  1. In fairness, Noem had more pressing things to do last weekend like start online polls asking people to select her official portrait.
  2. 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'
  3. 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.
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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?
  8. Insert "alternative facts" from Kellyane Conway here.
  9. Heavy downpour just started again in Cedar Park. Not ideal.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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....
  13. Rot in hell you hobbit-sized POS.
  14. I'm from Minnesota. I've seen mosquitoes pick up a Buick.
  15. Yep. Because they know the next one is scheduled for 6PM and it's going to be the exact same fucking script.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. This is an absolute disgrace. These fuckers are doing nothing but filming campaign commercials.
  21. Holy shit, do the citizens dealing with this tragedy have to first listen to Abbott publicly suck off other politicians before getting any direction or guidance on how to move forward?
  22. When the mayor's only advice was "please pray" you know it's going to be a long next few days.
  23. "Devastating and deadly flood" from the presser. They have numbers about missing people, but will not be reporting them until a scheduled 3PM update.
  24. Unfortunately, this is the environmental reality of Texas today: In order for large swaths of our state to emerge from devastating drought it will require rain events that will destroy other areas. This storm is both tragic and life restoring.

    Stockton is indeed an orthopedic surgeon & was a kicker & punter for Texas '98 - 2000. Pretty damn reliable & had a walk off kick to beat the aggies at DKR as well.
