Tragic Flood damage and loss of life in Texas on top of massive Republican federal budget cuts by Trump

Flood damage costs billions to clean up yet Trump had DOGE cut hundreds of billions from various government budgets including FEMA (hurricane relief)
Now I’m well aware that a flash flood is NOT a hurricane BUT the damage is the same which leads to the question.. when Mother Nature inflicts damage on the US, where is the money coming from to help with the cleanup?

I am sure the Texans will be happy with all those thoughts and prayers instead..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman ^^^this^^^

In reality though, i personally knew some very MAGA folks (family members) who spent considerable time and money traveling to NC to aid in hurricane recovery. I was glad to see that, but also noted there was a bit of a spiteful “blame biden” motivation amongst them. Will the same happen here - they rush to texas with trailers full of tools to help out and then trash Trump on social media for being inept?

@trollslayer I am less inclined to question where the help comes from or what conditions are attached. Those people have lost a lot. Some have lost the next generation..But already thats yesterdays news, thanks to Elon Musk and his headline grabber. Maybe a grand gesture by him to help those in need?😷

@swirlie I am sure I first heard it used by the NRA when responding to mass shootings. I admit I feel torn using it. But clearly God doesnt have a problem carrying off a couple of dozen kids from a Christian summer camp.. So maybe its OK for me to hope he feels bad about it..😷

I am told that we are all used for the evolution of the species in some way.

@whowasthatmaskedman Thoughts are prayers only works when it’s a high school shooting. They don’t work when it’s a flash flood. Trump is going to donate MAGA caps to the Texas Flood victims so that they can help him promote his next term in office.

(Facetious sarcasm)

@whowasthatmaskedman I missed that bit in the news about God controlling the rain and the weather. I’ll have to ask about that the next time I go to MAGA Sunday School.

@justanothername Its in the fine print under "Omnipotent and Omnipresent"😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I’ll have another read of that at MAGA Sunday School.
@justanothername He did give out playdoe once so it's a good thing you clarified. How about he goes to Texas and throws paper towel at people who lost their homes
