I fucking read fine.

A "warning coordination meteorologist" would have been superfluous and would NOT have changed the outcome of the flood.

The ONLY people who could have been saved, were the people who heeded the watches and warnings, which they got in AMPLE time.

The houses, cars and people in the path of the flood never stood a chance, unless they heeded the warnings.

ANY time we hear a siren, we check both TV and radio.

You liberals are making excuses and/or trying to make it seem it's Trump's fault.

Ridiculous.

You can't fucking read: "Although Trump's cuts did affect staffing at the two weather service offices in charge of the affected 
area, AN AGENCY SPOKESPERSON TOLD US VIA EMAIL THAT BOTH OFFICES WERE *****FULLY STAFFED***** AT THE TIME OF THE FLOODS.

I don't give a flying fuck if they were going to hire more... they were "FULLY STAFFED". They didn't have openings because of cuts, 
you fucking moron.

Also... WHO doesn't have a smartphone which usually has an Emergency notice app on it?

People were given a 12 hour flash flood watch and a 3 hour flash flood WARNING.

A 24 hour flood watch and a 6 hour flood warning and even an amber alert, would not have made any difference. If people didn't heed 
12 hours and 3 hours, they wouldn't have heeded any thing more, or less.

The only thing I can think of that would have helped more, were emergency personnel out and broadcasting over P.A. speakers to 
IMMEDIATELY evacuate... NOW!

I've seen and heard of that, but I don't think anyone is capable of doing that these days. AND, moron... cuts to offices in Austin 

Snopes:  Following the devastating and destructive flash flooding in central Texas on July 4, 2025, users online claimed that U.S. 
President Donald Trump's administration was ultimately to blame for the flood's 100 deaths due to staffing cuts at the National 
Weather Service.

The weather service issued a series of TIMELY ALERTS: a FLOOD WATCH early in the afternoon on July 3, a FLASH FLOOD WARNING at 1:14 
a.m. July 4, and a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY at 4:03 a.m. July 4, before any in-person reports of flooding had been received.

Communicating the warnings to the public was made more difficult because THE FLOODING HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT in an 
area without a robust emergency communication system. Also, it was the Fourth of July weekend, when many people who weren't local 
residents - meaning they may have had less knowledge of the flash flooding risks - were present. Although Trump's cuts did affect 
staffing at the two weather service offices in charge of the affected area, an agency spokesperson told Snopes via email that BOTH 
OFFICES WERE FULLY STAFFED at the time of the floods. 
 
Do you know what that means? The office fully staffed themselves in order to take care of the problem as best they could. The cuts 
had ZERO effect.

> That ain't a cleaning crew.

That was a joke, boy... ah say a joke!

The NWS stations and offices were FULLY STAFFED.

EoD. /s

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
