Blame for this horrifying tragedy can safely be laid at the feet of Elon Musk and his coterie of incels, including "Big Balls." (And of course DJT and Stephen Miller.) Gutting the National Weather Service and associated emergency notification systems has real-world consequences.
I chose to focus on the message that all our children are precious. The children of the people struggling to make ends meet, the children whose parents have been lucky enough to be able to provide for them.
The children who were born here, as well as the children whose parents brought them here.
The only inhabitants of the United States who were NOT immigrants were the indigenous people who lived here first.
Good advice. These "people" are coming out of the woodwork fast and furious because Trump is being found out for being a lying piece of s**t. It'll get more intense as time goes on and more errors in his governance come to light.
"Trump is being found out . . . "? Everyone who cared to find out about Trump could have done so in 2015. One thing Trump isn't good at is hiding exactly what he is.
But his followers are also good at denying what he is. Even when he says it himself! How do you beat that kind of double thinking, as Orwell called it?
Republicans will be praying for us 🙏🙄 as they lie and blame this on anyone else. 🏴☠️🖤It is heartbreaking 💔 anytime there is loss of life senselessly but when Americans (MAGA) endorse criminality and lawlessness things will not change for the better.😥
She is on the FAUX channel claiming that alerts went out hours before the floods and she just can't understand what went wrong! They are also shoveling out shit about faulty "floodplain maps from the democrats."
It's under her jurisdiction so now she's going to have her head handed to her by the orange buffoon. I knew she should have dyed her hair blonde like the others!
LOL I use captions for most videos. In one of them they get spelling her name Gnome. ". It’s quite different! The original Gnome was a small, ugly creature who lived underground. A wild being, he paid little attention to hygiene, and he certainly didn’t wear the colorful tailored clothes that Gnomes today are so fond of!"
Yeah those cheery little guys people stick in their gardens. Don’t insult gnomes by giving HER that name not even in jest lol. She’s actually uglier since her beauty jabs. I saw an earlier picture of her without the cosmetic treatments and fake hair, she was almost presentable. Why do women that are already quite attractive? Make themselves look so ugly with those fat lips that make them look like a fish out of water. I once caught a deep sea Red Snapper and the closer it came to the surface the more blown up it’s face became. That’s what these faces look like to me.
Our children really do deserve better...better education, better health care, better nutrition, better safety. You have to wonder, why the current administration is dismantling all of those things in their quest to find money to give the wealthy more tax breaks?
For some unfathomable reason, America is so anti-American, especially anti-children. It makes no sense at all. I think all politicians should have mandatory psychological evaluation tests before being allowed to run for office.
I just really hate how out of touch with average Americans most politicians are. I saw one the other day say, "the best way to get health insurance is to get a job". Do they actually believe it's that easy?
That’s the problem they actually don’t know how much health insurance can cost even one individual…I was in Real Estate and my health insurance was $424 a month…what a struggle…
There's no need for psych evals for politicians. Nearly all politicians have the same psych traits: love of self, prestige, power, and money. If you don't have these, you don't last. You might go into politics with altruistic motives, but you won't stay in without those other traits. The only exception I can think of just now is Jimmy Carter. You may have others in mind. [Worked in both a state capitol and D.C. for awhile. Had to get out to save my sanity and soul.]
It’s not just about giving tax breaks to the rich. It’s also about helping hardcore MAGAt men and women feel better about themselves amid their illiteracy and social unmarketability
I think so many of them get drunk on their power. But I can't remember a time when we saw so much cruelty and stupidity. Who thought it was a good idea to defund NOAA and NWS? Why do Republicans persist in sticking their heads in the sand about climate change when there is so much science and real-world evidence? Trump likes to say he's ushering in a new Golden Age, but what he's really bringing is a new Gilded Age where the robber barons have everything and the rest of us live in poverty.
Ah, the broad brush that paints MAGAts as illiterate and "socially unmarketable," whatever that means. That's one of the mistakes the Dems made leading up to 2024.
But don’t forget it’s to deport people. The ones that pick our fruit and vegetables and all the other lower paying jobs. In the sun and heat for hours and hours.
Trouble is these boneheads are in power. I am not sure there will be mid term elections. There is a little hope for the military not being turned onto protesters. There are lawyers willing to defend soldiers that disobey immoral orders.
Glad to see someone else is getting as mad as I am. Watch out though Carrie or even non maga will tell you to STFU. Inability to do anything makes it easy to blame others it seems.
This, just like al the deaths from gun violence will be tragically forgotten in a very short time by the people in charge who can change anything to prevent it . It's the families of lost those precious souls who will forever remember.
Authoritarians LIKE elections so they can justify their rule.
Many reliable sources are saying we will have elections. And elections are all run at the state level so I expect them to occur.
My biggest concern would be whether they are free and fair, which is why I feel it is VERY important to get to the bottom of the discrepancies and oddities in the 2024 elections in NY and PA, and other swing states too. And maybe interrogate elon some more - get him really angry so he spits out the truth, and we can then fight back….
My daughter went to a camp on the North Fork of the Guadelupe River during her teen years. Thankfully I only had to worry about her sun burn or chiggar bites. That area is a beautiful part of Texas and many people visit. My heart goes out to those dealing with loss and uncertainty at this time.
