Who is threatening to hurt Indiana? Who has taken FEMA away from states the Felon doesn't like?

Not the Democrats. Not in the past, not now and not in the future. The Democrats have been there after natural disasters, with FEMA funds and in the trenches. Almost every single democratic policy has been for the greater good. Not punishment, not vindictiveness. Republicans may not agree with every policy but no way can they say it was done out of meanness. Never, meanness.

Can you say the same about this administration, this President or the Organization that is controlling the Whitehouse, both Legislative bodies and the Supreme Court.
Heritage is so close to achieving their final plan, they can taste it. But Indiana is a small bump in the road. Sure, redistricting would be a nice accomplishment but more importantly, their are some independent Republicans that are standing up to the Felon and the big concern is the possibility of more Republicans coming to their senses.
