for non-citizens until they have shored up FEMA and have all of the US citizens covered
    first. I posted an article a few weeks back, before Helene, that discussed
    how FEMA was still behind on providing aide to areas affected by hurricanes in past years, never mind 2024.

    In case anyone is questioning whether or not FEMA is involved at all in
    aide to migrants, here is a link to a press release from their own website which I have posted here before.

    Release Date:
    April 12, 2024 (HQ-24-049)

    "WASHINGTON -- Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), through FEMA and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), announced $300 million in grants through the Shelter and Services Program (SSP), which was authorized by Congress to support communities that are providing services to migrants. Two hundred seventy-five million dollars will be distributed in the first allocation, and the remaining $25 million will be allocated later in the year to accommodate evolving operational requirements. The initial funding will be available to 55 grant recipients for temporary shelter and other eligible costs associated with migrants awaiting the outcome of their immigration proceedings. Additionally, DHS is announcing $340.9 million through the Shelter and Services Program-Competitive grant program to be allocated before the end of this fiscal year."

    I didn't know that, but thanks for pointing that out. One way or another, Democrats wasted our money, like usual.

    I share the same opinion about when it is and isn't appropriate to provide relief to non-citizens.
