      Sounds like socialism Mr. Hawley. Where are your bootstraps? Your belt? Your dignity for Christ sake!?! Are you not loyal to the god emporer Trump? Leaving disaster recovery to the states alone is Trumps great plan to save the government pennies. PENNIES! They could make or break the making of a great America again.

      Sniveling little shitbag. Hopefully your angry constituency eat you alive.

        To anyone as confused as I was: This is an alteration of an image of senator Josh where he supports the treasonous mob on Jan. 6th, 2021

        I personally think the unaltered image should be powerful enough.

      Missouri Republicans have repeatedly warned party activists and elected officials that Democrats were threatening American democracy because their party is growing more comfortable with socialism.

      Hawley needs to stop begging for socialist handouts and instead tell his constituents to quit their whining and pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

      Pretty sure a stated objective of the administration is the closing of FEMA with disaster response responsibility moved to the state. Josh should know this. He should be refusing any offered assistance to set an appropriate example.

      There is no money for your disaster. God had a plan, and that plan was to let you all rot in hell and make rich greedy people even richer. Keep up Josh! FFS

      Shouldn’t he be bugging the governor to find money since the states can handle their own disasters better than FEMA?

      How are we in a world where Josh Hawley is the moderate voice for a party?

        He’s not, he’s just being your typical hypocritical, whiny-ass Republican that only ever cares when it directly affect them. Hey still thinks that only Real AmericansTM should be helped.

          I think it’s entirely possible that he doesn’t personally care nor actually want federal support, and is just doing motions that signals a semblance of humanity for political purposes.

        Oh it won’t be a general principle that the government should help people. It should help when, and only when, not doing so would make Josh Hawley look bad.

          It would be quit difficult to make Hawley look not-bad.

          I think that takes more resources than we can afford.
