To bad Trump wasn't president he could of nuked that storm and saved Texas

"Once, after arguing with a Black man who called into his show, he told the caller to “take that bone out of your nose and call me back.“ Another time, Limbaugh asked his audience, “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?” while discussing the Black civil rights activist and politician. Limbaugh once ludicrously asserted that “if any race of people should not have guilt about slavery, it’s Caucasians.” He invited a guest on air who sang “Barack, the Magic *****” to the tune of “Puff, the Magic Dragon.” In 2016, he read an essay on air that had been penned by a well-known white supremacist."

My man Marc Maron on Twitter:

'No one **** on the dead he didn’t like more than Rush. Always. He would be honored to be treated in kind. Quit crying'.

I also like this sentiment as a fair observation: If you believe in the afterlife, I hope he gets everything he deserves.

I have always believed that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. So.........

 

Nope, can’t do it.

The Republican Party can never again be respected or strong with political 'leaders' like Sen. Mitch McConnell at its helm," Trump said. "McConnell's dedication to business as usual, status quo policies, together with his lack of political insight, wisdom, skill, and personality, has rapidly driven him from Majority Leader to Minority Leader, and it will only get worse. The Democrats and Chuck Schumer play McConnell like a fiddle—they've never had it so good—and they want to keep it that way! We know our America First agenda is a winner, not McConnell's Beltway First agenda or Biden's America Last."

America is entering a period of political and spiritual uncertainty, and that will be stirred up by wanna-be demagogues like Trump in the hopes that he can feast on the bones of the dead and dying. Sociology says that it is probable that a "strongman" or "strongmen" will rise to fill the vacuum and respond to the frightened and angry. They will wrap themselves in the flag and carry a cross all the while subverting all the values that they will claim to champion.  There will be skirmishes of increasing violence and these leaders will decry how the innocent are being persecuted. They will develop power bases- states where they can openly preach their gospels of hatred and imagined persecution. It will resemble a slow-motion civil war.

Ron DeSantis threatens to pull COVID vaccine from Florida communities accusing him of political favoritism
   
All over the United States, there are still many questions about how and when the various COVID-19 vaccines will be distributed — and in Florida, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is drawing criticism for threatening to pull vaccine distribution from counties that say unfavorable things about his plans.

According to South Florida Sun Sentinel reporters Skyler Swisher, Steven Lemongello and Richard Tribou, "Gov. Ron DeSantis defended his decision Wednesday to steer COVID-19 vaccine to a planned community with family ties to a Republican power couple, threatening to pull doses if local officials criticize his distribution methods. DeSantis is facing questions over his decision to provide seniors living in two of Manatee County's wealthiest ZIP codes with special access to the vaccine."

The Sun Sentinel reporters note that a "pop-up distribution site" is "serving residents of Lakewood Ranch, a planned community in Southwest Florida with family ties to Liz and **** Uihlein" — who the New York Times has described as a "powerful conservative couple." **** Uihlein donated $900,000 to the Friends of DeSantis political committee in 2018, the year he narrowly defeat Democrat and former Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum in Florida's gubernatorial race, and 2019. The Uilheins were major donors to former President Donald Trump's reelection campaign in 2020.

Trump's 'nasty shot' at Mitch McConnell's wife is a preview of coming 'ugliness': reporter
   
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday night unleashed an angry attack against Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) in which he called his one-time ally a "dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack."

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman appeared on CNN Wednesday to break down the president's current fight with his own party's leadership, and she said one of the most notable parts of Trump's angry tirade at McConnell was his attack on the senator's wife, Elaine Chao, who served as Trump's own secretary of transportation.

Trump said that McConnell has "no credibility on China because of his family's substantial Chinese business holdings," a reference to the business of Chao's father, shipping magnate James S. C. Chao.

"Trump took a shot at McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao... and it was a nasty shot," she said. "And it was a sort of threatening shot about how McConnell is conflicted on China because of his family business ties to China."

Haberman added "that's the kind of ugliness you're also going to see from Donald Trump going forward" as he seeks revenge on Republicans whom he believes undermined his presidency.

There is no bigger idiot in American politics than Ted Cruz, but the people don't deserve the incapable persons they have put in power, same goes for the Governor of the State, remember this when elections roll around 

[iHeart]

What he said via TMZ

 

10:21 AM PT -- Sen. Cruz just issued a statement about his Cancun trip, and says ... "With school canceled for the week, our girls asked to take a trip with friends. Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon."

If Cruz is saying he went down to chaperone his kids for the flight, he didn't mention his wife was with them, and she could have done it. BTW, he was carrying a suitcase.

Of course! It was the kids' fault. Damned kids forcing Cruz to ignore the plight of millions of Texans he swore to serve. Its always the kids.
