MAGA simps, DOGE cut weather etc slots in Texas.
It's murder of little girls.
It's murder of little girls.
Same tactics used during 45 and these assholes on the left line up do it all over again.
Useless idiots.
Yeah, but now the normies have figured out they are lying scum so no one pays them any attention, except to mock them.
A major unfilled roll is the Warning Coordinator who was retired and not replaced.
Lie. Look above dipshit.

And BTW:Doge taking a chain saw to our weather monitoring and warning systems and to FEMA has made the tragedy of the Texas flood even worse than it had to be. Those agencies were in place for a reason, and should have never been degraded by someone who didn't even understand why we need those agencies.
Yes, it's quite possible that victims of the recent Texas flood could have received earlier or more effective warnings if not for cuts and policy shifts tied to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and former President Donald Trump's administration.
What Happened in Texas?
On July 4, 2025, catastrophic flash flooding struck areas along the Guadalupe River, leading to fatalities and widespread emergency rescues. Local authorities issued urgent warnings, but the scale and speed of the flooding overwhelmed many systems.
How DOGE and Trump’s Policies May Have Affected This
According to investigative reporting from the Texas Observer and San Antonio Current, the Trump administration’s DOGE initiative significantly impacted federal disaster preparedness and response:
- FEMA Cuts: DOGE slashed FEMA’s workforce by about 20% and froze parts of its funding.
- Disaster Aid Shift: Trump announced plans to phase out FEMA and shift disaster response responsibilities to individual states, arguing governors should handle emergencies independently.
- Climate Risk Data Degradation: DOGE reportedly dismantled or degraded federal resources that track and model climate-augmented weather risks, such as flood forecasting and early warning systems.
- Infrastructure Investment Delays: Federal support for flood prevention projects—like levees and drainage upgrades—was reduced or delayed, leaving vulnerable areas more exposed.
Could Earlier Warnings Have Been Possible?
While local agencies like the Harris County Flood Control District did issue warnings, the broader federal infrastructure that supports early detection, modeling, and communication of extreme weather risks may have been weakened. This could have:
- Reduced the lead time for warnings
- Limited the accuracy of flood forecasts
- Slowed coordination between federal and local responders
So while it's speculative to say definitively that lives would have been saved, the evidence strongly suggests that federal cuts and policy shifts under DOGE and Trump made Texas—and its residents—more vulnerable to disasters like this one.

I want to give you credit for politicising a catastrophe that killed a bunch of people.
Let's not worry about them or their families.
Let's make this about what you want it to be about.
You never were very classy.
You didn't help that any here.

You bet....that was the problem.
It's not like the Guadalupe rising 26 ft in 45 minutes doesn't happen every other week.. A warning coordinator would have been great for that.
Yet they keep on trying.

Yes because prior to January of this year NOAA and the weather guessers were batting 1.000.Doge taking a chain saw to our weather monitoring and warning systems and to FEMA has made the tragedy of the Texas flood even worse than it had to be.

Trump’s DOGE Cuts Are a Texas-Sized Disaster
Reckless agency layoffs and the dismantling of federal relief programs could leave the Lone Star State in peril.
Yet warnings were issued well in advance without your boy......Now what?
Independent meteorologists and a former NWS official said that warnings issued in the run-up to this weekend’s flooding were about as timely and accurate as could be expected with the weather data available in real time. Predicting extreme rainfall and flash flooding beyond several hours is challenging, they said, and it’s also not easy to ensure urgent warnings reach those most at risk.
Hey asshole............
By April, nearly half of NWS forecast offices had 20 percent vacancy rates.
But NWS meteorologist Jason Runyen said the New Braunfels office, which delivers forecasts for Austin, San Antonio and surrounding areas, had extra staff on duty during the storms.
'There were extra people in here that night, and that’s typical in every weather service office - you staff up for an event and bring people in on overtime and hold people over,' he said.
While Texas officials point fingers at the federal government, victims are frustrated with the lack of an efficient emergency response system to circulate emergency warnings.
'What they need is some kind of external system, like a tornado warning that tells people to get out now,' Christopher Flowers, 44, said.

'You have the river authorities and I know what they do,' the enraged Texan told the outlet.
'You cannot tell me it’s not their f***ing job to oversee this river and monitor this river, because that’s what they do. That’s their job.
_____________________
'The weather is extremely difficult to predict,' Noem said. 'But also that the National Weather Service, over the years at times, has done well and at times, we have all wanted more time and more warning and more notification.'
She said the Trump Administration is working to 'fix' and 'update the technology.'
'We needed to renew this ancient system that has been left in place with the federal government for many, many years and that is the reforms that are ongoing there.'
Bidementia?
Texas flood victims irate as officials blame National Weather Service
Victims of the flash floods wrecking havoc on Central Texas are infuriated as local officials blame the National Weather Service for failing to warn communities of the dire threat.

Elon's financial well-being should be a daily concern for MAGA, even more so than worrying about their homes being swept away in floods, along with their children.
