Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is reportedly working frantically to reverse many of the budget cuts and bureaucratic red tape that Noem had implemented at Trump's command.
Trump's decision to gut FEMA has left the United States vulnerable to upcoming natural disasters — and now Trump is scrambling to fix a problem he created.

Rhetorical questions, but they did think that with the independent and coequal branches of government a new king could be avoided.
The sad fact is that the Constitution is just a piece of paper unless you have people of moral character and integrity to uphold it.
So here we are with the current GOP, though decades in the making.
Well, they’re not REALLY rhetorical questions. They’re actual questions. With answers, I’m imagining, ranging from somewhere between a simple “No,” to, “Yes, this was discussed and debated a lot, but we ended up with that solution because, ________.”
I wrote “rhetorical” as the answers should be obvious, and I do agree with you.

Uh, tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes occurred before FEMA was created.
But it is instructive to see how lefties think - you believe a massive federal bureacracy can stop a hurricane.

Uh, I'm rather certain it is against the rules to change a post - but regardless, none of what you wrote here makes any sense.

Having said that, I certainly do acknowledge that devising an airtight system of checks and balances is way harder than just uttering the phrase.
Nonetheless, it seems that there are “flaws” that are nearly unavoidable - like the people electing a Congress that refuses to use their checking power. And then there are flaws that might be entirely avoidable, like putting DOJ entirely under the control of a president who wants to be a king.

You do know what FEMA is and should be doing?

Sorry, more precisely: The red South, hurricanes, AND MAGA CHEERING THE DESTRUCTION OF FEMA, go along quite nicely.

Graham Platner’s Wife Flagged Sexually Explicit Texts to His Senate Campaign
The wife of the Maine Democratic Senate candidate last year told the campaign about texts she had found between Platner and other womenDays after Graham Platner announced his Maine Senate bid, his wife informed the campaign about a potential political problem she had previously discovered on the oyster farmer’s phone: sexually explicit texts with several women, according to people familiar with the matter.
Amy Gertner, who married Platner in 2023, told the campaign about messages she had found early in their marriage in the spring of 2025. In late August, as some aides were conducting opposition research on their own candidate, Gertner disclosed the texts to a campaign aide to make sure they didn’t pose a risk to her husband’s nascent campaign, those people said. The campaign had been preparing for a major rally over Labor Day weekend last year with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who was set to officially endorse Platner at the event.
You'd NEVER vote for someone who cheats on all his wives and makes crude comments about women, right?

I posted the purpose of FEMA, and it was deleted.

Am I missing something, or are there no penalties whatsoever when a president and members of his administration blatantly violate the Constitution?
Impeachment, conviction, and removal--which is a political and not legal process.

Here's some incredibly stupid nonsense from the right. Did you read what you posted?
