  2. >Last week, as Helene was winding up in the Gulf of Mexico, strengthening almost by the minute, the House of Representatives voted on a spending package that would have prevented a government shutdown. Eighty-two Republicans voted to shut down the government as a catastrophic storm prepared to devastate a quarter of the country. Let’s look at the box score.

    >The no votes included eleven members of the House from Florida, including thoroughgoing blowhard Rep. Byron Donald; three from Tennessee; and all five of the Republican members from South Carolina. North Carolina’s delegation remarkably showed good sense; only Rep. Dan Bishop voted against the spending package.

    The anti-abortion folks spent decades hiring lawyers to write articles for judges to cite when handing down anti rulings. Leonard Leo is doing the same with climate denial-he’s going to get a bunch of fake science accepted by the courts so big business can keep damaging the planet. Then he spends $$ on politicians and there goes our checks and balances.

    What’s more sad is the areas hit are very red areas. These people are now demanding the government help them and rebuild all this infrastructure where much of it economically never made much sense to pave roads and provide utilities to the middle of nowhere

  5. Suffering in an election year is good for the opposition party.

    But republicans are the only ones that use this inhumane tactic.
