FEMA Money For Maui Disaster Relief May Get Caught Up In A Partisan Fight Over Ukraine
Honolulu Civil beat ^ | August 15, 2023 | By Kirstin Downey

Posted on 08/16/2023 6:41:11 AM PDT by cuz1961

.....the Biden administration sought $12 billion in emergency funding that would extend disaster relief programs while simultaneously requesting some $24.1 billion in military spending for Ukraine in the same package.

That means that funding Hawaii’s needs for Maui’s recovery has been tied to funding to back Ukraine’s military.. ..

How cruddy is this of biden ?

I guess he needs another 10% off ukrain aid , and tying Maui aid to ukrain aid is one way to do that..

On another note...

no one is allowed to come into shelters ,,. unless you are Oprah carrying pillows looking for a photo op ....

...because OF COURSE the concern HAS to remain focussed on what the Media tells us is the most important thing to be focussing on...

If Maui has problems, money isn’t one of them.

The sleazy democrat party is going to link aid for Maui to Ukraine military aid. Of course, if the republican party was a real party they would pass a “clean” bill for aid for Maui and let the democrat Senate deep six it. But they are not a real party and will continue doing EXACTLY as their democrat masters tell them.

The amoeba in the White House must really be afraid of what Ukraine will reveal about him if he doesn’t keep the billions flowing. Hawaii isn’t blackmailing him, so he doesn’t care one twit about Hawaii.

Any chance the media will create a new meme: “Biden Maui catastrophe”? Like they did with “Bush Katrina disaster.”

- NONE.

Or simplified: Biden is holding hostages in Hawaii and won’t release them unless his ransom for Ukraine is paid.

Ukraine gave money to Hunter and Sniffer - and the folks on Maui didn’t.

Besides white liberal ‘elties’ want the land cheap so those island folks need to be kept desperate.

These issues won’t be tied together for long - the ‘elites’ want the money to go to Ukraine... and only Ukraine. Why? So their worthless sons can shake down other corrupt countries in the future - like Hunter did.\\

And ‘elites’ don’t want working people rebuilding when THEIR mansions on the property would look better. The islanders who lost everything can get jobs as gardeners for the new owners.

Sorry, we’re out of money. Uber rich Hawaii can pay for their own problems. Ukraine can fight with sticks and stones. We do not have a single national interest in Ukraine unless you want to protect the Biden Crime Family and FauxChi’s illegal bio weapon labs.

We are $1.2 trillion deeper in the hole since McCarthy, Schumer and Biden eliminated the debt limit. McCarthy, Schumer have agreed to and Biden will sign a continuing resolution in September. Then their will be a huge Omnibus bill in December again. That’s at Scamdemic levels of spending, some $2 Trillion that we do not have when there is no pandemic.

And you are telling me there’s no money for Hawaii? They can’t move some of the trillions around? Screw Hawaii. They’re are a blue state. Screw them. My grandchildren don’t work yet so they are not eff’n paying for it.

Actually I suspect they will pass a separate Maui package and force RATS to vote against it because of the Ukraine. It is a win win for the GOPe they pass Maui aid quickly or they force the RATS to vote against it. However, a lot of GOPe are all in for Ukraine so they may want the cover to vote for more money for Zelensky’s off shore accounts. I refused to vote last cycle for my CongressionalPOS rep because he is McCarthy’s bitch.

The Democrats will let Americans suffer so that they can continue to cover up Democrat crimes in Ukraine.

Homelessness is a BIG problem in Hawaii.

Fires from people living outdoors could easily have been part of this mess.

That’s the whole problem with politics these days.

Everybody has to get their little piece out of every stinking Bill.

Ukraine can fight with sticks and stones. We do not have a single national interest in Ukraine unless you want to protect the Biden Crime Family and FauxChi’s illegal bio weapon labs. DC does have interest in Ukraine. It's not just President Sniffer's son that shakes down desperate countries in need of American taxpayer cash in exchange for bribes and kickbacks. John Kerry's step son was over there working the same scam as Hunter. "Worked" for the same Ukraine gas company.

And one look at all the mansions in five of the wealthiest counties in the nation (those clustered around DC) tells you lots of democrat 'elites' are sending their priviate school loser offspring out into the world to shake down corrupt countries.

Bill and Hillary would go to these places and change $10,000 a MINUTE to give 'a speech'. And since the scam was 'there must be an audience' leaders in the Arab and African states would hire a room full of people (who often didn't even speak or understand English) to be the 'audience' so it didn't look like a bribe was being paid... and then sure nuff - taxpayer money and favors would flow to the people of those countries. Just like with Hunter. And Sniffer.

So yeah Ukraine matters. It tells the desperate of the world that the Untied States is a corrupt hellhole that can be bought.

What else can DC private school brats who lack merit do to live the high life like 'daddy'? Nothing really - just sell out the country or take a job they're not qualified for...

With the current DC (Democrat Communist) admenstruation, it’s no contest.

Help Americans at home or tyrants abroad?

Never help hard working, tax paying Americans if there is any opportunity to support someone - anyone - else!
