Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE's greed and reckless incompetence are directly responsible for the many preventable deaths from the catastrophic floods that have hit Central Texas.
I don't understand how someone, as intelligent as Elon Musk claims to be, did not understand the consequences of slashing personnel in much-needed departments and fields. Did they bother to inquire what each of those employees did? Did they take the time to understand how each organization or part of governmental services works? NO! It's obvious that none of this was done, because of the time constraints under which they covertly and off-handedly operated. THIS Administration/regime claims there was previous fraud and abuse and they willy-nilly just axed positions that they had no idea of their roles? THAT is fraud and abuse. Someone told me today that his son is working in a national park on a search and rescue team, and EVERYONE was cut from this team EXCEPT for him! You can't have one person go out on search and rescue for lost hikers, or even take local police or don't hike, know the parks, know how to handle wildlife, etc. THIS isn't just idiocracy; THIS is IDIOT-OCRACY! Our country is being run by un-useful idiots! This regime must be made to take the blame and the shame for the harm and deaths that result as a consequence of their careless, senseless actions.
Thats because Dutch Nepobaby isn't smart. When actual programmers had him in front of a computer he didn't know how to code C++ or Python at all. Like every other white supremist tech bros he bought his way into the tech world while stealing credit from people smarter than him.
They are doing this on purpose. Cruelty and death are the point. It will get worse unless we the people fight back. The courts and our elected representatives are useless. Wake the F up!! Stop paying your Federal taxes and arm yourselves. We need to protect our neighbors and get the death cult and this criminal regime out before more innocent people are murdered by the Trump the oligarchs and project 2025.
When I say I don't understand, I DO realize what they are doing, and I do see it. From a humankind response, I am trying to comprehend the depths of their depravity and how one grows up devoid of compassion. They are PURPOSELY inflicting pain and suffering, and they don't care or just plain love it! Their group is replete with sociopaths and psychopaths. As a sympathetic and empathetic human being, I am at a loss for fully grasping the scope of the depth of how hateful one can be and, from a psychological standby, what it took for them to become this way.
All you need to do is examine his childhood growing up under Apartheid rule and his father's involvement to understand the cruelty "devoid of compassion".
Yes, I do understand the psychology of it. Mary Trump often talks about the causes of her uncle's cruelty and bully tactics being family related. The great thing is that others raised under similar circumstances go the opposite direction and become truly caring people who stand against it. I grew up in a highly racist community but with a mother who raised us to evaluate people for who they were and not by skin color or what others said. As a result, I became outspoken against many of those "values" (for lack of a better word) that my neighborhood stood for, and my family reflects those new values and appreciation for others. :)
Thanks for the important coverage of not just views,but reality of what’s happening before our eyes.
Haris Tarin thank you for speaking up and out from experience as chief of staff to the head of FEMA during H Katrina and articulating the reality that FEMA has the equipment (helicopters,boats,etc) for disasters to collab in various states, when disasters -domestic or natural -occur. This is why FEMA org created!
If EM and DJT were women, you know what the "manosphere" (hell, probably the whole bloomin' biosphere) would be saying about their tiff: either they're on the rag or they desperately need to get laid. Given who they are, I'd say it's the latter. Maybe impotence is catching. I expect them to break out the giant wooden penises at the next PR session in the Oval Office. Hope we live long enough to see the end of these thugs.
Waj and I are on the same page again---I wrote a note to myself yesterday: Elon Musk is to blame for the Texas tragedy. This is his and Trump's doing. Will MAGA notice? Probably not.
We were warned when trump and his white nationalist agenda took over the government. trump broadcasted his intentions and mentioned blue states and Biden are to blame. We saw this coming, the problem is the Mega congress and old guard democrats who turned their heads and did very little, very little. What we have now, is that, we must join together and collectively push back and keep the heat on them by pressing them to explain the "WHY" and "HOW" and to remind them we vote and will be watching. I will also point to the corporate media who has bent the knee and have been whitewashing and gaslighting important information. Let's not forget the Nimbus NB 1.81 virus and measles outbreak that is going under reported. WAKE UP!
If the regime keeps cutting funding for disaster relief, so many people will die there will not be not enough voters will survive to stand against the oligarchy.
How can the chief in charge of FEMA say he didn’t know about hurricane season?
Even this Californian knows about hurricane seasons. (Earthquakes don’t have a season,
Out in the “Wild West”, earthquakes are more difficult to predict.)

Elon is a result of Apartheid.
Absolutely!
Thank you Waj, Haris and you together nailed it! We're grateful. Barbara Epperson, PhD

Thank you for Haris. I'm a 77-year-old white feminist---I believe Mamdani might be our only hope.
Me too at 80 yrs, old!!!

“Trickle-down “ economics was a lie 75 years ago— how can this lie be perpetrated for so many years?
If the regime keeps cutting funding for disaster relief, so many people will die there will not be not enough voters will survive to stand against the oligarchy.

Tax cuts for rich people leading to civilian deaths. And the t regime is just getting started.
Just wait for the hurricanes.
Interesting point of view. Here’s a counter https://trutha.substack.com/p/infrastructure-betrayal-part-1
Are you saying the democrats want a return to the gilded age?
Haris train is great on fema etc. Perhaps Anne applebaum on political change/trends in NYC?
Love your insight and guests. Thank you! Keep speaking out!
Thank you so much for saying this- tRump is directly responsible for these deaths and there will be more unfortunately.
