Stupid Republican idea of the day

I wonder if Richard Spencer is involved somehow. He’s from Whitefish, just like Zinke.

Like the search for the Holy Grail, the Ark, Yeti, and Bigfoot, this will never be over…

Also, that one Congresswoman has a funny hat. Gotta investigate that shit.

Conform to Texas politics if you want hurricane relief. * "The city of Dickinson, in Galveston County, was among the hardest-hit places when Hurricane Harvey’s torrential rains slammed Texas. Residents now seeking Harvey relief face a strange ultimatum: agree not to boycott Israel, or your application for aid will be denied. "*

God answers back.

That is seriously fucked up. I understand it has to do with a law that Abbott signed into law stating the state couldn’t do business with companies that boycott Israel, which itself is fucked up, but denying hurricane relief funds to someone without having them first take basically a fucking loyalty pledge is complete bullshit.

What is that stupid shit? Who the hell puts preconditions on disaster relief?

I just looked at that form on the Dickinson web site. First, why the fuck does anyone in Dickinson, Texas give two shits about who does or does not boycott Israel? How would the average Dickinson resident be in a position to boycott Israel anyway?

Second, it’s just a paragraph on the form. How are they even going to check that anyway? The whole thing is just stupid.

How exactly do you boycott Israel? Stop buying olives?

Don’t buy an Uzi.

Or microprocessors. Or thumb drives. Or CAT scans. It’s a bullshit law, but not because you can’t find stuff to buy from Israel - you all probably have at least several dozen of pieces of hardware or software designed or manufactured in Israel in your homes right now.

Not only that, but a pledge of loyalty to a foreign country. How can that even be constitutional?

It’s pretty clear that Dickinson misinterpreted the law, which, as stated above, is directed at contractors working with the state. But yeah, this whole thing seems completely idiotic.

Holy crap. Why is all the power and majesty of the federal government focused on Hillary Clinton, yet again? When does this cross the line into harassment?

When will the day come when the current administration stops trying to blame everything on the previous administration and start owning the state of things? I mean every time Trumps fucks up (which is fucking constantly) how long are they going to be able to say “But, Hillary…” or “Yeah, but the Obama administration left me a mess…” and have conservatives fall for it? They’re like a bunch of ADHD kids who are so easily distracted by the big scary black man and his cronies who used to run things that they can’t see what is actually happening. All SHS or Trump has to say is “Hey, look over there!” and they don’t pay any attention to the current face raping that Trump is doing to the country.

In fairness, they’re doing the only thing they know how to do.

The current idiot asshole pussy-grabber-in-chief, that’s who!

Actually, as much as I would love to blame Trump for this, it is purely a stupid TX thing rather than a federal BS law.

I can tell you exactly when: the 12th of Never.

If I were Hillary I would hope I’d be subpoenaed by a congressional committee just so I could say: oh, hell no. Hit me with contempt of Congress. I don’t give a shit.

And not all of them placed there by Mossad! :smiley:
