Hardcore troubadour 14,547 Posted January 24 Meanwhile , President Trump is on the ground in North Carolina in the disaster zone. Losers like Turd Guy and the others would rather get their panties in a bunch over a legislative boogey man because the truth is so painful for them. President Trump is the peoples President. We are seeing it today and everyday. Popular vote, electoral landslide. Suck it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What could NC do to mitigate damage from a once in a century hurricane? It's an honest question. When I was 5 yrs old my hometown was destroyed by Hurricane Agnes. Quote The most significant effects, by far, occurred in Pennsylvania, mostly due to intense flooding. The tropical storm severely flooded the Susquehanna River and the Lackawanna River causing major damage to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton metropolitan area. In both Pennsylvania and New Jersey combined, about 43,594 structures were either destroyed or significantly damaged. In Canada, a mobile home was toppled, killing two people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Agnes Afterward, levees on the Susquehanna were raised. It also came out that a lot of tributaries that could have taken water were not properly cleared, and that was resolved. Five years later, another hurricane came through and, because of the above measures, the river didn't flood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNewGirl 1,241 Posted January 24 The conditions included additional funding for fire prevention; an extra $1 Billion. Dems turned it down. Newsom also "expects" to be reimbursed the $2.5 billion that they did grant. Why would you vote against additional prevention funding? https://www.mymotherlode.com/news/local/3491212/ca-gop-1-billion-wildfire-prevention-proposal-denied.html Quote Sacramento, CA — A $2.5 billion relief package was approved by the California legislature today to help those impacted by the fires that have devastated Los Angeles. Republicans in the Assembly called for adding an additional $ 1 billion for wildfire prevention. GOP leader James Gallagher argued, “The next fire isn’t just around the corner, it is already burning,” referencing additional fires that have been reported in Los Angeles over the past 24 hours. He added, “Wildfire prevention is a glaring omission from the relief package being passed today.” Mother Lode Republican Assemblyman, David Tangipa, noted, “Addressing the symptom, we have to go after the disease of mismanagement and dereliction. It is our ability to do so right now.” The proposal to add the $1 billion did not have enough support from Democrats to pass. The $2.5 billion that was approved will help support response and recovery efforts in Southern California. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonmx 2,349 Posted January 24 Term limits for elected representatives are a waste of time when the real power and corruption is with unelected bureacracies. Maybe we should limit federal employment to less than 20 years. Hopefully Trump can defang the beast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Liberals are scared because they know that Trump is going to clean up their mess and would easily be reelected in the election. They want their DEI and illegals back!!

Mufaletta 52 Posted January 29 Could be quite interesting. In FDR's fourth run, he won the electoral college count 432 to 99 Trump already has 3 consecutive elections with sufficient valid votes to win the electoral in each one. Could he surpass 432 in 2028?
