    Meanwhile, Trump refuses to acknowledge that firing a fuck ton of weather forecasters at the NWS was a problem.

    “You look at that water situation, that was really the Biden setup,” Trump said. “That was not our setup. But I wouldn’t blame Biden for it either; I would just say this is a hundred-year catastrophe, and it’s just so horrible to watch.” -Source

    (Also, that is a completely nonsense sentence)

    On Saturday, July 5, at about 6 p.m. local time (11 a.m. ET)—more than 24 hours after the Guadalupe River burst its banks—Cruz and his wife were spotted by a Swamp spy lining up outside the iconic tourist site.

    “He was with his family and a lone security guard,” said an eyewitness at the Parthenon. “As he walked past us, I simply said, ‘20 kids dead in Texas and you take a vacation?’

    “He sort of grunted and walked on. His wife shot me a dirty look. Then they continued on with their tour guide.”

      Oh I would have caused a scene. Everyone within earshot would know who he was and that he was shirking his duty again.

      Idk right… it’s all just for show when politicians go fake talk all somber about some incident. Not to mention this is Ted Cruz…
