This is a perfect example of politicizing a disaster for your own partisan purposes. I read garbage like this and just shake my head. You don’t even know what you’re talking about, you’re just regurgitating the same left-wing BS.

And what exactly did the cuts achieve overall? It really didn't make a dent in the debt, which the Rs just raised by a sh*% ton. All for the sake of cutting taxes mostly for the rich.

Or was this just all God's will? I can't keep up with MAGA excuses.


You realize cuts had nothing to do with this disaster - right? NWS did its job and sent out flood warnings and evacuation notices all through the night. There was no cell service in this area.

Why can’t you people be honest, even just once? This had nothing to do with Trump or cuts at all. The NWS was fully staffed and operational.


There are vacancies at the NWS and specifically this particular office. It sounds like a veteran employee there would normally have called specific contacts at the county, but since he was now retired, that didn't happen, so yes, this was Trump's fault. It was also a colossal failure at the county level.

And not save us a single penny in doing so but actually cost us all a boatload of money with a lot less to show for it, including less years alive.

The floods became more catastrophic in recent years


Recent as in 20 years ago recent? Remind me what office Trump held in 1997


The county refused to pay for alert systems that would notify residents in an emergency. They said it was too expensive.

They’ve been confusing NOAA with Noah. And realized there’s no ark on the way.

Made the situation worse, just like when Trump cut CDC funding to infectious disease experts in China right before covid hit. Covid would've still hit, but we would've gotten more advance warning. Same for flooding in TX - lack of advance warning and preparation.

The time to politicize governmental failure in a tragedy is when anyone is still paying attention.

Academic studies back this up.

If people are not attuned as to what failed at the federal, state and local level that would have avoided this tragedy, then it will happen again as it did before.
