I found an article on what you're talking about at http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/02/16 ... deral-aid/.

He's requesting disaster assistance from the Federal government just as any other governor would. If something happens like Trump insists that he change his previously stated positions on climate change, responses to undocumented immigration, etc., and he changes it in order to get the aid that'll be a story. But as far as I can tell that hasn't happened.

He's just using the process established by law for procuring Federal assistance in responding to a disaster.

Yeah. When he needs to go hat in hand to the federal government suddenly it's "I'm sure we'll work together effectively"....what a fucking douche.

As they said during the drought: "If it is Brown, flush it."

Whoa there! Wait a second! I thought liberals were supposed to be the whiney bitches? :lol:

Brown has as much of an obligation to denounce and fight federal policies he disagrees with as he does to take advantage of already existing federal disaster relief. You know...the same kind of relief that conk governors went hat in hand to Obama for when a few trailer parks were blown down?

You just made JSO look non-partisan and reasonable while providing SH affirmation. Good job! :clap:

:rofl:

I'm sure AZ is just laughing like the rest of us (you included I'm sure) how funny the hypocrisy is when the shoe is on the other foot. That's all.

It's been interesting for Washington State... we have both (R) and (D) positions up high
Gov. Jay Inslee (D) and State Treasurer Duane Davidson (R)
have danced the delicate mating dance with the Federal Government

Washington State does some things that frustrate the Federal Government (See: Legal Marijuana)
IT's good that we have both parties in-state working to keep things moving with little rhetoric and posturing

The whole marijuana thing drives me crazy. I just don't understand conservatives being so uptight about it. I used to think it was religious belief driving it but I don't anymore. I think it's just inertia. And Reefer Madness. Which is what this is

Conservatives tend to fear the unknown, its a big part of what makes them conservative. If you're under a certain age you wouldn't remember just how badly the hippies seriously frightened "normal folk" back in the day. I was in junior high about an hour and a half away from SF and the whole attraction of that movement to me was solely due to the way they jangled the nerves of the old people. A whole different feeling than the "that isn't music" outrage that the Beatles sparked among them when they first played the Ed Sullivan Show. And of course the hippies couldn't pass on the opportunity to reinforce all the worst things going through the establishment heads. At one point they were putting out the rumor that they got high smoking banana peels and were taken seriously.

That's a common theory but keep in mind that I am conservative myself and my own anecdotal experience leans more towards simple inertia rather than fear of change.

And one other thing: many conservatives are actually fond of big government and the big rulebook as long as it promotes "order". I haven't found this to be a majority, but there are enough
