In 2021, Biden admin awarded Kerr County TX $10m in American Rescue Plan Act funds, which could have been used for flood prevention infrastructure. But commissioners, facing political pressure from conservative residents, opted not to pursue warning system. www.texastribune.org/2025/07/10/t...
And NOW THIS
Cult! Would rather sacrifice their own children and say they were “raptured” rather than use the $$$ for the purpose of saving them. Evil people pocketed the $$$ for self enrichment. Wake up America!
Kerr County is very red. They did not want to take Biden’s money because he was a Democrat. So the little girls paid with their lives for their parents’ hatred.
Many people have died because they listened to stupid conspiracies! So sad!
Hard to understand this kind of thinking, no? And what a shame that because of it, so many young and innocent lives were lost.
You can't fix stupid.
When they hear ARPA they think DARPA..and weather modification.
So their unhinged delusional conspiracy theories literally killed Texans.
What happened in Texas was highly avoidable if not for the actions of the republicans in Texas. THIS IS 💯 ON THEM. DONT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH SPINNING THIS!!!!
The residents Who objected to saving lives
Because prevention safety common sense And having so many people die Unnecessarily
Didn't align w/their Mega MAGA mini minds And conspiracy theories
Fervently hope that their names will be revealed PUBLICLY
So the victims' families can haunt them
I would like to die a preventable watery death because of communism, a local wrote
Well done Texas. You sure showed them.
Wow! Just wow!
Texas is a reactive not proactive state by Republican design.
Whether it’s freezing, flooding, or mass shootings.
They won’t EVER blame Republican’s like Abbot, Cruz, Cornyn, or Trump.
In fact they will probably elect Ken Paxton Who is one of the biggest shit bags on Trump’s JV team.
THE 3 C's: CONGRESS - 25 Amendment/Impeach, Legislate, Plan, Action COURTS - Lawsuits, Injunctions, Adjudicate CIVIL ACTION - Protest, Boycott, Organize, Advocate, Vote
INDICT CONSTITUTION VIOLATORS! PRIMARY ALL of Congress trump COMPLICIT! BOYCOTT ALL trump allies! IMPRISON ice CRIMINAL AGENTS!
Thoughts and prayers. They screwed themselves.
I guess they got what they wanted. Sadly the ones who demanded this were probably a loud minority and the rest are suffering the consequences.
A study by Phoenix Marketing International cited by the Kerrville Daily Times placed Kerrville second in Texas for the percentage of millionaire households
All of the MAGA crazy talk is here:
Well, apparently the people of Texas would rather shoot themselves in the foot than solve a problem to save lives...whether it's weather-related disasters or gun violence. Must own the libs or die trying.
For Christ Sake, they didn’t pursue an early warning system because of “woke” is that what you’re telling me ? Pay attention #Florida, can only imagine what idiots have done in this state ?
42% rejection is 58% approval.
Texas should at least thank the Mexicans for their quick action to help! BUT Texans elect Cruz and Paxton they must have the greatest "rigged Election system" ever! If Texan Repubs know anything it is "how to rig an Election" to vote Repubs and really hurt "Ordinary Americans"!
The federal response to flood ravaged counties came very late! in fact the Mexican fire fighters got there to help even before the Americans! BUT Trump still said Kristi Noem did a "great job"! Trump continues to lie hoping people will believe him if he says it enough! "True student of Goebbels"!
Republicans know to how to stir up hate, but they don’t know how to govern.
The county commissioners’ decision was made in the face of clear data, clear need, and a clear mandate from their own constituents to protect the community. But conservative activists, conspiracy theorists, and “small government” pressured them to refuse what they labeled as government overreach.
Come on real press, CBS, NBC,ABC, report this! Ask the county commissioner’s & residence about this & why now, they want federal money? Republicans!
So, the powers that be chose to cut their nose off to spite their face, and now wonder why people died? WHAT a pack of idiots.
Another who drank the Kool aid
The lesson learned is to let FEMA dwindle turn money over to local officials who are closer to the problem and have more to hide. A nice walking trail will distract from real problems.
Please talk about this on cable news shows, social media!
Someone told me, even if their family died , they will still vote Republican. Unbelievable. Republican Governors turn down food assistance that aims to reduce child hunger. How cruel can you get😡🤬They want Biden to look bad. And make Trump happy🤬🤬🤬
Talk about being Stupid The flooding Kerr County should not of Happened if they had fix it after Bidengave them the Money 💰 to Fix it. All those people should not have Drowned those little Girls should not have Died
F-around and flood out?
