Wow! There are reports that the GOPer's are willing to cut $1 billion from the disaster fund....

to fund Trump's border wall! I wonder if they would do this if they ever have a tornado, a hurricane, an earthquake or a fire wipe out their homes? They are talking the wall while people in Texas are worried about how they will put their lives back together! Talk about selfish bastards!

More like Satan's spawn. We mobilized to save the ACA. We can mobilize to save FEMA and Coast Guard funding. Oh yeah, fuck the wall.

I wonder how the thousands of Texans who voted for Trump and the GOP candidates will cotton to that?

This so very bad somebody along the line is gonna throw up an objection. It might make it out of the House after Dems wail and scream--the House GOP really is that bad--but I just don't see the Senate letting that go through. The GOP will blink.
