You fell for it again award
Its pathetic that the Fayetteville area goes red.
Yes, but not surprising. I'm in Rogers and it was very obvious that there was no shot for Harris, even though I see plenty of cool bumper stickers and pride flags outside houses.

This is how trump rewards people who voted for him.
People need to understand he doesn't care about ANYONE that doesn't have millions of dollars.
I have empathy for those in the state South of us. But very little sympathy. Your population of morons voted for this. Just like ours did. You get what you voted for. So have the day you voted for.
I would feel SO much better if they even had an inkling that they have done this to their own selves.
Dumb fucks are down there buried in rubble and blaming Obama.
My realtor thinks everything is Biden’s fault
Why do you do business with them? You can vote with your wallet with a hell of a lot of the transactions that occur in your daily life.
Because I didn’t know in the beginning and now the process is almost done. I’m not sacrificing my first house because I want to stick it to one misguided individual who is too susceptible to propaganda
I hope you at least give him a hearty "fuck you" right after the ink dries at closing, though.

That's definitely the most frustrating part about this. They will turn around and gleefully blame the victims of this. Rather than taking responsibility themselves.
Even while they ARE the victims
Small point of distinction. If you throw yourself into a wood chipper you aren't a victim of the wood chipper. Just your own hubris. But otherwise I agree absolutely.
Excellent distinction.

Will Republicans ever learn not to vote for Republicans?
They're not voting for Republicans. They're voting against Democrats. And, no, they will never learn.
Nope. They’ve inbred themselves too far into stupidity.

This is in preparation for California wildfires.
He's setting precedent with an exponentially smaller disaster in a red state, as political cover for future denial of relief funds for the much larger Blue State seasonal disasters.
Conservatives do not rely on and do not need precedent.
Aren't you happy you voted trump?
I'm sure these people are defending trump, still, saying it's for the best. Trump could just piss in their mouth and they'd say "that k you master for refreshing me!"
they better say thank you

They'll blame liberals and vote for Trump. I'd bet money on it.
Look, I do not relish in other people's suffering. But at some point there is only so much I can do and say, before the fruits of your choices are 110% on you.
This is obviously a statement on the vocal majority of the region. For those that aren't idiot assholes and are suffering, I am sorry and please let us know what we can do.
ms huckabee rolling back child labor laws should solve some of the problems, right republicans.
I tried, but voting Democrat in Arkansas is just pissing in the wind.
We're getting what we deserve, and reaping what we've sown. Don't pity us.
Nobody who voted D deserves it.
Hello from little rock
Thoughts and prayers
Time to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps.
Climate change is fake news.
The storm is fake news.
Nobody died, its all staged.
So many crisis actors. It must have cost Biden a fortune.
You guys are getting paid?

So much winning!
I’m sad to see it, but this is what they voted for. This is what republicans have been fighting for for years, decades even, and Arkansas’ entire federal delegation is republican.
Republicans deny aid as well, he can't do any of this alone.
You get what you voted for. You asked for a president who came out and said point blank that he does not care about you and only cares about your vote. Your hatred and stupidity brought you here now own it while we all point and shake our heads.
ms huckabee, you were once part of his administration then he threw you under the bus.
