Harvey Obliterates Mississippi
 
Harvey is proving to be more powerful than ANYONE imagined. Apparently, it has completely wiped Mississippi off the face of the map.

...and Louisiana won. This is not without precedent

Fron Wikipedia:

Moosylvania is a fictional island and micronation located in the Lake of the Woods along the Canada–United States border that served as a plot device in The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.

The island has no permanent population, and conditions are said to be harsh and unpleasant... ...Neither Canada nor the United States wants to claim the land and each country says it belongs to the other.

Good thing we cut the FEMA budget to the bone.

Do people leave when you walk into a room?

Fema hasn't been cut, there was a proposal to cut it 11% and that's is because they had their budget increased by 40 something % as a kneejerk reaction to Katrina. Either way shame on you for trying to make this some kind of Trump political thing. You better get over it already.

Has any federal budget been truly "cut" since baseline budgeting was put in place in the 70's?

And furthermore:
 
'Breathtaking' Waste and Fraud in Hurricane Aid - The New York Times

Maybe the best thing would be to cut the budget to $0.00 and send all the bureaucrats to wherever Mississippi ended up. Or send them to Moosylvania.

And send you with them.

I'll never forget seeing all of the FEMA trailers going down the highway after Katrina and thinking how great it was, then finding out that most never made it to New Orleans, or anywhere, other than an airport in Arkansas, then later flying over that airport and actually seeing them there.
I heard they eventually burned them.

The guy who took a lighthearted thread and buzzkilled it by stuffing his hardcore, loudmouthed, parroted political talking points up its butt. Like he always does.

The question was rhetorical; people indeed do leave a room when he walks in. I did, more than once. I was not the only one.

Sweet Home Mississippi.