Please explain to me how 26 feet of water can just fall from the sky in less than 45 minutes that’s beyond mother nature‘s power. I researched. Was it a levy did something break there’s no NO information that I could find for the reason for this depth of water in a short amount of time But one thing is for sure. The meteorological technology that used to be able to warn people was gutted and we are entering hurricane season. I heard governor Abbott. He doesn’t even deserve to be called that saying don’t worry FEMA will be helping people. How can he straight out lie they gutted FEMA. Stay by state they are demolishing peoples houses land grabbing and yes people‘s lives and especially the children are getting caught up in this insanity. One of the directors of that Christian camp said on TikTok maybe the only reason this is getting the short term media coverage that it is Because the parents pay $5000 for those kids to go to that camp. She admitted if these were poor kids, it wouldn’t even be getting this much attention. No child’s life should have to have a price tag on it. It will only take a matter of a week and this story will disappear just like all the other tragedies and atrocities that are happening right now Unless it’s something newsworthy like selling alligator Alcatraz hats and T-shirts showing the cages people will be put in also bringing in individual incinerators. The videos are out there. It’s real people start calling this what it is genocide. I refused to participate on July for in any way shape or form, and I will never do it again. The only thing I saw was orange guy giving the salute like Hitler from the White House. This is incoming people it’s here. Call it what it is dictatorship👈💯
She’s a Sociopath - which means her amygdala is defective, and physiologically she cannot ever be “haunted” by any feeling (they have none - not their fault - that’s just how they are born).
That’s how, for example, she was able to shoot her puppy in the head when its energetic antics began to annoy her.
Just imagine what she’s going to do to hundreds of thousands of silenced Americans - in the $176 Billion worth of concentration camp prisons Republicans just approved for immediate construction throughout the nation.
I doubt Hitler cared either. This admin are all in for Trumps' white supremacy movement. The cruelty is the message he wants to send so that everybody behaves docile. Oh and rats on their neighbours too!
I’m fully aware of her inability to possess any thing remotely related of emotionality to be empathetic. ! She’s demonic ! I’m fully aware of all their intentions of what they will do with those incinerators. Trust me I don’t need anybody to tell me to do my homework. I’m very connected very well informed politically and I am on the right side of things. I am very educated don’t insult my intelligence.👈
Your insights are excellent. As far as so much rain suddenly falling, I live in Asia where typhoon season often inundates us. Too bad FEMA wasn’t appreciated when they had it. The future of America looks very dark. Good luck!!
Under the right conditions a storm that quickly delivers 10 inches of rain can easily cause a river to crest many feet above flood stage. Imagine the volume of rain 10 inches deep over just 1 acre. That is 36,300 cubic feet of water. I am guessing as to how many acres of rain would feed into that local river. Lets say 50 so that is more than 1,800,000 cubic feet of new water finding its way into the river in a short period of time. For a comparison, I figure that much water would cover 10 pro football fields to a height of 34 feet. With over 13 million gallons of rushing water with thousands of pounds of pressure in a narrow gulley, the only way for the water to go is up. ____ That said, this sad event may well have been preventable but it will be just one of many future disasters to occur because of the life threatening policies of the Orange Asshole and his toady, repugnant enablers. Vote BLUE in 2026. It will be our only chance to prevent a looming forever dictatorship.
The land was dry very dry. The landscape is a lot of rocks. There was a tropical storm and it brought rain and because it was dry and the rock it couldn’t absorb the water that fast. There was a warning on Thurs about 1 in the afternoon for flash floods .
It's no longer Mother Nature. It's Mother Nature on 1,5C above normal and 425 or higher carbon in the air. More moisture, blocked systems, longer lasting droughts and storms. Lots of things will happen aren't sure about yet but its HUMAN caused climate change and we could've stopped it but now we will pay the consequences for thousands of years.
It did not rain 24 feet in 4 hours. It rained 10 inches in that time. The water in the area gathered in the riverbed and the river's water level rose 24 feet. Otherwise, I pretty much agree with your post.
Didn't do anything I USED to do on the 4th! I did go to a community festival over that weekend because ppl I know we're performing. I had a great time. These NAZIS can miss me with the hypocritical celebration that makes Lady Liberty a lie!!!
Totally agree with you. I heard one expert say that when it's super hot that the atmosphere traps the water and that's why it results in huge storms during the summer.
I live in the Hill Country and while events like this are sometimes hard to forecast, this event could possibly have been mitigated had the NWS been fully staffed. The loss of any lives, especially the children, is too hard to bear. Such a tragedy. So pointless.
I am horrified and so sad over the loss of those innocent lives.
An idea that has occurred to me Is why we couldn’t have a ”Family Impact Statements” required for every policy proposal that impacts children and families?
After all children ARE our future as a nation!
Almost all nations in the developed world have more or less comprehensive family policies. Why couldn’t United States have the same, or at least approximation of it?
The GOP has made it clear since Sandy Hook that they don't care about children. Gun money is more important. Climate change is a hoax. Who cares if our grandchildren don't have a liveable planet? Why should we pay taxes for schools? Or school lunches? Or after-school programs that might keep kids away from crime? Or libraries? Or child care? Or prenatal and maternity health care? Let's just attack the migrants instead, many of whom are fleeing the destruction of their towns and farms because of global warming. This has actually been going on since the 1980s. Prolife is a lie. Probirth is what they want. They are wrong in so many ways.
Decades of politicians running AGAINST an effective,functioning federal government teamed with Citizens United means that many GOP politicians genuinely do not want a government that could deliver services to the population. THEY DON'T CARE.
That wasn't a flash flood. That was a darn tsunami. I saw a video of someone viewing it near a bridge. Trees were swallowed up and a bunch of lumber was carried with it, destroying everything in its path. Unfortunately, most warning systems were taken away. My condolences. 😢
Absolutely not. I just wish some people would get that through their thick skulls. We have some people up here in Canada who believe in conspiracy theories about chem trails. Incredibly stupid.
Heartbreaking. Every time such a tragedy involving children occurs, I too wonder why we cannot organize society around children's needs. (Needs for safety, security, love, respect, clean air and water, nutritious food, quality education, encouragement of their creativity and abilities?) What is more important?
We used to do much better for children in this country. Education was a priority. It all started to erode in the Reagan years and then with the Tea Party. No money for kids! Let's just get some more guns!

