NWS cuts challenged due to flooding preparation in Texas

NWS was watching this a week out, issued warnings starting 12 hours out, and continued issuing more severe warnings. All of this met NWS guidelines.

But Dimwingers see dead kids, and what they thought was an opportunity to attack Trump.

It blew up in their pathetic faces.

No one is shitting on dead children. They’re shitting on MAGA for blowing up parts of government that they didn’t understand and then trying to hide from their responsibility.
 
You trying to cover up the trump administration’s incompetence is the bigger crime.

But…… those tax breaks for billionaires are necessary. <<<< **** That.
Lol, that's funny from a guy that supported Biden the auto pen president.

Show us the data proving the warnings per NWS guidelines caused this.
 
How many in each department? How do you explain all the warnings per NWS guidelines?

You idiots have no data to back up your TDS induced yaksqueeze.

You and other Dimwingers are shitting in their dead bodies while they are still in the water,

Disgusting POS.
 
That’s right, libs are blaming Trump for cutting waste, fraud, and abuse in the NWS for the deaths in the Texas floods.

The problem is these cuts don’t even happen for months.

Liberals are 100% evil.



To be clear, the "cuts" being cited are not only minimal and target bloat, not effective services, but they do not go into effect until October. As for any prior staff cuts (NOAA was in the process of cutting 10 percent of its staff), there is likewise no evidence that those hampered the forecasting of this event. Yet, even a California state senator is repeating the lie because he believes it helps him politically. The NWS could have a trillion-dollar budget, and it would have put out the same forecast.



Still waiting for Bulldog's shameful thread to be moved to the Conspiracy Forum.

The Trump administration is a disaster and Texas has been a shithole for a long time.

You’re proving it by the fact the you don’t even care that your politicians failed them.

Your shitty government failed those kids.

No warning system in the county. Too expensive. Taxpayers don’t want to pay for it.

I guess lower taxes is more important than the lives of kids.
