Democrats better be preparing to hammer the shit out of trump and Republicans for causing it if it happens, even though it would have been their actions from 2017 to 2021 that would be culpable not now. But "we the people" are far too gullible and ignorant to understand any of that. 

Maybe it's too early in the day for me, so I could be misunderstanding you. That would also be when Trump was in control.

All that news about the DOD planes taking Guatemalans back is interesting. I am watching the Guatemalan press to see if they show a C-17 there. If it lands, they will.

Meanwhile there is only 1 flight from El Paso to Guatemala direct showing on Flight Radar. it is an airbus and this is not a usual route for it.

Fun times.

Yes, it means the culpability trump has of a recession hits this year would be from his actions then, but Democrats should hammer him like he caused it with his stupidity now. Because Americans are too stupid to realize the truth. Churn out as much propaganda as possible demonizing him and republicans for burning down the economy with their stupidity and corruption.

Yes. The jackass talked about it before the election. And the stupids in Florida, NC, OK, Texas, Missouri, Louisiana, and other red states that get regularly with natural disasters still voted for him. 

At this point, why would states send in money to the Fed? If all benefit and relief programs are cut, why send them any money at all? Keep it to attempt to pay for your own disasters

The governor takes cares of it means the governor petitions immediately for federal disaster funds or accepts them if the president authorizes the funds to go out.

FEMA is there to coordinate and oversee the federal response and money. Cutting it out doesn’t mean the federal benefits go away.  It means the money goes right to these red-state governors to misdirect and misuse.  The point is to reduce oversight and accountability.

CBS reports. Um, this is way the cargo load of a C-17. Why not just use Spirit Airlines like they used to? And they only lost two people. Yay?

"Meanwhile, a defense official said there were two flights overnight. Both went to Guatemala, according to two sources, and carried 81 deportees. However, a Guatemalan official said 79 Guatemalans had been returned, 31 women and 48 men. 

Leavitt stated, "The Trump Administration also deported hundreds of illegal immigrant criminals via military aircraft. The largest massive deportation operation in history is well underway."

At 80 deportees per plane ride, it’s going to take 137,500 flights or almost 377 flights per day to get all those undocumented immigrants out of the country over the next year. Efficient, indeed. As you pointed out, chartering a 737 or A320 is going to be a lot cheaper than using a military C-17 and at a 50% load factor, we’re giving these folks a comfortable ride back to their home country.

Or some oligarch kicks in $100 million into a Trump crypto coin or whatever.  Shit, maybe they just hand the money over to Trump on TV; it's not like anything is going to happen to either of them

Yeah a while back I figured out that even if they could deport 1000 immigrants per day, 7 days a week, it would take something like 33 years to deport 12,000,000 immigrants.

It rasies the question that if we (states) are going to be decoupled from a federal umbrella of protection with respect to natural disasters (i.e. FEMA), then what are we really doing here as a republic? I guess we still have the overarching need of a singular military and an economic engine as the sum of the parts is greater than if we had 4 or 5 balkanized countries by region (e.g. Confederacy Redux, PNW, New Yorkia, etc.), but we are seemingly content to erode any other value of having a federal government if we continue down this path...

A C-17 costs about $25,000 per flight hour (internet search). Houston to Guatemala City is about a 3-hour flight.

Fine with me, every disaster going forward is gonna be political depending on whether it's a red or blue state, and the "low tax" red states are the ones taking more federal money than they're paying in anyway. I'm pretty much on board now with shrinking the federal government to basically nothing for that reason too. Let the low tax shitholes crumble, I'm gonna pretty much be forced to move to a blue state anyways.

What I'm waiting for is for the authorities to go after the REAL, BIG-TIME criminals.

Bust a migrant worker here and there?  Psshaw.  That's child's play.  Go after the big-timers: the people who employ them by the thousands.  Until this regime starts arresting employers and charging them with a stack of federal crimes for illegally employing undocumented workers, we'll know that it's just for show and they aren't serious AT ALL about "solving immigration."

And we know they won't.  Because they don't care about immigration in the least.  They just care about performative bullshit, punching down at the weak and then claiming you're a badass because you arrested some busboys.

Red states will still receive federal funding under this proposal. But Trump can’t undo legislation by EOs

Lol. The Dems can't explain the grift in a way that makes news coverage, much less on the networks the idiots watch, for half the country to even SEE. Much less UNDERSTAND. 

Just accept we're broken. I already think about the ways I teach my kid about America just being a place his parents had to live. 

Pssst, they've already seen the evidence in sunlight. They either don't care or become willfully obtuse or both.

 

My resignation about the election is largely because the electorate chose or acquiesced to something they could clearly see. Clearly. We are indeed broken on the rocks of greed, hate, and idiocy.

Since Fla La and Tx receive the lion share of funds, the efficient thing to do is to give them all of the disaster money to keep safe and use as needed, and the other states can ask them for funds when needed.  Flawless system is without flaw.