I wish they could hunt those people down and see how they are savoring their victory.
@maddow.msnbc.com Did TX return the money? Or divided it among themselves? TX has a lot to account for.
...then people died, including children!
The Texas flooding is tragic. It is heartbreaking. The Texas flooding was also largely the result of Maga Republican policies and actions. The Texas flooding is political. Maga Republican parties cause deaths, tragedies, and human suffering.
Brilliant 🙄
📌 Deprogram Dad
To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
A whirlpool of descent to the lowest level of humanity.
Um... President Obama also created a plan to deal with a possible pandemic before he left office, but what did the 🍊 💩 do with that in 2016? He threw it out the window. How did that work out?
Just extraordinary. Anyone refusing aid, because it's been politicized, or for ANY other reason, is incredibly eye opening. The degree of hatred that is required for twisted rhetoric to get people to invite their own suffering, is unfathomable to most human beings. This is the black magic of Trump.
Why do people not get that ALL of the money the federal government has is THE PEOPLE’S MONEY!?! They are meant to distribute it or spend it on behalf of the people, regardless of the state, regardless of their political affiliation. THIS IS WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS FOR!
Right wing Texans are not the most forward thinking people.
Well, there you go.
Did they send the money back or did they spend it on yachts?
makes you wonder where the money came for to pay for the bus transportation for immigrants abbott sent to NY
A great philosopher once said, "You can't fix stupid!"
“I don’t see how any man could sink so low. Must be Texans”—Robert Duvall’s character Al Sieber in “Geronimo: An American Legend,” commenting on a cruel mass scalping.
I think we’re doomed.
A warning system.
Not an overly aggressive declaration of flood plains. No strict zoning/districting.
Texas sure showed the nation.
Republicans are nothing but a death cult.
Political theatre cost a whole lot of people their lives.
after reading shit like this repeatedly, I can't help wondering what is wrong with the water down there. something makes them think like this.
Totally awful!!!!
Well you got what you wanted. Happy now?
If I lost a loved one in this tragedy, I would sue Texas, the county and anyone who stood up and spouted this claptrap. Then the reward money would be spent on building a warning system for a FLOOD ZONE!! Gahhhhh….
Makes me ill. Those who "didn’t want to be bought" can probably sleep like babies.
Kerr County opted not to address the flood risks in the Guadalupe Basin, but they are fine with federal funds to clean up the mess they could have avoided!
Hah, humans spending millions and still no warning system? Sounds like a perfect chance for Canadian critters to step up! Maybe while they bicker, we prepare our own alert system—like a bunch of raccoons banging pots! Chaos for them, opportunity for us!
You didn't want money from the Biden administration. Let's see if Trump will give you any money 🤔 May those innocent young souls that had no say in your decision may they rest in peace.
Well, they sure showed Biden.
So this community victimized themselves??
Well then, hope you enjoy the stench of your friends and loved ones as they decompose Kerr County commissioners. Folks who elected people so criminally stupid-please elect better people next time since, as you've seen, your lives depend upon it.
But, they obviously had no problem accepting SHSP funding for their law enforcement agencies.
This 42% of the residents endangered their county. Hard for me to feel sympathy for their stupidity.
What’s wrong with the world today…Is this how people are really feeling 😞?
I wonder how those people feel now? Do they feel any sense of remorse for their actions that may have well resulted in the deaths of hundreds just because they have hate in their hearts?
from a distance ... we have a saying : If stupidity would grow high, Kerr County could drink from all of its gutters.
Unfortunately we can’t ask the dead what they think. The ability of self serving bullshit political dogma to overcome common sense & humanity is stunning. We know so-called liberals & conservatives didn’t self-sort. Your community informs your attitudes. Moral, get out of bumfu*ck once in awhile.
💙🐈🐈⬛💙
They did not want to accept the money because it came from a liberal president. It is sad the political partisanship has polluted people’s minds. Poor conservatives will support a despotic government at the expense of their own health and safety
On this planet, if you mouth off like this and people die, there are consequences. Is Texas on this planet?
These people are child murderers. What happened is a direct and foreseeable consequence of their actions.
Typical RepubliQan response: Pro Life until you’re born; then no support for average Americans
You can lead a horse to…oh, never mind 🤦🏻♀️
Well, kind of hard to feel sorry for those county commissioners for what happened in the flood. It's too bad for their residents, though. Shit for brains....
