3. irony is that....

Jul 6

most of the maga red areas of this country are prone to the biggest natural disasters: the south and the plains states in particular. Just another case of really ignorant, uninformed voters screwing themselves to no end. So I WANT to feel empathy for most of them but can't. I feel sick to my stomach for every single dead girl in Texas because it was preventable. It absolutely didn't have to happen. Lots of their parents voted for this gaggle of dipshits that cut all those NWS and NOAA jobs. Tragically, it close all those girls their lives. As I said: didn't need to be that way.
