MAGA response to floods in Texas

[sealybobo]

who was cheap? explain it for us?

Trump took care of CA

no one can stop natural disaster. Yet it seems someone ought to? weird. Let me know when you can control the rain and fire.

that's all old news. move on.

petty. You act with no compassion.

Who fking cares?

Who was cheap? Republicans. DOGE.

Didn't Elon tell you that the way he made cuts, some bad things would happen? Well, here is an example of that.

National Weather Service seeks to fill 155 ‘critical’ vacancies ahead of hurricane season​

The National Weather Service has been hard hit by personnel cuts under the Trump administration

The two Texas NWS offices most closely involved in forecasting and warning about the flooding on the Guadalupe River — Austin-San Antonio and San Angelo — are missing some key staff members

This vacancy in the Austin-San Antonio office, along with other key roles, were the result of early retirement incentives offered by the Trump administration to shrink the size of the federal government, a NOAA official told CNN.

Forecast offices stretched thin​

Several NWS offices around the country are worse off than San Angelo or Austin-San Antionio, working with such thin staffing that they no longer operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Many NWS forecast offices have ceased launching their twice-a-day weather balloons, which provide critical data that can alert forecasters to the potential for flooding and other hazardous weather.

Research efforts to find answers to these forecasting questions could soon slip backwards, experts warn, if the Trump administration’s 2026 budget proposal is enacted — just as the country needs to push the limits on what weather models are capable of.

The budget seeks to eliminate all of NOAA’s weather and climate research labs along with institutes jointly run with universities around the country. The entire research division of NOAA would be eliminated under the proposal, which is subject to congressional approval.

This would shut down research and development of new forecasting technologies, including computer modeling and severe weather warning scenarios, and hamper prediction of hazards including flash floods.

One of the NOAA labs slated to be shut down is the National Severe Storms Lab in Norman, Oklahoma, which works to improve flash flood forecasting among other hazards from severe thunderstorms.

The NOAA research cuts would come just as human-caused climate change is resulting in more frequent and intense downpours like the ones that led to this tragedy in Texas.

How did DOGE cause 12 inches of rain in 45 minutes?

before any DOGE existed.

So what, what is it you think would have been different?

The two Texas NWS offices most closely involved in forecasting and warning about the flooding on the Guadalupe River — Austin-San Antonio and San Angelo — are missing some key staff members

They were actually overstaffed, so you're factually incorrect.

This vacancy in the Austin-San Antonio office, along with other key roles, were the result of early retirement incentives offered by the Trump administration to shrink the size of the federal government, a NOAA official told CNN.

Who gives a fk, now you're saying someone neglected their duties, post your evidence.

bullshit, they have people on call, it's how everyone does it. Nothing was missed. Post the evidence otherwise.

Many NWS forecast offices have ceased launching their twice-a-day weather balloons, which provide critical data that can alert forecasters to the potential for flooding and other hazardous weather.

why did they stop? How's that on DOGE?

You talking about this:

"Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick of Texas acknowledged on Monday that lives could have been saved if there were flood-warning sirens along the river, and said they needed to be in place by next summer."

The sirens weren't taken down, they were never there. DOGE cuts had nothing to do with it.

how did the other campers escape?

That's a great point....News reports are that there were some 750 campers, and staff....How'd they all get out, and these people didn't?

Fact of the matter is that this was a tragedy, and to their best efforts some were not spared....To focus blame while parents are still looking for bodies, or effects, is just plain heartless, and ghoulish....IMHO, there is a special place in hell for those that are doing that....I'm looking at you Sealyboo....

how did the other campers escape?

Better locations primarily, both there and other camps. The ones with the little kids were the closest to the water-and those got washed through first. There are nearly 20 camps on the river.

Stupid comment after stupid question. Epic fail. Even when you guys fail you claim you're winning. Other people are telling me gas is cheaper now. Still over $3. Drill baby drill. Sucker.

And now tell us how that is Trump's fault....

no, no, no, you all are screaming there was no warning, so how did the other campers know?

so punk, can't answer is your pivot. And your only pivot cause you got fking nothing to share here. No fking go away nat.

 

[sealybobo]

And now tell us how that is Trump's fault....

How is the CA fires Biden's fault?
This reminds me of when you blamed Obama for the BP oil spill. That was all you had for the midterms. Gawd voters are so dumb. Americans are so dumb. And Republicans are dumbing you down

 

[j-mac]

Stupid comment after stupid question. Epic fail.

IOW, you can't address it, so it's a stupid question....What a weak ass loser.

Even when you guys fail you claim you're winning. Other people are telling me gas is cheaper now. Still over $3. Drill baby drill. Sucker.

What in the absolute **** does that have to do with the TX flood?

You have ADD or something?

 

[Zincwarrior]

And now tell us how that is Trump's fault....

Why? Thats stupid.

no, no, no, you all are screaming there was no warning, so how did the other campers know?

They were were higher up the bank and could flee.

 

[jc456]

How is the CA fires Biden's fault?

Another Pivot cause you have nothing.

so go off topic.

they weren't, no one said they were. They were Newsome's and the mayor of LA. stay on topic punk,

This reminds me of when you blamed Obama for the BP oil spill. That was all you had for the midterms. Gawd voters are so dumb. Americans are so dumb. And Republicans are dumbing you down

got nothing do you! not one fking thing you useless nat.

What did Biden do about the CA wildfires? That'd be a good topic, you should start a thread....

Voters are dumb, you're living proof.

 

[jc456]

Why? Thats stupid.

so you can't say it huh? chicken little like always. Never have any accountability for your lying

They were were higher up the bank and could flee.

how did they know to leave?

 

[Zincwarrior]

You are arguing with the wrong poster. A lack of sirens is a state/county issue.

how did they know to leave?

They saw the building blow out. They were older. They were in one of the 20 other campgrounds. Are you well?

that doesn't answer how they knew to get out. You avoid the actual answer. There was a warning message, and people took action to leave.

Still waiting for how this is on DOGE or Trump. Simply post it.

Isn't it ridiculous when I try to do to Trump what you do to Biden or Kamala? That shit doesn't work on smart people like me. But you know this blaming Gavin or Biden for the CA wildfires is all politics. And Trump kissing Abbotts ass and Abbott kissing Noems ass and Trump's ass we know they are playing politics with the Texas floods.

Sounds ridiculous when I try to make it political. But when you do it, you're good at shoveling shit.
