    Reminder that Kerr county bitched and moaned about The Big Gubment when offered a $10M grant for infrastructure under the auspice it would be used for a flood warning system. Then they quietly took the money and gave it to their sheriff’s department instead.

    I’ve been there. They have a lot of fucking cops. But they have no flood warning system.

    Hmm.

    This is what the majority of Texans voted for.

    You know, the last time children died in Texas, it was Uvalde. And Uvalde re-elected the same republicans who got them into that situation. I won’t be surprised when everyone votes for the same republicans again.

    Just remember, it’s all Obama’s fault. Or Hillary’s. Or something.

      Before Uvalde it was the winter storm. Texas sure takes a lot of pride in being self-sufficient :/
