My State of Texas

About this time one week ago my family arrived at my best friend’s home because their daughter was missing in the Guadelupe River flood from Camp Mystic. Over the first couple press conferences were respectful and honoring the victims. Then the national media came in and it became a blame game. Specifically President Trump. To me this sickening. Whether you like him or not. To infer that he as a person or his policies contributed to this tragedy is sick.

I have two very close friends who have missing daughters right now. One where I live and one in the Houston area. I have been with my best friend here everyday. I’ve watched her and her husband cry. I’ve watched them completely zone out. I held her while she collapsed after walking into her daughter’s room a couple days ago.

If you are that shallow enough to blame one man based off your hate for him, you are a sick human. If you are doing that for political gain the you are even sicker. If you don’t like this post then block me.

I'm sorry for all the pain you and the amazing people of your state are going through, but there is a reason this didn't happen more often and that's because national funding of weather watchers and scientist helped monitor it.

Someone robbed government funding to give tax breaks to the rich... but you are absolutely right, it was not one person... but it was one group and their was a clear leader of that group.

Cutting life saving resources for the people is going to lead to some of life, especially as they adjust to the new norm. It's fact of life.

Also, people might say we shouldn't be playing the blame game... but Trump quote literally blamed Biden for this, which Biden had absolutely nothing to do with the cuts. So if Trump can lie and blame people, then people should be able to be honest and say it was their cuts that lead to a lack of resources for them to be aware.

Which just to be clear, people could of died anyways, but most likely would of been less people as the response would of been faster.

@sstronaut People that voted trump were somehow convinced that his policies would not hurt them.

I wonder how many trump supporters cheered when Elon waved around that chainsaw.
