The Dems Shouldn't Be Asking The Administration In D.C. Or Texas Whether Any Of The Funding Costs Contributed To The....

Texas flood death toll.

We all know their answers. They will just deny that lack of funding and firings at NOAA had anything to do with the death toll. That the Dems are just being political. This is not the time for these questions.

That's how these Repugs react to any criticism that looks to put blame on them.

The Dems should do what the Repugs would do under similar circumstances if the shoe were on the other foot.

The Dems should just make these accusations and watch the Repug reaction - because we all know that this is exactly what the Repugs would do to the Dems.

In the first place - it is know and they've had other floods in this Texas River Valley through the years. Why the hell would you rebuild camps in the area. That's just asking for trouble. There's even talk now so soon after this tragedy - to rebuild in the aftermath. How dumb!!!

This tragedy should be pinned solely on Tr**p and the political leaders in Texas. It was preventable. But greed got in the way
