They're getting what they have always wanted. A government small enough for Grover Norquest to drown in the bathtub.

Who cares if a bunch of kids die? As Eberly is fond of pointing out, nobody cares.

"Is there a single state 100% up to speed on all emergency management?"

Yes there is. It's Texas. The state of Texas committed 100% of the resources that Texas wanted to commit to emergency management.

"I'll bet every single state in this country has needs that have been requested and denied."

As a Republican, that's your doing, so you should take a victory lap for that.

Then be outraged, for Christs sakes....instead of enjoying it.

Republicans are the ones enjoying it.

Maybe you haven't seen the AI generated images on Facebook of little girls in Camp Mystic t-shirts being welcomed by Jesus, but it's Republicans posting that garbage on Facebook, not us sensible people.

Republicans are vile.

And Eberly comes here to drive the point home.

He's good at it too.

"faux outrage."

What outrage? Repbublicans are praising Jesus for these dead girls right now.

You think I enjoy the United States being run by religious lunatics, like Iran or Israel?

No, Eberly. Republicans are the ones enjoying that.

You think I enjoy "thoughts and prayers" whenever an easily preventable tragedy occurs?

No, Eberly. Republicans are the ones enjoying that.

-AI generated images on Facebook of little girls in Camp Mystic t-shirts being welcomed by Jesus
very bad taste.

Eberly:
Why is it bad taste?
How is it any different than saying they have been called home to The Lord?
It's a picture of them, being called home to The Lord.
Tell me the difference between the words -- which you obviously don't find distasteful -- and the picture.

Or, just go fuck yourself since you never have anything useful to add to a conversation unless it happens to touch on insurance.

very bad taste.
and some here are walking down the same path.

Never happened.
Nothing about this situation is enjoyable for sensible people.
It's only Republicans who are praising Jesus over this.

-MAGA said horrible things about California at the time.
absolutely. rank partisanship.....and uncalled for.
Pretty easy to see, quite frankly.
Just like now.....

You're trying to make this a "both sides!" thing but it isn't a both sides thing.

MAGA said horrible things about California at the time, that's true.

MAGA has been saying horrible things about FEMA the whole time as well.

That's why comments like this strike such an obvious exposed nerve for Republicans: Because it's the truth. Because Republicans did in fact vote for this.

"Texas leads the nation by a wide margin in flood deaths."

Because they want to.

"For reasons only you know you get angry at other people's angry reaction to things."

Only Democrats. He doesn't care what Republicans say or do. Like he has no comment on Kristi Noem praising Jesus over this event. Because why would he?

Eberly isn't old. He's like 50.

"I simply pointed out Zed's bullshit routine."

Yes, you'll talk about anything but the topic, and you'll especially talk about Democrats who have an opinion on the topic, to downplay their opinion as being overly emotional.

We get it.

Even as you don't seem to recognize that about yourself.

Your next comment on whether Texas did anything wrong here will be your first.

I don't think turning to one's faith is vile.
posting shit on the internet is not about faith....it's about posting shit on the internet......and vile.

Those are the same thing. The latter is simply a person is "turning to their faith"
-- a phrase that means "feeling better about yourself despite doing nothing to help" --
in a way that others can see, and nod in agreement.

Both are vile.

The reason one seems vile to you and the other doesn't is because you can only see one of them on Facebook.

Facebook didn't make helpless infantile prayers vile. It just gave vile a bigger audience.

Because you're a Democrat and the disaster was caused by Republicans.

Republicans live rent free in your head the same way Adolf Hitler lived rent free in Anne Frank's head. That is funny to Republicans.

"Both are vile."

"No, it's not. One is and the other isn't.
You can cry about faith all you want. Simply disagreeing with it isn't good enough for a child like you. You insist on shaming anybody who possesses something you believe is unobtainable to you."

Wow.

You're saying my real complaint about people who post AI images of little girls in Camp Mystic t-shirts being welcomed into Heaven by Jesus is that I don't believe the little girls are in Heaven, because Heaven is a stupid fairy tale for indoctrination of children to a life of magical thinking where prayer protects you from floods.

I'm upset, not because religious stupidity killed little girls, but because I truly believe they are dead and gone, and not waiting for their parents to join them Heaven like you believe.

You are a sick fuck to think that way when little kids get killed by religious stupidity. You're in the same ballpark as people who believe suicide bombers end up in Heaven.

"You can cry about faith all you want."

I cry about faith exactly as much as I want, which is none.

I will however mock it relentlessly, as must be done.

Did you cry when faith based actors did 9/11?

Or did you cheer, knowing you were witnessing first hand the power of belief in the Almighty?

"No, it's not. One is and the other isn't."

What's different about saying "The Lord called them home" and asking AI to draw you a picture of with a prompt "The Lord called them home" and sharing it with people who believe "The Lord called them home."

How is it okay to think it in private, but horribly wrong to show it in public?

Do all Christian beliefs become vile when shared publicly? I agree it's vile, but because of the belief, not because of the audience.

I don't get how externalizing the internal changes the core nature of the belief.

Maybe it's because I don't have your bullshit "faith" LOL
