    I know it’s annoying. I know that message I posted is the same thing, over and over. Yet….its also true.
    Shit, the metaphor works well in this thread. Sorry not sorry I keep shouting about the wall of water headed our way. Maybe if we’d fucking do something about it, and not double down on our current path, I wouldn’t have to say anything else.
    But it genuinely pisses me off when everyone tries to sell the “this is Texas, we love and help each other!” lie when those same people celebrate tossing a huge percentage of this state’s population, the people who build your homes, prepare your food, to the ground in cuffs, shove them in camps, all that shit. I’d love it if we meant what we said and practiced what we preached. And I’m sorry if it upsets you to be reminded that we don’t. But I’ll never be silent in the face of this shit. It would be evil for me to do so.
    Care for every human in this state as much as you care for each of those little girls, that’s all I ask. Yet, it’s clearly too much to ask.

     

    Maybe you should do something about it instead of posting on a message board?

    I mean....maybe.  Sometimes, some humans do some decent shit.  But most of the time, the majority of us dedicate all of our efforts and collective social policy to hurting others.  Free tamales are great.  But they don't make up for the fact that - as just one example - if they were being served by undocumented people, most every person in the area doing volunteer work would stop to cheer on ICE as the grabbed them and tossed them in a van.  It doesn't make up for the fact that most of those people will continue to do all they can to insure that our government entities are further defunded and attacked so they become even less able to try to prevent future disasters.

    Free food is window dressing.  It doesn't conceal the rot behind those windows.

    We need to be the kind of society that actually works to make sure that tragedies like this don't happen anymore, or at least don't happen to this degree.  And that is the one thing that we can all rest assured will NOT happen in this case.  Or any other.  We'll stick with the victory of our new state motto, "It Could Have Been Worse."

    The CG crews working during Katrina were fucking real-deal heroes.  They worked past their allowed time.  They were exhausted.  Some crews were told to stand down.  They refused, and kept on rescuing people.  The CG is some of the best of what we've got.  I'm glad we have them.

    The reality is NOTHING is going to move the needle. It doesn't matter how many children are lost. That is not CR, that is reality. Period. 

    Bad shit happens. This is obviously at the extreme end of bad on the shit scale. Unfortunately, the geology and location exacerbates flooding issues in this particular area.

    You spewing off CR acting like this is somehow anyone’s fault is bullshit though.

    Nevermind that they all use the same sources for their radar maps, and we have been defunding weather radar systems and deactivating data sharing systems all over the place.

    Someone said up thread this is complete outlier, and I fear that these data points are going to be less and less the outlier as we lean harder into fucking the environment and climate

    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.

    A lot of Steele dossier stuff. 
    Hunter laptop labeling as disinformation by former intel leaders. 

    The cabal is too busy negging to care about facts anyway. You’ll never change these people- just hope that surly is not the majority of this country.

    It’s pretty remarkable that Rex Tillerson was never able to dumb it down enough for him to understand the broad concepts.

    It’s pretty remarkable that dipshits like you continue to come on this thread spouting useless drivel despite not knowing one fucking thing about the industry.

    Glad this distraction seems to be resolving so people can return their focus to the other war against brown going on at home

    You mean illegal aliens and potential terrorists? 
     

    Yeah I don’t give a fuck.

    i am so sick of all of this talk about how wrong it was to bomb iran and how it puts everyone at risk. This was the best opportunity there may ever be to eliminate as much of irans nuclear program as possible with as little(relatively) loss of life as possible. every president since jimmy carter has said that iran cannot have nukes. every fucking one. and now when trump does it everyone loses their mind. now i see people with iranian flags on twitter and facebook and instagram like theyre not running around poking womens eyes out for letting their hair show or murding a girl because she didnt wear a hijab. get the fuck out of here. There is a lot to criticize trump for but this is not fucking it. everyone should be congratulating him for doing it.

    Do you know where you are?

    This to me suggests something tropical in nature.  Maybe a storm crosses over from the Pacific?  I don't know, but his has been a great summer so far. Buchanan will be up 6 feet in the last month!
