    Oh good.  Kristi Noem is about to speak.  She surely has new, detailed information to offer.

    Just put the locals on and stop with this performative grandstanding by state and federal officials.

    Where are you seeing this?

  2. People are really sensitive about pointing fingers over in the rain thread, but it seems like to me that Texas government is pretty much like the federal government. They put their best people on the grift and the worst on policy and governance.

    I know no one wants to say it right now, but the people that own and operate the camps hold a lot of responsibility here.

    If you’re hosting that many children, at a site that close to a flood prone river, you should have at least one person on staff monitoring this 24/7, and a well established and trained evac plan.

    I said it earlier in the thread that there is no excuse for having as bad cell service as they do where all these camps are located. I don’t know who it is that fixes that but it always made me super nervous when my kids were going.

  4. I’m getting updates from a group actively looking for a loved one that there may be up to 200 people who are being transported out of Hunt to the reunification center in Ingram.  The process is very slow.  Fingers crossed that this is accurate. 
    Hoping for the best as this is just devastating for the family that I know.

    my doc group covers a small rural hospital in Trump country.  Red hats are the norm for those patients.  We were forced to take this contract as a condition to getting more lucrative urban contracts from this hospital system.   We have been trying to hire to help cover it for years to no avail.   This hospital will almost certainly close soon since 90% of the patients are Medicaid.  Oh well, problem solved and another big tax return for me.   Enjoy my liberal tear I guess.. 

    what is overlooked in all these discussions is that the bad shit that will happen due to Medicare cuts, will not occur until after the midterms next year because that’s when they go into effect.

    I have a friend who has a real-estate company in the Austin area (she's got a franchise or however that works).  She can easily see the parent company, who already has a bunch of developers working on adding AI to all of their tools/websites, doing away with franchises, and just having a main corporate office, and a handful of employees in each city who handle any face-to-face stuff that's needed (final walk-throughs, etc.).  She said there is so much in the real estate industry that could be automated on the financial side (planning, mortgage work, etc.) or done online remotely (and some already is) and the research side.

    That's a whole helluva lot of people who might go to D.C. in the future and try and stage an insurrection.

    I saw some guy talking on TV about how there was a blue collar uprising that ushered in the Trump era. He then went on to say that because of AI, the next uprising will be white collar due to AI job displacement.

    Surprise surprise surprise.  Collins voted against the bill but only because the gop didn’t need her vote with JD’s tie breaking vote.

    I heard on the radio today that she has a whopping 14% approval rating in Maine.

    You mean why are we being critical of Democratic leadership when they are doing basically nothing to combat anything the Republicans are doing? Gee whiz, I can't possibly imagine.

    The Democratic party is being the loudest it has been since the election, but their ire is directed at the NYC Democratic mayoral nominee and not the party that's actively destroying our country, that ought to clue you in at least a little bit.

    To do something you have to have power. They have none. 
    I am terribly unhappy about Dem leadership. But, that goes back years. 
    My larger point is that despite the moral depravity, self dealing, and possibly tyrannical shit being visited upon us by the R’s, it just seems so irrelevant to me.

    That isn't at all what I said, psycho. Take your fucking meds.

    You can both understand that the Republicans are doing absolutely heinous shit and be critical of Democratic party leadership.

    Thanks for making it easy on me and immediately exposing yourself as precisely the type of racist dipshit within the party that I'm being critical of, though. 

    Let's find out what other groups you want to blame [that aren't white men] for Kamala's loss, though. Just let it all out.

    See my post below. Sorry it triggered you.

    He never said anything about not voting for Dems or not wanting them in power. Do better. 

     

    My comment was satire on the whole the Dem’s are shit sentiment that I hear all too often.  Why are people even wasting their breath on this crap with everything going on?

    Sorry I didn’t get it down on your level. I’ll do better next time.

    There is broadly no equivalency, but Democratic leadership is absolute trash and has no direction other than whatever they can say to sell their books. They don't give a shit what the Republicans are doing for the most part.

    Mamdani's win has exposed a lot of the racist rot that is pervasive in the Democratic party that a whole lot of people love to pretend isn't there because the Republicans are just open about it.

    Yes, the democrats are definitely responsible for everything bad that is happening. They should be held accountable for all of these terrible Trump policies.  By all means, stop voting for them.  Things will definitely be better if they don’t ever gain power. 
    Just like those Muslim Americans in Dearborn. They definitely had the right idea.

    Or they're intimately familiar with the history of midterm elections.

     

    Then it would be the first time in our history that a political party just gave up on an election cycle in exchange for a once in a generation terrible piece of legislation.  The cuts to things in this bill will reverberate for decades.
