  1. Well that’s an easy fix, just do what traitor boy and the republicans did, throw some paper towels at them, then tell then to rake the forest….

    1. At least they didn’t let him try nuking a hurricane off the coast of the US… so there’s that.

    2. @C D 1 week joiner, copy paste comments in every MSNBC videos..ignore, this account is a troll

    3. @C D your watching and commenting….kinda makes you lower than us…don’t you even get the idea or clue that calling msnbc viewers dumb is exactly what you are ? That’s like telling people your not a quieter and checking into rehab…

    1. @C D Little off Topic aren’t you.
      Put the Meth Pipe down and stop Eating Oxy for Breakfast.
      It’s affecting your train of thought.

    1. @Crimdor You think you can fix four years of damage in 4 months? I takes longer to build things up than it does to destroy them. King Cheeto was the worst US President of all time. Impeached twice, he inspired people to betray their country.

    2. Thomas Spencer – it’s called looking at the records and call the people that left because of trump and try and get them back at their posts.
      If they don’t come back, then so be it.
      At least try.

    3. @Crimdor yes, we’re blaming everything on Trump and more,… unprecedented number of US covid deaths under him.., bounty over US soldiers’ killed under him.., crazy conspiracy theorists put to high government positions under him, .Republicans attacking each other for him….the attack on the Capitol Hill to make him stay in power…..more conspiracy theorist lawmakers to put him back to power which will never happen now he’s showing signs of dementia…

    4. @Crimdor Congressional Republicans are not going to pass Biden’s proposed budget. So a lot of the fixes needed that are needed to help repair fed personnel destruction caused by the prior administration may not happen.

    5. @Crimdor You’re assuming that the personnel left of their own volition. If they didn’t, why were they fired? If it is a budget, then there is no money to pay the people you are calling. Trump froze hiring and wages.

  2. I’m seeing way too many people not wearing a mask, please remember that there are many, even more deadly variants thanks to all those who refuse to get vaccinated not wearing a mask. Please do your part and always have it on anytime leaving your home. Together, we can defeat this deadly pandemic!

    1. U can use my mask, right after I’m done wiping my azz w/it! You’re sheep, we get it. NOW GO THAT WAY!

    1. LMAO 1573 voters in Pennsylvania for the 2020 election were over 100 years old. YOU MSNBC VIEWERS ARE SO DUMB TO BELIEVE THE MSM.

  3. FEMA needs to be replaced with a new better plan. FEMA and DHS should be the same letters.

    1. LMAO 1573 voters in Pennsylvania for the 2020 election were over 100 years old. YOU MSNBC VIEWERS ARE SO DUMB TO BELIEVE THE MSM.

  4. I was an adjuster for private insurance companies after Hurricane Sandy hit, I know first hand FEMA and the companies I was representing were ripping off the people in their real time of need. That was the time I left insurance adjusting forever.

  5. Volunteers get 300 bucks a day… and it is not hard , but they could ask you to be away from home for a few weeks…

    1. LMAO 1573 voters in Pennsylvania for the 2020 election were over 100 years old. YOU MSNBC VIEWERS ARE SO DUMB TO BELIEVE THE MSM.

  6. The non Climate Change raises its ugly head. We are looking at another dry summer in the Northwest. It looks like hurricanes, fires and drought all summer.
    I would volunteer but to old.

  7. One thing we need to do is to quit rebuilding in places that are just going to get demolished again in a year or a few. This means investing in moving whole communities to more viable places. In the long run this means relocating Houston and Miami, in fact the Florida keys are eventually going to start just south of Jacksonville. Climate change will have its way.

  8. First, you are put in horrible situations while trying to help others. Second, if you get sick or hurt; it’s on you. It’s not worth it to me ever again.

  9. No funding for disasters in red states. Their voters hate when the Federal government interferes.

    1. Saving red staters from natural disasters is a grievous infringement upon their rights. Especially when its a …ahem Federal agency. In Texas , ‘Federal’ is THE F-word.

  10. they were useless here in puerto rico after maria. got themselves a bunch of beer and generators to keep the beer cold at the san juan convention center

    1. Any response is useless almost all first responders are burned out and now a new variant of covid popped up in Vietnam…a place that was largely untouched by covid and now in lockdown…

  11. Limit all aid to the South to one (1) box of bootstraps and one (1) sack of hopes and prayers.
