WTF-Beta

After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

Let's see which typical Republican response fits best for this situation:
Thoughts and prayers
People die
They'll get over it

Any others come to mind?

That was an interesting read - thanks!

I retired from CPS in 2013, and I haven't kept up much. The political punishment is harsh and swift for those wanting to address these sorts of issues with simmering racial overtones involved. Layer on top of that the lack of national, state and city funding over the years for updating or replacing aging buildings has led to the current situation. The addition of charter schools with performance about the same as public schools has caused its share of student losses as well.

Signaling we've seen the last election for a while...

2 peas in a pod...

Isn't that considered a positive for government workers in the new Republican party?

A buddy of mine has joined some of the storm-chasers on a ride-along...

Similar for unused tubs and showers and drains to prevent the water in the traps from evaporating.

I need a guide to find one that isn't over ripe.. The worst for us is cutting one open to find a mealy, mushy inside. We prefer a crisp, barely ripe one!

The trades for a bigger win...

Imagine the "big brother is watching" uproar if this came from the Obama or Biden administration...

Worked for us! We drove up to sit in a bunch of patio furniture to figure out what felt best.

Hey dads, make this a great day!

I would like to see local police and state national guard troops challenging the kidnappers claiming to be working for ICE or other federal agencies. Show of ID and document all names involved. Take any into custody without proper ID and warrents. I've already seen reports of "bad people" donning the rag-tag uniform of the day with face mask to abduct women...

It all makes some sense if you set the "MAGA" time machine to the Guilded age or Antebellum America. The monied elete are all that matters, everyone else is considered disposable. We got a hint with senator Ernst's "We are all going to die" quote. It could be the Republican answer to almost any issue.

Losing heath insurance? .
Gun control?
Workplace/public safety?
Food, drug and water safety?
Disaster relief?
...and the list goes on and on...

Hoping much of the pretend policing types doing the illegal kidnapping also find themselves behind bars...

Wildly dressed people of all ages walking through the neighborhood on the way to any number of outdoor events! The wildest is this weekend - "Beyond Wonderland"

Beyonce and Taylor Swift fans had some great outfits too! Lot of "micro-business" show up on the path to sell stuff. My favorite hawkers shout out "hydration or intoxication" from behind big coolers filled to the top.

They've been planning on consolidating power of the executive using any means for decades...

Wow, exposing the grift!

"That is the real reason why Starship was doomed to fail from the beginning. It’s not trying to revolutionise the space industry; if it were, its concept, design, and testing plan would be totally different. Instead, the entire project is optimised to fleece as much money from the US taxpayer as possible, and as such, that is all it will ever do."
