You would think that, although the Trumpsters are in a class of their own when it comes to incompetence, they're enough into command and control that they'd want important legislation to pass — right? Like their precious "middle-class tax break" that only benefits the one percent? That kind of legislation.
So it seems to us that the Benedict Donald crowd would want a federal disaster package to sail through Congress. Sure, it helps blue California (boo!) and brown Puerto Rico (not really Americans!), but it also has money for flood relief in the Midwest, and — key fact here — help for the panhandle of Florida after Hurricane Michael. (See above.)
But after quick passage in the Senate, the bill has halted in the House, because Chip Roy, a teabagger Congressman from Texas — Ted Cruz's former chief of staff, actually — stopped it. Roy objected to the fact that the bill provided no border wall money.
Despite that, Trump wanted this bill to pass. So why hasn't he sicced his thugs on this Roy dude? Why hasn't the Texas delegation pounced on him with knives to his throat? Why hasn't a panhandle Congressman like idiot Matt Gaetz — Trump fan extraordinaire — called for Roy's castration (or at least, dropping his objection to the bill)?
Is it because the Republicans on the Hill — not to mention in the White House — have no idea what they're doing? Let's put it this way: This clown car would never be tolerated in Nancy Pelosi's caucus. (Nancy Pelosi, who, by the way, we're very proud of.) We cats HISS and PURR at the same time.
