It's so funny how these guys say "import the third world, become the third world" and then their own policy preferences end up converging with the taliban

This couple was enthusiastic Trump supporters until ICE detained the wife at a green card interview last month:
“We feel totally blindsided. Betrayed.”

The missing piece of this viral post is that the Texas officials are lying and deflecting blame. The NWS, hobbled as it is, issued an accurate flood watch for Kerr County the evening before and accurate escalating warnings overnight as the flood was developing.
After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.

We’re not doing this. There were flash flood watches and warnings. It may have been during the night, but the weather service is doing heroic work under terrible staffing and funding conditions.
Texas officials are shifting blame because they were asked directly why they didn’t order evacuation.

Being pregnant tired is “I WAS going to go to bed on time but then my dad called and tried to explain to me how to upgrade to an operating system I already and I still had to answer calls overnight, all while having Braxton Hicks contractions.”

NYC friends: this poor dog was almost on his freedom ride out of the pound when his foster didn't show up on him. He's now in danger of being put down. Do you have space in your home and heart to adopt him? ❤️
Also, lots of animals at this NYC shelter who need a home.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Are you really allowed to execute people in a local jail?
From this point on, no talking.

Hear me out:
ICE being in LA is what caused the protests
If ICE didn’t kidnap random people from Home Depots, then none of this would’ve happened. 🤷🏻♂️
