They will screw you every chance they get and try to make you think they’re doing you a favor.

Tom Price.

“Today, I will write a personal check to the U.S. Treasury for the expenses of my travel on private charter planes,” Price said in a statement. “The taxpayers won’t pay a dime for my seat on those planes.”

“… for my seat …” Cute, huh?

He pays for his seat and we pay for the rest of the airplane because … well, we are suckers.  Price did not charter a seat.  He chartered an airplane.  So next time he can charter an airplane seat, a mess of helium balloons, and a sack lunch.

And while we’re doing this, let’s talk about another damn reason I hate Republicans.

In Puerto Rico we are having what Sanjay Gupta called a “humanitarian crisis.”  Humanitarian crisis happens in third world countries, not the United States of Damn America.

And amid his talk of of restoring the Paris Hilton/Ivanka Trump inherited tax credit, Trump tweeted this morning.

We can’t afford to rebuild the homes of American citizens?  We have to stop and think about that because … well hell, they’re in an ocean, a really, really big ocean.

What the damn tarnation hell is wrong with Republicans?

In Texas, we have Governor Greg Abbott, and the minute the cameras left town he put his grubby fist around Texas’ Rainy Day Fund and refuse to help rebuild the Gulf Coast.  Good Lord, J J Watts and Deshaun Watson did more to help than my own state government.

Okay, I’m gonna go find something to laugh about now.  It’s Friday!

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
