Texas flooded. people died. MAGA’s reaction was predictably fucked up

awesome job, you ghouls

America used to be able to get shit done.

when disaster was impending, we had experts who could predict it. when disaster struck, we had experts who could deal with it.

but that was then. this is now. Mad King Donny has grabbed Good Old American Know-How by the haunches and given it a vigorous clownfucking to the point where, when shit goes sideways, we’re lucky if there’s anyone around to even answer the phone.

this is what happens when you replace expertise with the worst people in the world.

the only thing the worst people in the world are good at is being the worst people in the world.

imagine being so far up your own ass that you deny basic reality.

“Fake weather. Fake hurricanes. Fake flooding. Fake. Fake. Fake.”

good god. they’re still pulling the lifeless bodies of children out of the water in Camp Mystic, Texas, and this ghoul can’t wait to declare that it’s all fake. fake. fake.

according to her bio on not-Twitter, Kandiss Taylor is a 2026 candidate for Congress from Georgia’s first district. she also identifies herself as a Jesus-adoring Christian, because of course she does. Jesus was all about shouting none of this is real as children drowned. it’s right there in the Sermon on the Mount. blessed are the morons.

please do continue, Kandiss. your insights are fascinating.

“FAKE WEATHER. REAL DAMAGE. Hurricane Helene left me powerless for 16 days & caused $57K in damage. This isn’t just ‘climate change.’ It’s cloud seeding, geoengineering, & manipulation. If fake weather causes real tragedy, that’s murder. Pray. Prepare. Question the narrative. #FakeWeather #GeoEngineering #PrayForTexas #AmericaFirst”

of course, Kandiss is just about as close to pure rando as one can get. she can rant all she wants, but she holds no power over our lives (unless she gets elected).

but you know who does have the power to seriously fuck all of us up? this three-toed genetic freak of nature.

“I am introducing a bill that prohibits the injection, release, or dispersion of chemicals or substances into the atmosphere for the express purpose of altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. It will be a felony offense. I have been researching weather modification and working with the legislative counsel for months writing this bill. It will be similar to Florida’s Senate Bill 56. We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering.”

oh look, Congresswoman Sporkfoot has been doing her own research!

Marge is so good at research. her painstaking exploration of the facts has led her to conclude that wearing covid-mitigating masks is exactly the same as the holocaust, and that Jews use space lasers to control the weather.

so now, Count Sporkula is going to waste Congress’ time on a batshit bill that’s been dictated to her by the unceasing shrieking noises inside her head.

one wonders if any elected official would be willing to introduce legislation to prohibit the injection, release or dispersion of stupidity into Congress.

thank you, Congressman Moskowitz. you’re doing the Lord’s work.

meanwhile, Everything Is Always Joe Biden’s Fault — or, in this case, the fault of one of Sleepy Joe’s government-hating sleeper-cell commies.

“The propagandists are making baseless claims with a very suspicious orchestrated narrative. I have my own questions. I smell a rat. There needs to be a full out investigation. Perhaps a Biden holdover NOAA insider could have sabotaged weather forecasts to not give adequate warning, in order for media and Democrats, including propaganda shills on X to blame budget cuts and the Trump administration. They can claim it’s due to ‘low resources’. This could be a sneaky way to make Trump look bad for DOGE trimming the fat from NOAA’s funds. A Deep-State politically motivated hit job that cost the lives of these innocent children?”

gotta love that hmmm emoji at the end of Julie’s rant. it really sells the batshit.

fact check: fuck straight off, Julie.

you want the real culprits, Julie? look no further than the Space Nazi’s merry band of pimply DOGE incels, who were tasked with the job of entering every government office building and announcing to the gathered employees, ‘hit the bricks, your jobs just went fuckity-bye.’

hey, you’ll never guess what happens when you fire everyone who knows how to get shit done.

The staffing shortages suggested a separate problem, those former officials said — the loss of experienced people who would typically have helped communicate with local authorities in the hours after flash flood warnings were issued overnight.

let’s give credit to the remaining experts still employed by NOAA. they’re working their asses off, and doing an amazing job — but there’s only so much you can accomplish when every other desk in your office is no longer occupied.

now, here’s what happens when you not only fire the experts, but also replace them with morons.

“the idea is to automate that, to put it on the cloud, so that the 2,100 meteorologists and the hundreds of hydrologists can forecast the weather from central locations, and back up each other, and be more appropriate.”

that was granny-starving plutocrat Howard Lutnick, barely a month ago, moronsplaining to Congress how totes amazeballs weather forecasting is going to be once everything is all up on the cloud — whatever the fuck that means. don’t ask Lutnick, he doesn’t know.

as I wrote at the time:

it cannot be overstated just how much Howie has no fucking clue what he’s talking about. all he’s doing is mindlessly parroting the incoherent gibberish that Kid Ketamine yammered at him whilst in the middle of a ten-day bender.

…and then all the spoons and the forks will be up in the cloud which will be so much more appropriate to the hydrologists…

meanwhile, the National Weather Service has been gutted to the point where it can’t even predict a fucking tornado.

yeah, how did all that up in the cloud bullshit work out for the state of Texas, when they couldn’t get anyone at NOAA to answer the phone?

as fucked as Texas is right now, at least they still have FEMA to appeal to for disaster relief. if the Mad King gets his way, by this time next year, none of us will.

that’s the hurricane season, you’ll recall, that the current head of FEMA had no idea was a thing.

once again, morons in government. what could go wrong?

oh wait, we just found out what could go wrong.

so, Texas just got a schooling as to why government is important. do you think the lesson stuck?

let’s check in with cowboy-cosplayer Brisco Cain.

Brisco is a member of the Texas House of Representatives. he’s also a Republican, so I’m sure you can already guess where I’m going with this.

“We must not allow this great tragedy to be used to grow government.”

absolutely — let’s not let the lifeless bodies of dozens of schoolgirls being pulled from the Guadalupe River distract us from the important work of gutting government services to the point where nothing functions any more.

this senseless tragedy is just the price we pay for amurrican freedumb.

here’s your hero of the day: Joshua Aaron, the developer of the ICEBlock app.

ICEBlock sends an alert to your phone when ICE goons are lurking in your area.

Donny, Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi are all melting straight the fuck down over this app, and vowing to prosecute the shit out of Aaron, based on an interpretation of the Constitution known as we can do whatever we want ’cause we’re making shit up as we go along.

here’s Joshua on MSNBC, serving up to Donny, Kristi and Pam a heaping mug of shut the fuck up.

MSNBC: “Josh, are you not concerned that the administration might come after you personally for the development of this app?”

Joshua Aaron: “I think that whenever you push back against a regime that is pushing authoritarianism, and pushing fascism, and subverting the rule of law, and our Constitution, if you push back against them, you have to know they’re going to come after you in some way. and I say, ‘go ahead, come after me, you can demonize me all you want, you can demonize the app all you want. but the reality is, it’s protected speech under the First Amendment. there’s nothing illegal about creating this app, and there’s nothing illegal about using the app.”

“come after me.” holy shit.

courage is in very short supply these day. we need to celebrate it when it happens.

this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:

practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.

to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.

we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.
