The First Responders were there 2 days ago, "immediately" is no longer an option. If it were a birthday card, it'd be called "belated" so thanks for the belated emergency response, I guess.
The President has signed a disaster declaration for Kerr County, Texas. ❤️

Americans, showing that in that time-tested political formula "Bread and Circuses", you can do away with the bread, and just go with circuses.

What if somebody claims to be a CBP officer, but their face is covered and they refuse to show any ID and they try to grab me out of my home and stuff me into a car?. Is that a scam, too? Or is it following due process?.
🚨SCAM ALERT🚨.If you receive a call from someone claiming to be a CBP officer or Border Patrol agent demanding payment from you, hang up: it's a scam. CBP does NOT solicit money over the phone. Learn more about this scam ➡️

My grandpa, Giuseppe (Joe) Pesavento, came to the US on a boat in 1913, from Italy, an immigrant, age 9. His father had wanted to earn more money. By today's standard, he was "undocumented", until at long last his father was naturalized, in February 1941.

"Once in a lifetime" - maybe before Trumps National Weather Service and Federal Emergency Management Agency cuts. I'll bet you we have a worse disaster before this hurricane season is over, with more fatalities. That's how obvious it is that these deaths were avoidable.
I am devastated by what's been happening in Texas. Texas Hill Country just experienced a HISTORIC flood disaster. - Guadalupe River rose 26 FEET in 45 minutes .- 237 people rescued (167 by helicopter) .- 25 fatalities confirmed . This is being called a "once-in-a-lifetime"

Great news everybody Kristi Noem is sending Texas some fixed wing aircraft.
Kristi Noem: I do know that the state of Texas is an amazing in how it responds to disasters. Not every state is like that. Many states do not do what the people of Texas do.

Where is FEMA? Don't we have a FEMA there precisely to save lives during a disaster?.
Texas is vowing relentless rescue and recovery efforts as catastrophic flooding left at least 32 people dead, 14 of them children. 27 remain missing from a girls’ camp in Kerr County, with 15 counties now under disaster declarations.

Check out the American Kleptocracy Clearinghouse Weekly Update to get updates on: . * Self-enrichment, like Eric Trump raising $215M in funding for bitcoin mining . * Cronyism, like the SEC Inspector General being an industry lawyer. And more!.

The American Kleptocracy Clearinghouse Weekly Update is a doozy. H. J. Justin Sun - avoiding the US for years, formerly charged with crimes by the SEC, which were 'paused' in Feb - got a private White House Tour in May.
