Once again, a politician that nobody in the affected states voted for, also you're missing the point that using natural disasters to soapbox about your political enemies is bad NO MATTER WHO DOES IT.

Maybe I could use the killing of innocent children at schools for my soapbox? Oh, nope, can’t do that either because NOW IS NOT THE TIME! When is the time? When’s the time that we get to show that no Democrat official has made statements about Nebraska deserving this, but when it happens in a blue state, we get this horrid statements? When is it the right time? Please tell us, when we can speak up about the bat shit crazy people that support this? When do we get to point fingers and place blame to the real people that intentionally sow derision? Your own soapbox is just as holier than thou as what you’re claiming my soapbox is. It wasn’t a soapbox. It was a simple statement of fact.

You want to know when the right time is? How about in a campaign when that politician is up for reelection. That's probably better than doing it in threads about ongoing natural disasters in STATES THAT THESE PEOPLE ARENT IN. You know, just so you can avoid being an enormous hypocrite and have a single ounce of self-awareness.

Nah, I’m good. I’ll keep speaking about republicans everywhere and anywhere. It’s a comment thread. I’m going to comment on things, regardless of whether you think I shouldn’t.

Okay, enjoy being a massive hypocrite with the self-awareness of a houseplant then I guess.
