Comeuppance Caucus

http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/29/opinions/harvey-relief-funds-opinion-israel/index.html

snip:
Now, the storms have struck the districts of many of those same people. They are the "Comeuppance Caucus" -- and there's talk of punishing them by opposing the assistance they need. In politics, there's always a day of reckoning, when scores are settled and disfavors are returned.

Cruz still defends his Sandy vote. Despicable.

but I would like to see some groveling from Cruz & the other scumbags after their votes on Sandy. Maybe a tearful apology is in order. Chris Christie nailed him & I never thought I would agree with Chris on anything.

If only there were a good way of punishing Cruz et al without hurting the people of Houston.
