[REUTERS] A new package of U.S. disaster assistance sailed through the House of Representatives on Thursday, despite President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... expressing impatience with having to devote federal resources for hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico’s recovery.
The Republican-controlled House voted 353-69 to approve $36.5 billion in emergency relief for Puerto Rico and other areas hit by recent disasters. Senate approval is expected in coming weeks.
Trump and his aides on Thursday suggested that there would be a limit to how much help Puerto Rico could expect from Washington to solve some of its longer-term problems, although Trump is expected to sign the latest emergency package.
The White House on Thursday evening issued a statement saying the Trump administration was "pleased" that the House had approved the relief funds and pledged to work with Congress going forward to provide resources to recover and rebuild.

In other words, conservatives are who we always were, and the Left is becoming a monster.
[FreeBeacon] A new study from the Pew Research Center shows a growing partisan gap in opinions on major issues, driven in part by Democrats' leftward drift.
Pew found Democrats have moved substantially left on a variety of issues while Republicans' views remain relatively constant. That was true across social and economic issues; Pew claimed that the split between Republicans and Democrats is more pronounced than any divides by race, gender, or socioeconomic status.
"This poll and some other recent ones show that Democrats are pulling more strongly to the left and Republicans are not pulling quite as strongly to the right as a general matter," said Karlyn Bowman, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute who specializes in American public opinion.
One such leftward shift came in Pew's question about welfare. As to whether or not the government "should do more to help the needy, even if it means going deeper into debt," 71 percent of Democrats respond affirmatively, up 17 points over the past six years.
Republicans' opinions have barely shifted, down slightly from 25 to 24 percent. Additionally, some 76 percent of Democrats say "poor people have hard lives because government benefits don't go far enough"‐the highest proportion of Democrats since Pew started asking the question in 1994.
"The party is being pulled in a more liberal direction, there's no question about that," Bowman said. "I mean Elizabeth Warren's comment a few weeks ago essentially that this isn't Bill Clinton's party, we're not the party of welfare and crime. I think she's reflecting the views of many of the people in her party. And I think a lot of it happened during the Obama years."

Quit calling them liberals or democrats. Call them for what they really are - Socialists.
I'd call them lazy bums who want Uncle Sugar to do everything for them.

It is hard to imagine that the Democrats could move any further left without being out-and-out bomb-throwing communists.
Apart from a handful of Antifa types I think most of them are too weak from the vegan diets and too damn lazy to throw any bombs. Carrying cardboard signs and driving beat up old cars with Bernie bumper stickers is about all they're good for.

but the Dems are becominghave become the party of stark raving lunatic morons!
Corrupt Democrat Idiot wants more than her 15 minutes
The House overcame a conservative rebellion Thursday to pass a new round of disaster relief, saying the $36.5 billion is needed to replenish funds that are quickly depleting in the wake of hurricanes that have battered Texas, Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
The overwhelming 353-69 vote came even as President Trump suggested federal emergency workers cannot remain in Puerto Rico "forever" ‐ and Carmen Yulin Cruz, the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, accused Mr. Trump of "genocide" for what she said was an antipathy toward her island territory.
"I ask every American that has love, and not hate in their hearts, to stand with Puerto Rico and let this President know we WILL NOT BE LEFT TO DIE," the mayor said in a statement she sent to Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez, Illinois Democrat, and asked him to publicize on Capitol Hill. From one attention wh0re to another

[PJMEDIA] NBC late-night host Seth Meyers on Wednesday night burned bridges with any remaining viewers of his who still support President Trump, telling them to go away and flipping them off.
Inspired by Eminem's anti-Trump freestyle rap at the BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday night, Meyers told Trump supporters to "get off the fence" and pick a side between the president and his show -- which he noted "constantly mocks and denigrates everything about [Trump]."
"I know it's a tough call," the smarmy host continued. "But the time has come to make a decision."
He then rapped, "My name is Seth and I'm here to say -- if you like Trump, then go away," and flipped the bird to punctuate his message.
Seriously, do these late-night hosts even try to do comedy anymore? These shows are nothing but a more unhinged and less funny version of the anti-Trump hysteria CNN and MSNBC vomit out day after day.

I'll bet the MSM is a swamp of abusers just like Hollywood.
Hence the attempt to morally preen as a way of projecting the evil away from their organisations.

I wouldn't bet on his staying power. In a system where the top dogs are beginning to fall for abuses, the underlings may find themselves with little support.
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and MSNBC's Chris My Thigh is Tingling! Matthews ... the late Tip O'Neill's former gopher who has magazines with centerfolds of Barack Obama in his bathroom... both eagerly speculated on the latest long shot liberal hope to get rid of Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... : The 25th Amendment. Building off a mention of it Vanity Fair by Steve Bannon, Blitzer on Thursday asked correspondent Jessica Schneider "Tell our viewers who aren’t familiar with the 25th Amendment, Jessica, precisely what it does."
She related the dreams of Democrats: "It lays out the path for removal of the president in cases of inability. And that’s a term that has never been defined or suggested. So here’s what exactly would need to happen to set the 25th Amendment in motion."

These apparatchiks have been talking impeachment and the 25th amendment before Trump took office. I predict they will end up losing if the pro-Trump Pennsylvania crowd is any indication. This crowd also has a low opinion of Congress and a lower opinion of the MSM.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
