Anyone else think there should be some kind of Nuremberg trial for these people?
Hey all, you can go here to find out who your representatives in the House and Senate are and then just type "(person name) official contact" in to your search engine to find out how to email them and let them know what you think of their vote. I sent two angry emails and, surprisingly, one thankful one.
The reason they voted against it is because alot of other things where bundled in the bill. Congress should put forth a bill for FEMA funding only so that they could help people

wait until you figure out that literally every funding bill for everything has earmarked funding in basically every category.
It's also not uncommon to push through a large monolithic funding bill since it's simply easier than managing like 12 different pieces of legislation instead.
How can someone check what else was in this h bill? Genuinely curious.
It's hella long so you can just skim it, but the actual text is here

Fuck Florida is what our planet is saying. With the things we do, and all the things we ignore, Florida will be gone in like a hundred years. There ate people who are making things worse, and i really don't know how we will recover.

And now we are going to see if those same Republicans vote against FEMA funding before Milton hits and does destruction to the 'Happiest Place On Earth' in Orlando' and are going to need to be voted out a month from now (if their seat is up for election this year).
