The incompetence of this administration on full display as they scramble to play the blame game. They are so owned by the fossil fuel industry that the very mention of climate change is seemed as a threat- as the rest of the developed world works to reduce the impact of previous policies which harmed our air and water quality this administration has buried its heads in the sand and has taken an eraser to all research which supports the need to lessen emissions and reduce the carbon footprint. We pay the price for the actions of this administration- and it is only beginning!
They'll destroy weather forecasting to rid us of any mention of climate change - it's an insane obsession, even the oil industry is like "tone it down, guys."
My feeling is that the flash floods were definitely enhanced by global warming which makes hydrological events more extreme. We know that on the fossil fuel industry's behalf Trump has been waging war on those parts of the government that deal with the effects of global warming, i.e. NOAA, the NWS, the NHC. Even satellite coverage data is being restricted. All of this does not serve the public. Any sane government seeks to aid its citizenry. In a democratic form of government, an educated citizenry is essential for making informed choices. Yet Trump is attempting on many fronts to dumb us down. In a nutshell, Trump's government is both sociopathic toward its own citizenry and antipathetic to democracy.
"Trump is trying to kill us" -- or, at the least, doesn't give a shite if we die. Cornyn's statement is WAAAYYY beyond disgusting. Next time, let it be HIS grandchildren who drown. "Sins of the fathers" etc.
This has been predicted. I have said repeatedly, the United States is not safe. This is one of hundreds of examples of how the USA is not safe. There is no weather recording or regulation, no help for disasters, and no relief. All that money is going to lock people up and kill them in concentration camps. There is no one regulating things that get made, so products can be unsafe and we will not know about it. There is no protecting us from dirty water, food or air.
Medical research is being decimated, medical practices, medical centeres and hospitals are too by the loss of medicare to so many people. There is no accurate knowledge on health being disseminated from Health and Human Services, and diseases are allowed to run rampant. There may be no more child vaccinations and diseases that had virtually disappeared will return.
There is no protection from terrorism. The person in charge knows nothing about what they are doing. There is no protection from enemies, and Trump is destroying relationships with all of our allies. The people he is catering to are totally untrustworthy and would kill their own mothers and their own children, so no, there is no safety. None.
This is not an exhaustive list, just an exhausted one.
With the exception of initially blaming "DEI", the circumstances & the admin response sounds an awful lot like the January Potomoc mid-air collision - fired the pros, understaffed, "the tech is old", we are updating it. It's like they are working from a playbook (the well-worn grooves of Trump's pathology/Project 2025?) That event also disproportionately killed children.
K.E.C. The loss of life is a needless tragedy. I wish that this were not our future. My heart aches for all of the children who will not get to grow up and who deserve a good life.
When my daughter was little if she complained that something was not fair, I would tell her, what was not fair is that all children in the world did not have it as good as she and her friends did. When she got older she never said this, because she understood what not fair really meant. I did not feel that she should have less, but that others should have enough. It is tragic when people do not care about children. let us hope that our children can grow up to care about people, because it is really bad when your president presents nothing but ruthlessness and heartlessness.
Trump fans 2024: "Biden gutted FEMA and spent all the money North Carolina needs on illegal immigrants. I don't care if that pic of a little girl shivering with a puppy was generated by some AI engine, it still feels true as a statement on how Kamala is neglecting rural voters."
Trump fans 2025: "It's sickening that the libtards would politicize this tragedy."
Cornyn highlights the people who didn't die in the Texas floods.” Well, that’s a new tactic, on par with Joni Ernst’s “we’re all gonna die someday.” Maybe authorities could highlight in future school, church, and mall shootings that “just 2% of those in the facility at the time were killed.” This would require doing math, of course, but it could be a winner.
Just watch how hard they'll try to spin away any responsibility. Noem, in particular, will be one to watch. She's so incompetent that even her efforts at spin will be laughable.
Well, of course it had nothing to do with The Donald. It’s those damn space lasers … or the Biden crime family … or hungry Haitians from Ohio looking for more pets to eat … or

The list goes on for me, too.

Naturally, T💩p blames Biden for the lack of response:
