Trump administration denies California request for more wildfire aid
(Reuters) - The Trump administration has denied a request by California for additional wildfire recovery relief, saying the September blazes, part of the state’s record-setting fire year, were not severe enough.
“The early September fires were not of such severity and magnitude to exceed the combined capabilities of the state, affected local governments, voluntary agencies and other responding federal agencies,” Federal Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Lizzie Litzow said in an emailed statement on Friday.
More than 4.1 million acres have burned in California this year, shattering a previous record.
President Donald Trump issued a major disaster declaration for some parts of the state in August. California Gov. Gavin Newsom sent him a request on Sept. 28 seeking another major disaster declaration for seven counties affected by fires that ignited earlier that month.
A major disaster declaration provides federal assistance for individuals, infrastructure and emergency and permanent work, according to FEMA’s web site.

This is just baggery, tbh...
Biden should do this when Louisiana gets hit with a hurricane. It'd actually be more justified, at least California pays its fair share in taxes and deserves the aide. Louisiana already freeloads off the government before factoring hurricane relief in.
Old Joe won't do , tbh... "working across the aisle"
#punchingdown
Its ing stupid to let people die for some partisan political bull
Lol California gets the funding.
Poor Chris
Louisiana evangelicals have been cheering Trump on for the last 4 years in trying to California over while Louisiana lives off California tax dollars. them. The next Democratic president should let the state fall apart the next time it gets hit with a hurricane.
So I heard he folded again.
Chrissy
Yep, folding confirmed. Muahahhahaha
LOL if the Democrats passed a law saying states can take back no more in federal benefits than they pay in federal taxes. Blue states could spend their federal money on social democracy while red states could go ing die.
Yeah, normal people don't think this way. No offense. Joe's saccharine "we're in this together" bull definitely politically smarter than let the hillbillies burn
We're not talking about normal people. We're talking about Louisiana evangelicals.
More of the same "when they go low, we go high!" Mic e Obama bull . I'll bet you're a big Dianne Feinstein fan and appreciate the "bipartisanship" she showed this week.
Oh what did le happy merchant feinshekel do this week?
She told Lindsey Graham the Barrett hearings were some of the most well-conducted hearings she's been a part of during her time on the judiciary committee, then said she was impressed with Barrett, then she literally turned and gave Lady G a giant hug on national television because of how well she thought he handled the hearings.
Fortunately since she did that an abortion advocacy group denounced her and people are fuming.
ing malignant cunt. I hope Lady G gave her COVID.
Cocaine Mitch is also now using Feinstein's remarks to make her appointment appear more credible too. I know centrist Dems like isitjustme think she's great because she shows "bipartisanship!" in dealing with a GOP that has no ing interest in bipartisanship but it actually has consequences.
United States.
Kiss the flag Chris.
Remember Rick Scott/FL didn't want to pay for NYC's c19 crisis in Mar/Apr?
but he sure expects NY to pay for FL's hurricanes and coastal flooding crises

Trash's "personal transaction" so-called Presidency:
"your state doesn't vote for me, so I punish you by withholding Federal funds"
impeach the mother er
The reaction of normal people is what I'm talking about. If there were wildfires in La and Joe was like " em all, let em burn" norml people would not cheer him on at ing all lol. Political diehards think that their divisive at udes and positions represent normal people but they don't. If people wanted a divisive bomb thrower Joe would have gotten dominated by Bernie, Liz, Trump etc. His togetherness bull that you guys mock is insanely popular among normal people who by and large are not down for the 24/7 culture war bull diehards live for.
I mean I love posting on the internet more than anyone but if I was running a campaign would not do posting or deliberately divisive rhetoric at all.
Glad he relented, tbh...
California:
"WE create the chaos, YOU send US the cash."
Of course people wouldn't cheer for Biden doing that. Liberals would think it was ed up and Trump s would think it was ed up because it was a Democrat doing it.
nm, thought you meant LA like Los Angeles.