Nice message, but if you don't translate it into policy, that's all it is.
Very true. Since I am a 76 year old woman with no political clout, the best I can do is write to my senators and representatives, which I have done.
Spammer troll. Is there no way to get rid of “it”? It keeps coming back. My report button doesn’t work.
Absolutely. Thank you for stating this so clearly. They need to be held accountable.
Disagree.
Who the flip are you?
What the f... are you?
Kmn is a scamming troll. Don’t respond report and block.
Good advice. These "people" are coming out of the woodwork fast and furious because Trump is being found out for being a lying piece of s**t. It'll get more intense as time goes on and more errors in his governance come to light.

Yeah I reported them.
Human.
But are you a good human or a flawed human? Sorry to keep you awake.
He’s definitely not a “good” human being - but likely a Russian Bot, or worse...
Both. Being good is also being flawed.
You are either a Bot, or should be sold.
Yep. I agree 100%, Albert!
💯
100% ✊🇺🇸😎
Are y’all asking if I’m a bot? I clearly am a human.
Keep fighting the corruption and greed of this administration..the incompetence is staggering..he is a big bag of stinking evil
Regime.
REICH.
Republicans will be praying for us 🙏🙄 as they lie and blame this on anyone else. 🏴☠️🖤It is heartbreaking 💔 anytime there is loss of life senselessly but when Americans (MAGA) endorse criminality and lawlessness things will not change for the better.😥
They cant blame the Biden Administration for this
they already have -- "outdated equipment" or some other bullshit
That was not scheduled to be replaced.
It’s on your watch. It’s your responsibility.
POTUS is ALREADY blaming the Biden admin for this!
yup. he blamed "biden regulations." for starters.
Of course he does the little Twit-er.
And they have already started that.
We'll see.
I’m sure they will try to blame Biden.
Already have! That was the psychopath's response to the event. "It was because of Biden." Can't make this crap up.
Oh, they will twist themselves into pretzels to place blame elsewhere. I wonder what that twit, Karoline Leavitt, had to say, or will say. 😏✊🇺🇸😎
…but they will!!!
They will try.
yep Noem did. I just saw the clip
She is on the FAUX channel claiming that alerts went out hours before the floods and she just can't understand what went wrong! They are also shoveling out shit about faulty "floodplain maps from the democrats."
It's under her jurisdiction so now she's going to have her head handed to her by the orange buffoon. I knew she should have dyed her hair blonde like the others!

