  1. Republicans relationships are purely transactional.

    Best way to describe the differences between left and right is, the left wants things that help the masses weather or not it directly helps them, the right wants things that help themselves or hurts people that don’t look like them.

  3. Of course he ain’t fucking wrong there. All of those Republicans out there oughta be just so got damn stupid AND way out of their motherfucking minds for demanding any kinds of TOTALLY UNRELATED conditions to be put on all of that disaster relief for California. And uhhh……just look. If they really do wanna help out in sending out much needed relief to all of California, well then, ummm……that’s good. I’m all up for it. BUT they just really cannot throw in any kind of stupid ass conditions to that said disaster relief too.

    Like……for real, for real. They really should just throw the conditions right out of the window and save them for another time when it’s appropriate enough for them to take care of it.

  4. This man has made it his life’s mission to get the funding that 9/11 first responders deserved. Here’s hoping he takes up this cause as well because he calls out lawmakers in the way they need to be called out, loudly and in plain terms.

  8. Depends what the strings are. 

    If a city is building tons of homes on a flood plain, has no infrastructure in place to limit the risk of o flood, and then experiences a flood, I don’t see why it is unreasonable to attach strings on relief money ensuring proper risk mitigation.

  10. I wouldn’t give them $100 million without knowing it’s going to be spent too help victims and to build reservoirs and pay more firefighters and not spent on useless shit like paying that fat ass in the video $350k has a diversity chief who thinks people shouldn’t get themselves in situations where they need to be carried!! wtf!!! Enough

  11. Republicans hate their own mothers for being communists.

  12. is this really that surprising? The same thing happened during California wildfires during Trump’s last term, and when Puerto Rico suffered hurricane damage. Everything with the GOP is a quid pro quo, and an excuse to further divide the country.

  13. Oh Gee when the want provisions on Florida hurricanes or floods in Texas and Louisiana bet not because they are Republican

  14. Maybe they should be tried for terrorism? Woohoo!
