MODERATORS
What is absolutely absurd to me is the fact that there are votes against from Texas, Florida, and Louisiana. The three states who vastly out consume the FEMA budget annually since 2015.
Spite is their default setting.
This just in!.... San Diego California, a city of millions of American tax payers is currently suffering from a huge, never before seen unprecedented amount of horribly fine weather. A western front of sunshine this morning will be overcome by torrential sunshine in the evening and it will be like that for 8 straight days and 9 gay days. In the neighboring city of La Jolla, the sun will come out as gay after the morning mist of horribly refreshing sea water. The gayness of the 🌞 will start with a 🌈 rainbow and end with another devastating rainbow 🌈. Several people in LA have identified what appears to be a cloud. Sources say it is homeless, but that is the least of their problems. Now back to you Seattle!........yes here in Seattle we will have rain, followed by slightly less rain and then more rain.
