  1. "Well this was actually a narrow ruling, and it technically leaves the door open for Trump's property to formally request emancipation from an 'independent' personhood panel of experts, powered by Grok™ and Palantir so it's not that bad."
  2. You'll notice that's precisely the playbook Zohran used, with overwhelming success. Fuck the naysayers.
  3. It's easier to forecast Flash floods than it is to forecast river crests because the former is mostly an inference you draw from projected rainfall totals while the latter probably requires the input of hydrologists and more precise information about when and where that rain fell relative to the rivers, and that might not have been available quickly enough to NWS. One would expect local officials who are more familiar with this enormous, awe-inspiring natural wonder that could also kill people and wildlife to have some more direct way of monitoring the status of that natural wonder and that they would also understand the relationship between rainfall and the closeness with which one would expect them to be monitoring it. But that's just me.
  4. If I had to boil it down to three commandments: No more gerontocracy Take full advantage of every opportunity at all times Class First in all aspects of the game There's obviously more but I think you'd see dramatic improvement just with those three commandments being obeyed. They need to get serious about getting power, retaining power, and using power in the fleeting moments when they actually wield it. They need to get serious about purging the fucking losers and cowards who taught them how to get walked all over, pushed around, and tricked. It's time we had a party that used GOP tactics to do beneficial things for the people. Voters will reward that, and they do not and will never again reward stupid shit like sportsmanship and civility.
  5. The Amway script has luxury cars and Rolexes.
  6. Basically any statewide Dem in NY is a good example of what ails the Dems.
  7. People will be livid when the Kerr County officials group texts and whatsapps get leaked
  8. They only had TRUTHSOCIAL on their phones
  9. Will Elon Musk fund an independent investigation?
  10. The more people believe it's nothing but sideshows, knockout, and flaming barrels, the slower the gentrification
  11. I use public transit and rideshare.
  12. https://www.dshs.texas.gov/youth-camp-program The laws I found from there: https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/HS/htm/HS.141.htm https://texas-sos.appianportalsgov.com/rules-and-meetings?chapter=265&interface=VIEW_TAC&part=1&subchapter=B&title=25 https://www.dshs.texas.gov/sites/default/files/youthcamp/pdf/TAC_25-1-265 JM 10242024.pdf I poked around but didn't see anything about weather or evacuations Actually: https://www.dshs.texas.gov/sites/default/files/youthcamp/pdf/TAC_25-1-265 JM 10242024.pdf So in theory they needed to have something written down to get their license. I'd love to know what it says and if the plan was followed.
  13. The thing I was responding to was the union facebook page trying to throw Austin's (Black) fire chief under the bus, but I agree with you that the real story is the July 2 part.
  14. Okay but did you think of all the facebook likes these departmental pages got for each picture they post of their badass new tacticool toys? You wouldn't want those funds to be spent on soy DEI health departments or weather alarms.
  15. this was probably the same money Durant OK used to build its own doppler radar. Party line vote in Congress by the way.
  16. I'm remembering Harvey differently then. I thought it had hit the Corpus area then pushed back out into the Gulf where it parked itself for about three days. Houston saw rain for longer than those three days of course but I don't think it was parked the whole time
  17. I cannot remember any tropical system that parked itself in the same place for so long. Not even Harvey.
  18. If it's something they believe is good that happened on Trump's watch, then Trump personally and directly is responsible for it and nobody else. If it's something they believe is bad that happened on Trump's watch, then the all-powerful Deep State is responsible for it despite the brave efforts of Trump and all like-minded Real American Patriots. If it's something they believe is bad that happened on a democrat's watch, then Trump alone would have prevented it just by being in office. If it's something they believe is good that happened on a democrat's watch, it's the delayed effects of Trump's policies and it would have been an even bigger, better success if Trump had been in office.
  19. I recently learned there's a town in Oklahoma that recently bought and maintains its own doppler radar, Durant OK, since its located on the periphery of the two or so nearest NWS radars and they felt they needed better data for emergency preparedness. Whoops, turns out Durant used federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which was introduced by a demonRat and signed into law by Brandon https://www.kxii.com/2023/03/08/city-durant-installs-new-weather-radar/
  20. I agree with you, partially. I don't think that the two owners (RIP) alone were to blame. It will come out that there were survivors, or even folks who don't live on the campsite or who were out of town for the holiday weekend, that played a role in the camp's lax approach to severe weather. Whoever wants "accountability" will find living people to throw the book at. And Twice said that there are companies, corporations, or whatever, that could have the deep pockets, or the "estates" of the owners that are now dead.
  21. Probably won't stop the lawsuits.
  22. The camp was private right? not sure how deep those pockets are, probably not deep enough, but everything I've seen screams big fat lawsuit
