Latest denial of disaster funding comes as Trump has repeatedly stated he wants to eliminate FEMA
Donald Trump has denied federal disaster relief funds to the people of Arkansas, which saw dozens of people die from a series of deadly tornados last month, so legislators are pleading for him to reconsider.
More than 40 people have been found dead after a series of tornados and severe storms hit Arkansas and neighboring states Mississippi and Missouri in March, according to CNN.
Given the scale of the disaster, the state’s Republican governor, Sarah Huckabee, requested federal disaster aid as a part of an emergency declaration. That request was later denied by the Trump administration.
I tried, but voting Democrat in Arkansas is just pissing in the wind.
We’re getting what we deserve, and reaping what we’ve sown. Don’t pity us.
Hello from little rock
Nobody who voted D deserves it.
More FO or leopards? Or both
Thoughts and prayers
Time to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps.

Will Republicans ever learn not to vote for Republicans?
Nope. They’ve inbred themselves too far into stupidity.
They would be much more able to do so if we replaced First-past-the-post voting and let them vote outside the two party system with the ability to transfer their vote if their first choice didn’t win. No spoiler effect.
But we can’t seem to get these reforms passed in most blue states ran by self proclaimed democracy defenders in the democratic party. How can we expect red states to pass it?
They’re not voting for Republicans. They’re voting against Democrats. And, no, they will never learn.
Oh my.
So much winning!
I’m sad to see it, but this is what they voted for. This is what republicans have been fighting for for years, decades even, and Arkansas’ entire federal delegation is republican.
You get what you voted for. You asked for a president who came out and said point blank that he does not care about you and only cares about your vote. Your hatred and stupidity brought you here now own it while we all point and shake our heads.
That’s a shame
Are Huckabee’s bootstraps broken or somethin’?
Huckabee hasn’t been able to reach her bootstraps in decades.
They’ll blame liberals and vote for Trump. I’d bet money on it.
Look, I do not relish in other people’s suffering. But at some point there is only so much I can do and say, before the fruits of your choices are 110% on you.
This is obviously a statement on the vocal majority of the region. For those that aren’t idiot assholes and are suffering, I am sorry and please let us know what we can do.
ms huckabee rolling back child labor laws should solve some of the problems, right republicans.
ms huckabee, you were once part of his administration then he threw you under the bus.
Its pathetic that the Fayetteville area goes red.
Also sad but not surprising that Craighead/Jonesboro isn’t blue.
Yes, but not surprising. I’m in Rogers and it was very obvious that there was no shot for Harris, even though I see plenty of cool bumper stickers and pride flags outside houses.
This is how trump rewards people who voted for him.
People need to understand he doesn’t care about ANYONE that doesn’t have millions of dollars.
You fell for it again award
