Every American is in trouble now they are dismantling NOAA, NPR, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and everything else. We are in trouble. Keep calling GOP that they’ll be out as they attack all that protects most Americans.
Trump gutted the national weather service. The technology and scientists who were monitoring the skies in Kentucky were eliminated so there was no warning for people that this was about to happen.
Excuse me, but it is YOU who needs to STFU. You cannot remove politics from the glaring issue because you're a simp for authoritarianism. When one admin guts federal funding for disaster relief because some Ketamine junkie told him to, you damn well better believe it's going political.
You are free to disagree all you want. And I’m free to tell you your opinion sucks. See how that works? Differences of opinion are one thing. You support fascism, misogyny, racism and all those things your dear leader represents and I’ll call you out on it rather than let you normalize it.
She’s a bootlicking bitch who even made fun of president bidens cancer. MAGA Nazis are only good for punching in the neck or we can block them to the far corners of blue sky🤷🏻♀️
Sure would be nice if we had some way to predict and track storms.. or if there was some kind of agency that came in and helped communities when things like this happen 🤷🏼♀️ Elect a r*pist.. expect to get f*cked.
Over 6800 buildings were destroyed in the Palisades Fire, including mine and that of my daughter and her family. It is over a century since the first warnings about climate change. We are all -that's ALL - in this together.
Our ignorance and aversive stupidity is destroying us.
When will we learn?
We're a blue city and the majority of people affected are poor, democrat-voting black communities. You're a ghoul and I hope you think about what your words actually mean next time you post some shit like this
I left the Rocky Mountains to move to New York, and when people would say the Midwest, I was thinking the middle of the west i.e. Colorado and they were talking about Wisconsin and a bunch of states that I drove to on the way to New York... many times people forget how big the US is!!!
You make a good point, but please remember this is more than just Donald. This is the Republican party. They hate our guts. They want to make America sick and unhealthy.
Oh definitely, but I believe if you cut the head off the snake, the snake dies.
Impeach and remove trump and the fever-dream the GOP is in will be broken.
Trump is a snake, he told everyone directly as such.
The rest of them will crawl back under a rock, but they'll still be there, waiting for the next loser that tells them they're winners. When you pull a weed, you get the root or it comes back
The snake that doesn’t get enough attention is Stephen Miller. He is a psychopath and until he is far removed from the levers of power, the Rethuglican party will continue to exist in its current form.
Personally I think that's what they want then they'll have the easily manipulated Vance in charge. And all this doge stuff will be blamed on the orange stain.
The us is walking a very thin tight rope. The path to ending this and fixing it without the whole thing unravling is very tricky. Im not sure what will happen. My only consoliation is both trump being a lazy dumbass, and him being incompetent
Im not sure. Jd is also a believer but his is more for power. The maga base would lose there shit if trump was removed. Sadly this has to hurt alot of his cult so they break there own spells till this stuoid shit ends. Or untill trump is dead (of nat causes) but even that might lead to civil war.
Meanwhile, the President has canceled FEMA support and is posting AI-generated images of himself playing guitar and piano. Maybe he should focus more on what’s going on at home—like the economy, inflation, and other pressing issues.😳😳
......... In the USA, the one we all knew and is only recently deceased, We had a little peace of mind during times of disaster because our Government and its agencies had our backs.
....... as long as Private Bone Spurs gets his military parade.... what is a little citizen suffering, heh'?
I wonder what it’s like knowing there’s no Uncle Sam ready to offer aid or assistance - who is going to pay taxes when we’ve gutted or social services ?
From the MAGA “president”, we’ve heard about ABC, Walmart, Springsteen, Swift and numerous other irrelevant topics. What we haven’t heard is a peep out of this misadministration regarding these devastating storms. Probably don’t want to have their cuts to FEMA thrown directly in their faces.
I moved from the area years ago and I know the area that was hit. This is not a prosperous area. This is the event that will make many people homeless and my heart aches for them.
I live in Boulder, Colorado where NOAA and NCAR (National Center of Atmospheric Research) is located. The scientist work hard to make sure we are all informed and safe. Now they are losing their careers. Read our local newspapers and forums. They are terrified more disasters will kill people!
Yes, that’s understandable. We feel your pain. But always remember this is what Don Dumbo, the Republicans and his right wing handlers at the heritage foundation want.
There are twice as many of these events as there were 15 years ago. Yet, major environmental problems continue to be denied, and current governments cancel all projects to protect it.
They never had a chance and let's not get it twisted FEMA ain't coming to rescue anyone anywhere. Not when there's golf to play and parades to plan! Geeze, let's not get so unreasonable to think our taxes are for the masses. Yeah, now Pence is the reasonable one talking more sense. Yep it's that bad
no mention at all about this, interestingly. a lot of words about the beautiful volunteers & hands on the ground efforts going on. is it npr? or perhaps the story is developing? not sure what “standing by” means. no
mention either of advanced warnings, odd if local sirens didn’t go off
I'm sorry. I'm sorry about your homes. We've told you time and again about climate change and the impact it on increased dangerous storms. Why haven't you listened?
