Tell Me About Kerrville/Kerr County
MIL sold to Kerrville about 4 years ago after the FIL died. Sold the ranch in Harper and moved to where here friends were. We were thrilled for her to have access to medical facilities, HEB, etc just a few minutes away vs her living 45 minutes from anything at the ranch. She had a great place in a 55+ gated community just a half mile north of the Guadalupe. We helped her get settled and were visiting every few months or so and were really impressed w/ how cute, accessible and friendly the downtown was. We loved walking along the river park that has now been destroyed by the floods. She was only in that place a few years (long enough to renovate it) when she moved out to the Tierra Linda ranch area. She just couldn't get used to living that close to people so she found a house on 5 acres ("it's turnkey!"...she's spent the last 18 months gutting the place). She's about 5 miles from downtown Kerrville now. It does seem to be a very retiree friendly & equipped town. It's not a place we'd ever retire to (no place in Texas fits that mold), but it does have a lot to offer.

Ken Paxton is dirty? NO FUCKING WAY!

This Guy Got Knocked The Fuckkkkk Out
He was channeling his inner Stallone a la Over the Top. Removing the glove released his inner animal just like turning the baseball cap.

Ken Paxton is dirty? NO FUCKING WAY!
As an unfaithful, lying, thieving, fraudulent huckster who has made a mockery of the legal system in Texas resulting in taxpayers being forced to pay for his abuse of power...he's guar-an-fucking-teed to be the #1 vote getter at the next CPAC poll for '28 GOP candidates.

In fairness, Noem had more pressing things to do last weekend like start online polls asking people to select her official portrait.

What other plays do they have? 1 - Act of God. Nothing could be done. 2 - Blame Democrats. In Texas. 3 - Blame "those people" wink, wink because Obama's tan suit blah blah blah I'm thinking about going to CafePress and designing a shirt that says something like: DEI = hard 'r'

That Abbott speech is going to be lampooned for years as it should be. Hell, Jon Stewart & the Daily Show writers could do 5 easy minutes on "Texans love football" and contrast how easily voters will approve multi-million dollar HS football stadiums all across the state, but a $900k investment in warning sirens is too expensive or worrisome due to false alarms. What a fucking unfunny joke we are to allow this type of "leadership" to represent us.

Reads like a classic NIMBY to me. He was worried about being bothered by sirens going off at all hours of the night. The dude must've been damn near 80 when he was serving as a county commissioner. How loud would the sirens have to be for him to be annoyed by them?

Trump’s America
Only if you're a gullible bootlicker. Here's the thing: Trump accepts accountability for nothing. The MAGAts celebrate this. Musk. Biden. Obama. AOC. Bigfoot and Kim Kardashian's secret love child. Anyone dotard says is the reason for something bad is lapped up by his base. He's only a master deal maker if you have the IQ of the hairball my cat barfed up at 2AM this morning.

That Kerr co. commissioner Moser from 2016 sounds like a grade A fucktard. I hope he's still alive & is wracked with grief & pain over the consequences of his decisions.

Well, it might have been even MORE rain if Hot Wheels & his Holy Rollers weren't furiously praying down on bended knee. Did ya even consider that?

Heavy downpour just started again in Cedar Park. Not ideal.

You're surprised? Really?!? In 2017 he said our military didn’t have any bullets because Obama & Biden didn't appropriate funds for ammunition. There's nothing he won't blame on someone else.

You know, the billions of dollars Abbott & Co wasted on a few miles of border fence in the middle of nowhere that will have zero impact on immigration sure seems like it might have come in useful to help guard against an event like this.

Hahahaha...that's a good one. Now, if Abbott comes out & says this network will somehow be powered by coal trucked in from West Virginia....

Yep. Because they know the next one is scheduled for 6PM and it's going to be the exact same fucking script.

2025 Thread of the Rains
Yeah, I've got a lot of standing water in my backyard here in 78613 and a steady river in the side yard between my neighbor's house. We're not in danger of flooding here but it's going to be a soggy mess for days to come.

Hot Wheels trying to shut down the presser as the questions become more direct. Noem's trying to dodge the question re: the failure to respond to the NWS alerts. And plant a kiss on her boss's balloon knot in the process.
-

This presser was delayed 90 minutes for this? Did it take them that long to agree the proper sequence to kiss ass? Now Hot Wheels is trying to to invoke the image of children clinging to trees for exactly what purpose? "Pray so much." Great job, dipshit.

And now Chip is doing everything he can to shame anyone who would dare to ask questions about the response and preparedness of the responding agencies. And now it's the judge's turn to try and get some sympathy for what he went through.
