In the new Bob Woodward book, War, the author quotes Sen. Lindsey Graham as telling Trump the following shortly after the midterms: "You've got a problem with moderate women. The people that think that the earth is flat and we didn't go to the moon, you've got them. Let that go."

I personally enjoy seeing red states get smacked with extreme weather events then crying for support. Meanwhile republicans deny climate change, cut FEMA budgets and reject bills designed to help. Beautiful stuff.

Didn't cut budgets. They voted against giving 20b extra in the budget after a large portion had been used for other things. Lying doesn't help you prove your point.
Also, if climate change was real, why did Obama buy an ocean front property? Isn't the water supposed to rise and kill everyone and also cause all the earth quakes and thunder storms and traffic on freeways and Ukraine. Climate change made putin invade. How daaaare you

"While $155 million is a lot of money to pull out of any federal agency, FEMA's disaster relief fund had a balance of nearly $27 billion as of July 31.
When it comes to FEMA's budget there are two accounts in the disaster relief fund: the Base account and the Majors account. The Base account is used to cover normal operations of FEMA. The $155 million would be taken out of the Base account, leaving a remainder of $447 million in the Base account.
"This amount will be sufficient to support operational needs and will not impact ongoing long-term recovery efforts across the country," FEMA said in a statement to CNN.
FEMA's current budget runs through September 30."

Obama budget in 2013 cut fema by 3%. And the disaster fund itself by 14%.
He cut staff and expenses, emergency food and shelter, and radiological emergency preparedness.
That damn republican Obama! Doesn't he know climate change is murdering everyone?