St. Louis is a very Democratic city with lots of climate-conscious voters. We’re the reason many progressive ballot measures have narrowly passed in recent years despite Republican dominance statewide in Missouri.
I live in St Louis, not far from impacted areas. Still no power here.
Apparently outside of here there has been scant coverage, indeed I scrolled for a half an hour before I saw only this. Must not be Bluesky kind of thing.
Donald Trump's answer to climate change is coal. And oil. In addition, he eliminates research and healthcare for coal miners, scientific research on climate, and attempts to eliminate the national weather service. What could possibly go wrong? Many elected Rs know better but most are silent. Cowards
Trump doesn't give a fuck about his supporters in these two red states Kentucky a.d Mississippi. Stupid ass states just make the Texasad Louisiana and so on.
Not only are FEMA and NOAA downsized and failing, Trump is going after 20,000 troops from the National Guard for a surge in deportation enforcement. Governors call up the National Guard for help during natural disasters. That safety net is disappearing too.
I’m so sorry the administration doesn’t care for the American people who’ve been devastated by storms and floods. I pray things change for the better soon!
ELON MUSK AND DONALD TRUMP. HAS ILLEGALLY TERMINATED AND DID AWAY WITH WHAT MAKES NOAA WORK. 38 PEOPLE WOULD NOT BE INJURED OR PASSED AWAY DONALD TRUMP NEEDS TO BE #IMPEECHED ELON MUSK NEEDS HIS GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS REVOKED AND HIS CITIZENSHIP AND HIS ELECTRONIC DEVICES DOGE NEED TO BE CONFISCATED
Bummer about FEMA and the new
“You’re on your own” policy..
“The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s acting chief plans to shift responsibility for disaster recovery to states during the upcoming hurricane season, he said during a staff town hall on Thursday.”
I wonder if the tornadoes, floods and other acts of "God" ever makes the trump loyalist who live in poorly managed red state stop and wonder if their "God" is trying to tell them something
As somebody who went through a tornado going through parts of his city (Dayton,Ohio), you never wanted to happen to anybody else. My heart goes out to the residence of St Louis and its suburbs.
I hope that each and every news outlet highlights the lack of acknowledgement and support from this Regime. I hope that they compare it to the acknowledgement and support ACTUALLY RECEIVED by victims of natural disasters during the BIDEN Administration!!!!!
An unfortunately tRump and the GOP have gutted every federal department that could help these folks. SOL. Can't wait to see what hurricane and fire season have in store for this year. Rural red communities are gonna have a ride awakening.
A state that loudly champions state rights and local control surely is well prepared to help their citizens recover from predictable natural disasters?
I just met 2 X-St Louis residents and their daughter....... in a car park of a big box retailer here in New Zealand..... they said they had to 'get-out'.
No FEMA. So sad. I hope they didn’t vote for Trump, Mr. Felon. He stole the safety of your home, your life and your pets. Have you learned anything now?
Thoughts n tariffs. In trumps America empathy is outlawed so hope they got some thick bootstraps cause under the current regime handouts n help are only allotted for the wealthy/corporations, the only one worthy of tax dollars and consideration. Who needs stupid waste/fraud like FEMA!?!
Hey so like, people did die here in our city and it would be cool if you, I don't know, gave more of a shit about it instead of used it for a suuuuper sick dunk like this
I'm 1 mile west of the Sears Tower in Chicago. I got hit by a tornado last July causing $15K damages. One of my beautiful chimneys was destroyed., trees down on our block.
The one that’s been up for sale for the last 5 years price $240 million with no takers he thinks he’s the king of deal maker but those Arabs could teach him a thing or two.
The National Weather service cuts made by this administration only gave citizens minutes to learn of the disaster headed their way. Who is to blame for these deaths if not this administration?
I’m in Texas and I know there had to be a lot of cheating in the voting.
There were reports.
We wanted Beto O’Rourke for governor and we wanted to oust Ted Cruz, Beto lost both, even tho there was overwhelming support for him.
Ha! No, we wouldn't want to go there!!
I mean saying a presidential election in the U.S.A. was STOLEN would be nuts!
Probably should put anyone who spouts conspiracy theories with NO EVIDENCE in an insane asylum and confiscate any firearms...for their own good!
Correct?
The diagnosis has long been discredited because of its scientific inadequacy and its use as a means of confining dissenters. It has never been used or recognized outside of the Eastern Bloc. It is considered a prime example of
Honestly, given how much projection the conservatives do on the regular... them starting the steal talk in 2020 was designed to defang all talk about it when THEY do it. But seriously, they project like that's on Olympic sport! Biggest pedos are pastors. Not drag queens.
It's called, 90 million Americans didn't vote, and under half of 30 million Texans are included in that number. Texas also has an extremely restrictive voter registration system, coupled with pervasive Gerrymandering.
