Dotard Pats Himself On The Back For Drowning 109 Texans

As I write this, the death toll from the catastrophic flood in central Texas has reached at least 109, as per KHOU. That includes 30 children. The station also reported Tuesday, "Officials said they would begin reviewing the emergency response once search-and-rescue operations are complete. That includes examining how weather warnings were issued and whether communication failures played a role in the lack of evacuations." But Donald Trump is patting himself on the back because two or three hundred could have died. Trump went on to say that he and the "first lady" will visit Texas on Friday. "We don't want to get in anyone's way," Trump said, as explanation for the delay. "Because, you know, that's what happens. The president goes and everyone's around, focused on " I don't want anyone to focus on us." Oh, come on. Trump wants everyone to focus on himself all the time, even in the wake of unspeakable tragedy.

Over the past couple of months, the administration has defunded much of the operations of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the nation's chief climate and scientific agency responsible for weather forecasting, as well as the cutting-edge earth systems research at places like Princeton University, which is essential to modeling an aberrant future. It has canceled the nation's seminal scientific assessment of climate change and risk. The administration has defunded the Federal Emergency Management Agency's core program paying for infrastructure projects meant to prevent major disasters from causing harm, and it has threatened to eliminate FEMA itself, the main federal agency charged with helping Americans after a climate emergency like the Texas floods. It has " as of last week " signed legislation that unravels the federal programs meant to slow warming by helping the country's industries transition to cleaner energy. And it has even stopped the reporting of the cost of disasters, stating that doing so is "in alignment with evolving priorities" of the administration. It is as if the administration hopes that making the price tag for the Kerr County flooding invisible would make the events unfolding there seem less devastating.
