General Discussion

That’s us. I’m glad it was only one word, because that way I can believe it was just a moment’s slip. I don’t do schadenfreude when people’s children have died.

There’s a time to say this was preventable — and it’s appropriate now.

There’s a time to say trump/musk/DOGE gutted our national weather forecasting system, fired the people, turned off the satellites — and that time is right now.

Every single time someone wants to bleat that “nobody” could have predicted this — tell them who made it so and how they did it. Don’t let them lay the blame on Biden or any Dem. The time is now.

I understand that Gov. Abbott is unavailable, on the basis that his Lt. Gov. gave the response and that he talked a lot about God. So — Texans voted for a preacher to read them sermons? They didn’t want someone who could deal with a catastrophe? Yeah — you could say that now.

None of this is “gloating, “ in my mind.
