Texans Want te Rest of Us to Pay for Their Disaster, and Other Snarky News

Not Fake News Here

Fake news would be something like "Donnie Trump today boasted that his administration had the biggest natural disaster every to hit America. "Other Presidents have tried to have bigger natural disasters" he did not say, and went on to not say "history will look back and report that no President was ever as big a natural disaster as Trump was, it is huuggeee".

1. Texas is a very wealthy state, in part because they have low taxes and low services. This means that wealthy folks get a break because they don't typically use government services and low income folks get shafted because many suffer through no fault of their own. Blessed with natural resources (Republicans think Texas has oil because God favors conservatives) the state has prospered.

But now it faces a huge bill to clean up and rebuild from Harvey. They will get help from the feds, because that's what we non-conservatives do, pay taxes to help other people. But you know, rich Texans could be grateful and could shoulder some of the bill themselves instead of electing cretans like Ted Cruz who are twisting themselves into a knot to explain why they voted against aid for Hurricane Sandy victims but want aid for themselves.

2. We'd all feel a lot better about the FEMA head if he would not start every news appearance off with a gushy praising of Trumpie.

3. The CHI program Children Health Insurance Program needs to be renewed. Anyone wanna bet the only votes against doing so will be Republicans?

4. College football starts and the list of people who still believe it is amateur athletics is dwindling to those few who have a quit claim deed for the Brooklyn Bridge.

5. The solution to the mystery of he popularity of Game of Thrones continues to elude. Maybe it's the beautiful designer wardrobe the female leads wear in the middle of a world whose culture and technology has only advanced to medieval status.

6. Trump's strategy of trying to intimidate North Korea is working about as well as his other strategies. Ok, we realize it is not correct to say Trump has strategies, but we're trying to give the guy a break. After he has a wife who thinks its cool to wear high heels to a flood.

7. Can we please get a Democrat to give up whatever it is they are doing and appear on a news or news talk show. Anyone? Even Bernie has gone to ground.

8. The current administration is resuming the practice of sending military gear, and we mean military gear like fighting the rebirth of the German army, to local police. Nothing like a Sherman tank to stop shoplifting.

9. Anyone else notice the KKK and the American Nazi's running and hiding after they realized decent people would march against them.?
