Oh and John Ratcliff is a worthless bootlicking sack of gently caress who orally pleasures Mitch McConnell whenever he can't get a hard-on from cutting spending on poor people.

I didn't realize town and country magazine was still a thing. And I'm always angry anyhow, that just adds a couple more coals to the fire.

There are good stories out there, like this one here about initial results in small studies in treating opioid addiction with CBD.

https://www.thestranger.com/slog/2019/05/22/40274855/study-shows-cbd-may-be-effective-for-opioid-treatment

Small studies, but promising. poo poo like that popping into my news just dumps a shotglass of water on my anger fire. Like when Harvard released a small study about marijuana use and sperm count.

I'd still love to see the Sacklers swing by their necks though. Short drop, let them suffer.

I think the Tories are way more to blame than May herself, but at the same time she refused to break with the idiots in her party for the good of her country so in that sense she can gently caress off.

tbf they were fifth cousins once removed (his great great grandfather was her great great great grandfather), which I'm pretty sure is statistical noise compared to the genetic similarity between random strangers.

John Ratcliffe: Worlds physically largest douchebag.

Chip Roy: hold my beer.

quote:

A House Republican lawmaker blocked a $19.1 billion disaster aid package on Friday, delaying a bill that would send federal funding to disaster-affected areas across the country.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Tex.) voted to block the legislation, which has the support of President Trump and passed the Senate on Thursday.

Roy said he was objecting to the bill because it would add to the country’s debt, as well as because it left out $4.4 billion in additional spending for federal operations along the U.S.-Mexico border.


The White House had initially pushed lawmakers to include the new funding in the disaster bill, but the funds were left out of a Senate compromised reached this week to move the aid package forward. Roy described the $4.4 billion as “quite modest,” and he said that without it, the legislation did “nothing to address the clear national emergency and humanitarian crisis we face at our southern border.”

Only one vote was needed to defeat the motion because House leaders were attempting to pass the measure by unanimous consent. Most House lawmakers left town on Thursday before Senate negotiators announced they’d reached a disaster aid deal, making a full vote impossible without recalling lawmakers.

Following Roy’s objection, the House ended its session. The House is set to have another “pro forma” session — one with few lawmakers present — on Tuesday, at which time they plan to again try to pass the legislation by unanimous consent.

Yeah the way this came about was pretty amazing. Democrats wanted Puerto Rico disaster dollars, Donnie refused (because it would remind people of his poo poo job in PR) and wanted emergency non-wall border dollars. It's been stalled for a longass time, only because Donnie won't sign it, so his senators/reps won't bless it without his say-so.

The House has passed the poo poo long ago. Finally, Senators were exhausted and two Republican Senators called him up and begged him to take the disaster funding-only deal. At the EXACT SAME TIME, Donnie's best friends Reps Meadows and Jordan were RIGHT NEXT TO HIM telling him to NOT take the deal. He took the deal and tweeted, making the bill pass with 80+ Senate votes.

So now they're stalling, trying to make him change his mind while he's on the Japan trip. :toot:
