The cartoon isn’t mocking the victims - it’s criticizing the leadership that failed them. That is the time and place. And if the goal is to prevent future tragedies, the worst thing we can do is stay silent out of deference to the feelings of those in power. Silence protects the status quo - just like the status quo is kids being gunned down in classrooms while nothing changes. Also, calling it a “cheap shot” ignores the fact that this administration and Republicans have a track record of undermining climate policy, emergency preparedness, and local infrastructure investment. If you want receipts, they exist - but I’m not sure you’re actually looking for policy analysis. You’re just mad someone pointed a finger. If a cartoon can spark that much outrage, maybe it hit a little too close to home. Great post! I especially like your analogy linking flood disaster policy with gun control policy. MAGA’s indignation with Adam Zygus has been, dare I say, “cartoonish.” Rational people should be far more angry with public policy failures enabling these disasters than with political cartoons whose entire purpose, essentially, is to expose said policy failures in a provocative (and sometimes insensitive) manner. As you implied, the cartoonish indignation serves as a political strategy to run out the clock on a contentious issue until some other news headline captures the public’s attention. The lachrymose “too soon, but thoughts and prayers in the meantime” crowd needs to be reminded that expeditiously identifying and addressing causes of disasters saves lives from impending new disasters. Let’s summarize these policy failures. MAGA wants to point out that we can’t make a direct connection between the central Texas floods and anthropogenic climate change. They also want to argue that recent DOGE cuts to personnel and equipment for NWS and NOAA have no direct connection with the poor flood preparedness (in Texas but also elsewhere in the country). I can agree with MAGA here on pedantic technical grounds, but the smoking gun for me is the state GOP’s repeated denials of flood alert systems for that particular flood plain region of Texas. Scientists had long been insisting upon the implementation of these comparatively inexpensive systems, but Texas GOP politicians rejected them because of foolish austerity measures plus associations with “liberal climate change ideology.” FEMA’s embarrassingly sluggish response hasn’t helped the situation, either. It comes down to this: right-wingers believe government is inherently incompetent and inefficient. Then when they get elected, they do everything to undermine government and reinforce said philosophy. Rinse and repeat. They want to return FEMA duties to the states, but states rarely have the budget to handle major environmental catastrophes (and obviously can’t print their own money and run large deficits). To no one’s surprise, many of these same troglodytes believe chemtrails caused these floods… At some point, the top 51% of the IQ pool needs to reclaim democracy from the bottom 49% of it. If you’re far too stupid for science and rational thought, at least respect the people who aren’t. 1 1
BillsFanNC Posted July 11 Posted July 11 To be fair to Roundy he has never personally threatened to harm ICE agents. He's just said that he'd be very pleased if someone else murdered one. Typical coward commie behavior.

Im not sure why so many of your posts have to be a doctoral thesis, but since you point out failures at the state level with the flood alert, do you have that same smoke for Gavin Newsom and his handling of fire prone areas in California? Just curious. 1

I had some family friends that came for a visit last week & FEMA was so gracious to have given some of the families that lost everything in NC a check for $450 & then there were those that got as much as $4k and many that are still living in sheds as their make shift homes so many months after that storm . So I guess they still haven't changed enough of those people in that part of the gov't because from the last administration to this one it seems as though not much has changed . Question - Just how loud were you B*TCHING about this when this happened under Ole Joe ??? Or is this just because you have TDS ??? Seeing as you are who you are & we know how you are it would be the later of the 2 questions !!! 1

Maybe this should be a wake up call to all of us & those that are in our gov't to put America FIRST and keep a lot of the funding that is needlessly spent on stupid crap elsewhere here for the likes of some of that equipment that could have saved lives, or maybe to help our veterans more that gave personal liberties and such for the country rather than being foolish with a lot of the monies they just give away because of a back door promises & wars . Wouldn't it be nice if those pallets of money that were sent to Iran for their "Nuclear Peace Deal" would have been sitting there to use for this instead of god only knows what those terrorists used it for ??

Most of my ire surrounding the politics of California fires, however, tends to get directed at urban and suburban sprawl. Some geographical locations are simply too dangerous for houses. And since I’m a hardcore environmentalist, I’m mainly concerned with ecosystem degradation. There’s also the climate change component to the politics, of course, on which you probably know where I vociferously stand. I can just as easily throw the question back to you guys: are you all as outraged with the disaster response from Governor “Hot Wheels” and his Texas GOP cohort as you’ve been with that of Governor Newsom and the Cali leftists??

Just saying that is 1 very large example of political ignorants that may have been able to have saved even a few Americans here on our own soil . Dude…the meteorologists and geologists who are considered experts on Texas floods are telling us that the ~$1 million flood alarm systems would have saved many lives!! People who work at NOAA and NWS are telling us that the DOGE cuts are already compromising their ability to forecast weather. With critical functions now understaffed, the drastic reduction in weather balloon launches further hinders their ability to predict large rainfall events with accuracy and timeliness. MAGA types deeply distrust earth scientists, but the anthropogenic climate change “debate” shows that this skepticism is not healthy because it is not based on any scientific literacy or high-level reasoning skills. I really like the “America first” energy in your post, but you kinda ruin it with your bizarre JCPOA attack. Is “pallets of money” a reference to Iran’s frozen international assets that were returned to them after the lifting of the economic sanctions? Why not instead mention our country’s $1+ trillion annual budget for defense spending?? Or the $20+ billion that has been sent to Israel since 10/7/23 to fund their genocide and ethnic cleansing project in Gaza??
