1. Hey josh, go talk with the gov of N. Carolina, trmp nixed their pleas too.

You probably thought this was only going to happen to Blue states...

[markodochartaigh]

5. "...thought this was only going to happen to Blue states."

I don't think so. He doesn't have to really care whether his state gets any federal aid. He DOES have to please the ones for whom he works, his wealthy donors. And they want more tax cuts for themselves and less government aid for the 99%. Fortunately for sprinting senators like Josh, he knows that his electorate is easily misdirected and has a shorter memory than most one-celled lifeforms.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. FAFO will prefer red states since they are most of taker states, a term they use erroneously to deride blue states. nt

[barbtries]

14. Our governor is a Democrat.

When I saw the headline today I couldn't help but wonder if that's why FEMA is refusing to help the victims of Helene.

[Deep State Witch]

33. Or the Huckabeast

in Arkansas. He denied her request for FEMA, too.

[JustAnotherGen]

2. You mean the guy

Who put up his fist in solidarity on January 6 then scurried like a rat after the breach?

[underpants]

7. Yep. That guy.

[lastlib]

35. (I gotta steal that!)

Runnin' Josh is the Senator from my state. (Note I didn't say he was *my* senator--I don't claim the litle runt-coward, and he doesn't speak for me; I don't have enough zeroes in my bank balance.)

[Paladin]

17. Would love to see him do that mad dash out the door, once again.

But only if he's simultaneously (1.) pounding sand up his ass, and (2.) fucking himself.

[underpants]

19. 😳

[Joinfortmill]

3. This is on you, you punk.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Life sucks, and then you vote to make shit worse...

[NNadir]

6. Don't act, you cowardly shithead, like you care about people in distress in your State. Never have, never will.

[Hotler]

8. Bootstraps. nt

[leftyladyfrommo]

9. He's been out against cutting Medicare and

Medicade.

I think he's trying to come across as the big fighter for the people.

That's his new shtick. He is such a phony.

[mvd]

28. Big phony

He’s fine with the work requirements, which result in cutting Medicaid!

[FakeNoose]

10. The idiotic voters of Missouri had a chance to get rid of him last November

... but instead, he's in for another term.

[Rebl2]

27. Well this

idiot in MO didn’t vote for him. Trump refused Arkansas any help as well after the state was hit with tornados and flooding. Doesn’t seem to matter if it’s a red or blue state.

[Irish_Dem]

11. MAGAs want to screw everyone else, not themselves.

[MineralMan]

12. Elect Democrats. They'll make sure FEMA is ready to help you.

Elect Trump and, well, Find Out.

[miyazaki]

13. Gee Josh, maybe start a Go Fuck Me account for your state.

I'm sure you can get away with pocketing half the proceeds too.

[BoRaGard]

15. "Ha ha. Suckers." - Krasnov (R - Flon/Rapist) and G.O.P. Billionaire Bros

[milestogo]

16. Aw, just be glad you're not in a coastal state.

Hurricanes are worse than tornadoes.

[Genevra]

18. he's just another lying MAGAt.

Hawley is getting pressure from his wealthy Missouri donors to get the feds to take care of the idiots in my state so that none of the catastrophes directly impact them through potential increased state taxes.

He's a diaperstain.

[LiberalArkie]

20. You know, if these states that had surpluses and gave such a big tax cut to the wealthiest had not done that....

[Evolve Dammit]

21. Um, your party dismantled it. It 's a state problem now, and going forward. Sucks, huh?

[czarjak]

22. The Show Me State

Being shown?

[Rhiagel]

23. He ought to run as fast to help his constiuents as he ran from the J6ers!

[Karasu]

24. Oh? Take it up with fucking DOGE, you craven piece of shit.

Thanks to them, people are going to be lucky to get a worthless $750 when their entire fucking house goes down.

[Danascot]

25. WWKD

Hey Josh, If we'd have elected Kamala president would she be denying FEMA and other assistance to any state with a legitimate need? You know the answer to that, don't you?

[Skittles]

26. fuck you Hawley

FUCK YOU

[republianmushroom]

29. How are these tax brakes for the wealthy

working out for you, Josh ?

[Traildogbob]

30. Some one with skills

Post a meme of him running away from his constituents, demanding a Town Hall, while pumping his fist in the air.

