Republicans will help LA fire victims, as long as those damn liberals behave [View all]

We here at the Republican Party want to assure victims of the horrific Los Angeles wildfires that we stand with them and are ready to provide federal aid, as long as they and California’s radical leftist jerk-face leaders agree to a few perfectly reasonable conditions.

After all, our great nation’s motto is “E pluribus unum – sub conditione,” or “Out of many, one – conditionally.”

As our esteemed colleague Rep. Zach Nunn of Iowa said Monday on Fox Business: “We will certainly help those thousands of homes and families who’ve been devastated, but we also expect you to change bad behavior. We should look at the same for these blue states who have run away with a broken tax policy. We want to be able to help out our colleagues in New York, California and New Jersey, but we also want ‒ those governors need to change their tune now.”

It seems obvious that these awful fires were ignited by broken tax policy, which is why Nunn, chair of our Tax Flammability Committee, insists that Californians change their behavior while also suggesting that other states not currently enduring a natural disaster do likewise if they know what’s good for them.
