1. This is the country Texas wanted. No scientists. No federal employees.

This is just the beginning of the hell they voted for.

15. Yup, they trade no trans swimmers

For their kids lives. Good trade, huh?

Guns are more important than their children.

And yes who goes to the bathroom where is more important their kids lives.

2. I predict Trump will throw Elon under the bus over this.

[Glen Livid]

3. This isn't a political issue, it's a tragedy.

We can decry the funding cuts, but in truth they wouldn't have impacted the prediction.
What's sad is that there are two-dozen children missing and need to be found.

Nim Kidd, chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, told a news conference on Friday night that the National Weather Service (NWS) forecast “did not predict the amount of rain that we saw.”

Maybe Trump shouldn't have defunded the NWS.

7. NWS forecasters gave the warnings for several days, including the hours before the tragedy

If higher-level NOAA/NWS officials, Texas officials, and local officials neglected to respond, the blame must fall on them. Why didn't the camp administration follow the development of events and react accordingly?

[BoRaGard]

9. Trump owes those families a sincere apology

He should get on his knees and beg their forgiveness.

10. Golfing is more important to trump than the safety of children

[twodogsbarking]

18. Dont blame mango mussolini too much

Hes likely to bomb other countries when his press is bad.

[Clouds Passing]

19. The notsees have fine-tuned their genocide agend.

21. The ideological dismantling of NOAA and NWS begins on page 674 of Project 2025 and is well underway.

One of the provisions of Project 2025 was the dismantling of NOAA and NWS. We are seeing the results
