North Carolina will receive less than 1 percent of the federal funds it requested to cover damages associated with Hurricane Matthew, which hit the East Coast in October.

    Anyone trying to politicize any disaster is an absolute piece of garbage.

      Hard disagree, many disasters were directly caused by political decisions. Such as the severity and frequency of the last decade of hurricanes. We chose to make them that severe, actively, wantonly chose that. It should be political.

        Going to agree with you here, if the people who decide disaster relief are elected or controlled by elected officials, it is inherently political. Was this not the same year that the ex president insulted himself by calling the president of Puerto Rico names do to his response to a hurricane. You know, the same hurricane they obstructed relief funding for

        This article is pointing out something Trump did while in office, hence it’s “far-left” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Its the truth. It happened. Pointing out how a dolt45 handled assistance for a hurricane in 2017 is just fact. It is also a fact that Biden isn’t playing a childish game like that. He is getting the help where its needed. Its not right vs left. Its right vs wrong.

      Trump invited it by lying and saying Biden isn’t offering any help.

      But also yes.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
