Trump sent you a nice tweet over Truth Social. You won’t get much more than that from him, so you might as well frame it.
We told you he only cares about giving billionaires tax cuts, and he would cut everything else to give them those tax cuts, plus raise our national debt into the stratosphere. We’re already paying $88 billion dollars a month in interest on our national debt, and now it’s going to be more.
But you didn’t want to listen, did you? So now you will have to deal with this on your own. It’s very sad. Thoughts and prayers for Texas. We didn’t do this to you.
You did.

Do you actually wake up this incredibly stupid, or do you have to, like, pregame?

Bob, I don't like Trump either, but this sort of thing at a time like this is not helpful.

Our incredible U.S. Coast Guard, together with State First Responders, have saved more than 850 lives. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!
I expect Trump to visit there soon. Even though he’s not naturally touchy-feely like Obama and Biden, they love him there, and his presence will be comforting.

Wow.
Trump is the most genuine human being we have had as a President in my lifetime, bar none.

I can't argue with that. He's narcissistic, incoherent, vindictive, unstable, petty, rude, and just plain despicable. But since he doesn't make any effort to hide any of that, I would say that makes him pretty genuine.
And yes, Sonya Johnson's statement was completely inappropriate.

Pretty funny. I'd use every one of those adjectives to describe any one of the so called 'leaders' of the democrat party.
AOC. Crocket, Hilary, Schumer, Maxine Waters, Hakeem Jeffries. As well as the innumerable lower level 'judges' and lawyers who think they are running the country.
But I would add the adjective 'stupid'.

Not quite a perfect avatar for the current Democratic Party leadership, but it is pretty good. Thanks Elwood!

So much for the flooding... oh, and not a whole lot of possibility for advance warning. Warnings were issued. Not a whole lot of sirens etc out there. Stupid idiots who blame lacks in nws. Grow the fuck up.

Jeff's friend's son's bud's family perished. A former church member of mine had kids rescued from Camp La Junta.

I was watching an interview last night with one of the survivors who stated that they did get the warnings, but everyone ignored them. In a way, I get that. We have so many tornado warnings here that my happy ass was on the couch when one hit our neighborhood last year. A large mistake.
In the same interview, a Kerr County commissioner was talking about a siren warning system for flooding in the area that was voted down because of the expense. It was interesting to me when he said he wished he could go back and change his vote. Too little, too late, and now over 100 people dead. For want of a siren.
Don't ignore warnings. Even if you think they're stupid.

Amen. Although I'm not sure there would have been much more time available even with a siren. Flash floods kinda have their own timeline.

Some moron actually asked Leavitt '...why did they send the warnings at a time when most people were sleeping...' or words to that effect...

You obviously haven't availed yourself of insurance. This was, indeed, an act of God. Even irrespective of insurance. I find your shit offensive.

"Acts of God" are pretty much in every construction and insurance contract. It is a thing, legally even for athiests, and in actuality for everyone.
Tell me the truth, prior to this weekend, you are camping along the river, but 25 feet above it, in a cabin that has been there 50+ years. Are you really worried?

How are the weather warnings in New Mexico, Oklahoma and Northeast working?
