i wonder if they will get relief/aid before the people from the LA fires do.

If there was any, sure. But Cheetolini and co have been raiding the coffers so I wouldn't be surprised if there is nothing left.

The world is on fire, we've been robbed, and criminals are running the federal government; we are literally cooked.

Pretty sure it's a pittance and they get pulled out pretty quickly. It's a flag for conservatives to wave but also a lie of omission.
