Soros is a calamari appetizer compared to the army of Kraken behind Trump but at least it's an intersectional movement that includes gentile and non-gentile billionaires. Progress!

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. 

patricia says the gutted noaa told all of the counties and cities they were about to get a 27-foot wall of water

leaders of cities and counties say nay

kxan requesting all comms

wouldn't dare post this over in the dt feels thread but this shaping to be a popcorn-consuming event

probably should be in the leopards thread but that would be cruel to the maga families who lost kids

psa: lake medina sits at 2.9%, the top of the dam is 1076', and these deaths took place at 1900', so it remains comical that we do not have a giant flood control system for these hill country rivers that do this once every 10 years

i was laying in bed at 2am watching the system sit in place and rotate - it was a tight, 50-mile wide miniature hurricane and looked exactly like the blanco event from 15 which i also watched live on the radar

maybe wheels and paxton can hire some fascist cruelty iterns to take turns watching the kxan radar - that's all it would have taken to save 50 dead kids

Every preventable tragedy is partly caused by a pervasive culture among political and media figures that, in the past, stigmatized discussing exactly what should be discussed, that stigmatized advocating exactly what should be advocated, and that stigmatized spending political capital exactly when and on exactly what political capital should be spent.

Every single person who participates in "This is not the time and place" culture is standing in the way of saving lives in the future. I hope we remember that when (not if) this happens again.

Agreed.  Same can be said for Uvalde?  Sutherland Springs?  Santa Fe?     But there is a faction that continues to deny that guns kill people, and that our climate isn't affected by humans.

Was just having that conversation with someone who was much closer to Republican inside circles than I ever was.  Conversation ended with "When Abbott took over for Perry, did you ever imagine how badly you'd be longing for the return to the relatively decent and benign reign of Perry?"

I'd kneecap any 10 Surly posters if it would get Rick Perry back in the governor's mansion.

I mean, I'd also probably kneecap any 10 Surly posters just because we've all got it coming, but still....

I think I’ve told you this before, but I would make Rick Perry Governor for life if it saved us one month of Greg Abbott. He’s the worst governor we have ever had, and no one is close. 

Both of you are missing the obvious catch here.  Perry of 15 years ago was way better than the current shit heaps, but I bet Perry today would be every bit as terrible as Hot Wheels now that he knows there will be no accountability for anything.

I honestly don’t think that’s true. I’m not going to praise Rick Perry but he’s a real person with core values and cares about outcomes. Greg Abbott has a hole inside he has tried to fill by getting to the next thing. They are different.

Fair. So who’d they vote for?

Kerr County:

Donald J. Trump 76.8%

Kamala Harris 22.4%

Most Mystic campers are going to be from affluent areas, so it's not guaranteed, but a decent percentage of Trumpists.

Trump has a way of coring those people out.  Eating out their substance.

Texas will do absolutely nothing

This is offensive. Stop. Do you have any idea how high Ted and Heidi are lifting them up in prayer? Still think they're doing nothing?

Wrong. In addition to thoughts and prayers, we never forget.
