    “I knowingly and deliberately voted to kill people but I didn’t think it would actually happen.”

    These people are serial killers and should be treated as such.

    It’s crazy that he voted against it the first time. It floods a lot in that area. It’s not the first major flood his area is experienced by a long shot.

      How could a representative from a place colloquially referred to as “Flash Flood Alley” have known that it would [checks notes] flood?

      No. Just the magic number of child deaths to make them give a “heartfelt” statement to the press. TX republicans will wait for this to die down, look the other way, then fight every “crazy money wasting” dem that wants to actually do something about it. And all the republican voters will have long forgotten this tragedy. They’ll be too busy foaming at the mouth over some other trumped up bullshit issue while someone else’s kids continue to die because of the policies they continue to support.

      Crazy to me watching these people on Facebook lose their shit over a few missing white girls while they cheer on hate and division.

      Wow what the fuck? So it’s OK for certain groups to die as long as we don’t like them? I wonder which President would say something similar.

        I feel horrible for the children who died. I have a very hard time giving a fuck about their families. They have, for generations, enabled this exact thing. Almost BEGGED for it against all advice from experts.

        According to Christians, this is all part of God’s plan. Their God clearly wanted their children dead, so they should be happy to be part of his plan.

    US politician: “Communication system” suspiciously sounds like communism. I won’t vote for that!

    US citizens: Hurray! Fuck communication systems!
