Blame the Kerr County people who refused money from Biden to fix things

This should be the msg for every Texan. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!

“ Maybe if they had bells or something “ our idiot leader said

They prioritized passing a law to require The Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. No lives were saved as a result of this mandate.

I know. But it still takes a majority. So how do you fix the stupid? I wish I had an answer.

But they got their school vouchers and the Ten Commandments in public classrooms. Priorities. 🙄

“Thoughts and Prayers” don’t save lives when the river’s a rising. The blame belongs to the Texas legislature along with those who kept voting them in when they knew an alert system would eventually save lives.

From the Times: Texas has a growing backlog of flood management projects, totaling some $54 billion, but state lawmakers have allocated only a fraction of the funds needed while cutting property taxes by $51 billion this year.

No, sorry to say, no. Politicians are good at one thing only, reading the room. If they push racism it's because they KNOW a good portion of the population thinks that way. What you call propaganda... I call reinforcement of something they already believe

They were too busy whingeing on about trans folks, books they want banned, CRT, abortion and migrants, and spent too much giving wealthy folks a big tax bonus to keep kids in expensive private schools to be concerned about flood control and fixing the ancient power grid. Fork them all.

This happens when greedy, stupid fucks run shit.

📌

Who needs alarms when you can just jet off to Cancun or Greece. Right Ted?

There was a lot of pressure from constituents about it "costing too much."

I can’t believe Biden did this

Yes see my comments

They declined “woke” money but they’ll make sure to attend Sunday services and offer up prayers.

I heard they used it for police salaries & to put in a walking path

All they offer is “thoughts and prayers.”

We instinctively knew

Also, San Antonio is closer to Camp Mystic, 60 miles, yet they are blaming the fire chief from Austin, which is 100 miles away.

And guns…I’m in TX too, & their love for guns is sacrosanct.

Common sense. Texas lacks this.

This would be something better fur their legislature to meet about than rigging their voting system.

summer camp *for girls*. a conservative Christian bible camp where girls learned how to be *good girls* and no cell phones were allowed - no access to the outside. just awful.

And they still they reelect them. SMH.

Tx govt sucks

Not surprise one bit. I don't know what's happening down South but it's not looking good. Too much sun on the head? The Stetson don't do the job no more? Ha! Wait? They've been swapped for MAGA hat.

This is exactly why MAGA/ republicans hate science www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0BG...

Why did they do that? did they claim God controls the weather so its up to him to give the alarm?

It is all on them

🧐

As a 30 year resident of Texas, I can confirm that the TX state govt does not care about the lives of Texans. At all.

Texas GOP tends to be reactive rather than proactive. Also, with a media circus in tow.

Ever since the (mostly) unwarranted, short-sighted, anti-tax phobia of the Proposition 13 insanity in California in the late 1970s, Republicans have victimized voters into a dishonest Catch 22. A system of public services CANNOT operate without appropriate funding, but Republicans pretend otherwise.

But there is always time to disenfranchise Democratic voters through bizarro gerrymandering.

Dear MAGA. Don't even try and blame the Democrats. Republicans are the only game in town in Kerr County. Could not be more red. As usual, they prove they don't care about their voters.

Seems like the alert system would have been a good use of some of the $$ in the massive "rainy day fund" TX has been hoarding.

Anybody who establishes a camp in that area should be reminded about the definition of Negligent Homicide.

No. This is "gods will" territory. They take absoutley no peronal responsibity for diasasters where human intervention could have assistted. They blame god.

Of course they did

And they are set to do it again aren't they?

They all should be sued in to oblivion

Yes, that’s Texas where corporations rule!

That figures!

May the blood on their hands never wash off.

Idiots voting for corrupt bigger idiots

I knew this about 2 or 3 days after the initial flooding

Why would Texans vote or approve redistricting that allows more republican representation? Republican legislators have determined their constituents are STUPID. Republicans haven't protected or tried to mitigate the impact of flooding by passing legislation. They have elected 2 save money not LIVES.

Hey, those systems cost money, and Texas millionaires and billionaires need their tax cuts so they can buy a second yacht!

More of them there Texas smarts.

It was God's will.

Especially in a well documented flood zone. My parents live on an old riverbed. We watch the river very carefully come spring thaw. I heard *rumor* that the camp owner wrangled a deal to have the camp be declared "safe" from that designation for insurance records????

I'm not surprised, in Texas everything is bigger they say, so is the ignorance coming out of their capital!

What's the plan for the next flood? There will be one.

No surprise there

Texas legislators have plenty of time to make it easier to murder people though

It needs to be rich white men next time. They didn’t care because it was girls.

