With the Federal Emergency Management Agency reeling from major staffing and funding shortages amid the impact of Hurricane Helene, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) refused on Sunday to commit to reconvening the House before Election Day to aid recovery efforts. In response to a letter from President Biden urging congressional leaders back to replenish federal disaster loan funding, Johnson said during a Fox News Sunday interview that he’d only do so after the election—all but ensuring the funds will run out.

“Joe Biden isn’t giving people in Florida proper help because Donald Trump lives there!” Mike Johnson in a week probably.
Why the fuck doesn’t Biden just use his absolute presidential immunity for official acts to bypass Congress and allocate the funds? Then, once the election is over have anyone who says anything about stolen elections or massive voter fraud and the corrupt members of the Supreme Court arrested and shipped off to Guantanamo Bay. Official presidential acts!
He doesn’t need that. The constitution already gives the president the permission to summon Congress for emergencies.
he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them
“Happy 2am FEMA discussion!”
And he can send the US Marshals to bring them in. They can be handcuffed and dragged into the Chamber. I believe Kevin Spacey’s character in House of Cards did this. Wonder which ones will get into a shootout with Marshals telling them the President needs them to come in and do their job?
I doubt any are dumb enough to mess with Marshalls.
Not even Empty G?
Moral high ground. “They go low, we go high”.
The biggest issue with liberals are them taking their opponents in good faith, while their opponents exploit this fact.
Except on the republican side it goes like “We go low, you go high”, and the republicans are not the only ones using it. In fact, the nazis used it to get into power, and so is Putin, Orbán, etc.
Unfortunate reality is if you want to stay the good side, you have to keep to the high ground and follow the rules.
Or you can be like an anti-hero. Use guns, swear a lot, and most importantly: remember that your opponents will exploit the good faith of others.
Anti heros don’t function all too well in reality most of the time
little christian pervert believes hes following his religion
“If people starve to death because we have no post-disaster emergency services, that’s God’s will.”
“If people starve to death because we have no post-disaster emergency services,
that’s God’s willwe can campaign on that.”
Voter suppression helps Republicans win elections. Asheville, NC slightly swung towards Biden last presidential election.
Can’t do anything that might make the current administration appear competent. Regardless of what the consequences may be for the American people.
I’m disgusted that every time those fucking dimwits flip the bird to a dying populace, nobody makes a big stink about it. These fucking assholes are out for blood, yet a third of the nation is offering them selves up to the sacrifice altar, and the rest is doing fuck all!
And it’s all about the upcoming election. They can’t allow Biden Admin to appear to have any kind of “win” prior to November.
If people actually gave a shit…
And the media reinforces their narratives as well. I watched a portion of the 60 minutes interview and Harris might as well have been interviewed by Mike Johnson or Ted Cruz or something.
They do all of this posturing and pandering to the audience to try to pretend that they’re asking the tough questions, and Trump picks the easy route and faces zero scrutiny his entire campaign by practically hand picking every interviewer and interview question and they give him a complete pass.
Why help people when you could kill them?

Sends another billions dollar military aid package to Israel
“Hey, let’s hold the victims of Helene hostage until after the election. People will push conspiracies that Biden and the Dems don’t want to help even though us Republicans constantly vote against funding for natural disasters. Our supporters are dumb as shit, just the way we like it.”
Haven’t we not heard this pattern before ? Something with supreme court and picking a judge before elections ? Pepperridge farm remembers.
Biden should do it, anyway. Do it and declare it an official act, force a Constitutional crisis when SCOTUS tells him its not an official act. The Judicial Branch, by design, has no enforcement arm to make POTUS do anything. They cannot send a brute squad into the White House to apprehend him and Harris. They can say it’s not official, but they can’t actually make him stop. Now, Congress does have armed goons they can send in, but they would immediately be confronted by Secret Service agents with itchy trigger fingers.
