Texas churches suing FEMA, they want that taxpayer provided money.

From jaunitajean.com

Apparently, they didn’t have insurance and by golly, God did not favor them. They got damaged just like the heathens next door.
The only difference is that the heathen next door pays taxes.

The churches claim they are being denied their first amendment rights because FEMA is discriminating against them.
The Texas churches that sued are the Rockport First Assembly of God in Rockport, which lost its roof and steeple and suffered other structural damage, and the Harvest Family Church in Cypress and Hi-Way Tabernacle in Cleveland, which were flooded.

I suggest they do what thousands of other folks pestered by Harvey do – put on some boots and a face mask, grab a shovel, starting digging crap Harvey left behind, and pay your damn taxes you welfare queens.

Someone asked downthread if churches were even eligible. They are not:

From: Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide
FP 104-009-2 / April 2017

p12. Facilities established or primarily used for political, athletic, religious, recreational, vocational, or academic training, conferences, or similar activities are not eligible (see Table 3).

Hell on earth...pic

I am sorry I cannot give credit to the DU member who first posted this photo a few days ago.
It is one of 2 that will stay in my memory of 2017.
of all the incredible fires in the Pac. NW, this pic pretty much describes the worst of it.

This is what it looks like when 2 hurricanes marry:

Irma and Jose have tied the knot, in a manner of speaking.

So THAT's what his saber rattling re: N. Korea was for!

He tweeted:

I am allowing Japan & South Korea to buy a substantially increased amount of highly sophisticated military equipment from the United States.

My son is in the smoke from the fires. He sent this pic this am.

He lives in Western Wash,. up near the Canadian border.
He took this pic at 10 this morning, outside his work area. Says ash is falling, from the fires in both Montana and in eastern Wash.

What you can't see: huge trees, mountain backdrop.

The Russian Consulate in SF closing.....I think there is more to it.

A lot of what has happened has not made sense...unless you think in terms of Russia collusion AND the money that was paid
to our Congressmen to help with the plot.

TRUMP closed the consulate out of the blue? Why?
Somebody told him to do that.

Yet it was not part of the previous East Coast Russian compound seizing.

Why did Russian buddy Congressman Rohrabacher who is from Cal., why did he go to see Assange so recently?
Remember the tape which has Paul Ryan all nervous over a comment that Rohrabacher was working with Russia?
Wanna bet where Ryan got some of HIS campaign funds?

.Nunes, also a Cal. congressman. NOW his midnight paper run starts to make sense.

Why is the Russian Consulate shutting down and burning files, now that the Russian campaign money to Congress became public.?
Thank you Paul Manafort for admitting to that!
Remember it was his job as RNC Finance Chairman to collect money.
A guy who had years of experience finding huge chunks of money for Ukraine and Russia related people.)
a name that comes up again and again around Trump/money dealings.


why did McConnell get a million $$$ or more campaign contribution , via Russia, last year when he was not even RUNNING for re-election in 2016?

Russia, the WH and the RNC are trying to cover up that they sold the election to Russia.
Even if bodies have to fall from Russian heart attacks.
