Trump on Texas floods that killed more than 100 people and counting: "Their response has been incredible ... I think a lot of lives have been saved. As bad as it was, you could've lost double or triple. Congratulations on a great job."

Possibly the most rage-inducing story in recent memory.
Reminder: Texas deployed 1000 feet of buoys wrapped in razor wire near Eagle Pass at a cost $850,000, so asylum seekers died trying to cross the river. TX was sued for that inhumane project, and spent another $1,000,000 on expert contracts to defend its actions.

The flood detection system upgrades the Kerr county was begging for was also $1,000,000.

Have you seen any evidence that FEMA funding had anything to do with this? I have read anything about that.
And the river has flooded numerous times int the past, so no I don’t think people taking climate change more seriously is the issue.
As for early warning detection…perhaps, but even locals are saying that wasn’t the issue. It is proper and reasonable to do a post-Morten on the tragedy and look for ways to insure this does not occur again (my guess is they do install an early warning detection.)

But even if all three of the above were true… it is still revolting that deranged people tweets “it’s not awful, it’s what Texas deserves”, or “cry harder. Texas deserves it”; or “I’m kinda happy the National Weather Service gave incorrect predictions. Texas deserves the flooding”

I understand you have a visceral hate for Trump and I assume the people tweeting do as well. But just because Trump makes people pissed off by being bad, does not any shape or way justify cruelty and being disgusting. How is celebrating deaths of 80 innocent Texans for something that is an act of God a way to show anger towards Trump?

I never justified it. Not once. Nobody here is justifying it.

You know what the tragedy is? Children have lost their lives because the adults failed them miserably. Across the board.

This is no different than Rob rushing to post stories about people getting hurt or killed by immigrants. Yet I don't see you lambasting him for politicizing deaths.

Is this your first time meeting DARVO?

I was referring to the tweets. Just because Trump is a bad person does not, in any form, provide any logical reason to blame people just because they live in TX or be happy TX is flooding. There is zero “root cause” for the tweets.
