Isn't it funny how in 2019 the cameras were broken outside his cell, and now in 2025 there's no client list and there's actually video but it's missing a minute? YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME BILL BURR WOULD LIE TO ME??? Not the man who ushered Iran/Contra through its burial in the news?
If it weren't so gross and horrific that this ring of child abuse and traffic weren't being protected by the Trump administration, it would be funny.
Edit: the above source is garbage but it's what I found. Here's a more authoritative source:
https://www.justice.gov/video-files/video2.mp4
The video shifts frame and timing after the 1 minute skip. Which is not something you typically want to see in clean evidence.

and since every big urban connurbation has sirens already, the kerrvilles of the world get to use our urban tax dollars to help themselves (and 'crazy people from houston') stay alive while spending money in their economy - seems like a good deal to me
They literally had >$5M dropped into one of their accounts and they refused to spend it because it was from the Federal Government and they would do a COVID on them. I'm not fucking kidding
QuoteResident: Are you accountable to anyone for how you spend it? Or is it a, kind of, a reward and shows your support for this particular program? It's not free money. Being present as we talk. How do we know this? Immediately. Unless you want it on the COVID lies and vaccination pressure, you have to send it back. Those are heavy strings. And those are strings. The deep state harangue and vilified President Trump for calling COVID for what it was and then suggest responses that were non-draconian, and then when Biden took office, the leftist government took its gloves off. It has lied and lied more about this COVID -- about COVID.
The temptation is great, you're accountable, and we would like to know where your allegiance is.
Resident 2: And I'm here to ask this Court today to send this money back to the Biden administration, which I consider to be the most criminal treasonous communist government ever to hold the White House. And Kerr County should not be accepting anything from these people. They're currently facilitating an invasion of our border, and we're going to support these people? So that's what I have to say. Thank you.
Resident: I happen to know that there is no such thing as free money. It's never government-funded; it's tax-payer funded. So they're taking our money and they're putting strings attached to it and then they're giving it back to us. And they're going to get their foot in the door in this county. We don't want their money. I feel like the people have spoken and I stand with the people. Thank you for your time.
COMMISSIONER BELEW: We have money in the bank, $5.1 million, that was sent to Kerr County.
JUDGE KELLY: We didn't ask for it. They sent it.
COMMISSIONER BELEW: They sent it.
MS. DEWELL: Exactly.
COMMISSIONER BELEW: The money is in the bank right now. Hasn't been spent. In the event that you don't spend it, you send it back. That's part of the Treasury's rules on it. If you do spend it, whatever percentage, there would be no expense to the taxpayers in Kerr County. It would all come out of that account, no matter what you do with it.
JUDGE KELLY: And GrantWorks has been very helpful in -- in getting us focused on what colors between the lines and what doesn't. As of last Thursday, when I got a call from Bonnie White telling me about this -- the problem that y'all were going to present at the meeting, I went and got on the telephone to their Senior Vice President from GrantWorks. And there -- there are discussions that they want to have with us and so we want to sit down and listen to them. And we want -- we want you to hear them, too. Because you're the public. But we -- we need to know and get very comfortable with where we are with this grant before we start taking that money. And the claw back was the first thing. As far as where that money sits for the next year or two, my old law partner John Cornyn tells me that if we send it back it's going to New Jersey or it's going to New York or it's going to --
MRS. LAVENDER: Or California.
JUDGE KELLY: -- or California. And so I don't know if I'd rather be the custodian of the money until we decide what we have to do with it rather than giving it back to the government to spend it on values that we in Kerr County don't agree with. So --
COMMISSIONER BELEW: And any spending of it would have to be done in Commissioners' Court so you'll be able to see it and know it.
They eventually signed a $7.5M contract with Motorola for emergecny comms which just serve fire fighters, cops, and EMS.

Take it to the cloak room jabroni. Keep this bullshit out of here.
what the fuck? Flooding and hurricanes affects us all - it's not political. What the fuck is wrong with some of you? We shouldn't be cheering on the woodchipping of our emergency infrastructure.
Fecklessly attempting to shout down factual reporting is fucking political. It's a goddamn weather man!

Not they aren't. They're still voting down early warning systems, and refusing to spend one red dime on anything that doesn't benefit them directly.
In their meeting minutes, they specifically said they didn't want sirens since they'd only be useful for non-locals.
Whoops. A bunch of non-local children died.

