As Hurricane Helene careened toward Floridaās Panhandle, numerousĀ Republicans voted against extending funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Last week,Ā Congress approved $20 billion for FEMAās disaster relief fund as part of a stopgap spending bill to fund the government through December 20. But the measure left out billions of dollars in requested supplemental disaster funding.
TheĀ Senate approved the measure by a 78-18 vote on September 25 after it passed the House in a 341-82 vote. Republicans supplied the no votes in both chambers.
Some of the Republicans who voted against the bill represent states that have been hard hit by Helene, includingĀ Florida Representative Matt Gaetz.

Within the context of this bill, how else can one explain all the NO votes purely from Republicans? What about republicans whose states are devastated by Hurricane Helene?

I donāt know man, Iām sure they had reasons other than āsolely to inflict suffering on other humansā. Frankly, I donāt care. Republican politicians are mostly scum. But painting every Republican as a one-dimensional caricature that subsists on the suffering of others is shortsighted, naive, hyperbolic, and dangerous.
If they werent. They wouldnt be aligning with facists.
Lol jesus christ. What are you, 13?
