kerr county is very heavily maga. the moron got over 75% of the vote there
the county board has discussed a warning system along the river several times and was told their current system was worthless
in the words of the kerr county judge (the highest elected official in the county) this is the most dangerous river valley in the United States and we deal with floods on a regular basis. and yet when asked why they dont have a warning system on the river he said taxpayers wouldnt pay for it.
the maga morons would rather pass laws about who can use a bathroom than take steps to actually protect people.

(30,880 posts)Nope. They will actually believe Democrats did this, by trying to protect people with ridiculous science they don't want.
If there is any justice, no Texas GOP will ever have a good night's sleep again. They will mysteriously wake up screaming every night at 3 am. And everyone will know why.
