making sure everyone stays on message with the usual insane comments that defy logic. Taco is too chickenshit to face the public.

The question was about DOGE decimating NOAA, and whether he felt any responsibility for failure to warn about the storms.

"It's a 100-year flood," TACO said, thereby putting the blame on God.

Fat HITLER did.

How do you know that, Congressman?

The "next time" could be tomorrow, or next week.

Does this imbecile think that these disasters that kill dozens or more are going to wait for conservatives to pull their heads out of their asses and do something?

ok... so when the river floods and kills dozens of children... the parents should be allowed to take Chip and his children and grandchildren and tie them on stakes near the river bank... and pray for rain... because it is such a beautiful ( and dangerous ) place to be.

That statement alone should disqualify this moron from public service.

From what I am hearing this was an expensive camp so those parents probably have lawyers on retainer.
The parents themselves need to be asking themselves the same question. I put my kids in a known flood zone for camp and they perished.

And I’ll bet that was one of the main (unsaid) reasons they didn’t evacuate. They would have had to make full or partial refunds to the parents. Instead, they are now likely facing some costly lawsuits for negligence.

Instead, he trying is desperately to SOMEHOW get Democrats involved. “Maybe there were Democrats involved and not doing something.”

Hey Buffalo Chip, if it had been up to the Democrats in government, they wouldn’t have made budget and staffing cuts to NOAA and NWS in the first place.

This is all on the Republicans, Roy, including YOU. You are letting Trump govern by executive order because you are afraid to stand up to him. And Trump is fucking up by the numbers and he just doesn’t care.

Texas, and they currently run Washington. Not only did Trump make cuts to NOAA, he shut off three weather satellites so billionaires can have even more. Republicans and Republicans alone are to blame. And in typical Republican fashion, they blame everyone else and refuse to take responsibility.

For watching others suffering, in pain and dead.

He’s a psychopath. It's what floats their boats. They have minds that are sick and twisted.

To love, is to hurt.

It's very hard to reconcile. Especially because the fact is that as President, he's supposed to care for America. It's not his nature to care.

But causing pain is right up his alley.

It's extremely disturbing.

... leading the deranged. A confederacy of dunces.
I remember a book from many years ago entitled, "A Confederacy of Dunces". As I recall, the young author, John Kennedy Toole, got so many rejection notices that he took his own life. His mother finally got it published and it was a hit, and won a Pulitzer. I read it, but it was 45 years ago, so memory fails me as to the plot.

don't let the door hit your dumb ass

Camps have several people responsible at all times for watching weather conditions!

is a bureaucrat,
desrcribes himself. no one else

ready to happen?

I guarantee you that you were no where to be found, other than to come out of the woodwork, and of course point the fingers at others besides yourself.

...and the ensuing gun control pushes. And so far it has worked for them.

Because that's what the maga Pubs are using as an excuse for deadly malfeasance.

I say we quadruple down on politicizing it.

FUCK THEM

This is nothing new!
TEXAS FLOODS!
The ground is not absorbing anything so it's all runoff and they know it.
Yet they approve the building of so many homes in those flood prone areas.
How do they get insurance?

... fewer ignorant politicians.

The correct answer, Rep. Roy, is to fix the camps so the housing units in the camps are on higher ground and are constructed in such a way as to make easy egress possible.
Also, if these camps are going to be "technology free" zones, the councilors need to have more training and be better prepared to cope with emergencies.

"Yeah, I mean, in classic Washington, D.C. fashion, everybody wants to politicize everything," Roy replied. "Look, there's going to be time to go review what can be done differently."

FEMA activates in Texas after Trump signs Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County

...is that to a Republican, "cut taxes, cut spending and cut the government" are the answers to EVERYTHING.

Chip Roy is one of those politicians who believe the Federal government should have a military, coin money, secure the border and that's about it. In short, a 1790s point of view on government that's not very helpful or realistic in the 21st Century.

Has nothing useful to actually say. And he seems to be the one politicizing things, in "typical" DC fashion.

"He's talking to hear a noise!"

should cut Chip Roy!

No....just fewer republicans....

Hacking 75% of his office staff.

More dead bodies. Turn out your dead.

Voters in Roy’s district ought to ask themselves if they want to continue having the company of friends and loved ones—or having guys like Chip Roy in office. After last week’s events it looks like they can’t have both.

I guess it is part of the charm to be ruggedly stupid.

and just pretend we didn't have tons of DOGE cuts and Trump's plan to end FEMA this year to have states deal with it alone?

Ok

Can't blame God, you put his ten commandments in every classroom. You can't blame the left, you've had control of TX for 25 years. You can't blame the local politics, the area is a sea of red. You've tried blaming campers and camps, but that's going over like a lead balloon.

I honestly think their official line will be a variant of "well, these things happen. Let's just move on..." by Fri. afternoon.

Whew, this river valley is one of the two most dangerous flash flood risk areas. Pile on record breaking rainfall over a record breaking short time window and death and destruction follows.

Didn't think so.

What we really need are fewer Chip Roys

whisky tango foxtrot kinda name it that anyway…a putrid desert or damaged household appliance?!?

Fucking idiot

Is he dead yet?