So Republicans tally the dead, give shrugs of indifference, which they call thoughts and prayers. Though they behave as unchristian, as the devil that created them. They can back pat themselves, counting the dead. They elected a total racist idiot to control their protection. "NOT GREAT AGAIN"!

Not only the lawmakers. Biden offered them $10million to pay for an alarm system . The neighbourhood rednecks decided they “ din’t want no money from that communist” and lobbied their local council to reject the grant. And then …

Is anyone surprised? Texas is a shithole maga State

Oh they will "shake it off" like they always do, the bastards. Donaldo delenda est

What are we doing? Why are we letting our personal biases get in the middle of logical safe choices??!! Who is the person that makes the decision about safety? That person(s) needs to be held accountable. This is insane that a paid public safety official signed on to this.

They like the story of protecting the unborn, but once a child is born, it’s survival of the fittest. Nice state. As bad a Florida with its new prison.

And that is what you get when you have no foresight......

Eh, they passed on federal money and gave to the cops. They didn’t try very hard…

Yes Texas conservatives offer only tears and prayers after catastrophic failure in addressing the ‘alley of flash floods ‘ . Conservatives never learn . Very foolish men and women! Rather save a penny than save a life!

@jamestalarico.bsky.social highlighted this today in his interview with Joe Rogan.

3.tornado warning systems in place?Can u imagine the carnage. MAGAt politicians hate Govt so they'll stupidly put ppl's lives at risk. Hope those families can sue the Abbott Admin 4 dereliction of duties. Tx voters the ball is in ur court. Kp voting 4 scums and u'll keep losing ur fam members

Thanks

Abbott refused federal funding for the same thing in 2017 and 2021.

Hopefully the voters hold these people accountable. If not you can’t help stupid

And they keep voting for the same people

Damn you Joebarak Obamabiden!

Perhaps not permitting camps be built in the path of raging floods would have been simpler

Why am I not surprised? TheTexasLegislature only meets every other year, on even years,except if the Governor calls4 an emergency session.They are meeting today in an emergency session not2deal with theTexas floods but2Gerrymander5Congressional Districts2get rid of4Black Democrats&1LatinoDemocrat.

Of course they did. These idiots will vote for Republicans no matter how badly they're treated. It wouldn't make financial sense for Republicans to help them at all.

Vote for pro-democracy and it'll get done.

These were children, not embryos.

Ah yes typical behavior shooting themselves in the foot cause of distaste for Democrats .. just a smokescreen for pinching the money for an unnecessary scheme and then keeping the money . They do get voted back in almost always . Cannot explain that

This article seems to point to pressure from taxpayers reeling against more taxes as the large cause for not having warning sirens. I know where they could find some money. www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

This is what ideology and indoctrination looks like. More emphasis put on what a teacher might be teaching in a classroom, or what your neighbors might be eating for dinner, than putting systems in place that protect people from natural catastrophes. Rugged individualism still applies in Texas.

That’s crazy

A state surplus, but won't spend to protect citizens.

Some people probably would have gotten some benefit from tax payer dollars, so yeah, no go.

It's Trump's fault! No flood warnings here in New York last week either.

Texas lawmakers have killed Texans because they don’t really give a shite. More than 20 children died at Camp Mystic because those elected didn’t give a fuck.

the “family values” state!

Death and cruelty is the mission of the misled MAGAT morons by cankles the orange felon in the WH.

"Small government"

Let's be very clear on this... Texas Republican legislators... 🤨

Donald Trump thinks people should have something they can put in their pocket that will vibrate if there is dangerous weather in the area. THEY'RE CALLED PHONES!!!!!!!! What a moron. He says they should be made in America. We don't eve make phones in America JFC.

Texas literally drowning from its bad decisions.

bsky.app/profile/lalo...

I would be suing up, down and sideways and making it my personal mission to get every person out of office who played a part in the decision. This never should have happened. My heart breaks for all the lives lost, especially the parents looking for their girls ...

and yet IDIOTS keep voting for GOP SCUM completely fucking their own best interest!!

Texas is its own worst enemy. With friends like these, who needs enemas?

Of course!

Life is too expensive

Reactive, instead of proactive 🥹

They were too busy trying to regulate women’s bodies.

Wheel Abbott is a true ASSHOLE.

Many texans voted for their own death, or their love ones, many will continue to vote the same.

........

Texas has a $24B budget surplus in the current two year cycle. $32B the cycle before that one. The money for this has always been there. The incompetent fuckwits in Austin chose not to spend it. www.texastribune.org/2025/06/30/t....
