Even Trump-Loving Mississippi Can't Get FEMA Aid

1 week ago | crooksandliars.com | Red Painter

Donald Trump really hates giving money away - even when it isn't his money. FEMA seems to be a big target and he has cut off any funding to states, even ones that fully support him and are truly in need. Example: Mississippi. In March of this year, close to 20 tornadoes devastated the very red Trump supporting state. Seven people lost their lives and hundreds of homes were damaged or completely lost. Communities were decimated, utilities cut off, roads damaged, business and schools lost.
Trump To Pardon Reality TV Stars Todd And Julie Chrisley

I found a Republican, makeup wearing, reality tv show star who was convicted of fraud and tax evasion. Actually, two. And they do not have the last name Trump. But they do love him and, apparently, birds of a feather really DO stick together....because Trump just pardoned them. Todd and Julie Chrisley, famous for “Chrisley Knows Best,” were charged in 2019 (under Trump's first administration) for a variety of crimes linked to bank fraud and tax evasion.
Beloved Trump-Supporting Immigrant Pastor Is Finding Out

1 week ago | crooksandliars.com | Red Painter

Tell me if you have heard this story. An immigrant comes to America illegally, but does all the right things: stays out of trouble, gets a job, has a family, pays taxes. He decides to support Donald Trump because he is one of the "good immigrants" and Republicans are only going to get rid of the "criminals, rapists, drug dealers and murderers" and you will be spared. Until you are not.
Trump Loving Dairy Farmers Suddenly Realize They Need Immigrants

Farmers overwhelmingly supported Donald Trump and it appears they may be realizing their mistake - or they will shortly. Way back in December, Governor Tony Evers expressed concern over Trump's deportation plans, specifically because they would negatively impact his state's agriculture and farming industries. Well, it looks like Vermont farmers may be feeling the same regret.

Donald Trump faced yet another loss in court on Friday, this one related to his continued attempts to find ways to punish Harvard for defying his attempts to get them to bow to his will. He is FURIOUS. This time he tried to block them from accepting any international students.
Sam Alito And His Pal Are Just Fine Denying Due Process To Migrants

Donald Trump's fascist regime has lost in court again - this time in the Supreme Court where the majority of justices granted a preliminary injunction that extends a pause on deportations immigrants from Venezuela under the false invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. Two justices dissented, arguing that they should have just stood by while migrants were deported.
Trump Kills 'Digital Equity Act' Which Has Nothing To Do With DEI

3 weeks ago | crooksandliars.com | Red Painter

The racist, homophobic, misogynistic and anti-trans Trump administration hates the words "equity" or "equality" because they assume it means it negatively impacts White, straight, conservative men, the most discriminated against group ever (sarcasm font). So what is their latest panic - the Digital Equity Act. And when they saw the word "equity" they panicked and cut funding to the program. But, this program actually would cut off millions in funding to deep red Trump country. Oops.
Brian Kemp Not Running For Georgia Senate, Paving The Way For MTG

1 month ago | crooksandliars.com | Red Painter

The Georgia Senate race took a crazy turn this week when Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declared that he will NOT run for Senate next year, which could have made the race against Jon Ossoff even more competitive. Republicans were not super happy, as he was a solid candidate for them to run since he already has a very solid reputation in the state that he has led for years. Republicans in Congress were hoping to flip the seat in 2026.

Emmitsbury, Maryland (population 2,855) in northern Maryland (just near the border of Pennsylvania) had a lot of Republican voters. It is a small town whose claim to fame is that it houses the National Fire Academy, which is in charge of training the entire United States' firefighters and first responders. Due to cuts to the federal government thanks to DOGE, they are in the Finding Out Phase of FAFO. And they are not happy...but still love King Donald Trump.