Dumb ass republicans & Musk. Where is FEMA? Where is the help? Answer: Victims of storms are on your own. Thanks to Trump, Musk & the Republican “Sit On Their Asses” Congress.
I'm sure DJT will be sending paper towels. Oh and maybe ICE can come to the disaster area so Noem Dome can strut around in camos while her flying monkeys in masks arrest people .
So did California. Voting history will not matter when the states need to "take care of themselves". Well, maybe Florida will receive assistance, but only if Mar-a-Lago is impacted.
The state voted for the rapist. No one is getting anything. Not blue and not red. The red states are going to suffer more because they use more services. And vote for people who don’t care.
Of course not! I don’t believe I singled out any area. Nobody deserves this- but now we will all suffer bc of poor choices. Sorry if you thought otherwise.
Respectfully, over 80% of St. Louis voted blue, and additionally, a lot of the neighborhoods most affected are largely minority neighborhoods which likely voted blue at an even higher percentage.
Even if this wasn’t the case, these are still human lives affected. Have empathy, it’s not difficult.
Your point is well taken the cities are not the issue here. It’s just a level of frustration with red states in general. Those suffering in no way deserve this. Why there isn’t a reasonable understanding of how bad Trump is escapes me. It’s not even conservative vs. liberal. Perplexing!
I love how everyone is turning this into a "red state voted for this" - bro, us lefties live here too. Our families live here. We can't leave. This is not FAFO - *everyone* is fucked under this administration.
Hi, person who lives in St. Louis, we're a deep blue city and the majority of people who lost their homes here are from poor minority communities. Hope this helps you gain some fucking sympathy in the future!
My intention was not to come across as unsympathetic. My intention was to vent my frustration at an administration that took away FEMA protection from Americans when they need it most, blue or red. I apologize for any misunderstanding I may have caused.
St. Louis is predominantly liberal. The state of Missouri is predominantly conservative. Ironically, those who most need FEMA in the St. Louis area were unlikely to vote for Trump. Maybe it's not ironic.
Thank you so much for that. I just hate being in the dark. And you have shone some light on the topic (pun intended). Yep I could have googled it but I end up going down rabbit holes.
I want to know: are the billionaires who get the money we cut from fema and the national weather system going to pay for the relief and aid and cleanup for tornadoes and other disasters now? Seems like if they got the money from it the get the responsibility too…
“People are going to die because of these cuts. Not might die, not could die: will die. Families will lose everything. Communities will be wiped off the map.”
Жаль людей. Но не жаль банки, строительные и страховые компании которые если и потеряют что то, от этого, то всё равно получат прибыль, продолжая разрешать строить дома из говна и палок.

It does a nation good.
He's turned his back on states in need from disasters.
MO needs immediate Emergency Aid from this indolent, criminal, incompetent Executive Branch.
Yet it STILL hasn't come.
He's busy being an asshole on the internet.
Like those w/ a problem w/ asking if the victims will get help.
Stfu
We don’t want him here skinning and grinning anyway, he can can keep our City out of his mouth.
Remember: the first step in healing is admitting you have a problem.
Our ignorance and aversive stupidity is destroying us.
When will we learn?
Get it yet?
Also do not let the ( 🍊 💩 or apartheid boy) admin defund @climate.noaa.gov
They save lives
Sadly, I'm afraid they will be out of luck.
Will President trump be notified?
Oh, what’s that you say, ‘he doesn’t give a fuck’?
Ohh right, my bad. You’d have to be a human with a heart to actually care for other people.
Impeach and remove trump and the fever-dream the GOP is in will be broken.
Trump is a snake, he told everyone directly as such.
....... as long as Private Bone Spurs gets his military parade.... what is a little citizen suffering, heh'?
Senator Josh Hawley are boots on the ground to make Trump proud he’s demolishing FEMA, right?
The question I have is: Should I send my extra boot straps to you or would you rather have FEMA helping your state?
mention either of advanced warnings, odd if local sirens didn’t go off
Lunatic degenerate.
Why?
More money in Trump's and his enablers pockets.

I hope they received adequate warnings and will receive disaster assistance they need-especially since Trump admin gutted both programs.
Did you 🫵🏼 vote for him ?
🔥🇺🇸🔥
FECK!
This administration is the most authoritarian blight ever affecting us. He helps his friends and squashes his enemies.
MAGA voters - maybe he can send some DEI Afrikaners to help you out…

in the Soviet Union.
Kamala got HANDED the list of discrepancies, and her response was to yell at the people informing her rather than trying to fight against the Nazis.
One of the DOGE guys won.
To those who voted for Kamala... I'm sorry we tried
And, maybe we need to deal with the increasing intensity and frequency of catastrophic weather events 👀
Even if this wasn’t the case, these are still human lives affected. Have empathy, it’s not difficult.
Right?
Criticize the department so you can disband it.
Dumb dumb dumb dumb
Oh, wait.
three simple steps
1. Do away with FEMA
2. Do away with early warnings
3. Do away with reality news
He has that sort of kink.
Did you vote for this MAGA supporter?
