Quit Picking on the Republicans

Lindsey is like one of the Flying Monkeys in Wizard of Oz.....got to attach himself to somebody to get anywhere, disjointed and rudderless otherwise. For a long time, it was McCain, so we looked at Lindsey with some hope of reason. Now, he's Trump's monkey, and it's looking pretty damn ugly.
Graham set the bar for swamp when he said that he and the gop got wrecked by the Clinton impeachment so go right ahead and impeach TrumpLindsey is like one of the Flying Monkeys in Wizard of Oz.....got to attach himself to somebody to get anywhere, disjointed and rudderless otherwise.

Holy crap!Oh dear, someone's insecurities are on display...
Is that real?
Is there someone like that walking around free?
I'll bet that he owns a shitpile of guns, too.

4 Texas Republicans voted against extending aid as their districts flooded
Reps. Brian Babin, Dan Crenshaw, Pete Olson, and Randy Weber all voted against a bipartisan temporary funding bill as Tropical Storm Imelda causes massive flooding across southeast Texas.
Much of southeast Texas is currently underwater, due to massive flooding caused by Tropical Storm Imelda this week. One of the 10 wettest storms in the nation's history, up to 40 inches of rain have already been blamed for two deaths and the flooding of hundreds of homes.
As residents seek to recover from the damages, many will rely on FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program — assuming it is operational. While the program is funded through the end of September, Congress has yet to pass a spending bill for the 2020 financial year, which begins October 1.
On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 4378, a short-term spending bill that included an extension for the flood insurance program. It passed by a relatively bipartisan supermajority, 301-123.
But among those voting against keeping the government open and the National Flood Insurance Program were four Texas congressmen whose districts are currently experiencing widespread flooding.
Rep. Randy Weber (R), represents the 14th Congressional District. It includes the city of Beaumont, one of the areas hit hardest. Still, he voted no on Thursday.

Experts Say Vast Deserts, Absence Of Life, May Indicate Mars Was Once Run By Conservatives
In a recent revelation, published in the respectably obscure scientific journal Knock Knock Who’s There Science Science Who Too Late, a team of experts from the University of Atlantis released their analysis of what ultimately caused Mars to become a barren dustbowl of shattered galactic dreams: entirely avoidable environmental disaster coupled with unresponsive conservative governance.
Lead researcher on the project, Dr. Philemin, explains.
“While the fossil record on the red planet appears to have been mostly destroyed by the last Martian governments, who went to some lengths to attempt to hide the scale of their stupidity from eternity, we still managed to turn up compelling evidence that these guys knew this shit was coming. But they chose not to act because: dividends. Those weekend houses on Phobos don’t pay for themselves, it would seem.”
Dr. Philemin goes on to say that one of the most striking discoveries the team made was that Martian governments – which, unlike Earth’s, followed a quasi-democratic model that disproportionately favoured telling lies, telling sweet little lies – seemed largely unwilling, or unable, to tackle any and all problems with a time frame greater than four Mars’ years. Coincidentally the length of time between most elections on the now lifeless planet.
“Weird, huh?” says Dr. Philemin, staring expressionlessly out of the window of his office, at a highway packed with traffic, weaving around the port of Miami (where the U of A maintains a remote campus) – in which enormous ships sat waiting to bring untold tonnes of plastic crap to the shores of a place that produces plenty of the stuff itself. And other vessels stood by, ready to take mostly obese passengers to new locales in which to stuff their faces. And buy more plastic shite.
“We even discovered an ancient script, quoting what seems to have been one of the last Martian leaders. A spectacularly short-sighted individual whose name time has erased, this character memorably claimed that the warnings of his leading scientists – who told him that their planet was destined to become a dust factory – were a hoax. Because they had an agenda. Which appears to have been wanting to avoid extinction.”
The researchers are quick to admit there is little practical application for their work.
“As a planet that appears to have once been home to approximately 7 billion inhabitants, that was drained of its resources so that a few of them could build yachts to sail on the red seas, while the rest of them used discount airlines to scour their globe for meaning and wistfully elected governments who promised the end wasn’t nigh – when in fact it was half-past – there really aren’t any ready comparisons to be made. Certainly not in this solar system.”
But, he adds, if any earthlings should feel the need to raise their gaze from the trough of fossil fuels, here on the endlessly resilient paradise we call Earth, the uninterestingly irrelevant study can be read in its entirety at This Probably Doesn’t Affect Us.
