Member all the times when the Dems refused to accept the election results?
Most notably Killary in 2016?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I believe the DOJ is weaponized by every administration.

Compare the news coverage Hellena is receiving vs. Katrina
Katarina was 24/7 in your face bashing the Bush administration, for months, despite the fact that FEMA did a pretty good job.
Today it's crickets, with little to no coverage.
There are 1000's missing, hundreds known dead, people trapped and starving all over Western NC.
FEMA is barely there and publicly admitting they have no resources because they blew the budget helping illegal immigrants.
This morning driving in NPR didn't say a word about NC.
It was 15 minutes of silly shit about a Batman movie.... that didn't have a Batman.

Personally I think news of this tragedy is being suppressed for fear it will hurt Harris's election prospects.

Careful now, the dumbsmits don't like logic, common sense and facts.

How much FEMA money was spent on migrants? 
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

No Idea ... some article say $640 million, but now days, that's chump change

Mayorkas say Fema is broke

Today I saw an article stating FEMA had plenty of money.

All I can say is that to me, everything about the response and the coverage of this disaster just seems wrong.

From what I saw, it was close to a billion or more.

I suspect it was far more than that... but it's buried in a myriad of slush funds and off the books accounts
and we'll never know the true cost.

Well, Mayorkas really didn't say FEMA was broke.

Mayorkas warns FEMA doesn't have enough funding to last through hurricane season

Excerpt:
QuoteWASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Emergency Management Agency can meet immediate needs but does not have enough funding to make it through the hurricane season, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Wednesday.

No idea. But 640 million is low. Our state alone spent more than that. And this fiscal year they are estimating a billion or more just to feed, clothe, shelter, educate and give free health care to illegals.

True... but he's using the lack of funds as an excuse for a very poor response to a massive natural disaster.

Yes, but they pulled a billion FROM FEMA to cover some of that cost. Because just like social security, it's their own little savings account apparently.

There was/is a lot more than that going on.
There is a big camp in Pamana, supposedly run by the Red Cross and UN, where migrants were staged for the trip to our southern border.
There they were given phones with an app that could be used to apply for entry into the US.
then they were put on fleets of buses, 20 or 30 a day moving migrants to our border.
In Hati they were flying migrants straight into the US then dispersing all over the country, mostly to small towns
in red states.
The government admits to 10 million in 3 years. I doubt anyone knows how many there really were.
None of this was an actual line item of a federal spending bill, but one way or another, they US taxpayer picked up the tab for this.
Now they are crying broke when actual tax paying long time American citizens need help.
