"After severe flooding in non-evacuated areas in Texas has left at least 24 dead with dozens more missing, including several young girls at a summer camp, Texas officials are blaming their failure to act on a faulty forecast by Donald Trump’s new National Weather Service gutted by cuts to their operating budget and most experienced personnel."

"The voters of Texas decided that they wanted Donald Trump and Greg Abbott to be in charge of the government services they received. That is exactly what they are getting. And as of this writing on Saturday morning, Trump still hasn’t said a word about the storm and the little girls who were killed at the camp."

"However, Trump was seen dancing on the balcony of the White House last night celebrating the latest round of cuts in his budget bill that just became law so billionaires and corporations can have huge tax cuts."

There will, sad to say, be more and more consequences to the path we — many of us — have chosen for our nation, serious, lethal consequences.

"You all got it. You're all in media. You got that forecast. It did not predict the amount of rain that we saw."

WHY IS NWS MALFUNCTIONING? DID SOMEONE GUT ITS PERSONNEL AND SLASH ITS FUNDING?

Just asking for many friends.
