Once someone convinces himself that government is the only one that can solve anything and everything, then it can never be big enough.


Yep. That's why never suck up to politicians and govt and give them any credit from local to national. Real people will do the work.

The NWS provided warnings. An evacuation plan was being executed. A major issue is that the evacuation point - thought to be high enough ground - was not high enough for the freak level of this storm and terrain. That said, it may be 50-100 year freak but not necessarily unprecedented or "this won't ever happen again" freak, so what is ultimately rebuilt - or not - will need to be carefully considered. That said, the beauty of this planet we live on involves risks to consume it and develop as humans in it. We can't remove all of it.

No I wouldn't. The President didn't cause this flood, he can only be judged based on his responsiveness. This isn't a bunch of illegals he let in who are killing Americans, it's a damn flood.

Nobody could have ever expected San Angelo to flood like this either.

I think many MLB Dominicans wouid beg to differ!


Lots of Hispanics are white. Not all.


Hispanic ... Peoples from Spanish speaking countries. Having said that most Spaniards do not consider themselves Hispanic (they consider themselves Spanish), go figure.

Yep, people are attracted to the riverbanks and the serene nature and recreation and it draws us closer and closer and then occasionally reminds us how dangerous it can be in very rare instances. It's almost unavoidable, because it is so unpredictable and we go generations or lifetimes between catastrophic floods, so people become complacent.

It is better than it used to be with flood plain calculations and some regulations on newer construction but the reality is we are drawn to the waterside, and always will be.

Out best bet is deploying a little modern technology to issue warnings. If we can do it for lightning and tornados, we can do it for floods. It just needs to be planned and standardized.

I did blame Biden for lack of response based on voter polls. This has been proven

This is a lie.

Stop with the "derp both sides" garbage!

Please find any example of F16 blaming Biden for a natural disaster! If you can't, then you should delete your post.



Umm. During the hurricane that went over North Carolina. We were saying that money that went to Ukraine could have helped them. We blamed the Biden admin for the Maui fires response.

Threads like this make me wonder if they're started by people who just got on social media for the first time.

Pick an event (natural disaster, death, assault, murder, attack, etc.), OP, and with just a simple search, you'll find similar, and worse, posts by people who see those that the horrible things happened to as "the other side," so they get to show their true selves, in all the digust and filth that they truly are. It doesn't matter if you're on the left or right, any event will bring out the truth in people, as hateful and vile as they truly are when they can hide behind a computer.

I'll add the entirety of South Texas to this as well due to Biden's open borders policy.

Umm.. FEMA was caught refusing aid to MAGA supporters. The right didn't politicize that, the left did.

Regressive leftists are claiming Trump CAUSED this disaster. That is completely different from criticizing the government's response to a disaster.

No one claimed Democrats caused the Hawaii fires, the east coast Hurricane, nor even the California fires. The criticism regarding California was about the state's resource management malfeasance.

Any POTUS being immediately present at a disaster site can hinder rescue efforts. Too much security baggage a POTUS has to bring with him that uses up and distracts local resources.

Trump has no business being any where near central Texas right now. If he had shown up then I would have been critical of that as political grand standing that was only degrading search and rescue efforts.

That said, There are members of both sides (left and right) who will try to score political points with any disaster. Trump himself has done this. It is the dark and dirty side of politics. For example remember when the army helicopter in DC crashed into that commercial airliner earlier this year? Literally within just a few hours after the accident before any actual investigation and fact gathering had taken place, there was a bunch of 'DEI hiring' speculation in social media and Trump himself criticizing the Biden administration as guilty for what happened. We can easily bring up examples of this for every disaster back and forth endlessly.

As soon as I see any news site starting to play the political 'blame game' in disaster coverage, I tune it out and turn it off. I am sick of those types of tribal party politics games.

And there were numerous people on the left claiming it was due to the cuts to the FAA...

Pretty much. What you WILL find is people blaming Biden for his piss poor response, and deservedly so. Trump is already sending in help and staying the Hell away.

Yep. There were people on both sides who immediately tried to start trying to score political points from a terrible accident before an investigation had taken place to determine the cause.

Difference was they were weeks delayed and massively unprepped. To the point that private helpers like Cleetus McFarland were getting grounded with threat of arrest before their dip**** governor mobilized the NC national guard. Volunteers were making liberal leadership look bad.

Meanwhile, Biden was vacationing on the beach, when it was a predicted hurricane that slow rolled its way up. Biden was still sending billions to Ukraine, while nothing was done for Appalachia. Also fema was reported as actively dodging Trump voters since it was an election year (this was caught on tape).

Comparing the 2 is idiotic. They had weeks to prepare as opposed to maybe 45 minutes.

The Biden Admin spent FEMA money to put Illegals in NY (and other places) in hotels.....so it was deserved.
