Meanwhile we bluestaters are obligated to funding rebuilding these peckerwood's castles built on sand while they talk smack with their hands out.

Florida is a lost cause with sea levels rising. Every 'King tide' has the ocean pouring out of manholes into the street. How the feck is that sustainable? smh
