Opinion This Administration stripped funding and fired people that would have warned about this.

[Blayt7hh]

Do you have a source for there were "insufficient warnings"?

I actually don’t think that there were insufficient warnings. I think this should be a wake up call to a lot of people though to stop playing this silly game where we pretend that climate change is not real and that we have full command of our environment. We don’t and nature just reminded us how powerless we can be.

The scary truth of this I think really is that on that day and the days leading up to it, it was already too late to prevent that tragedy. It may be time to start reconsidering where it is safe to be when even a seemingly normal storm is predicted. We are having more and more previously unprecedented disasters or event after another. Our world is changing and it’s time we recognize it and plan accordingly.

The first responders and rescue teams all represented themselves well during this. I can’t imagine how challenging and terrifying it must be to try and operate in this situation.

Here's where all of your focus should be in a moment like this

Maybe 3 or 4 more tweets would’ve driven the point home better.

God you smooth brains never miss an opportunity to embarrass yourselves. Every single accusation in this thread has been debunked. Never change, keep losing

guys like @AmonTobin keep using the same sources that get debunked in every thread, yet he continually runs back to them everytime.

It's almost like staying in a bubble shapes your world view and slow turns you into an ignoramus. Eventually you just become chicken little and nobody takes you seriously and just laughs at you and the one time you are right about something nobody will care.

What does Fema have to do with this dipshit?

All of y'all are fucking morons

There are still people missing. They are searching. FEMA is helping. Without fema, there would be less help.

Not sure why you would think it has nothing to do with this.

Are you actually defending Turd Cruz?

He's in fucking Greece blowing cock, while talking about praying an being a hardcore Texan..

Well actually these floods are caused by intense rainfall so technically the sky was falling. But your panic over trans people and immigrants is Chicken Little shit for sure.

 

[Lycandroid]

Well actually the sky is technically falling during flash floods. But your panic over trans people and immigrants is Chicken Little shit for sure.

What panic ?

 

[AmonTobin]

What panic ?

 

[Belaya Smert]

They also built that camp on a flood plain and didn’t have first alert sirens. But yeah it shouldn’t have had funding removed.

FEMA? lol..

The State of Texas and the Cajun navy were there days before FEMA.

You’re fucking retarded

Tell me again what FEMA did for the Maui fire victims? And the NC flood victims?

FEMA showed up several days late and handed out $700 checks to help with expenditures

They’ve always been that way.

I’ve rode out two hurricanes and Harvey over 20 years. FEMA response has always been dogshit going back to Katrina



FEMA is garbage

Stay in your lane dipshit. The entire emergency response is local and State. Give them the money.

You don’t have worry about some asshat Federal employee denying aid to Conservstives

It’s hilarious to hear y'all's retarded opinions of what you think is happening

 

[Scerpi]

Are you actually defending Turd Cruz?

He's in fucking Greece blowing cock, while talking about praying an being a hardcore Texan..

No asshat

Because FEMA doesn’t do shit in the early emergency response stage.

Never have.

lol… have you clowns paid attention to recent natural disasters?

And this thread was about the NWS… lol

And the OP was dead wrong on every count

Clowns all of you

 

[HomeCheese]

Is Texas the most poorly run state in the country? Every time they get a weather event lot and lots of people die. Cold snap killed around 500 a few years ago and now this. You know when it rains up country there the lower levels will flood. It happens in that area often.

No excuse to have fucked up this badly.

Texas over all has a large economy obviously with the resource extraction but it still manages to be a welfare state taking in more money from the federal government than they pay in taxes. States like California are tired of floating poorly run states like this.

I read that earlier this year they arrested something like 240 Texans for child sex crimes and freed 109 children! WTF??? How long was this shit going on? Apparently the investigation took a decade? Like they let it happen that long?

Texas has the largest outbreak of measles the US has seen in a long time.

From the outside it looks like Texas doesn't care about its people or maybe they are just extremely incompetent. Can someone who lives there explain this?

@Scerpi Don't you live there?

Fled Cruz living up to his name. Dude could have flown back sooner but Fled decided to hang out in Greece a little longer on Isreal's dime. I wonder if Fled left his dog alone again or at least boarded him this time.

 

[Natural Order]

My understanding is that floods are typical for this area, people living there know this, and plenty of alerts were administered before this occurred. Do we have any real facts and understanding here?

What is the current synopsis?

Nice cherry picking. You are clearly clueless on this subject. Of course state and local will be first on the scene. Thanks captain obvious. FEMA is there to supplement the local response. Texas has taken some of the most fema money in the last decade and that scumbag Cruz leaves the state during emergencies. No wonder he wants them defunded. Keep white knighting the scumbag.

From NC and how Cajun Navy shamed FEMA



Honestly, when did you asshats on the left start loving the Federal Government

They waste billions and offer almost nothing in return

Fuck off. Like I said. I’ve been here for three major storms and FEMA hasn’t done shit.

They show up late and offer peanuts. Come on dipshit, what has FEMA done for the people in Maui or LA? Or North Carolina?

Please… post something asshat. You can’t

It’s all local and state responses. And that’s where emergency money should be allocated to.

I can offer example after example of them falling on their face during emergency responses.

lol…

You want to suck their dick? lol… go ahead. I know you Canadians love to be told what to do by your Governent. You voted that clown Trudeau in.

Go on… go balls deep

Yes it does. When you fire a bunch of national weather service people that are able to predict this, you also cant complain.
Ya know its a bit disgusting that you refuse to heap any blame on your bad boy trump and his crappy administration.

Can you at get the trump wang out of your mouth

If Texans care so much about each other then why didn't the people living in the hills tell the people down stream it was raining a lot up here? I mean, when it rains too much in the hills it floods downstream. How many times has this valley flooded yet the state green lighted summer camps on the river.

Seems like every time there is a storm in Texas a bunch of people die or a bunch of people are getting measles or there is a huge ring of child sex offenders. Certainly Texas is in the bottom 2-5 states for healthcare.

It seems like Texans could care less about the population.
