Death toll from Texas floods reaches 81, including 27 children.

Ted Cruz will go on vacation.

The #GOP is trying to blame NOAA, the NWS and of course Joe Biden for this disaster caused by decades of neglect by #Texas #Republican Party government officials failing to install warning sirens, ensure properly demarcated flood zone areas, and now #Trump #RNC defunding and laying off forecasters and technical personnel that could have provided earlier warning.

Horrific.

"Heinrich Himmler came up with what he thought was a neat way to deal with political dissidents: “Night and Fog.”

Nacht und Nebel was designed to instill such terror among the occupied population that it would cause people who might otherwise protest the Nazis violations of law and human rights to self-censor and remain quiet."

#republican #GOP America, where citizens are roughed up and arrested for tping ICE thuggery.

In practice, since 2016, third party campaigns have been a #Republican tactic to split the antifascist vote and elect Trump. See: Jill #Stein.

There's been TALK about a new right wing third party, or a "moderate Republican" third party, but the reality is the same as with a left third party: splitting the right wing vote would tend to help Democrats win big.

I would be surprised if they did that to themselves. But I won't interrupt them.

Amy Klobucher reveals her true self -
as a #Republican Warmonger -
in this photo with John McCain and Lindsey Graham. Ted Cruz was on the trip too, but did not want to pose on a bloodstained rug with a bunch of killers. (2019)
💰 💰 Why the #Ukraine war exists, and must last as long as possible.
This is a "bi-partisan effort" 🙄
yes - of self-enrichment by warmongering, as Amy said - "it's much more covert now" cnn.com/2019/06/18/politics/ga #Republicans

interesting anectdata: of the 7 #fabrics stores i usually peruse for deals, only 3 are offering #July4th sales and all but one have raised the threshold for getting free delivery. ALL OF THEM HAVE RAISED PRICES. none is affiliated with Wonky Luthor’s website.

in other words? #MAGAnomics is fucking the very petit burgeois (aka small business owners, some singlenaires) that traditionally vote #Republican #GOP and went hard for #Trump.
