Biden approves disaster relief funding for the state of Texas (without winning that state and without blaming them for not being prepared)?

have we ever had another President deny emergency disaster aid? I don't ever recall it happening before.

Between 1991 and 2011, presidents approved more than 85 percent of governors' disaster requests. During that period, the states most likely to be denied disaster declarations were Connecticut (39 percent), Arizona (37 percent), Texas (35 percent) and Rhode Island (33 percent), according to a Stateline analysis of documents obtained under the federal Freedom of Information Act.

Disappointed governors may see politics at work when their requests fall flat, but the numbers tell a different story. According to Stateline's analysis, Democratic presidents denied requests from Republican governors 53 times and Democratic governors 44 times. Republican presidents turned down requests from fellow Republicans 49 times and from Democrats 43 times. Republicans held the majority of governorships between 1995 and 2007, and again after the 2010 elections.

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Trump did everything he could to divide the country as part of his divide and conquer strategy.  Glad to see Biden not buying into that philosophy.

Good Lord Jesus. Are you blind? Trump, the MSM, social media, the Dems & some GOP, Hollywood, Russia, China, ANTIFA, BLM, Pretty Boys, have been doing it and will continue to do it. Biden certainly is going with it, as well. He just uses other people to do the work so he can attempt the imagine of ‘cool gramps’. It won’t last that long.

Pretty Boys?

Personal preference or did you think you were posting on one of the Dark Web sites that you frequent?

I'm not judging.  You do you.

Trump has been a unique President in many ways, about 99% of those horrifically.

Yeah, it’s happened many times before. That said, I can’t recall a time when it happened as a result of political retribution. Weaponizing emergency aid became a thing under Trump. And even if he relented and eventually allowed it, he made inappropriate scathing comments about those who received it.

Well, I am a Yank (at least so the natives tell me), Texas going purple really doesnt bother me, I have made my thoughts on the current cluster+++++ pretty clear, and clearly you dont have the bandwidth to understand what was so funny.  I could explain it to you, but I cant help you understand.

 

Other than that...

Please, we all know you are the biggest righty on the board.

Goes Convert, RSF, Bob, and Soup.  In that order.

And proud of it muuuutthhaaa fuuuccckkkaaa. There has to be some attempt at balance on this board although it consists of a pebble on one side of the fulcrum and a boulder on the other side.

Totally fair.  When this board had more conservatives than Liberals (no offense top25)  It was good to see democrats around.

Now that it's about 3-1 liberal to conservative it is good to see Republicans.

It’s difficult for me to believe this board was ever conservative dominant. When was that?

Back when conservatives knew how to read. 

Planning is an exercise of power, and in a modern state much real power is suffused with boredom. The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open. The audience is asleep. The modern world is forged amidst our inattention.
