“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.

    Thanks for the information. Interesting reading up on this experiment. Wikipedia have several good sources. Seems many of these people forget the “personal responsibility” part of their (deranged) ideology.

      Libertarians in general are special breed of ignorance, selfishness, lies, and zero empathy. Qualities we all have to some degree, but when ramped up to 11, it’s a disaster.