A Texas county devastated by deadly flooding earlier this month rejected federal funds in 2021 that could have helped install a flood warning system, with local officials and residents arguing they didn't want to be "bought" by the Biden administration.
Politics played a pivotal role in Kerr County’s lack of a flood warning system—including local distrust of Biden-era handouts.
It's just so ignorant, but worse than that, it's absolutely irresponsible. The interests of the people do not even factor in for them.
How unfortunate for the flood victims. Paranoia/fear-mongering by the conservatives had a disastrous outcome for those camp children and all the others who lost their lives because they did not get timely warnings from the government agencies who could have helped prevent the sad story ending.

Why does TX opt to kill kids living there? See Uvalde...
It’s hard to learn the funding was available but the maga leaders rejected to improve flood abatement measures and a warning system in Kerr county.
You can’t fix stupid. And at some point you have to move on from feeling sorry for them.
“the most criminal treasonous communist government ever to hold the White House," Make me understand why you feel this way. Make me a list of individual things Biden did that were communist, treasonous or criminal. Show me you have a brain and can think this through. Please.
Dear God!
"We don't want to be bought by the federal government, thank you very much," another resident told commissioners. "We'd like the federal government to stay out of Kerr County and their money”. Is Kerr County rejecting FEMA funds and body bags? Turning them away like the MMR vaccine?
I will see which kills more people, arrogance or ignorance???
Remember the Gov. Abbott approved a policy to keep fur-babies out of schools. Apparently he thought children playing and dressing like animals was verboten!
That’s what you get in Texas. Another reason I moved away to Massachusetts!
Absolutely f'n unbelievable

Reap what you sow
Appalling. Texas, you are responsible.
Conservatism kills
Ok so did they give the money back so maybe other states, BLUE states, could use it??? I'm hearing they kept the $$$ but didn't pursue the warning system.
Thanks for pointing out culprits.
Refusing money established for rescue operations, like the recent one in Texas, answers the “evil” question “could more have been done in rescue efforts?”
So, T-Rump can pretend to be a hero. Far from it.
Quite the Boss move, amirite?
Stupid fuckers being stupid.
Nothing to see here.
But you took the dough? You gave a retired policeman $1 million? 😤
Climate Change is upon us and REAL- just to put the TX flood in perspective 👇👇
Another FAFO from the idiots of MAGA
Please identify that resident and seek out an interview. Not for us, but for them, they must be confronted with what FOX has made them.
Yeah, you really showed those Biden commies. Congrats, f*ckheads.
When my, admittedly more liberal, town sent out a survey about ARPA funds, we had a few cranks who wanted to send it back. But local government didn't listen to them. There are always people who show up at public meetings and are loud and wrong. Local officials need to do the right thing anyway!
Unbelievable! This tragedy could of been prevented if the conservative residents took politics out of their decision!
It’s murder!!!!!
I’d like to know just one of those criminal treasonous things the Biden admin supposedly did
I feel so SAD for people with so much taught hatred!!!
Grated, I am beginning to feel like one of them! But, I know my words are out of frustration because this bigoted admin has one over on us!! I feel like they took full advantage of our naivety that people could actually be this inhumane!!!
Is this a billboard in Kerr County yet?????
We need to work together as fellow human beings and not focus on people as members of a political party.
Well, I thought it was just the commissioners. I don’t know what to say. Sorry, girls who drowned, your elders are just too damn fanatical to care about your safety.
I guess they’re now in the FAFO phase of that decision. But do stand on your political principles at all costs…😢
My heart is broken for the children who died because of adult idiocy and political spite.
Saw the VIDEO of these Fox zombie gomers at that meeting. It's enough to make you puke, and that was BEFORE their successful pressure killed over 100 of their fellow Texans.
Failure on so many levels.
Their decision killed people.
Fuck around, drown.
So who are those commissioners and who is running against them.
Biden money was poison.
dear god.
It's TEXAS, so why do we think that the GOP and their voters would care about what happens to anyone?
This is incredibly sad! I would love to know if that resident feels the same way now! Maybe they don’t want any federal money for recovery, either. Can’t fix prideful stupidity!
Dying of Whiteness
Let's see, "the most criminal, treasonous government ever to hold the WH" . . . that's a spot-on assessment CONVICT#47 and the current CRIME MOB impersonating the executive branch — correct verdict beyond any imaginable doubt!
These scum should be tried for manslaughter
We live in a time where money and arrogance supersede human lives.
Kerr County got $10M in federal funds to prevent this flood.
