(2) to turn their attention to category 5 hurricane Irma.

My guess is that the disaster relief fund (fema) is already focussing on hurricane irma when harvey hasnt even been dealt with

does FEMA help at all with the wildfires that the west is getting burned on? Because that would also create more issues.

Katia is a tropical depression out in the Gulf, expected to hit Tropical Storm in a few days. Might not move much, only hit eastern Mexico.

Smokey literally said the opposite. He's always made it clear that forest fires are YOUR fault.

Actually he only said that *you* could PREVENT forest fires. Once they happen, lol tough shit bro, you're on your own

Run to smokey for help. He will just eat you. His habitat is shrinking.

Smokey has no funding. Wtf do you want him to do about It? lol
GTVH
We have no bear necessities...
themooseof603
where should we get the funding?
slipperwhale
I mean I support our troops and all...but we have a bigger defense budget than like half of the world put together......
themooseof603
and we also defend many countries with basically no military power without our backing and North Korea is trying to build nukes

Maybe raise taxes on the rich? Maybe stop spending so much on war? Sorry if you were joking.
themooseof603
so spend less on defense while North Korea tests nukes?
themooseof603
also despite what imgur believes the rich do pay taxes , at even a higher rate than anyone else
HitachiMagicWand
We're gonna make Mexico pay for it!
themooseof603
as if Mexico has fire money, they're already paying for the wall and probably the war with N.Korea
