On Friday, California Governor Jerry Brown sought federal help from President Trump by asking the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to declare “a major disaster” in California in light of the damage done by recent storms. The East Bay Times reports: “Brown formally requested the declaration for the series of storms striking the state between Jan. 3 and Jan. 12.” He noted that “heavy rains, winds and snow, particularly in Northern California, left eight people dead and knocked out power to an estimated 1 million Californian homes and businesses.”

Brown’s request comes as Gov. Brown has challenged the Trump administration on climate change, immigration, Obamacare, and other issues.

I agree even though they don’t deserve help. Presidents have to rise above, even when others are petty and hateful.

Brown is asking for federal assistance.

That’s MONEY.

As long as there are “sanctuary cities” in California, no money.

And, since Brown promotes the Global Warming Hoax, Trump should him that, since the Earth continues to get hotter and hotter and hotter, the drought is obviously still on.

Obviously, since the Earth is getting hotter, and hotter, and hotter, it was never going to rain again.

And here all this time I thought they were protected from any disasters involving rain, because they believed in man- made global warming. Since they are going to secede, shouldn’t they be applying to the United Nations?

I think that FEMA will help. Trump is the president of all Americans even Californians.

Conservative Californians want Trump to put Brown’s feet to the fire with illegals, infrastructure, and welfare. We need another Governor Ronald Reagan!

Hey Jerry, you have plenty of people in your sanctity cities to help you out. Quit calling the fed when you want more money.

Take the money they were going to use to launch their own California Global Warming satellite, and use it to help out with disaster relief.

Ironic, isn't it? Just last week Gov. Jerry Brown was screaming that California can take care of itself, and can build their own damn satellites and anything else California needs. This week he's begging President Trump for billions of federal dollars to get rail projects built... , oh, he's also begging for federal dollars for disaster relief.

Ironic!

Someone has to tell poor Governor Moonbeam that this is the sort of thing he’ll have to handle for himself after California secedes.

are there any states that have NO sanctuary cities? if Texas had a disaster and requested federal aid, should the President refuse?

Brown’s request comes as Gov. Brown has challenged the Trump administration on climate change, immigration, Obamacare, and other issues winning the 2016 election.

There, I fixed it.

So NOW all of a sudden Jerry Brown gives a DAM about building a WALL?

Open borders for open rivers.

“Brown formally requested the declaration for the series of storms striking the state between Jan. 3 and Jan. 12.”

Why the HELL didn't he request this relief in January when Barry Q Faggot was still president? The boy king was busy kicking over ant hills around the world.
