At least 80 people died here so far in Texas and Trump is doing or saying NOTHING. (Edit I was wrong it's actually 100+)

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

I'd be scared to live in states with backwards leadership like Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Florida that are now responsible for things the federal government used to provide.

Obama/Biden gave them money to fix this shyt 10 years ago. They chose not to for....reasons. Local politicians AND citizens didn't want to fix it.

I don't blame the victims because those are tourists and kids who didn't have control over it.

RIP to the blue voters. The republicans that died can burn in hell.

My motto

 

[Wargames]

It’s really looking like at least 200+ people died from this…..

Also gotta add....

Texas should ALWAYS be on point when it comes to weather.

We literally got some of the most dangerous weather in the country:

Ice storms
Blizzards in the panhandle
Extreme drought
Flash floods
Tornadoes
Hurricanes
Haboob/wind storms
Swamp heat
Desert heat
Massive hail storms

Notice how Trump either outright ignores bad news that he's responsible for OR denies all involvement. It's deliberate as a means of killing stories and the media constantly lets him get away with it. He'll say things like "I haven't heard anything about that" or "I'm not familiar with him/her" and the media just goes ok and moves on lol.

The modern media is absolutely terrible

They are as much to blame as any other faction/entity for this shyt show we have now.

Have you heard of the new menace T. H... C?



It's a big priority

Crazy thing is the house the cameraman is in isn't safe either . If the water is that bad, then landslides are likely

The people who voted for him are the ones that get the blame. You had him before and said I want that again. There’s tons of people on both sides who don’t even care for the media. People would rather listen to podcasters who they agree with rather than watching a newscaster who presents all sides of a story.

 

[HabitualChiller]

The people of Texas are willing to live with these inconveniences from time to time. They can rationalize these events with religion and take comfort in the fact that their family or friends didn’t die. This is the reality.

Yep. That's that infamous American apathy at work in full effect. Thoughts and prayers are what are usually doled out instead of reform(s).

 

[Eternally Jaded]

Media is a Smooth 50%+ the reason this piece of shyt is in office. You cannot pretend if you paid any attention that they dont routinely pile on Democrats while defending the indefensible of Republicans. Trump gets to make statements when he should be making explanations. They frame it all a certain way usually but also let him veer off course unchallenged otherwise. Hand-in-glove.

I've ranted about this FOR YEARS now.

Back in 2015 they kept the mic in his face, putting out soundbytes because he was so obnoxious and loud, and literally helped him suck up all the oxygen in the room.

Because he was good for ratings.

Any viable media would've cut off coverage because he was so obviously unfit and carny but because he got clicks/eyes watching, they kept feeding the beast.

Because of for profit news media.

Capitalism literally ruins everything it touches.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

As soon as budgets started getting cut planes were falling out the sky and now severe weather alerts are lacking ahead of bad storms. It seems that you can't not make it political when everything is.

 

[Damba]

his sister died a few years ago, made it to her mid 80s.

He’s declining fast, its extremely hard to listen to him while he’s talking.

This is a very important. Texas is a state that has willfully avoided upgrading its power grid because …climate change is really not a thing.
