House appoves $36 billion disaster aid

Message to the 69 Republicans who voted against this bill:  You do not seem to understand the role of government.  How can you turn your back on your fellow Americans when they are in desperate need?  The political stunt of voting against this bill, knowing it will pass overwhelmingly, shows how out of touch and inept you are.  You are the same people who voted to repeal the ACA for 7 years not bothering to have a plan to replace it since you had cover of the repeal being vetoed.  You do not deserve your positions and your constituency deserves better.
