Summary

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) argued that California does not deserve federal aid for its deadly Los Angeles wildfires unless the state adopts changes.

In a Newsmax interview, Tuberville criticized California leadership, falsely attributing wildfire mismanagement to “inner-city woke policies.”

While he expressed willingness to support some funding, he insisted it be conditional on reforms.

The wildfires have killed 24 people and destroyed thousands of homes, per the Associated Press, intensifying debates on state accountability and federal disaster relief.

    If I’m still alive when Trump finally meets the scales of justice, I’m going to attach a helium balloon to my (currently flagless) flagpole, and put the flag on the balloon. That way it can be more than full mast.

      I haven’t decided how I’m going to celebrate, but a celebration will be had. I’m hoping to hear fireworks for a week after it happens.

        I will shit on his grave at some point in my life.

        Maybe that’ll be my retirement plan.

          I figure they should install a urinal right over top of it, since I think there would be a constant line of people wanting to piss on it.
