Note to people of Texas:

You guys are so dishonest. If he shows up in the middle of the mess, rescue efforts, and clean up efforts then he is going to be criticized for causing issues with all those just so he can make it about him showing up. If he waits a week then goes, you criticize him for that.

it is absolutely not, it is identical. they are thrilled and happy that these people are dead and getting what they deserved. literally what they said. they are celebrating the deathsentirely and trying torewrite language to match your delusions doesn't change that

Quote

which is his comment.  

and it is quite correct

the left wing is celebrating and even applauding these deaths as being appropriateand what these people deserve.they couldn't be happier.

and we've seen this before, with all the cheering and happiness overthe death and murder of that medical company executive for example

any tragedy where there's a loss of life that they can pretend is the fault of the republicans simply sends them into a tizzy of joy

 

sorry kiddo, but this is absolutely them celebrating the death of these people that they perceive as being an opportunity to blame the republicans and it's disgusting. And you standing up for them makes you absolutely the same

And not once have you condemned the people that celebrated the deaths in the flood. 

No one I know has done that. But YOU have made EXCUSES for DOGE firing NWS staff, and not condemned Noem's screw up of not approving search and rescue staff deployment for 72 hours after the flood started. 🤮

Did Texas "deserve flash floods that killed children" you f'ing POS?

FYI flash floods were around before we invented the wheel. Did us climbing out of the trees start global warming, Einstein?

What your handler sknow that you don't know is that these kinds of things were happening 100 years ago, but 100 years ago structures weren't as complex & expensive and population densities were lower, so these kinds of things could cause minimal damage and have few - if any - casualties back then. 

For all we know, this could have been caused by cloud-seeding. And if it was, who's gonna admit to it? The pilot? The person who gave the pilot the order? The gov't agency that told them where to do it? The people in gov't who made it legal? 

The fact is, we're never gonna know why this flash flooding happened, but the Dems never let a good catastrophe go waste. Any time an extreme weather event occurs the Dems and Libs are gonna push the Chinese/Saudi narrative: America and Canada extracting and using fossil fuels is causing global warming.

Nobody is thrilled people have died (and if they are let them rot in hell).  You don't have much of an argument though.  It's partisan politics which you seemed to agree is fair with near the start of this thread; "The difference was that the LA fires were specifically far worse than necessary because of choices that the governor made not to repair water wells and reservoirs that were needed to fight it."  

It is what it is.... Divisive politics that Trump helps perpetuate leads to people spewing these hateful comments.

I don't know what is sadder; the fact that you know you are lying and keep lying anyway or the possibility that you actually don't know you are lying. As for Doge cuts, I made no excuses for them. I applauded them and still do. Your assertion that those cuts, in any way, affected the outcome of this natural disaster is blatantly wrong and has been PROVEN wrong on multiple occasions.

This is your quote:

• "We've been through this dipshit...  People saying Texas got what it deserved is different than people 'celebrating deaths' - which is his comment."  

Which one is "better", in your inestimable opinion? Or which one is ok?

To me they both seem to echo the same sentiment. 

You have to be completely amoral to think that either one of those things was ok to say.

The LA fires were fanned by layers upon layers of stupidity whose cumulative effect exceeded that of the 100mph winds.

When it occurs MORE OFTEN than it did 50 years ago, giga tons of fossil fuel CO2 shares the blame.

Texas is to blame for the Camp Mystic girls' deaths because they allowed the camp to be built/stay open in a FLOOD PLAIN.

BREAKING: Texas State Representative Gene Wu exposes how Republicans are directly responsible for the tragic flash flood deaths in his state — and slams them for ignoring climate change when we have "500 year storms that keep hitting every single year."

This was a show-stopping takedown by Wu...

"The New York Times reported this year the Texas legislature funded only a very small portion of this backlog of flood management projects totaling some $54 billion," said CNN's Jake Tapper.

"$54 billion... Because as you know these floods are not new. This is the worst of them," Tapper continued. "But the idea of flooding in this area and other parts of Texas is a constant threat to lives. So this $54 billion went largely unfunded but the legislature did pass $51 billion of property tax cuts. What was your take on that?"

The Republican decision to slash property taxes while neglecting life-saving flood prevention projects is a perfect microcosm of the kleptocratic MAGA ethos best demonstrated at the federal level by the Big Beautiful Bill, which cuts $1 trillion from Medicaid while ramming through tax cuts for the rich. Republicans are looting the treasury at every level of government, from the White House down to the State House, and working class Americans are getting stuck with the deadly consequences.

"So this is one of the things that we've been railing against," said Wu. "Democrats in this House whether this session or previous session, continuously offer bills to help prepare for disasters. Rep. Martinez had a bill this time that would help us locate victims faster. Rep. Anchía had a bill to say let's have preparedness studies for these extreme storms. Rep. Reynolds had a bill to say let's push money into damaged communities faster."

"Every single one of these bills — and a dozen other bills — were all killed by Republicans and for no reason at all," Wu continued. "Every single time Democrats try to bring up that it's not just the 100 year storm, it's the 200 year storms, it's the 500 year storms that keep hitting every single year."

