Guess who has gone begging? From the federal damn government?
That money will have Obama cooties on it. And since this was in my local newspaper, I hope every damn Republican in the county sees it.
Abbott won’t take money intended for Medicaid for working class families and their children t get needed medical care. But a flood, well, that’s different because water rises even for the rich as well as the poor.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
The classic example of being a hypocrite!
1Sorry A-butt. Truly. I’m sorry. But, not a penny for you, until your snacibupeR counterparts in DeeCee take care of Flint, MI and appropriate the funds needed to respond to the Zika virus. We the Americans who believe in our responsibility to take care of all Americans must take issue with you, or at a minimum insist that you get in line, take a number and wait until all those who have been held hostage due to snacilbupeR obstructionism have been served.
Have a problem with that, Greg? Call your US Senators and Representatives. Remember when Gov Cartman hugged President Obama? I do. It’s difficult to forget the one decent thing the Outlaw Jersey Whale has ever done. Your turn, Greg. Do something decent. Can we interest you in some medicaid funds, perhaps?
2A-butt, no federal aid for flood recovery unless you first activate Medicaid in Texas. Simple as that. You can handle simple, can’t you?
3Somebody watch him like a hawk, because Perry transferred federal disaster money away from HHS to a project of his own. Federal disaster money isn’t as tightly controlled as Medicaid would be.
Though if it were possible, I’d be glad to see disaster money tied to acceptance of federal education and medical money, because it’s totally unfair that Texans suffer because our GOP Govs don’t want federal money to have “strings attached” (like being spent on what they were allocated for.)
4While flooding may hit rich and poor alike, the rich tend to have better insurance and more resources. I hope these funds are approved quickly so that people who have lost so much will have help soon.
It’s a pity that there isn’t some federal aid that could be withheld from Abbott directly. That might motivate him. Poor people not having health care never will.
5I guess those Medicaid-needy families and their kids need to get themselves on the teevee and in the national news for about a week. It’s bad enough for us blue states to carry the red states through all that bitching about us being the “takers”, but when you won’t even take the money to help your own poor people, that’s just nauseating.
6LynnN, maybe we should file a FOIA request. It’s known that A-butt received a generous settlement for being smacked by a tree. But, is he receiving any federal funds for disability?
In the event of a disaster, there has to be a better and faster way to distribute funds to those who need and deserve them the most. Hechuva Job Brownie didn’t exactly fix that SNAFU. Exhibit #1, Perry. Exhibit #2, Christie. etc ad nauseum.
FEMA should be the avenue, but despite their best efforts President Obama and Jeh Johnson can’t fix st00pid.
Beyond voting, seriously, engage with the st00pid who vote against their own interests. Swaying 5-10% of them would make a difference. Who knows how many those 5-10% could sway, since they speak the same language – fact free and arithmetic challenged.
Next time I engage with a ‘small government’ nacilbupeR, will remember to explain to them what lack of government oversight means – graft & corruption.
7What? Why isn’t he just getting on his knees and praying to his almighty Christian God?? Begging from a Muslim?
8And this surprised no one at all.
9WHAT? WAIT. Didn’t the previous administration have a big “prayers for rain” get-together awhile ago? So, their Gawad finally got around to answering their prayers….and they weren’t ready, or he/she provided too much. Just maybe if all those politicians had been a little nicer, kinder, more appreciative their Gawad-vermont might have rained them with money, instead.
But, You can’t always get what you want, but you can sometime get what you need…. tough decision, money or rain.
10Unfortunately they will get both, hopefully with a large serving of humility on the side.
Took him long enough. We all know Texas Republicans hate like hell to ask the President for help, ‘specially when they keep telling everybody they don’t need no stinkin’ federal help.
11How’s that workin’ for ya?
Pray harder damn it. That should fix it.
12In reading the article posted, the request is for “individual Assistance grants”. I know this may be a stupid question, but do they go directly to the individuals or to the State to disburse? Hopefully, the former.
13A-butt, why don’t you just sue for it? You’ve spent years, and gods only know how many dollars, initiating endless lawsuits against Obama. Why stop now?
14Every time I turn over my compost heap, I am reminded that even the microbes, fire ants, and fly maggots have more nobility and sense of purpose than hominids like Abbott.
15I’m betting A-butt has already done what Rick the Prick, here in Florida, did when he was faced with a similar matter recently. He came out swinging — at Obama — at the same time he was asking for money.
If the money had been for him and his cronies I would’ve said, “Go F[ind the money] Yourself. [There, Momma, I fixed it for you.] But since at least a fair amount of it will probably get into the hands of people who actually need it, I bit my tongue. Till it bled.
16So, I guess Texas won’t be stomping their feet about seceding from the United States this week?
17Make no mistake. That money is for 2300 sqft vacation homes along the rivers, not the people that actually live and work there.
18Sanctimonious sob.
19tee-hee.
Snicker-snicker.
GUFFAW!!
