Texas was better off under Mexican rule. Letting them self rule may not be the best option.

The ignorance and greed is allowed to flourish in red state hells.

They do it to themselves and then ask for a handout. Remember their power failures a few winters back? We all paid for their stupidity and selfishness.

Abbott and the Texas Trumplicans always have their constituents best interests in mind! If you believe this- you’re a fool!

The definition of insanity.

If only Texans could stop voting for stupid. I guess that's too difficult.

Texans..you know.

Thinning the herd

"I sent you a boat and a chopper! Not to mention a previous flood, but OK.."

😢

Stop FEMA money to that state. It's a waste of time. Americans can't afford to rebuild texas all the time. Texas needs to foot the bill.

It seems almost too apropos that trickle down economics would lead to floods.

Keep in mind that people are not important in the minds of some politicians.

Truth

Texas developers always develop in areas that are flood-prone, and they know it, and they sell to unwary buyers.

Reading appears obvious current GOP RUNNING Texas has NO interest- INTENT-desire to govern in ways benefiting the hard-working tax-payers in Texas. Texas GOP are needlessly cruel, ridiculously pompous, totally greedy & constantly grasping for more money-favors uspolitics.einnews.com/news/texas-c...

Texas is just one big anti-humanity experiment 🤬🤬👎👎‼️‼️

This is how we thin the herd.

Texas Lawmakers don't care about Texans. They care about their political fortunes and supporting Corporations above citizens. (Even if the Supremes said Corps are Citizens.)

It's what they voted & have been voting for decades, if they want to live peacefully, then Texans should make a switch to vote #Blue

"Boy if you ask me, it sounds like Texans need to get bigger hats." Governor Greg Abbotts answer to the problem.

If only they would flood the polls and wash those losers out.

They’re too busy blaming President Obama

Let them live there and let their old ass get washed away.

So typical of Texas. You really can believe it have faith in anything that state does.

And they probably will be supporting Trump 3.0... Dumbasses

Republicans have ruled over Texas for decades. The people of Texas continue to vote for them. It just boggles the mind.

That's a shame. Thoughts and prayers!

There's only so much a government can do to protect stupid people. Maybe Republican leaders have decided that their own voters are such people and no longer worth the effort. Why waste money when they'll vote for you whether you hurt them or not?

Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose. Believe these words were written and sung by two pretty famous Texans.

Nazis kill people. It's what Nazis do.

Texas, you really think our state officials will do anything that will benefit residents while not adequately benefiting them?

If they are ReThuglikkons, they wouldn’t feel sorry for you.

The oil corporations are responsible for the climate crisis caused floods, MAKE THEM PAY! Same as Big Tobacco paid for lung cancer deaths.

It is very sad that these persons ignore Mother Nature

Trusting republicans is bad for your health.

The new housing bill removed more regulations. It's getting worse.

Yeah. The Old Criminal IS SCUM and will always be SCUM.

He believe he's a king. We need to dissuade him of that mistaken idea.

It's taken Texan's years of voting Republican to get them to where they are today. Even despite an electrical grid/system that can't keep the power on during smallest of storms they are going to elect the biggest crook for a Senator!

Texas

Plus the state power grid is a #bigly problem, energy demands, severe weather, etc., & there are over 500 energy & water draining data centers. Greed over everything. 💰

America and maga writ large, hates its people.

FREEDOM

I am told we should adopt Texas housing policy .... Ok we need better policy, but noone needs to adopt anything from Texas ever.

They do vote down there in Texas, don’t they?

I want to be sympathetic but…

😒😒☹️☹️🙏

Time to deny insurance coverage.

More reasons Texas needs to become a blue state with a better and careing governor and a better senator like JT to be your next senator on November midterm election day please

🖕 Texas 🖕 Abbott

I don't know what's wrong with the people in Texas. That they keep voting in these criminal Republicans.

Yup. You cannot legislate stupidity out of existence.

Some would sell their houses because they didn't want to pay for the repairs themselves. So every year there were new owners, informed about the inability to buy flood insurance for these houses, but as soon as the floods happened, they were screaming at their insurance agents.

What is it they say about doing the same thing over and over? Just wondering.............🤔

And they keep voting Republicans.

Thank your governor.