Trump has claimed that the flooding was a "hundred-year catastrophe" but we know for a fact that climate change, which Republicans call a "hoax," is making extreme weather events deadlier and more frequent with each passing year.

"And we're saying there's something wrong with that. You're not supposed to have 500 year events every single year," Wu said. "And every time Democrats offer up legislation, amendments to say let's do something about this, let's save lives, let's prepare, it's uniformly rejected on party lines by Republicans."

So far, at least 120 people have been confirmed dead from the Texas floods.

At this point, voting for Republicans must be considered a form of national suicide. These conservative politicians care about one thing: stripping this country down to the studs on behalf of their wealthy donors and corporations. If they keep getting elected, the body count will just keep rising as more and more wealth is siphoned away from the rest of us.

We are in an existential struggle for survival. Vote accordingly.

They absolutely are and you're lying on their behalf doesn't change that. They think it's great, they think that this is what they deserved and the universe is punishing the evil trump voters etc

It's not even a question. You read the comments they're happy

And trying to blame me for their bad actions and saying it's partisan politics on my part would put you in about a grade 10 level and still living in your mommy's basement. It's beyond cheesy and stupid. You're like the kind of twat that tries to convince a woman he's abused that she had it coming and it's her own fault. These people chose to make it political and to be thrilled about it long before I showed up

And as I mentioned we see this again and again with democrats. If it was a one-off you might say perhaps I'm misreading it but this is chronic. How many million posts were there saying it's too bad that the shooters aim was off when trump got shot? How many billion leftists cheered in joy when some guy Stalked, shot and killed a man just because he worked for a company that the guy disapproved of? And here they are gloating and cheering over the deaths of innocent children for god's sake because they think that they deserve it because some people in Texas voted for trump

But you think I'm making it political? That sound would be the last of your credibility circling the toilet bowl.

And what I said in this thread and it is true is that when you can point to something which is under the direct control of the government that they failed to do that they were expected to do and it led to a disaster directly then it's fair to say that the government deserves to be criticized.

Did something trump did cause these floods to happen? No? hmmmmmmmm

Now if trump's cuts had actually LED to someone's death it would be fair to turn around and say trump's actions caused that person's death and that's terrible. But it wouldn't be okay to cheer for the fact that the person is dead and say that they deserved it.

And in this case we know that there was no such issue. The offices were fully manned, the warnings went out when they were supposed to, everything happened as it was designed to.

No these people did not deserve to die, no it's not okay to cheer and be happy that they're dead and no it's not okay to blame trump for something that never happens

Now if you're done being a disgusting ass wipe shit stain of a human being maybe say something nice about the children who died Instead of peeing on their bodies like your friends

Huh? Who made you the reading comprehension cop around here? From what I can see you're functionally illiterate.

You still haven't explained how people saying:

• "Texas got what it deserved"
• is different than
• "People are celebrating deaths in Texas"

So tell me which one is better? And how?

If something happened to your mom or your child, and people were saying they got what they deserved, or celebrating it, would you be ok with one of those sentiments? They're both vile, imo. The difference might just be a tinge of honesty, because I think that people saying "they got what they deserved" are dancing on the inside, at the very least.

He and others like him are always blind to anything that doesn't fit their talking points or echo chamber.

It is obvious these people folks died for what they see as trump's mistake, even though it turned out not to be.

But as far as he's concerned nobody said anything! He can't see it because he doesn't want to.

Self delusion is an absolute necessity if you're going to be on the left. If he didn't have that capacity he would be on the right.

After all of the left's talk about assassinating the president, blowing up the WH, saying that severed-head effigies are just a joke, calling for followers to "push back on conservative politicians and tell them that they're not welcome in your neighbourhood", etc, they don't want to take responsibility when Steve Scalise gets shot or there are assassination attempts on Trump. 

Riots were "mostly peaceful" for years until there was a conservative group that rioted, then suddenly they saw a connection between the words of politicians and rioting 😂

I have more respect for a garbage-can rat than a left4rd.

Your problem is that we comprehend just fine. There's no room for doubt here. And like I said it's not like this is a one-off, the left is frequently cheering anyone's death including murder if the victim is perceived as being right wing or is perceived as having died as a result However indirectly of the actions or inactions of a right-wing person

So we all know they're cheering. And your pathetically ignorant excuse that somehow legitimately criticizing Newsom for his failure which directly LED to the problem is the same as cheering on the deaths of people because you feel they can be attributed to trump.

You're a freaking ghoul,  Need a prop up the bodies of the dead if it lets you score a political point. You should have been first in line condemning these people.

No problem is you're lying and trying to draw a parallel between two dissimilar things and you're angry that you got your bullshit called.

And the reason you're doing this is to try and excuse the absolutely horrible Behavior of these left-wing psychopaths.

Hell I piped up even when Biden was found to be sick and people were saying it couldn't happen to a nicer guy and said that was inappropriate. Did that right here on this forum.

But you, you read about a bunch of people who are absolutely thrilled that women and children are dead and your first thought is to try and defend them by pretending that people complaining about a government reaction to a forest fire is the same thing as being happy that people are dead

You understand empathy my ass. The only thing you understand is using tragedy to try promote a political agenda
