    From the excellent MSN article. Nice to see that some parents aren't a part of the Camp Mystic cult and are already speaking out in protest. And this one is a lawyer.  

    'Serena Aldrich, a lawyer from San Antonio whose two girls were rescued from Camp Mystic, said leaders “should have been taking every precaution,” given the risk.

    “My opinion is that they should have been paying attention to those warnings and evacuated the camp,” she said. “The flooding is not a new thing. I don’t know if it’s ever been to epic proportions like that, but ignoring the warnings doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.”'

    That was a Washington Post article reprinted by MSN. Credit where it’s due.

    If you were Elon Musk and wanted to copy only one thing you had unfettered access to, what would it be? 

    Everything the government has on my and all my competitors’ companies. He doesn’t give a flying fuck about Epstein and is only tossing out accusations against Trump to get under his skin because they’re both petulant children.

    Trumps July 4th post literally said he wanted use "REMIGRATION" to maga. 

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remigration

    Remigration is a far-right European concept of ethnic cleansing[1] via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, usually including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.

    If they would like to remigrate me back to Switzerland, I’d be okay with that.

    Story on my friend's mom who died in the flooding last week....

     
     

    Let me get this straight. There were two night watchmen 50 yds away and the owner of the organization was in contact with them. They evacuated the kids BY HELICOPTER. And NOBODY took the time to check on HER? Is that what I’m hearing? Because that sounds like her death was extremely avoidable and that was some serious negligence by her boss.

    What kind of American leaves to celebrate his nation's independence day in another country?

    Eight Republican congressmen spent their Independence Day in Moscow seven years ago.

    Obviously that effort was a huge success as manifested by Trump’s performance in Helsinki.

    I'd kill to have aggy Rick Perry back as governor.

    The guy who once called for a day of prayer for rain? That could be awkward. Who can predict how long it takes for prayers to be answered? The Lord moves in mysterious ways.

    ”Oops.”

    Meanwhile, my idiot BIL is posting on Facebook “Cloud seating has GOT to stop!”

    I would like to sit on a cloud. That sounds fun. I don’t think it’s possible.

    Did he really spell it that way?

    I don't believe anything changed about that.  You just can't relocate a city like that.  Instead, they improved the levee system and other flood control improvements.  

    I don’t think Texas Fight is a serious poster.

    Where did they rebuild New Orleans?

    You’re an idiot. Are you some banned troll re-registered under a new name? Or are you a new moron we haven’t met before?

    Are you imagining that or do you have specific quotes from specific people?

    “All hurricanes are acts of God, because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God, and they are -- were recipients of the judgment of God for that. The newspaper carried the story in our local area that was not carried nationally that there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came. And the promise of that parade was that it was going to reach a level of sexuality never demonstrated before in any of the other Gay Pride parades. So I believe that the judgment of God is a very real thing. I know that there are people who demur from that, but I believe that the Bible teaches that when you violate the law of God, that God brings punishment sometimes before the day of judgment. And I believe that the Hurricane Katrina was, in fact, the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans.”

    - Pastor John Hagee

    There were a not insignificant number of people, whose current political philosophies you can now guess, that said Katrina was God's vengeance on the dirty darkies and den of iniquity that was NO.

    One prominent voice who blamed it on the gays was San Antonio’s own John Hagee.

    Say what? The amount of effort, money, attention, etc… that went into searching and helping New Orleans during Katrina is unprecedented. Even after the fact.

    Heckuva job, Texas Fight.
