After repeatedly attacking and criticizing President Trump, the State of California is officially asking for his help as they have run short of resources in wake of severe weather that has caused significant damage in the state.
From Fox40:
Gov. Jerry Brown has asked President Trump to declare a major disaster for California because of damage from January storms.
The letter sent Friday says the relentless series of storms caused flooding, mudslides, evacuations, erosion, power outages and at least eight deaths. Northern California was hardest hit.
Brown says the storm system was so severe and widespread that state and local governments need federal assistance to continue dealing with the problems it created.
Governor Brown has made his disgust for President Trump known in the past as Breitbart reports that back in March of 2016 Governor Brown said “If Trump were ever elected, we’d have to build a wall around California to defend ourselves from the rest of this country,” which Brown later said was “a joke.”
In addition to snarky comments made from Brown, add in the hateful rhetoric of Maxine Waters who is calling from Trump’s impeachment because in her words, “This is the most outrageous and ridiculous President that this country has ever had.” That statement pretty much embodies how most of the politicians in California feel about President Trump.
Also consider Calexit. There is a growing movement in California to leave the rest of the United States since the state has become so liberal that it doesn’t come even close to where most states are at politically.
Then throw in the ruling of the Ninth Circuit Court (located in CA) this last week which blocked Trump’s Travel Ban and put the country at risk and now President Trump has a decision to make.
President Trump will almost certainly provide aide if it is needed in the state as it is the right thing to do but Californians should be careful about viciously attacking the President and then turning around and asking for a handout.
California reminds me of screaming toddlers demanding their independence; once the first problem comes along, they come bawling to their parents.
...it took 42 days for ODUNGO to react to the BP
oil blowout....everyone remembers snakehead pleading with Odungo to do something
Attach a string - stop all sanctuary city interference and force them to uphold the law and maybe we can talk....
and imprison them.
So Homer, just who is “they?” I was born here in CA in 1940 and like a lot of people have lived here all my life. And I would love to see Brown and his bunch go. Where were “you” while this country, and this state in particular was being inundated with illegal aliens? So when you start throwing “they” around, are you including the 40% of this state who have to live with an a$$hole like Brown for a governor? And how about back when California was first in the nation and had Ronald Reagan for our governor? Somehow you see California as some homogeneous place where everyone is a raving liberal. And next you are going to tell “us” to move somewhere else. How about telling Jim Rob he and John are stupid to run FR from Fresno, CA.
Yabut we don't want to sink to Obama's evil level.
Sorry FRiend, we didn't do this to KKKalifornia. They did it to themselves. WE have been peaceably pleading with States like this, for several decades now, to stop their BS. They chose. Badly!
I'd give them this ultimatum. Arrest and turn over to the Feds for custody every single State, County and Local Official that has been vocal in their establishing these 'sanctuary' city's. That may have to include that the Governor has to at minimum, resign effective immediately. The Feds may then install acting officials up and until we clear their voters rolls of all the illegal voters prior to affording California another run of elections. Those elections will be closely monitored for illegal activity. Not one penny of this Nations wealth should be sent until such conditions are met. They should hurry! Time is short!
More evidence, not that any is needed, that California politicians are pretty much indistinguishable from their Muslim counterparts.
1. “America is The Great Satan! Death to America!”
2. *** natural disaster ***
3. “America, you are so rich and powerful, help us!”
Yes. Hollywood ought to help California. - However, we need
to do unto others as we would have others do unto us, &
I’m in TN.
Like a moody girlfriend who slaps and scratches and then calls begging for love.
Hey California: Still want to leave and for your own country?
Manc the area of CA involved here is as red as Texas. It’s not their fault the cities outmanufacture votes. We have to help them.
Sure Jerry, as soon as you boot out every illegal scumbucket in that beautiful state of yours. And not a minute sooner.
Didn’t you read ‘The Art of the Deal’, Governor?
I’m happy to help. As long as CA doesnt control the purse strings. With CA’s track record, God knows what they’d do with the money.
Hope Trump orders the FEMA money distributed through the respective county commissions and bypasses Sacramento altogether.
Exactly. Its just about the money. CA has plenty to squander on illegals, green energy schemes, bullet trains, etc. Let them use some of that $$.
To withhold relief would be wrong.......Why? Obama would not help red states so payback is a bitch.
Obama also denied Nashville disaster funds when it flooded
It was purely a snub to whiter bible clinger 2nd amendment types
...
Are you sure? Nashville is chock full of liberals and illegal aliens.
I certainly agree with that. Brown would keep the money for his train and it would never get where it is needed. He probably looks at the red areas of CA as traitors
That would work...
