Gee, I wonder how many Texas Republicans will vote against Harvey aid unless there are offsets, like Pence demanded for Sandy aid, to pay for it?
So Iâm guessing this will include an Obamacare repeal attempt?
It will take two days to sober them up?

No, it will take two days to agree on what other spending to cut as an offset.
These are good Christian Texans, so it cannot be pork. ⌠Wait a second ⌠Or was it Muslims and Jews who donât eat pork? ⌠Iâm confused.
What should be easy pickings will be a train wreck. Only way Republicans ever do anything because theyâre enslaved by their ideology rather than focusing on helping people as it should be.
Tie it to the debt limit. Fuck these crazy-ass âFreedumbâ Caucus assholes.
Other than being hypocritical frauds and sanctimonious aholes, I am glad they are doing this in âpartsâ and getting some relief to Texas right away.
A few predictions:
It will pass.
They wonât require spending cuts to offset it.
Trump will act like this bare minimum of legislative accomplishment â passing a bill pretty much everyone wants to pass â is a great triumph, and proves heâs a great leader.
âShockâ from Miz Lindz. âConcernâ from Susan Collins. âThoughts and Prayersâ from the talibangelical caucus. Actual bill, weâll see.
Maybe NOW is the time to do what theyâve wanted to do for so long â secede â think about how much money the âgubmintâ could save.
How many billionaires in Houston? How many in Texas? How many have foundations? How much are they willing to cough up for the âŚwell, ya knowâŚthose people in Houston. Michael Dell has pledged $36M âŚwhat has T. Boone Pickens pledged. How about Alice Walton, Rex Tillerson, Scott Duncan, Robert Rowling, Henry Perot, Robert, Ed and Sid Bass, Harold Simmons. Dan and Scott Duncan, Mark Cuban âŚet al? It would be interesting to watch these kinds of Texans stepping up to the financial plate.
McCarthy will want protection from increased dairy and garlic prices in Bakersfield or heâll pull a Lucy BrownâŚ
If they donât tie it to the debt limit, the checks will bounce. (Well, properly speaking, the checks will bounce about a week earlier, since the deficit is on the order of a billion a day. Or maybe not, because it might take a while to cut those checks. But nevertheless, to a first approximation they are planning to appropriate money they have no apparent intention of paying out.)