Gnomes today are supposed to be nicer so I think she must have regressed.
Yeah those cheery little guys people stick in their gardens. Don’t insult gnomes by giving HER that name not even in jest lol. She’s actually uglier since her beauty jabs. I saw an earlier picture of her without the cosmetic treatments and fake hair, she was almost presentable. Why do women that are already quite attractive?

Trump loves them for that very reason don't you know!
Ah, the broad brush that paints MAGAts as illiterate and "socially unmarketable," whatever that means. That's one of the mistakes the Dems made leading up to 2024.
Just the hardcore MAGAts. Says so right in the text.
But don’t forget it’s to deport people. The ones that pick our fruit and vegetables and all the other lower paying jobs. In the sun and heat for hours and hours.
I grieve.
then do something. about climate change. about gun violence. about maga. about doge. about trump.
Join us at the protests…
Trouble is these boneheads are in power. I am not sure there will be mid term elections. There is a little hope for the military not being turned onto protesters. There are lawyers willing to defend soldiers that disobey immoral orders.
I worry about the elections too. Not going to stop me protesting, though. Stay vigilant, folks!
Amen!! I like the strike and boycotting thing. aaNOBODY can force us to spend our money. We are not slaves either!!
Glad to see someone else is getting as mad as I am. Watch out though Carrie or even non maga will tell you to STFU. Inability to do anything makes it easy to blame others it seems.

We need to do better and elect people who represent us.
And get money out of politics and term limits in.
That would be a miracle. Money for nothing is like an addiction. But who knows what the future holds?
IF there ARE any more elections!
Authoritarians LIKE elections so they can justify their rule.

Nothing but more lies of stupidity from the brunette Barbie. FEMA has been gutted. 👈

Thanks for the explanation on the water volume, it's better than the one I posted.
The land was dry very dry. The landscape is a lot of rocks. There was a tropical storm and it brought rain and because it was dry and the rock it couldn’t absorb the water that fast. There was a warning on Thurs about 1 in the afternoon for flash floods .

Totally agree with you. I heard one expert say that when it's super hot that the atmosphere traps the water and that's why it results in huge storms during the summer.
If only the old Republitards who don't have children could agree. But there heads are too far up to see human misery. They only see $ for them.
I live in the Hill Country and while events like this are sometimes hard to forecast, this event could possibly have been mitigated had the NWS been fully staffed. The loss of any lives, especially the children, is too hard to bear. Such a tragedy. So pointless.
I am horrified and so sad over the loss of those innocent lives.
An idea that has occurred to me Is why we couldn’t have a ”Family Impact Statements” required for every policy proposal that impacts children and families?

Action. Not pathetic "thoughts and prayers."
A GREAT MESSAGE from a fellow Texan! I'll pass this along to my Facebook friends. Thank you for sending this.
That wasn't a flash flood. That was a darn tsunami. I saw a video of someone viewing it near a bridge. Trees were swallowed up and a bunch of lumber was carried with it, destroying everything in its path. Unfortunately, most warning systems were taken away. My condolences. 😢
climate change is not a hoax
Absolutely not. I just wish some people would get that through their thick skulls. We have some people up here in Canada who believe in conspiracy theories about chem trails. Incredibly stupid.
Amen. We are only their guardians for a short time. We are to keep them safe.
Heartbreaking. Every time such a tragedy involving children occurs, I too wonder why we cannot organize society around children's needs. (Needs for safety, security, love, respect, clean air and water, nutritious food, quality education, encouragement of their creativity and abilities?) What is more important?
Children don't vote.
Tax cuts for billionaires
We used to do much better for children in this country. Education was a priority. It all started to erode in the Reagan years and then with the Tea Party. No money for kids! Let's just get some more guns!
