New York Times: FEMA Let Texans Drown While Calls Went Unanswered

Conservative from Georgia said:
Strawman. Nobody is criticizing FEMA for not “stopping the flood”. The article says in the first paragraph that survivors needed assistance and were ignored.
Residents reported property damage, requested temporary housing and debris removal, and asked about restoring utilities…a flood’s fallout doesn’t end in 48 hours.

ask Florida and Carolina how great FEMA was.

Looks like Trump’s grand plan to “phase out FEMA” hit a brick wall…or maybe a raging flood. When Texas went under, FEMA couldn’t even pick up the phone: “nearly two‑thirds of calls” went unanswered two days after the flood hit. Turns out cutting staff and defunding emergency services isn’t just bold…it’s deadly.

And yet, Trump swooped in July 11, patting himself on the back, praising himself for doing what he just approved two days . Meanwhile, his Homeland Security sidekick Kristi Noem slapped a four-day “approval rule” on flood funds while she paused to choose her Insta portrait . Nothing says leadership like delaying rescue crews until you nail down the perfect selfie lighting.

So go ahead, Trump supporters—feel free to keep parroting “big government bad.” Just remember: when your money’s on the line, you love federal aid. When the chips are down, you beg and beg—and then mock anyone who dares ask why your “drain the swamp” hero let FEMA drown on his watch.

They wouldn’t help people with Trump signs in Florida or North Carolina. I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t answer the phone for a Christian camp in Texas.

The Times is a joke. I remember when you could believe some of the things written in that paper. Nowadays, they can't even get the box scores right. Their lack of credibility took years to build. Their reputation as a dispenser of propaganda is well earned. Disregard the NYT, WaPo, MSNBC and CNN for being the radical liberal PsOS that they are.

104 people died in North Carolina during floods under the Biden administration and you fuckers didn't seem to care, because now you have Trump to ***** about.

Seems you loons have a huge issue with hypocrisy.
 
Yet another example of how hate-filled and irresponsible the New York Times and the left media as a whole have become.
They - HOURLY - comb through any stories they can find where they can find any fault in ANYTHING - and then make a mountain out of it - all the way 100% ignoring every single good story where things went right.

Pathetic - and anyone repeating and parroting these stories are equally pathetic.

Firefighters from Mexico aid Texas flood search and rescue​

4 days ago — A contingent of firefighters and first responders from Mexico arrived in Texas over the weekend to aid in search and rescue efforts.

A contingent of firefighters and first responders from Mexico arrived in Texas over the weekend to aid in search and rescue efforts following the devastating flooding of the Guadalupe River in a show of solidarity with their northern neighbors.

“When it comes to firefighters, there’s no borders,” Ismael Aldaba, founder of Fundación 911, in Acuña, Mexico, told CNN on Tuesday. “There’s nothing that’ll avoid us from helping another firefighter, another family. It doesn’t matter where we’re at in the world. That’s the whole point of our discipline and what we do.”


They represent one of a handful of volunteer groups, including highly skilled search and rescue teams from California, that have traveled to Texas after the flooding which is being described as one of the US’s deadliest floods in decades. Dozens of people are still missing.

ICE Barbie didn't arrest them?

YET.

She must have been waiting on her Flack jacket.

Within hours every asset nearby was saving lives. FEMA is more of a Manager office who pay others to help.

Locals, National guard, and the Coast Guard do the heavy lifting.