If they were not for any of the Nazi bullshit and they lost their place in the flood, then I would feel bad other than that no thanks fascist deserve to suffer

People mostly voted for Trump at a genuine hatred for other people so if they get E. coli ridden water washing away their house I don’t feel bad

If people voted for Trump, I don’t feel bad for them maybe further kids, but I don’t feel bad for people who voted for Trump and lost everything

Well then, vote your law makers out already. Aren’t you a red state? Didn’t you once want succession from the United States?

Been this way a long time...rock walled rivers WILL flood when there's enough rain, but being close to the river is so handy and so beautiful...

How does that go... Stupidity is repeating the same thing expecting different results?

Cult of Darwin

Current state public safety strategy

Ii will say once again, IDEOLOGIES DO NOT DESTROY COUNTRIES, CORRUPTION DOES. We have a Russian asset in the White House and his goal is just that. Getting rich during the process is a plus.

And they will say to their government, keep screwing me over... As long as you're keeping the brown and trans people and women in line. See, the thing they still don't understand is having control over others doesn't come for free. Suck it up. At least pregnant women get to die in your state.

Ok. Well if you rebuild in a FLOOD ZONE then maybe it’s kinda your fault?

It’s sometimes a struggle to weigh being a good person and not cheer for bad things happening to people who chose this path versus pointing and saying “I told you this would happen”!

That shows total neglect of duty by Texas officials...

They knew about these problems back in the 70s when I lived there. Nobody did anything about it. That's a half century of politicians passing the buck.

TexAss...

Freedumb?

I blame Biden

Sort of like voting for a convicted felon con man 3x and then wondering why you've lost the farm.

This is what a declining empire looks like.

This is just Texas Texasing

Freedom isn’t free

Those kinds of figures only include immediate drowning or being hit by debris. Afterwards there's the long-term effects of pollution, disruption to healthcare etc, and even ptsd, that afaik only one study has even tried to quantify. Floods are horrible.

Well, I don't think we should be using floods as birth control!

Dipsh!ts

In Texas, if your staying alive from year to year contradicts the ecomonic needs or desires of another [who has lobbyists], you are going to be sacrificed for the money.......

As long Abbott keeps lining his pockets with insider deals nothing will change but for his rusty wheelchair soon to be laced in gold. That comes before the youth, elderly and disabled of Texas. If they were smart and of sound mind they'd vote for Talarico.

Not true! I fact check Trump posts on Truth Social, no sign in, no account. I'm sure you have to have one to post or reply, but you can read for free. (At least Trump's posts, which is about all it seems to be.)

And they will rebuild in the same flood zones, because they are stupid.

Thanks to local politicians and officials with no social or community conscience …

Jen Welch calls them a "death cult." I agree. They legislate and live like they are ready to die. Dems and non-Maga keep saving their lives.

The government must not allow building in flood plains!! This has got to stop!!

Who in the hell said that Texans were smart? Did somebody tell you that?

Their only texans so who gives a fuck!

Texas is a Republican State. Republicans are big on "personal responsibility." Why stay in a dangerous place?

Surprise surprise, the republicans running the state don’t care about it’s citizens

"They said it was daft to build a castle in a swamp, but I built it anyway. It sank into the swamp. So I built another. It sank into the swamp. I built a third, it burnt down, fell over and sank into the swamp. I built a fourth and it's still standing!" - Monty Python & the Holy Grail

Yes! I’ve been to Mexico a few times.

I’d like to live in Canada, probably.

Sounds like Texas.

Once should have been enough not to rebuild since nothing was being done to fix things and being aware that it's gonna happen again. So, you're right, feeling sorry for them I can't do either.

FREEDUMB! 🚎

Bet they vote Republican after all the definition of insanity is voting for the same folks who never help you over and over again while you thank them

Keep voting for Republicans, Texans. Or, try Democrats. Your state was far better run when Dems were in charge.

Republicans try to kill off as many people as they can.

Makes me think of New Orleans...a place below sea level, yet... Need to look at the history of the area.

Let 'em be. It's Darwinism at work.

What did Trump do in terms of getting federal assistance? Did the Army Engineers assist as they have done in previous disaster zones under other presidents? It's really sad, that saving lives and property is so tightly entwined in bad politics.WTF

This is Murrica and they have the god given right to build in flood plains. They're finding out about climate change, first hand and in real time. Whether they want to admit it or not is irrelevant. Mother nature doesn't care what you believe.

Texas Republicans mantra:

Many years ago Fargo ND had a 100 year flood, then it happened again and again. Now there are dikes

You can't fix stupid.
