How about a little self-reflection on the destructive policies of the GOP? But nope. If you say anything you’re “politicizing it”.

refused Medicaid expansion that would have helped your constituents,

refuse free lunch programs designed to provide sustenance to your constituents' children

and refuse government subsidies that would've made your constituents AND their children safer, then

1) you've ALREADY politicized it, and

2) you're a mean-spirited, self-centered, lowlife pos.

end of story

shortly

A flood plain should tell you the area floods so a warning system was the right thing to do
and “they” stopped that.

Really smart hydro geologists, engineers, ecologists, and scientists had a design for a
warning system ready to be installed but Republicans stopped that from happening.

Otherwise it’s like allowing subpar electric work as long as smoke detectors are in place.

The political leadership wants to support "business" by not regulating anything.

Excellent.

Repugs made a big deal about not using it to keep citizens safe

Someone voted for this because every vote matters, it’s a choice

while surrounding counties did. At the time, they jokingly said the motion was "dead in the water." Ten bucks says this directly exacerbated to the higher count of casualties there.

Not only the loss of children but of massive amounts of property will keep it going.

They had opportunities to build an early warning system using money from both the Obama and the Biden administration, but turned it down for political reasons.

This has tha actual meeting transcripts

It's a slippery slope to go from flood warning system straight into Stalin's Siberian gulags.


GOP prefers to take away children's lives because they are pro-life.

Trump's maggots will keep on voting for GOP no matter how many die. You can't fix stupid. They will say it's God's Will. Thank God I live in California.

From monitizing covid. So this is peanuts. Drop in the bucket. Lots more winnng coming

They see taxes as their money even after they may or may not have paid them and then they resent what they still consider their money going to help others who's "values don't align with theirs".

Seriously, that's it in a nutshell.

How do we counter this? It's pervasive, even among some who consider themselves Democrats.

to inject false narrative into the public's ear to advance their agenda, that's when they will want discuss it.

Seriously that is the way they work. Why speak the truth when a lie serves their agenda
better.

Ever since Sandy Hook when we decided guns have more rights than children, I have zero confidence in Republicans. Their base cares more about owning the libs than their children's lives. Texass will still go strong red in 26. I wish I had more hope.

Columbine, Colorado!!!

I'm. not cold hearted. I just believed that after 5 days, if they haven't found the 161 missing, they are presumed dead and "Search" mode should transition to "Recovery" mode.

It's time to start pointing fingers. Mierda47 has already blamed Biden.
It's obvious to me that (R)'s are at the heart of the problem.

All back too themselves. All the people who live there who would not do the hard part of being good neighbors. They are at fault.
The people who just had to build or camp on the flood plane.
They will do it again. The camp will be rebuilt just there and the campers will be back at the bank of the river.

And Greg Abbott is yakking on Fox about how "responsibility is like baseball". WTF. No, asshole, YOU AND YOUR STUPID SHITTY PRESIDENT AND YOUR SHITTY ASS KISSING PROPAGANDA CHANNEL ARE DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!

So they were given FREE GOVERNMENT MONEY to enhance security in that area and they didn’t use it in order to ‘own the libs’? I hope the lawsuits bankrupt Texas.

… spend it on a flash flood warning system along the Guadalupe River although they didn’t
return the money because it might go to a liberal state such as Oregon or California.


* from the internets …. So you know it is real.

They were so Foxed up in their heads that they saw a good and decent man in President
Biden as “the enemy” who needed to be fought on each and every level.

I see repugs often blame the deaths of innocents on democrats. Using their own politically biased reasoning. We don't need to mimic their behavior for this awful natural disaster. Please note that the river rose by over 26 feet in less than one hour. At around 2:00am in the morning. Just saying...

Watch all the way to San Antonio Bay.

It's taken from John's recent podcast. It's long, so I cannot post it all, but here is some of it....

I had a brother who lived in Texas who believed in miraculous cures and that God wanted him to be rich. He died of cancer. He died poor.

What’s going on in Texas is superstition wrapped up in religion: We can build a summer camp on a flood plain because God will protect us. We don’t need to spend money on a warning system because God will protect us.

It’s just so common for the evangelical crowd to think things can be true if only they believe hard enough.

I did not know that

💧💧💧

who they don't know about. They can't even find missing trailers they are looking for. They'll never find everyone. So sad.
