    Hey approximately half of America’s voting grownups – you have free-will and you really don’t have to vote for these deliberately incompetent R assholes.

    To those in Georgia, North Carolina and Florida thinking about giving Trump another chance: Mike Johnson is telling you who Republicans are. Believe him.

    That’s going to overwhelmingly fuck over more of his type of constituent. Whatever, lol

  5. This is all part of the plan from that 5’4″ weasel fk He’s dragging his feet on hurricane aid, just trying to stall things until November to make the Biden/Harris administration look as bad as possible.

  6. Meanwhile we get to hear about how democrats haven’t personally come to your job to force your boss to give you a better paycheck.

  7. We all know Trump is directing this activity, so what makes you think he won’t monkey with FEMA actions in the future to punish states?

  8. Jesus Christ. This is like saying, “Yeah, I can give you CPR. Just let me finish eating my steak.”

    Dear America please vote these scum of earth out. You have the chance right now to turn this page and progress towards an even bigger and brighter future.

  10. Being a Republican politician seems like an awesome job. Nothing is ever your fault. You get filthy rich. And you can’t lose your job almost no matter what.

    Weird how this and the border security bill aren’t so urgent to them. 

    But they’re counting on the fact that a lot of people don’t follow the news of the house.

    The fact that I’ve seen more urgency about hurricane relief from professional wrestling companies than the fucking Speaker of the House is appalling in a way I’m struggling to articulate

  13. The really fucked up bit is that the Speaker is from Louisiana. He better hope karma doesn’t come too quickly…

    A whole bunch of Floridians are, once again, about to go on the news and say “They’re not hurting the right people!”

    Again.

  15. These people would cut off their left arm if you promised them by doing so they could cut off the right arm of “those people”. Bonus points if they could then give those arms to people who really need them, the super rich.

    What state is he from? Oh yeah, Louisiana. Good luck with that ahole. Hurricanes go around and come around again.

  17. Johnson keeps doing this. I have never seen a speaker seem so unbothered by natural disasters.

  18. It’s not going to wait. It’s just not going to happen when Trump loses the election. They want to see how this plays out.

    Im sure all the people who lost their homes and all their possessions are totalllly fine with you taking your time. Its not like this is your job or anything.

  20. Translation: It can wait until after the election so that Republicans don’t have to look bad because of how they’ve voted on this either now or in the past.

    President Biden should use his presidential power to convene Congress during an emergency.

  22. Even_Establishment95 on

    He’s making the excuse that they haven’t calculated how much exactly is needed? Why would it be a bad thing if you overspend on helping during a disaster? These people don’t care about you. Wake up.

  23. Americans should clearly understand that these are orders given by Trump which republicans will follow. When are Americans going to comprehend that the Republican Party works solely for Trump and follow his orders. Republicans do not represent or fight for Americans. It’s a shame that so many Americans hit by these hurricanes will now suffer even more because Trump is so evil.

    It’s truly amazing how they do this so brazenly out in the open and still get voted back in time after time.
