Trump approves disaster declarations for red states, as blue states go without

[Swede]

“President Trump and his administration have politicized disaster relief,” one governor said, “and our communities are the ones who will pay the price.”

President Donald Trump approved major disaster declarations for Alaska, Nebraska, North Dakota and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe late Wednesday, while denying requests from Vermont, Illinois and Maryland and leaving other states still waiting for answers. ... The disaster declarations authorize the Federal Emergency Management Agency to support recipients with federal financial assistance to repair public infrastructure damaged by disasters and, in some cases, provide survivors money for repairs and temporary housing.

2. I wish the blue states could somehow not send our taxes.

6. This is my thought too.

Just withhold the exact amount requested for fire damages from federal taxes.

3. It's not like there aren't any maga repukes that live in the blue states.

Am I right? So, perhaps they are cheering now, but what will they say when their own house floats away and there is no relief in sight.

5. How about blue states start withholding federal taxes

[thought crime]

8. If the federal government withholds services and legal funding, this should be considered.

I'm not sure how it could be done, but states like California have a case for it already: No taxation without Proportional Representation.
