So much misinformation. So many lies
The governor said Tuesday that the state had “assets, resources and personnel” in place before the July 4 floods. On Wednesday evening, the death toll rose to 120.
Kerrville’s mayor said he was unaware of any help sent by the state to his community ahead of the flood, a day after Gov. Greg Abbott said the state had “assets, resources and personnel” in place two days before a flood tore through the Hill Country, claiming 120 lives as of Wednesday evening.
Activating them and using them are two entirely different things.

That last item threw me a bit. Attacking radar installations? These people are batshit crazy! And many of them own firearms. What has the Orange Menace unleashed on this country?

I highly recommend this article. If we don’t go with our values, compromising them means we validate the other guy’s values.
STARMER’S POLITICAL MYOPIA IS TYPICAL of politicians and commentators I would characterize as reactionary centrists—those who, in addition to having moderate policy preferences, share a view of the far right as having unaccountably low agency, and figuring them as simply reacting to the actions (and alleged excesses) of leftists, progressives, and advocates of social justice.1

What the actual fuck, what evil has Doppler radar done to anyone?
"“targeted for elimination by victims of U.S. weather experimentation.”
They are fucking insane.

This childish bullshit is going to be a wet firecracker, because everyone involved (Kash, Dumb Blondie, Bongoboy) is a complete fucking moron.
So, probably a distraction from the important stuff they are fucking up (everything).

Trump administration will never bring Brennen and Comey to trial because to do so would open the door to discovery. Even Blondi is not that dumb.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem waited four days to sign off crucial aid for the Texas floods—but did find time to post on social media about her official portrait.
Four officials at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which falls under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security, told CNN that a newly introduced requirement for Noem’s signature on any contract and grant over $100,000 delayed their response to the flooding in Texas, where 120 people have died and a further 150 are missing.
CNN reported that FEMA was unable to move Urban Search and Rescue crews into position when waters started rising on Friday because it needed Noem’s signature, which did not come until Monday.

Going to? Obviously you’re the reason why they are no longer on her desk.

This is the proper way to frame this. If things were reversed, The Rethugs & Jake Tapper would have her fired in about a week.

If this was the case, why didn’t Abbott contact the locals? Noem and the Trump administration and Abbott along with the Texas legislature are responsible for people losing their lives.

“Even Blondi is not that dumb.” And Bondi says “Hold my white wine spritzer.”
