I have great respect for these volunteers in Texas.

Its hot, tiring, physically dangerous work. Its heartbreaking. And it could go on for days.

These are the helpers. They are all heroes.

Volunteers risk their lives, GOP congress can't lift a finger to help Americans.

That stormed the kids at McCarthy Park should have been in Texas rescuing and searching.. But I guess it’s way too hot to be rescuing and searching for bodies of children, with masks on and with war costumes.
And fuck Mikes Prayers. Do we think those Christian children were not praying for God to save them, their friends, their counselors as they watch them washed away. And parents that lost, will find out they lost kids and friends, have not been praying their asses off.
HE AIN’T LISTENING, not even to his most devout followers.
How many immigrants, most more Christian following than white GQP, are praying their asses off for help while locked up and abused.
FUCK THOUGHTS and PRAYERS Moses Mike. You’re being paid to work, not sit on your ass, smirk and pray.
Ask parents of gun victims how prayers work.
Texas, sending out fat men with big hats, over starched long sleeve “white” shirts, creased blue jeans, with a buckle the size of a coastal tourist’s Sea Food Platter at the most popular restaurant, standing behind a GQP Mayor, Cruz, (who just raced back from another Vacation), again, blaming dead kids on Dems and asking you to pray…………..Ain’t Working!!!!!
We saw this show after your last school slaughter.
Those elected assholes DO “PREY”, just ON the fools who put them there. And steal all the money that could be used to protect and to help the people.
Not just Texas. The whole damn country will face disaster after disaster. Earth is just GETTING WARMED up to get rid of the cancer on it.
SATAN is laughing at the prayers.
We have seen for so many years, children dying mean nothing to GQP and their tax free money. The cost of Freedom.
Like Mike says, all you can do is pray. Maybe we can shoot the damn hurricanes, tornadoes, fires and floods with unlimited guns.
Why bring a child into this world? Just to watch them suffer?
