Kentuckians are lucky to have President Biden - trump would give Kentucky the “trump Puerto Rico emergency package” the only difference might be that in place of a roll of paper towels trump would give KY a trash bag either way Melania wouldn’t care…

Mr. President sanction the Democrat and Republicans fighting against your climate change bill, especially Manchin,

Where is 'Superman Mitch' when he's needed?

Joe only wants to give relief to democrats or people that might vote for him

flightbomb You should have RandPaul vote to approve it. I mean, when those “blue” states got slammed it was a problem. I have a problem with your votes. Plus why does Kentucky receive $30+ billion in federal $$ and don’t pay a dime into the feds? You’re a taker, not a contributor

Emergency declarations have been more and more common. We must stand together and do something to heal the broken nature.

Trump would have only helped states that supported him. We all know that's how he operates. Look how he treated Puerto Rico.

Biden’s doing his job & that’s why we elect a potus, to do is job for all states, for all Americans.

How much money should we give Kentucky? Wrong time to say it, but Kentucky has sucked billions from us.

So tired of politicians trying to take the credit for disaster relief. It’s we the people who pay for this. Their just a rubber stamp. Smh

Feather my feet and set me to giggling! He didn't shake anybody down! 🤠

Well this Real President stepped up to help folks....not just throw paper towels to them like that previous piece of......

Has Governor Inslee asked for Federal assistant for Washington state, we were flooded twice in November and urgently need help.

U mean? He DIDN'T do a Quid Pro Quo!?

looser of the year

Socialist

This is how a president does business. The FG would call a blue state the enemy, and be done with it. So, Kentucky, you will be getting much of the tax dollars paid into the Feds by the highly populated blue states that pay the most taxes.

There is no way Mitch will be found on a flight to Cancun.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 This is how REAL AMERICAN PATRIOTIC Presidents are supposed to act when Natural disasters strike our fellow country folk! Not play narcissistic partisan games with federal aid and people’s lives while demanding oaths of fealty like some mad King George III.

Thank you President Biden, you are true to every American. Every legislature should vote for your BBA plan. This disaster is directly related to Global Warming. We need to tx corp’s & 1% of the wealthy to invest 3.5 trill dollars in our country to get ahead of future disasters.

Isn’t it nice to not hear “they need to ask me nicely “ or “I’ll help , even though they didn’t vote for me” ? This is what we voted for. Decency

Wait what? No restrictions put in place in order to receive emergency relief? No what can you do for me? No show me loyalty?

grandfather Joe...

blames global warming fjb

Thank his aids for that help. Without them he couldn't get out of bed in the morning, or for that matter have a coherent speech.

Gotta love when they do it the right way like this

Thank you for helping theose poor ppl .now finish the job and help poor on ssi

Support OLA &TDF

You are looking at the Last White male Democrat Party President that Will only be one term especially if Donald is Not the Republican nominee. The First Woman President of the USA could be a Republican if she is a moderate. I would vote for her. I didn't vote for Hillary.

I'm, underwhelmed with this strong message. The laughter from the kooks on the right is getting louder.

And not one time did he ask if they were red or blue states! Not one time did he demand to be praised for his emergency help! Not once did we have to listen to how wonderful he is! Just help for our fellow Americans😍❤️😍

Amazing how it takes a natural disaster for our so called 'president' to do something for our own country for once.

How nice, though they don't acknowledge Biden as President he still bails them out now that's a great leader. Mayfield will officially be Built Back Better.

Let's go Brandon