They said no—because “big government” might upset the base.
Now homes are underwater. People are dead.
This wasn’t just negligence. It was a political choice.
#FloodFailure #GOPNegligence #DisasterPolitics #AmericanRescuePlan
Remember that in her book, Mary Trump said that if Donald can in any way profit from your death, he will do everything he can to bring it about and then forget you ever lived. This applies perfectly to the Texas Flood. The so-called profit is from rescinding FEMA grants for early warning systems.
If you boil it on down, it's hard to deny that these people will happily sacrifice the lives of their own constituents for the sake of owning the libs. Don't overthink it- Occam's razor tells all. They have constructed a bit of a circular firing squad unintentionally. Texas Elites want to deny 1/2
So the commissioners let themselves be bullied by the hyper loud minority. 42% is not 51%. Maybe they should have asked the Biden admin for a spine first.
I'd like to say the residents of Kerr County got what they deserved....except for the little girls that died. My heart is heavy for the little girls whose lives ended far, far too soon because some adults didn't want to accept money from "the Biden govt" to make their area safer. ☹️
Stupid is as stupid does. Wow, they really taught the libs. Excuse me. I have to attend the victory funerals.
I don’t know why, but it never ceases to amaze me when republican parts of the country refuse to help themselves .
How many of the people burying their children are in that group of fools ? I'd bet not many/any.
Hope those folks are happy with themselves
Is this not willful ignorance?
Those people are beyond hope. No wonder the USA is circling the drain.
They've got blood on their hands.
Did they accept the ARPA funds? Were there any strings attached?
You better not ask for help now. My reply is, NO on political grounds. Get used to watching your children drown and your property destroyed. Actions have consequences! These are your!
Stories like this are why I don't feel bad when bad things happen to them.
I hope these ghouls are haunted by their actions in 2021 for the rest of their lives.
Over 300 lives lost because of politics. Wonder how some of them may feel now that their child, or the child of someone they know, didn’t come home from camp? The blood of those lost is on their hands. This, all because of MAGA! How stupid, short-sighted and sad. 😢
“Stupid is as stupid does,” Forest Gump
And now, kids are dead...adults are dead...thoughts and prayers.
A terrible FAFO example. Good God.
The article misses the key mark- that those 42% of Kerr County residents did not want to accept the Biden money because he was evil and a communist. They still took the money and padded their pockets and grew the govt in the guise of law and order. Self serving good ol’ boy, back room deals.
President Biden tried so hard to be fair and help all people..even those who didn't vote for him.
The adults of Kerr county killed the children of Kerr county
I’m sure their children, at least the ones who are still alive, thank them for their foresight and intelligent thinking.😏
Not pursuing flood warning systems in a flood zone to own the Libs. You got us Kerr County, we are owned.
Checkmate, libs! 🙄
It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.
Hmmm…! Maybe the Kerr County commissioners like to kill young children in raging water in their nearby rivers rather than taking the $10 million dollars from the USA to put up alarms along their rivers????
Pathetic. That’s what hatred will do. Destroy people and things. This is so sad. Praying for those families!
I hope they all enjoy the funerals of little girls.
Okay, so let them drown. I don’t see what the problem is. Give people what they vote for.
How many of the morons drowned?
I’m not sure how or why I can continue to have any sympathy for these fucking people.
I wonder what they would say now
Oh. My. God.
To quote Julia Roberts, Big mistake, HUGE.
📌
What did they ultimately do with the money?
It’s always as if Republicans ef things up and then blame Democrats for letting them.
STOP VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS!
Too bad that the young daughters of Texas families didn't stay out of Kerr County, too.
This is a perfect example of prejudice and ignorance undermining the interests of people. They vote against their interests. They hate the wrong people. It’s shameful. Those people killed the children list in this flood.
It is amazing how total idiots people can be. For no reason.
They sure did “own those libs”.
Self-inflicted wounds. Same reason Trump is in the White House. Spite is a helluva mistress, ain’t she?
Let them drown already
Always knew they voted against their best interests, but OMFG!!!! They would rather die and have their granddaughters swept away in a flood!
This is another confirmation of how self righteous conservatives republicans maga are. They kill children.
Those stupid fucking assholes.
Thank you so much for posting this.
Can't trick MAGA
That’s insane. It makes some sense considering all the propaganda Fox spews but still it’s extremely hostile and self destructive. They sent the money back?!
How sad.
they got what they wanted and are to blame.
Cool. Thoughts and prayers to them /s
