This is fine, but pointing out that budget cuts to the weather service could have effected the time it took to warn people is ghoulish behaviour? 

GOTCHA!!!

What's ghoulish is taking a trip to Ghana during fire season and keeping the reservoirs dry. 

Don't you f*cking cultists take responsibility for anything?

Yes, yes it is. Because you can't muster up an actual argument to show how anything with the budget led to poor outcomes here, so you just want to imply it instead.

I am outright STATING that firing NWS meteorologists COST LIVES and will COST MORE LIVES in the future.

Yeah, you are asserting this... but you have nothing to back it up because you are a petty dishonest liar of the worst kind.

Remember when Ted Cruz buggered off to Mexico when a huge chunk of his state was without power because of a snow storm?

Ted Cruz is kind of a douche. He should step down and let someone better take his place. Just like Sea Bass and Newscum should step down and let better people take their places.

There's absolutely no evidence of that in the slightest. You're just lying again

I don't believe I've said such a thing. But I do think doing things like abolishing FEMA will only allow for more of these things to happen. 

It certainly defending those who did, because that's what we're talking about. Tons of comments about how these people deserved what they got. And you're directly comparing that behavior with criticizing a government that failed to repair firefighting reservoirs.

I'm not sure how abolishing FEMA would lead to the prevention of things like this specifically because the people were dead before FEMA would have had a chance to step in, but sure it's quite possible that people will suffer or die as a result of the cuts to FEMA. At some point anyway. And you can make that argument but that's not the argument that's being made here.

As far as FEMA goes it had become political to the point where it probably wasn't salvageable even though in principle it was a good idea. I mean they were literally denying service to people they felt were trump supporters and allowing them to suffer and make do on their own rather than provide them the aid that they we're supposed to. After that happens obviously you have to look at dismantling it, but I didn't see a whole lot of ideas put forward by the government to replace it either so that's an issue

Now they’re trying to pretend they didn’t defund the National Weather Service? Incredible!

You are speculating as you cannot prove that Trump's budget caused death.

Was the national weather service defunded? Looks like they're still in the budget to me, did you mean that some people got laid off and it has absolutely nothing to do with this? Pathetic even for you

Nope, I am drawing a logical conclusion based on extensive KNOWLEDGE of extreme weather events being FATAL.

Sorry you are too IGNORANT to understand what that means.

Fellas, it’s a flash flood, in hill country, all the surface water will flow down hill into creek and riverbed. That’s the primary reason for flash flooding. The area is known as flash flood valley. It also had rare occurrence of rain cloud stalling overhead and depositing heavy rainfall over a short period. I don’t think blaming anybody for a geological feature that statistically occurs 1 in 100 year or 1% chance a year from environmental conditions is the right course of action. We should look into new technologies that incorporate early warning or build retention pond to mitigate potential flooding impact. Blaming people is not going to resolve this tragedy nor prevent one.

Not climate change. It's a scam...

I've heard it said no one could have foreseen how bad the flood would be in Texas.  I note the Guadalupe River Valley is also being described as the most dangerous river valley in the US.

It's been known for decades climate change would also change weather and usually for the worse. It's pretty simple, more heat means more energetic weather and as such you should generally expect and prepare for more of what you're used to.

Stronger storms, dryer droughts, flashier floods, hotter heat spells, maybe even colder cold snaps.

It's too late to plead they didn't get the memo - but in fact if there's anyone to blame it's probably scientists who failed to explain just how serious climate change really is.

No one could have foreseen it?

Hah...people could even foresee how blind the world would be decades ago and the analogy of the frog in a pot of water that was slowly brought to a boil was born.

Interestingly enough...experiments have shown frogs in fact do have enough sense to jump out of the pot.

You might as well be drawing your head out of your own a$$. 

You have nothing here of fact or substance to offer.

No. Some people are disgusting people, period. You know that's true and yet you malign half of the population. When they go low, do you have to follow?

No one on here or any where out there has decried what they said unless they are moderate or conservative. In fact, if we extrapolate past behavior while adding this latest incident to the mix, every time liberals go violent and or vile, there is a distinct lack of response or out right support by the rest of the left.

Some examples:

ANTIFA and BLM burn down businesses, take over parts of cities and generally riot and the left's reaction? Kamala Harris set up a fund to bail them out. 

A shooter in Dallas killed cops and protestors and the left's response was to decry that DPD used a robot to grenade the guy. 

A shooter actually shot President Trump and there were mass calls to aim better next time.

Violent ICE protests in LA and the left responds by blaming Trump for ending it.

These are not one off incidents. These are examples of a pattern of acceptance of disgusting and vile behavior. Behavior that you, yourself, just had an opportunity to condemn and yiur response was to attack me. 

Flip it around and you won't find a conservative that didnt call the J6 riot stupid and uncalled for. The left's, banana republic like response was equally if not even more so disgusting. But we expected it from the left.

I literally quoted the NWS saying they had 250% more staff during that storm and issued the appropriate warnings at the appropriate times. You ignored it and kept reposting your lie. you are absolutely pulling this b.s. out of you aṣs.

You don't know what defunded means? Here's a clue: it doesn't necessarily mean having every penny taken away.

Um, yeah, yeah it does. Depending on the context, it is generally meant that all funds are taken away. 

Perhaps you should chose your language more carefully.

You don't get to decide upon what my judgements are based doofus. I already told you MY REASONING.

Unfortunate you're unable to UNDERSTAND legitimate REASONING.

My dislike of despicable Trump has NOTHING to do with concluding that cutting National Weather Services employees will COST LIVES.

Hurricane season is COMING SOON.
