Open Thread | Straight Up Looting…WAKE UP to the Harm the GOP Wants to Cause

Holy Crap. Just straight up looting at this point. Or like was already looting. But just bringing in a semi to haul out the loot faster.

Those horrible cuts to the American Social Safety Net proposed…
So that billionaires can get tax cuts.
Nothing more.
So that billionaires can get tax cuts.

I disagree with this…it’s about partisanship…because only THE REPUBLICANS PROPOSED THIS NIGHTMARE. IT NEVER CAME UP WHEN THE DEMOCRATS WERE IN CHARGE.

STOP WITH THE BOTH SIDES BULLSHYT.

    Indiana church tells LGBTQ+ community to kill themselves—or they will face the death penalty under Trump.

    Church then doubled down after backlash: “They are supposed to be executed by the government.”

    Sermon titled “Pray the Gay Away” was given at “Men’s Preaching Night” by Stephen Falco at Sure Foundation Baptist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana.

    Church continued to defend the preaching saying: “He’s only calling for the death penalty and suicide for the actual sodomites. The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death.”

    Every single one of them knew it was a brutal bill for their constituents. But they fell in line anyway, because fear of Trump beats loyalty to the American people.

    When you have an entire political movement like MAGA who has sneering contempt for experts who have spent decades in a profession – like weather forecasters – and the need for govt to use those experts to save lives, the results of that too often are that many people die.

    If you have Blue Sky, this is an interesting thread
    
    I looked at the river level observations and multi-sensor quantitative precip estimates for the South Fork of the Guadalupe River where Camp Mystic is located.
    There are:
    1. No river level stations on the South Fork of the Guadalupe River
    2. One (1) functioning rainfall station
    3. About 9.6 inches of rain fell in the South Fork of the Guadalupe River (SFGR) basin in less than 6 hours
    4. The SFGR river likely started to rise rapidly at Camp Mystic around 3:00-3:30 AM, peaking around 6:00 AM (I’m basing this estimate on HNFT2 station which is on the North Fork GR
    5. NWS Austin/San Antonio issued Flash Flood warnings around 1 AM for the County. NWS Weather Forecast Offices DO NOT forecast river stages, NWS River Forecast Centers forecast river stages, but only on main stem of rivers. National Water Center provides a forecast of rivers level on minor rivers.
    6. Without historic river level data (provided by USGS stations), it is impossible to provide accurate and reliable river level forecasts. There are NO river level stations on the SFGR
    7. Texas legislature KNOWS these are dangerous rivers, but have denied funding for a emergency warning system
