As Florida prepares for another potentially disastrous hurricane, keep in mind that FEMA will be there to help… in a few months that is. Oh, and you’ll be able to apply for a whopping $750 of relief funding when you lose everything.
We’d offer more… but Traitor Joe gave a lot of your money to his little Corrupt Midget Oligarch in Ukraine, so he’d keep his mouth shut… and Cartel Kamala used the rest to finance her illegal alien invasion.
@ TallyPatriot = Sad to say, I bet a lot of them will.
@David Do you think everyone moving to Florida(The retirement capitol) will be seeking a job?
CSC got us again. When will this ripoff end?
If the net migration has decreased from 868 new residents each day to 801 and you’re saying that Employers will have a hard time filling Jobs, HOW? If over 800 People are moving here each DAY, that’s 291,200 People a YEAR. How many People are Leaving Florida each Day?
@The Lion Thank you!
@The Spider- You got that right!!
A year ago today.. Orcs invaded Israel. It would not have happened if Trump was still president. Nor Ukraine nor Afghanistan. And if Trump were President again.. NONE of this FEMA crap in NC would be happening. NONE of it! Yall BETTER vote for Trump 2024.. or its COMMIE hell times ahead for America.
But it doesn’t matter anyway. Obama will just cheat again to get his 4th term. we are DOOMED.
