"Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."
Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.
In every single one of these stories, the reporters need to be asking whether it was the racism or the fascism that appealed more to these voters. Inquiring minds want to know and we shouldn't let them off the hook or worse, to cry for our sympathy.
I'm sure they'll just give the old "Keeping immigrants out, jobs for Americans" crap line. No one ever believes they're the bad guy.
So it is both!
Everyone knows the parts of the federal government they have involvement with aren't all that wasteful. The sad truth is we're very, very far away from conservative voters realizing the rest of the government is about the same, and the wealthy just use the idea of wasteful spending as a red herring to distract from their taxes being unsustainably low.
Man didn't think fire fighters were maga. My outlook has completely changed
Lots are
Firefighters might do an important job, but they are still just people
Same as nurses and teachers. There are still plenty of stupid and ignorant ones out there
while I'm grateful they exist, and respect their work I've known a few firefighters in my time, and I wouldn't exactly say they were the brightest of folks.
Yep
Me too
Theyre being fed lies
Convenient lies that they wouldn't believe unless they didn't want to
My father is a simpleton. He believes whatever suits his ignorance.
There are too many people like him
Let's hear it for fire!
Make America greatly ablaze!
Link…? There’s no source here
Didn't you see the picture of the guy looking sad? What more proof do you need?!?
Fixed. Sorry.
But it's not like I didn't include the quote of the headline to find the story.

Dude. Are we living in an age of misinformation and disinformation or are you the lone person not overreacting? Because I think we are living in an age of misinformation and disinformation.
Ease off the gas dude. He forgot a link. It happens.
No gas at all. Pumping the brakes in fact. Forgetting a link happens, and they were quick to address it, which is why I was just gently pushing back on their minimization of the need for a link.
Forgetting a link is innocent, the thought process the suggests that an image alone can be informative, and that a link might be in some way redundant; in this age that is insidious and should be called out before it takes hold. You’re welcome to feel I’m overreacting, but I will politely disagree with you.
This, truth, isn’t going to get any easier any time soon, and folks who care about it need to look out for each other with accountability.
Oops! I'll fix it now!
All good!
Silly leopards...not my face!
Maybe we needed a cull.
Womp womp
Such complete morons.
He looks like he'd get worn out just getting into the fire truck.
Vigilant Hose?
