I also saw something at one point that claimed the solution to the magic bullet theory was just that a secret service member accidentally shot jfk after Oswald shot. And that the conspiracy/cover up is more along the lines of they didn’t want that getting out, either to protect the agency and/or the individual. In my mind this explanation makes sense, but I’m not really invested in any of it.
Its splicing the golden idol from cpac however many years ago and an image of them blessing the real trump in the white house from his first term.
The fact that these problems are present at the beginning stages show that this was always the intended result. Obviously none of this is shocking, but it does amaze me that they don’t even have the patience to pretend that it was ‘a good plan that went sour along the way’. Shows that if you have half of the nation fully captured then optics don’t even matter anymore.
Saw a quote the other day from a FEMA worker that said the guy in charge basically won’t be reached so Noem (his boss) is on in Texas instead. And she is well known for only showing ip for photo ops as opposed to actually helping. So it sounds like all levels above the actual workers who want to help are a complete disaster.
Goes on to describe exactly what everyone thinks. Totally worthless article, although at the end Scott Bessent compared Trump to Bobby Knight, which yeah, checks out.
She caught his eye wandering.
I’d call frogger a platformer, but the water aspect is only aesthetic. So disagree with OP on that but for different reasons.

That’s not a part of this article… this article starts with the first paragraph, followed in paragraph 3 and five, which all do more to disparage the forecast than mention an uthing about lack of dissemination (who the person you’re quite would be referring to. This is another hit piece disguised as something else.

Officials in Texas are casting blame on the National Weather Service (NWS) for failing to forecast catastrophic flooding that has killed 24 people…

“The original forecast that we received Wednesday from the National Weather Service predicted 3-6 inches of rain in the Concho Valley and 4-8 inches in the Hill Country,” said Texas Emergency Management Chief W. Nim Kidd at a press conference Friday. “The amount of rain that fell at this specific location was never in any of those forecasts.”…

Dalton Rice, the city manager for Kerrville, Texas—who also spoke at the press conference—said that the catastrophic flash flooding happened because the skies “dumped more rain than what was forecasted” on two of the river’s forks….

This is a matter of storms being able to supercharge themselves due to global warming. Don’t let people reframe this against the NWS. It is like Hurricane Erick the other week that jumped to category 3 out of nowhere, storms are being supercharged. This flood broke all sorts of records, so to phrase it as the previous commenter did is unfair… In the near future, their ability to even predict as well as they did will degrade though, at which point you will hear more of ‘they never knew what they were talking about anyways.’ This lays the groundwork for that.
Don’t fall for it. While the NWS is definitely being gutted, there was nothing wrong with their reporting. They issued proper preliminary reports and warnings leading up to the tragic event. This wasn’t an issue of not being forewarned, it was an issue of a river rising over twenty feet in a rapid timeframe. These officials are once again denigrating scientists, and not once did they mention increasing funding for these services.
