Asking questions about whether Texas residents' deaths could've been prevented, including children, isn't 'evil'

[bigtree]

No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC
Wow.

Trump says that Texas families who are concerned about the lack of warning before the deadly floods are “evil”: “Only a very evil person would ask a question like that.”


questions...

🚨POST EXCLUSIVE: Kerr County, where 100 people died and 160 remain missing, had the technology to turn every local cellphone into a blaring alarm but officials did not do so before or during rapidly rising river levels that overtook campsites and homes.

Two days after catastrophic floods roared through Central Texas, FEMA did not answer calls from thousands of survivors, documents show.

1. Asking questions is the responsible thing to do.

If you want to prevent another tragedy, you have to find out what went wrong, and asking questions is necessary.

2. Do not dare to criticize the emperor and his

Shitshow clowns

3. In the minds of the MAGAts the narrative is already set.

Texans are the best people whose family values mandate that they spare no effort or expense to keep their children safe. They're proud and independent types who put their faith in God and don't need government to interfere with their lives. What happened was an event that no one could have predicted or planned for.

Anyone who questions that narrative is evil.

5. (October, 2024) 'Trump returns to the storm zone, criticizes Biden administration's response'

"Former President Trump returned to the storm zone in Georgia" to attack the Biden administration's response to the flooding disaster.

6. Kind of unfair to ask a question you know the answer to and doesn't have a safe space answer whatsoever for Shitler?

Him blowing it off as stupid/evil/mean/awful/ridiculous is future comedy gold IMHO if someone would please cut and paste together a solid 10m video of him saying this 100 different times+?

Or a someone catalog every question he did this to, and see an obvious pattern?

What is a demented likely more than adjacent to crimes against humanity on the regular guy suppose to do?

Review just the fact the safety stuff was not properly in place for starters and they have no good excuses really available other than mysterious ways and future very very large lawsuits that who will pay for?

7. It really saddens me, no

angers me that these supposed journalists receive an answer like that and they all don't scream back at him are you fucking kidding me. Instead they cower with their tail between their legs. Shameful.

9. Just how long are we supposed to put up with this bullshit?

If publicly insulting the families of dead children isn't grounds for removal from office, then what the hell is?

10. Old Soviet tactic

Respond to an outrageous damaging truth with a more outrageous LIE.

11. I guess it's now patriotic to sacrifice your children to Republican stinginess and stupidity.

The evil people are the Kerr County Republicans—along with Trump and his whole administration.

13. Trump should resign in disgrace

Kristi Noem should hide her face in shame.

No doubt the little girls who drowned wish there were strings attached to the federal aid which was cut.

Texans should go the the funerals created by Donald trump and see what rugged individualism gets you.

14. Evil people made this film in 1993

They should never have talked about the last terrrible flood which killed children.

Always the wrong time to talk about actual things!

Always the right time to talk about purely imaginary things!

[Martin68]

15. Republicans believe any question about their policies is evil. They are under the delusion that they are God's

chosen ones, and anything they believe must be true. Even if they believed the opposite the week before.

[BoRaGard]

16. Why do the republicons hate and attack the truth?

That always strikes me as satanic.

repubes need to get themselves right.

[EndlessWire]

18. I don't know if this

flood could have been prevented on that paricular day. But, I am sick of trump declaring people as "very evil" who question results. You have to figure that every family who lost someone wants to know how and why their person died. The reporters have the right to have a civil answer on behalf of the families. There are so many other things he could have said, yet he just wanted to shut down the inquiry, so he said that.

HE"S the one who said they were ending FEMA after hurricane season. I don't buy the crap about his concern over the tragedy, how his "heart" aches for the victims, etc. He's as phoney as they come.
