Every False Rumor On The FEMA Website
As a public service, here are nine hurricane disaster rumors concocted between October 3rd and today (10/09), currently being spread online by people who find the need to pull alternative facts out of their A-Double-Scribbles. The list can be found here at the FEMA Rumor Response website along with explanations.
Some people have apparently found it completely necessary to scare the living bejeesus out of “MAGA Snowflakes.” No, I didn’t coin that term, but I wish I had.
▪︎ FEMA will only provide $750 to disaster survivors to support their recovery.
▪︎ FEMA is blockading people in Florida and preventing evacuations.
▪︎ FEMA only provides loans to disaster survivors.
▪︎ Applying multiple times for disaster assistance will speed up the process of being approved.
▪︎FEMA is no longer accepting applications for housing assistance.
▪︎ FEMA does not have enough money to provide disaster assistance for Helene.
▪︎ FEMA is asking for cash donations and turning away volunteers.
▪︎ Funding for FEMA disaster response was diverted to support international efforts or border related issues.
▪︎ FEMA is confiscating donations for survivors.
I know. These rumors are absolutely unbelievable and one wonders how anyone can swallow these lies made out of whole cloth. But then they tell me the whole presidential election is a tossup and is anybody’s to win. So if you need an explanation, there’s that.
No lie is too damaging for the Qgop and the trumpf campaign to push for a few votes. Nothing is off limits to them.
1And according to 3 brain cells MTG, the libs used their devious science to create hurricanes Helene and Milton. I’ll add to the conspiracy- in an effort to wipe mar a lago into the Atlantic.
2I heard this the other day. How many Republicans does it take to change a light bulb? Zero. Trump told them only he could do it, so they sit in the dark and clap!
3Steve from Beaverton, seems to me that not too long ago the the MAGAts were blaming the hurricanes on the godlessness of the people in Florida who supported a woman’s right to make her own medical decisions. (I refuse to say “right to choose”–that decision is seldom a “choice”.)
But now that Florida has an abortion ban they like, *of course* the Dems have to be controlling the weather; surely god wouldn’t mean to punish their favorite orange shitgibbon, would she?
4People are saying…
FEMA is telling people to evacuate so they can move undocumented immigrants into their homes. So the immigrants can vote for Harris.
Kind of like “Invasion of the Republican Snatchers.”
5Rick –
As a person who has seen both movies and is a fan of the Donald Sutherland remake, I stand & applaud you.
6Don’t forget the great lithium robbery.
I own quite a bit of stock in the mine that the gummint allegedly has seized. You’d think that would makes the stock price go down, but marvelous to relate, the price is way up (though still way down from a couple years ago).
7The depths of stupid have yet to be plumbed.
8We’re seeing a lot of that put up in our local social media info groups…always by people none of us has ever met and if you look at their facebook page they clearly don’t exist. FEMA is here and helping people, the federal, state, and local governments are all working together, and as I type, another Chinook helicopter flies overhead to take relief to an area where the road is washed out.
Katherine…I’d say the depths of perfidy have yet to be plumbed. it’s intentional, rather than fueled by stupidity.
9How much of this disinformation can be traced back to his Moscow buddies??