[Iamscrewed]

32. A typical rEpug Idiot

[justaprogressive]

34. This will do for now...

[rickyhall]

36. Even his mouthpiece got nothing.

37. The running man

39. Forgot what a monster tRump is? Maybe this will jog his memory....

[CTyankee]

44. I just love that clip! "When the going gets tough...

the tough get going...literally"

[Silent Type]

38. Hope Democrats are approaching him on FEMA and Medicaid cuts, rather than just calling him a POS.

He is, but he’s also vocally opposed to this and Medicaid cuts.

[BlueHurricane]

40. I don't feel bad for Hawley, I feel bad for Missourians

Hawley voted last year to cut FEMA funding so I call BS he wants FEMA. This reminds me he keeps saying they shouldn’t cut Medicaid.

The voters expanded Medicaid a few years ago in Missouri via a constitutional amendment and that means if federal funds are cut to Medicaid then the state will be on the hook to make up the difference.

Repubs in Missouri recently got rid of the Capital Gains state tax which obviously helps wealthier folks. Repub’s next goal is to remove the state income tax. They don’t seem to care about their people, they care about being able to push through their regressive tax cuts.

I watch how Repubs vote not what they say since those things don’t always agree.

[flashman13]

41. I don't feel bad for either one.

Missouri voted for Trump by a wide margin.

Hawley has voted for all of Trump's idiot appointees.

No sympathy whatever.

FAFO!

[Javaman]

42. I refer to him as scooty nt

43. Trump's FEMA thumbs nose at state that backed him 3 times: 'Gonna cost a lot'

trump is denying FEMA assistance to a number of red states.

Under President Donald Trump, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has turned down a request from a storm-ravaged state that narrowly voted for him three times.

Under President Donald Trump, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has turned down a request from a storm-ravaged state that narrowly voted for him three times.

Western North Carolina saw massive devastation last year from Hurricane Helene, which killed over 100 people and left the city of Asheville, along with a number of small communities in the Appalachian Mountains, struggling to pick up the pieces after flooding in areas that had hardly ever seen floods before. At the time, Trump supporters spread baseless conspiracy theories that the federal government was ignoring communities there, or only giving aid to Democratic areas, and Trump himself vowed to improve emergency management.

According to Rolling Stone, however, Trump's administration is now denying an extension of a commitment to pay the full amount for a vital portion of the recovery process.....

With Trump rejecting the state's request, he continued, "It will cost North Carolina taxpayers a lot more to clean up west through North Carolina, and debris removal is just one of the many categories of relief we need."

Since taking unified control of government, Republicans have increasingly toyed with the idea of making political demands of areas that require disaster relief. After wildfires destroyed several neighborhoods in Los Angeles months ago, for instance, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) repeatedly suggested Congress should impose new policy changes in California as a condition of receiving aid to rebuild.

45. YOU TOO JOSH

[patphil]

46. Maga's are being dissed by Trump in Arkansas and North Carolina also.

[Just Jerome]

47. I sleep so well

every night, knowing Joshie is in my corner.

Thank god for CBD & CBN !

[HeartsCanHope]

48. The situation for a lot of Missourians is dire due to the floodingand tornadoes.

Hawley betrayed us his entire first term, and yet so many of my fellow Missourians voted him back in. He's our Senator until 2030!

[UpInArms]

49. Jump and Run Josh

What a pice of lying shit you are … I have been misrepresented by you for far too long.

[mdbl]

50. Award Weiner is more like it.

[Tickle]

51. We do know that Trump approved FEMA

for 8 states, right?
Let’s be honest — the real headline here is the bribe!

HHS Secretary Noemi is suddenly expediting FEMA aid to Missouri. Why, you ask? Because they need Senator Hawley’s vote on the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.”

Before Trump approved FEMA relief, Hawley was a firm no. Who wants to bet that’s about to change?

(Source: Associated Press, 5/23 — can’t link, I’m on my phone. Headline: Trump approves FEMA disaster relief for 8 states

[underpants]

53. Yes he finally signed it Friday.

https://apnews.com/article/fema-disaster-relief-trump-ddf3af914821c020b3a7762f41f5d58c

The major disaster declaration approvals allow Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas access to financial support through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Earlier this week Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem vowed to expedite Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe’s request for disaster assistance, after being pressed on the issue by U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley, a Missouri Republican.

[Karasu]

56. A greatly neutered FEMA that has been utterly gutted by DOGE.

[Kid Berwyn]

52. And Running Chicken thought he'd be Reichsmarshal.

Too bad. So sad.

[BradBo]

54. Ha!

[BobTheSubgenius]

55. Oh, damn it! Where did I put those thoughts and prayers?

I never seem to find a use for them, so there should be a whole pile of them lying around here somewhere.