Mr. Hewitt: Sirens did not seem to get very much support. The thought was that sirens are better for tourists than local residents. The sirens would only be beneficial for someone that's not familiar with the area, and wouldn't know what to do.
....
COMMISSIONER MOSER: The cost of that whole thing is going to be like 976 thousand dollars. That's a lot of money. All of it, and the reason we're here today and moving so quickly is that there is a FEMA grant that's available until as long as we apply by January the 20th.
JUDGE POLLARD: Which is when President Obama goes out of office.
(Laughter.)
JUDGE POLLARD: Well, the reason I mention that is because he authorized this particular thing, and it's going to --
MS. KIRBY: It's a coincidence.
COMMISSIONER MOSER: Going on the record with that it's a coincidence. And so there has to be a presidential declaration of disaster to be able to have these kinds of funds available. So it goes away just so happens to be when he leaves office.
...
COMMISSIONER REEVES: And I will say and, Sheriff, you can correct me if I'm off base on this, the camps have had a very good system of letting down river if there's a rise, they're phoning their competitors or colleagues down river and letting them know what happened. It's informal as you said, but it's been a very good system to let them know over time.
more good links to the meeting minutes in the link below in the spoiler.
SpoilerThey also turned down an ARPA grant in 2021 because it came from the wrong color president and they were being crazy about COVID. We're all getting the Texas that we voted for.
And it is a Texas that doesn't give a shit about dead children.

Is it the state, or the people? Chicken, or the egg?
The same man who said we should all be doing is praying, is the same man who unilaterally authorized billions for a border wall project that has since been abandoned unfinished. There's money available, but that would be admitting that the climate has changed and become more dangerous for Texans.
But I'll leave further comments for a more appropriate thread.

As has been pointed out, there's a lot of "virtue-signalling" surrounding prayer these days. And I don't think Jesus would approve.
Not like there's a parable explicitly about that or anything lol.
11 hours ago, Storm the Field said:Insensitive asshole here, but there's a thing I've seen the last 48 hours I just can't quite wrap my head around:
I've seen god knows how many "prayer warrior" posts the past few days, 99.9% from women, including a lot by women I know, that seem convinced if they post on social media that they're praying hard enough, they can literally cause rescue to occur. Like Stringer said in his post earlier, it's as if here's a finite prayer threshold that must be met before a miraculous outcome can be granted.
I absolutely understand the benefit (and inherent goodness) of having friends express genuine, heartfelt sympathy, but this ain't it.
My biggest issue is that the State is advocating for prayer over implementation of meaningful flood alert and warning systems. Can't spend a million on sirens, but can find billions for hateful projects that are quickly abandoned. But please keep praying!!!!

They won't. That's the beauty of the cult. You can profess to know the contents of every single email on Hunter's laptop, but you can completely ignore and pretend that you've never heard about all the things that make it 99.6% likely that you voted for a pedophile on three separate occasions.
Never believe that fascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.

Someone previously stated something to the effect of "...yeah I turned my phone on do not disturb at bedtime". Yep, I'm guilty of that at times. Anyone else guilty? Hindsight usually has 20/20 vision. Before it is all over there will be plenty of blame to go around.
Emergency alerts punch through DnD, but people started turning them off after the State started to abuse it with the BLUE ALERTS for a cop stubbing their baby toe 500 miles away

It prompts the question why local officials didn't get off their asses, call all the camps, or hell, stop by, and say, "hey, you know what's going on with the weather, right? Do you have a plan? If not, let's make one right now."
Why would those repubican public servants give a shit about serving the public?

i posted some content in the cr thread which supports the hypothesis that this type of event on the guadalupe south fork is far more frequent than every 500 years
I have a deep dark feeling that they don't want to update the flood plain maps because they'd be admitting there's a problem with their current emergency plan. It would drive insurance out of the state, and destroy RE values if it turned out vast swaths of "500 year flood plains" are really more like "50 year flood plains"

We're not talking about court generally, or fascists generally, just Jordan Lasker. We're talking about facts and whether and how they should be used when they come from a tainted source.
You will find any fucking excuse to twist what I say into support for fascists.
More just hopeful that one day you'll realize your analytical legal mind is getting led around by the nose by the fascists. Their entire game is to turn shields into swords and disseminate disinformation, and you only ever seem to tut-tut the forces working against that, for fear of being "just as bad as the fascists".
How about you start paying attention to outcomes instead of procedure? I know that the fascists are hoping we all just stop worrying about outcomes and just get twisted over complying with bullshit rules of decorum and evidence that they're planning to break anyways.

4 minutes ago, Wilcox Cummingtonite said:Not the time and place. NWS did a fine job forecasting and warning accordingly with flash flood emergencies as the event progressed into shit.
Fuck off dude, not everything is a government conspiracy.
Who's claiming a conspiracy? Weather patterns are measurably more intense than they used to be, because of the increase of thermal energy in the system in general. It's the same oscillations as there's ever been, just getting more and more intense as our climate gets ever warmer. A couple degrees net increase in your body leads to all sorts of dysfunction and discomfort - a couple degrees net on the world is gonna do that on the scale that only mother nature can bring.
As a Texan, it's pretty fucking important to be congizant of that reality. Plus, gutting our gulf weather data sources is only going to make that challenge of prediction of both timing and scale even harder thr stochastic environment known as Texas.

July 4th Hill Country Flooding Tragedy
in Daily Texan
Posted
CNN is doing some big reporting on the ground. Their chief investigative reporter is a Mystic Alum and is following the story. Quoting from another thread:
Horrible receipts to find. Kerr County didn't interact with NWS while all adjacent counties did.
