So, when they try to deflect blame and say "Trump's cuts hadn't taken effect yet," keep this in mind.

Like being a buncha hypocrites ever stopped them from worshiping Trump.
FEMA is dead. The states are on their own, they just weren't given any time to prepare.
It used to be that there were consequences for fuckery like this. Congressional hearings, firings, resignations, getting blackballed from employment, and even impeachments. Now, it’s just another day with this inept and evil administration, and everyone just shrugs their shoulders.
🤮
I gotta say, three guns per person is starting to sound like a strength and not a weakness.
You’re not wrong
On July 5, as floodwaters were starting to recede, FEMA received 3,027 calls from disaster survivors and answered 3,018, or roughly 99.7%, the documents show. Contractors with four call center companies answered the vast majority of the calls.
That evening, however, Noem did not renew the contracts with the four companies and hundreds of contractors were fired, according to the documents and the person briefed on the matter.
The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or roughly 35.8%, according to the documents. And on Monday, July 7, the agency fielded 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, or around 15.9%, the documents show.
How could they not use AI??? (/s)
That's what they wanted. Small government. Bootstrap. All that. Feds have been widely lambasted, shit on, gutted for resources, and now those left operate in a constant state of fear and worry just trying to do a decent job for this so-called society.
Get fucked.
Edit: see the comment below pointing out precisely what I'm getting at. This county asked for it and its unsurprising.
I really hope these people I knew of who purposely moved to Texas to support Texas politics lost their home. 🤞
Is that mean of me? No, these people constantly voted for things that hurt or even killed people around me. They pushed beliefs that actively harm other people. I would have zero remorse if my wishful thinking came true.
As for what we do next, I wish my state would stop paying federal taxes.
Im just picturing a Republican voter with a trump flag blaming Biden while his house is washed away
Oh, we know exactly who killed those people trump and noem are murderers
More blood on these Nazi’s hands.
trump and noem are murderers
... again.
Trust Republicans to take a government program that was already limping along and make it a hundred times worse.
Texans who voted for these dumbasses deserve the pain. Those who didn't, they need to get better organized and get their state sorted out. This shit isn't going to improve and the next time is gonna be worse than the last.
Texans will never listen. They never learn. They are still blaming Biden.
See, government doesn't work. /s
yeah its like what they do to the usps and the aca. Its amazing on how things don't work that they work to make not work.
They voted for it to be abolished so to be expected.

Welcome to Republican-run taxpayer-paid public services. Why provide efficient public services when billionaires are waiting for another tax break?
