  1. If it's something they believe is good that happened on Trump's watch, then Trump personally and directly is responsible for it and nobody else. If it's something they believe is bad that happened on Trump's watch, then the all-powerful Deep State is responsible for it despite the brave efforts of Trump and all like-minded Real American Patriots. If it's something they believe is bad that happened on a democrat's watch, then Trump alone would have prevented it just by being in office. If it's something they believe is good that happened on a democrat's watch, it's the delayed effects of Trump's policies and it would have been an even bigger, better success if Trump had been in office.
  2. I recently learned there's a town in Oklahoma that recently bought and maintains its own doppler radar, Durant OK, since its located on the periphery of the two or so nearest NWS radars and they felt they needed better data for emergency preparedness. Whoops, turns out Durant used federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which was introduced by a demonRat and signed into law by Brandon https://www.kxii.com/2023/03/08/city-durant-installs-new-weather-radar/
  3. I agree with you, partially. I don't think that the two owners (RIP) alone were to blame. It will come out that there were survivors, or even folks who don't live on the campsite or who were out of town for the holiday weekend, that played a role in the camp's lax approach to severe weather. Whoever wants "accountability" will find living people to throw the book at. And Twice said that there are companies, corporations, or whatever, that could have the deep pockets, or the "estates" of the owners that are now dead.
  4. Probably won't stop the lawsuits.
  5. The camp was private right? not sure how deep those pockets are, probably not deep enough, but everything I've seen screams big fat lawsuit
  6. Even 8th graders have their standards
  7. They didn't let her stay in the dorms? Was it a nice tree at least?
  8. lots of room for "luggage" no doubt
  9. I think these are blasted out from towers to everything in range, based on alerts I've received in other states
  10. That part of Texas and most of South Texas is completely dependent on oilfield and law enforcement jobs. Very low percentage of people with college education
  11. They won't settle for just half a mil. Not even close, imo they already picked the black fire chief from the big scary city
  12. at least two counselors were Mexican nationals
  13. And, look, I love EMT and firefighters and all first responders as much as everyone else. These brave public servants are heroes, but five nerds sitting in a shitty office in New Braunfels with supercomputers who have probably saved hundreds more lives deserve just as much celebration.
  14. Eventually we will learn that most of the dead were not people who would have survived if the rescue operations had been better staffed. These deaths were 99% drownings or blunt force injuries, not starvation or dehydrations caused by delayed rescues. If I'm wrong, I'll admit it. However, when we say someone was "swept away" they are pretty much guaranteed not to survive that even when it's a small urban stream. This was a huge river of dirty water full of trees and debris flowing at highway speeds.
  15. Looks like the facebook crowd has found their black villain
  16. cheap shot monday morning quarterbacking. i'd expect this from police unions but firefighters? I'm sure most of the usual "don't bring up politics" facebook people are gonna show up en masse any moment now.
  17. I'm supposed to be mad about a non-deployment decision from June 2 that might have improved rescue operations on June 4? How long does it actually take to bring out swift boats from Austin to Kerr County? Wouldn't Baker needed to have known, ahead of time, exactly where along the Guadalupe to send those boats? Is that even possible? And if he'd done that and the rain bomb had landed in the City of Austin how would Baker explain that the swift boats were several counties away? I'm sorry I just don't understand the accusation here.
  18. It's not that they're white, although it doesn't hurt. It's that they're wealthy, they're influential, and they have on speed dial everyone who matters in Austin and DC. I don't think there will even be a need for lawsuits, they'll just fastforward to Abbott convening a special session to cut each of those families a $10M check courtesy of John Q Taxpayer.
  19. https://www.quora.com/Who-do-I-give-evidence-to-that-Jeff-Epstein-was-framed-by-corrupt-DOJ-employees-between-2001-and-2008 You really can find all kinds of people on the internet
  20. Brisket draws a lot of water in this community. You don't draw shit.
  21. Spanish language media quietly doing a great job interviewing counselors who moved children to safety For the Peggy Hills of the world, YouTube closed captions has a half-decent (emphasis on half) automatic translation feature.
  22. Nothing is weird about young people making friends and staying in touch over the years. Some people, it would seem, have a hard time understanding how a summer camp would be a place where that sort of thing would happen.
  23. When they said "could've been worse" at the first presser, Ted being there is the "worse" we all had in mind.
