Yup, Texas said "no" and tried to deny aid after Sandy hit to the northeast.

literally every single time a vote for such a thing comes up all of the conservative states vote against it and then the moment a natural disaster hits their red states they come crying to daddy Fed with their hands out waiting on that sweet sweet socialism

this is exactly the way conservative minds work. if the government is providing something they don't need, it's a total waste of money to support handouts for the lazy, but the moment THEY can benefit from or need it, it becomes a beacon of civilized society.

Please dont ever follow our example on anything not related to defending the Alamo or Tex-mex food.

To be fair, I'm sure Texas sent out lots of thoughts and prayers and we shouldn't ignore that

Rand Paul reflexively votes for whats the worst for as many people as possible at every opportunity.

Should we all do that too?

idk, I remember the news when Louisiana got hit by Katrina and a bunch of volunteers from Mexico were trying to offer aid and the people in LA were like "Nope don't want any help from a bunch of Mexicans".

Really embarrassing thing.

How much you guys want to bet Texans will return to their seceding talks the moment this is all over, in a week or two?

Oh maybe it was Cuba

And the State Department rejected it lol.
idk I remember some people upset that Mexico specifically was trying to help. Like just be gracious for the aid.
