Texas floods are horrific and MAGA are excelling themselves again 18:16 - Jul 6 with 3948 viewsElderGrizzly

Rather than admit climate change, they go with this lie.



Of course, Trump also decimated the funding for the National Weather Service in January whose job it is to warn of these types of events.

Thanks for posting that link. So, brand anything that disagrees with the great man as fake news and punish anyone peddling it. Democracy at work.

As I thought he would, Trump is engaging an all out attempt to muzzle, collapse control the media. The aim is his message only, since he’s always right. It is right out of the authoritarian playbook and would be recognised by Hitler, Putin, North Korea, Iran, you name it.

What next? Send Democrats to Alligator Alcatraz as enemies of the state? Get rid of people literally? It seems far fetched but history tells us it’s possible.

Trump is very simple and transparent. Centralise power, redistribute wealth to himself and his supporters, ensure all opposition is crushed permanently, use the power of the worlds strongest nation to take what you want and for the rest to bend the knee.

I hate to think what the world will look like in three years time.

The NOAA having their budget cut clerly had no inmpact at all on thse awful events. It has been established that warnings were sent out in a timely fashion

"The Weather Service did a good job with the information you had here. I don't think the staffing cuts contributed to this," said Andy Hazelton, a climate scientist who was laid off from NOAA where he modelled hurricane paths.

Standard Cruz behaviour:

"Ted Cruz has had quite a week. On Tuesday, the Texas senator ensured the Republican spending bill slashed funding for weather forecasting, only to then go on vacation to Greece while his state was hit by deadly flooding, a disaster critics say was worsened by cuts to forecasting."

For this particular event, yes, you're right, . For future events, predicting them, preparing for them and responding to them, there will absolutely be an effect, how could there not be?

The thing I just don't get is why don't normal republicans care about any of this? Given how many people voted for Trump they can't all be complete far right conspiracy theory loving lunatics, there must be decent people in there who were mislead, why is there no reaction to anything from these people?

The behaviour of Ted Cruz that you highlighted, you couldn't have a worse series of events for a politician, slashes funding for weather services, weather services say they can't forecast potentially deadly weather as they could before as they are underfunded, and then in his state hundreds of people die including dozens of poor children at a Christian holiday camp, then he F**ks off on holiday. And yet it feels like none of it matters, none of it sticks to these people, is it all just shielded from people who only consume the right wing media?

And on a slightly different topic of the new big beautiful bill, I just don't understand how there isn't uproar. Trump won the votes of a lot of ordinary people struggling to make ends meet, struggling to afford groceries etc, and then forces through this legislation which will not only give billions in tax cuts to the most wealthy, but actually add to the tax burden of the poorest in the country. I mean I think any of us could have said he obviously wasn't going to make things better for those struggling, but it is that lack of reaction that I find the most alarming.

Sorry that turned into a bit of a ramble, but I am really starting to despair at what is happening in that country, it is becoming increasingly obvious he is just going to be able to do whatever he wants and there is going to be no meaningful push back at all, and it will effect everyone, not just Americans. I saw James Acaster say on a US talk show something along the lines of 'the US election is too important to the rest of the world to trust to the American people', that really does feel true.

The comment from Andy Hazelton includes that exact point in the statement that this poster (who occasionally pops up to defend the political right) has selectively quoted from.

Like most of us, I'm sure, I've been taught from childhood to give people the benefit of the doubt, and then in education and training to remain open-minded to new evidence and new theories and to think in terms of probability rather than certainty and thus to listen to even the most wacky of ideas without immediately dismissing them.

It's hard to maintain that ethos in our post-truth world though - you just open yourself up to get cynically taken for a ride by shameless deceivers and manipulators. Politically, scientifically, socially, commercially, family members who've gone down the rabbit hole - it's just so futile and crippling to start from an assumption of any kind of integrity.


It is the right approach but you have to work harder now to check your sources and probably be a little more sceptical generally.

Where did the OP state that cutting the NOAA budget did have an impact on these awful events? Or is it you spreading false information to further your own political views ... who should be ashamed?

You're last paragraph is astonishing.

You've been posting for about 4 years, you've not posted once about football and your posts in general are used to promote right wing issues.

You then have the cheek to call others an issue for spreading political views?

Incredible.
