This is not angling to say no aid to Florida. Instead, keep it in mind as you listen to his pressers.

Dark Brandon will take care of Floridians. Desantis, in classic conservative fashion will take credit.

make that unpleasant fact stand out instead of letting the easily-distracted, ratings-driven lamestream corporate media ignore it in favor of giving more air time to the Kardashians’ footwear.

To be issued as "a hurricane eye for a hurricane eye". Hurricanes are "getting more extreme" at the same rate of the GQP becoming more extreme.

I feel badly for FL residents but I bet most of them will rebuild in the same location. DUH!

Fuck You Deathsantis and all Floridians who support him. Double FUCK YOU! Don't come crying to us Dem voters...we have heard it a zillion times before. Cry me a fucking river. Floridians don't support him with open arms. Floridians want a responsible govt. I wish people would vote for their best interests. I say the same to all residents everywhere, not just during national disasters. THINK before you vote (or don't even vote, in many cases).

He's just a horrible person.

I can't comprehend what is wrong with these sub-humans. The only thing I come up with is they're simply evil energy....

'The most high-profile Congressman on the list is Paul Ryan, failed vice presidential nominee. It also includes Mo Brooks, Ted Yoho, Ron DeSantis, Steven Palazzo and John Fleming from Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi, all of which are states that received much-needed federal aid following Hurricane Katrina, the only hurricane in American history that was more costly than Sandy. Speaker Boehner did not vote.'

We're inherently concerned about the welfare of others.

Republicans are.......not.

Let's do what we do best, Democrats. Stay classy.
