Saw Greg Abbott giving a press conference regarding flood deaths. Reminded me of the response to the Uvalde school shooting. They just manage the news until the incident fades into yesterday. Elections have consequences. These poor people died from Trumpism.

Military parades are like souped-up trucks, complete with hanging bull testicals and the stars and bars. A Misuse of our service people.
