80 deaths in the flood so far.

#3 The answer to that is yes
AbsolutelyNotBacon
Classic conservative/regressive strategy: Defund/manipulate something to the point it barely works anymore, wait until there's a major problem, say "See? This is useless and woke and communist etc.!!" and proceed to destroy it completely while claiming they're actually doing the people a service.

#1 I mean, they are right. It is evidence of climate change

#1 we are royally fucked

Interested in a visible diagram of exactly how far we've been fucked so far? https://www.project2025.observer/

#2 right now the floods killed 129 with 170 still missing. At this point, i have no confidence that the 170 missing could be alive, so ultimate death toll could be almost 300.

#1 I've lost track of all of Elons BS but why would he support climate change denialism?
IrrelevantIrrelevant
Because the D's acknowledge it exists. The R playbook is entirely comprised of "If the D's/Libs say anything, do the opposite" because they have long lost sight of what their party was supposed to stand for.
Elon is a right winger, and while he does have enough intelligence to know that things will get bad, he thinks he can just escape it with his money (and is probably right, unfortunately) thus he has no reason not to support denialism.
LaffertyDanie1
Where I'm confused is that it seems like he has a large economic interest in not supporting denialism... It's antithetical to the primary demand driver for the company that's responsible for pretty much his entire net worth.
AngryBisexualWithAKeyboard
That's assuming he understands economics. So far the evidence indicates he's on the level of the kid that thinks the nickel is worth more than the dime because it's bigger.

#3 The United States of America has it's roots literally literally in the worst kind(s) of so-called Christianity ever to exist. The "pilgrims" didn't escape from England due to being persecuted. They moved to another continent because they weren't allowed to persecute others. Like, they literally literally hunted and murdered Quakers for fun.
KainLamond
I guess you're getting down voted for the "literally literally" because we were founded by a cult, tho there were settlers here already before the Pilgrims they were one of the big groups and ones that did it for non financial reasons.

#3 Honestly, they don't read it. There's two barriers: literacy and assumption. Those who are most religious are least literate and if they can get past that, most assume they already know it all and they imagine it is exactly how they think it should be, confirming literally every bias they have with divine direction and authority.
So they can literally beat people to death for being gay or black and comfortably think they are just doing god's work, exactly like every other religious terrorist

#4 A natural-born citizen can have their citizenship legally revoked, but only under specific circumstances, like if they swear allegiance to a foreign government or if they are *convicted* of an act of treason against the U.S. So the question is, amid Trump's continued attacks on the judiciary, will he be able to find a court corrupt enough to sustain a false charge of treason against people who speak against him?
ilovetraveler
#3 none of them have ever actually read it
JustMattt
#1 I'm sure that's a part of it, but the bigger part is that they don't think that weather information should be given out to the public for free. To them weather forecasts and warnings shouldn't be a public good, but a service that you need to pay a premium for.
AngryBisexualWithAKeyboard
There it is. Watch the other hand.
LittleAzie
Mind you, we did already pay a premium for it - it was called tax money. But instead of looking at it as if tax money belongs to everyone, they look at it as 'tax money belongs to me and the rich!'

Where would a us citizen be deported to? Would they send me to Japan because I’m a fourth gen Japanese-American? Wouldn’t Japan just deport me back because I’m a US citizen? Where would they deport Native American Indians?
GWJYonder
They'll probably just send you to one of the foreign countries that is accepting other nationals and imprisoning them. Could put you in Guantanamo Bay as well, or Alligator Alcatraz. History and logic suggests that camps like that will grow until natural mistreatment causes deaths at about the same rate as they need new seats. Unless of course they decide to speed it along.
brightlightbarking
They act like they're joking about "feeding the alligators". It's not a joke. They'll just kill the people they can't send to foreign prisons and throw the bodies in the swamp, so they continue to have empty beds for new dissenters.

#4 Isn't... this exactly what they did in Nazi Germany? I just... HOW do the Republicans not see this? Or do they just not care anymore?

#3 Why bother? I'm an atheist and I've read more of that thing than they did.
AngryBisexualWithAKeyboard
I think I know why you're an atheist 🤣

Ah you're one of those. Thats not surprising.

Jokes aside I was raised as one. I still read most of the book.

#1 - a more proximal cause of the deaths in Kerr County, Texas, is the fact that almost a decade ago the county decided NOT to install flood sirens along the Guadalupe River because citizens and residents thought tests and false alarms would be too annoying.
Every kid who died has a direct connection to idiots who didn't want to be bothered.
imperfectregulator
Excatly this, #1 seems to blame the cuts (and a side affect the NWS as well) that is not and was not the case the NWS did it job, it made timely reports and warnings, the corrupt and ignorant scummy politicians of Kerr county chose not only to not upgrade the warning system but it didn’t send approvals to the warning systems delayed by hours
ThrowingSchadenfreude
Kerr County also refused $10.2M in 2021 because it was offered by the Biden administration as part of the American Rescue Plan Act. It was funding allocated for things like improving storm drainage, communications systems, and public safety facilities. I would guess that storm sirens and other emergency communication programs could have been paid for with that money.
SamuelPenning
I hope every conservative family impacted by this tragedy sits down for the holidays, looks to the empty seats and thinks "I voted for this"
RARusk
Nah, they'll just think "I don't have to worry about buying Christmas presents this year. More money for me."
corndude101
They won’t. They look at you and scream, “How can you make this political‽”
Then they’ll go grieve for a bit, and in the end it will be the democrats faults. For one or more of the following reasons:
1. They seeded the clouds and control the weather.
2. They prevented Trump from doing what he wanted by delaying the passing of the BBB. The weather service would have had their new routines in place had it passed sooner.
More reasons bellow
1/
corndude101
3. We wasted tax dollars on things like NOAA and green energy when that money could have been going to help prevent flooding.
4. Democrats made sacrifices to Satan to make this happen to good people.
5. The cabins and camp structures were built by immigrants that did shoddy work.
And the list could go on and on.
I’ve already heard a few of them down here in Texas.

#3 They use the bible buffet, picking and choosing very specific parts to consume whilst the rest doesn't exist
kennebel
A couple of years ago, my father in law, late 70’s, who holds being Catholic as a core part of his life, talked about how he opened the Bible for the first time in his life. I think he only read a little before putting it down and not opening it again. Still put out a sign in his front yard for TFG last year. They don’t have a different Bible, they just need a prop.
kozmo403
Cherry picking all over to make their shitty points. And somehow Jesus was white despite being from the middle-east.
HighSorcerer
Yeah its the same bible, they've just never opened it and wave it around like its a sword or something when they get upset about other people having rights.
vegivamp
That's what she Christians do. Show me one that doesn't wear clothes made from two different materials.
livurz
Acts 4:32-34. Purely anti-american according to them. Also slappers like this.
jjsjosCreator
I got invited by a girl years ago to a Bible study group, I politely refused saying that I had read the Bible and didn't agree with much of the morals (137:9 as an example). when I told her of that line she was shocked "I had no idea that was in the Bible. when I asked if she had ever read it , researched or anything she said "no, I just learn from the pastor"..... too many religious people follow things without reading for themselves, because we all know priests never lied or manipulated.
NemoPseudonym
Same book, but to them it's purely a hammer with witch "lessers" are beaten into place with. Or just beaten because.

They're hardly unique in that, though: T'was always thus :P *Ahem* Council of Nicea *cough*
