If he wins he won't need FEMA to help him since he is absolute positive that climate change is a lib hoax. So you'll have to pull yourself up by your own clodhoppers, Tubey.

And besides, Krasnov (R-Felon) is stomping FEMA so the GOP can do more tax cuts for the wealthy. It ain't gonna help any regular people at all.

What could possibly go wrong?

Other than the fact that, if nominated, he'll probably get in, that is.

Without Tommy there, Johnson goes back to being the dumbest member of the Senate.

I'm sure there are plenty of shit-for-brains Deputy Dawg types lazing their days away in Alabama who would jump at the chance to laze away their days in the Senate, for a much better paycheck.
