"No one knew this flood was coming," Kelly said. "We have floods all the time."

Looks like this guy is walking both sides of the fence.

These children could have been saved. Everyone saw that weather coming.

But MAGA culture has a strange relationship with weather and predicting it.

The evidence is that they can't be bothered to predict it.

Too much money spent to justify the knowing.

And so everyone decided to forget that heavy rains, even hundreds of miles away, cause flooding downstream.

Losers. Both of you

People are adopting a fatalism in response to yours.

MAGA: "People Die".

Everyone else: "See, people are dead".

Maybe you should worry about being consistent in your own expressions of thought and leave the BS behind.

That would be the same as resigning from MAGA,

"Texas officials are blaming their failure to act on a faulty forecast by Donald Trump's new National Weather Service gutted by cuts to their operating budget and most experienced personnel"

Texas GOP officials?

This is what you said you wanted.

Burn in ----.

Every, and I mean EVERY, level of MAGA government, starting with the Feds and going down to city level, will resist spending funds to help Kerrville with this disaster.

it's good when the despicable human trash
self identifies.

Pat yourself on the back.

I always knew thew Left hated Christains and Jews, the comments on here prove that

Now explain why MAGA hates weather satellites.

These deaths are simply a part of the cutting edge. MAGA and Trumpism are about death and suffering. What they do is make sure that this happens more frequently and with greater intensity.

"Now explain why MAGA hates weather satellites"

Not an idle question. I really want to know, and I'm not the only one. Any insights?

You in favor of weather satellites?

Simple question.

Yes? No? Maybe?

Too much for you?

Are you in favor of kids not drowning by way of a more useful National Weather Service?

MAGA pols are already explaining the Kerrville flood, and the deaths associated with it, as being "fake".

Or to more precisely quote: "Fake, fake, fake".

"Initially, was no aggressive or stern warning about what has happened until it was actually happening, because this weather system stalled out"

Stalled weather systems dump rain.

River systems collect rainfall from many thousands of square miles.

I live in Texas and grew up with such things.

Trump's weather service takes it as a surprise so, as you said: "No stern warnings were issued".

The MAGA officials on the ground should have had more common sense.

The Trump weather service was criminally incompetent.

To be honest, this Kerville floof is reminding me of the whole Uvalde mass shooting event, not so far away.

"Responsible" people sat on their hands while children died and then blamed it all on "crisis actors".

But the stall is unpredictable.

Stalls can be seen in real time. Flash flood warnings can be, and are, issued in real time, in advance of actual rain.

Before Trump butchered NOAA, of course.

Trump destroyed weather prediction, ROBSON. That means he murdered these kids and you helped.

What was needed was a Flash Flood Warning, not a Flash Flood Watch. Watches are dime a dozen in Texas, A Watch m and you can go to bed, which is where these little girls died.

This response if for our resident idiots, smug because their families live elsewhere.

Meanwhile, those MAGA not calling the flood and deaths fake are saying it is as was due to chemtrails.

Three flood deaths from my community,

It was predicted that Trump would kill people by destroying weather analysis capability. Now that he's done so, everyone must realize this will only be the first in a long series of such disasters.

The other thing that was predicted was a mass casualty terrorist attack. Everyone knows that it's only a matter of time.

The inevitable conclusion of this thread is the statement of reality made right from the start:

Donald effed up and got a lot of people killed.

I know that it goes against MAGA's very soul to think that Donald ever effs up.

But he does eff up, on a regular basis, and this is far from the last time that we will have a mass casualty event.

From natural disasters.

Or from terrorist attacks, because we are being guarded by effing Kask Patel.

It's totally Republicans fault that it flooded in a very rural flood plain

Same way it's totally Democrats fault for there being fire in a fire plain.

It's Trump's fault for slovenly governance and a total lack of understanding or caring.

Like I said, this is going to be a trend. The fires will be included.

Meanwhile, VISITOR, a lot of little girls are dead.

But thanks about bragging on that future good job.

I've seen a creek bed that was dry and over grown for years flood out of its banks in less than half an hour.

#129 | Posted by visitor

Well I know that everyone in Texas has.

But we had to wait until Trump for a flash flood to kill seventy people.

#130 | Posted by BellRinger

This sort of stuff will happen again, and again, and again.

Because Bozo the Clown is in charge of it.

And you support him.

A sane man wouldn't have attacked the Weather Service.

There's no uncross reason for what Trump did.

Worse is coming.

There's no un-crazy reason for what Trump did.

This is your opportunity to contradict that, if you can.

#138 | Posted by BellRinger

I notice that you're not defending Trump's attacks on the National Weather Service.

This is because you can't.

Wait until the hurricanes start coming.

You are not a sane man.

#134 | POSTED BY BELLRINGER

You are a man who won't say why Trump's attacks on the Weather Service were sane.

In fact you make no attempt at all.

The theory you left standing is that Trump is a mentally ill incompetent.

There are going to be more storms in Texas.

Hurricane season is going to frighten the bejesus even from MAGA.
