As a Houstonian, I don’t particularly want the feds in here. I figure that they’ll just make things more complicated while lining their pockets. We and Texas know how to take care of ourselves...and way too many others (see: Katrina).

That said, because George W. Bush had such a pansy, anemic ability to defend himself, he capitulated in the face of unwarranted criticism to his government’s response and shoved untold billions of dollars into NOLA after Katrina. As we know, there was immense graft that came with that money. HOWEVER, Bush set the precedent for federal disaster response that no President will ever be able to go against again.

Trump knows this, and he’s got more important fish to fry. And his party in Congress are a bunch of uncooperative, subversive, limp-dicked assholes to him and the American people. If he steamrolls them in a situation like this, I don’t care. And he gets to say that he was “bipartisan” and then hold that up against both sides when it serves his purpose. My only regret is that he didn’t use an actual steamroller on them.

I don’t think PRyno gas EVER passed a budget.

I was going to write that down also since he just signed continuing resolutions of the U.S. Budget every year with that American Hating, Narcissist, Marxist, Imposter after the Drunkard John Boehner quit.

You are 100% correct that Paul Ryan needs to go as the Speaker period.

Dennis Hastert, John Boehner, and now Paul Ryan as Speakers of the Peoples House. No wonder we are over $20 Trillion in debt with around $17 Trillion or so coming the last 16 years.

Trump working with the Dems is a good Idea.They can help him get a lot of his agenda passed. The Gop has always been full of un American snakes.
