...did you see that pork ridden disaster relief bill he passed with Dem votes?

I missed that.
I thought it was a straight-up $9B for the flood insurance program that some Republicans objected to only because there weren't offsets in other budgetary items. What pork was in this bill?

I think you are right,
Earlier I was watching FNC and they were talking about the pork in the first bill and the Club For Growth against this and a number of House Republicans like Ryan voting against this recent bill, and I came to that false conclusion that it was all in the same final bill.

It looks like this is a scaled down version without the pork that the Senate will automatically pass without the normal procedure. So this is a win not a loss.
