Weren't you the one shitting on people with arts degrees?
You're a miserable basement dweller that won't prove your alleged gender, I want to see this 180 pound Asian woman who uses terms like "bra" and "broski", you so claim to be.
I have a cousin who has autism too, so I can understand the intense rage you go through each day. If you ever need help to find resources, my private messages are always open for you.
I hope you have more understanding and empathy when you visit Texas, instead of your snobbish and arrogant comments. Be kind. The education demographics are very similar to B.C., so your fantasy of them being dumb hicks isn't exactly true.
Cheers,
p.s. stop thirsting hard for me, bro

The reason why that county in texas did not have sirens is because they thought if they took federal money Biden could take there homes. If that's not stupid I don't know what is.

Me thinks you're self projecting with the autism there
Let's get this straight, you're one of two things.
1. An angry overweight woman who spends her days posting on a "sausage fest" of a forum with a bunch of dudes. Your Chinese parents must be very disappointed.
2. A weirdo troll that pretends he's a woman to get sympathy, brownie points, and/or attention online.
Either of which makes you sad, "bro".
You should put all five of those Canada Goose jackets you own and go for a jog outside or something.

"An examination of transcripts since 2016 from Kerr County’s governing body, the commissioners court, offers a peek into a small Texas county paralyzed by two competing interests: to make one of the country’s most dangerous region for flash flooding safer and to heed to near constant calls from constituents to reduce property taxes and government waste."
Refused money from the Federal Government to build a flood warning system because it came from Obama.
Initially refused money from Biden for the same reason, but then took it after Sen Cornyn pointed out that they could take it and sit on it and then it wouldn't go to "liberal" states to help them with natural disasters.
Finally realized they had to spend the Biden money and used it to give the Sheriff's Dept a bunch of shiny new toys and some fat bonuses. The $1 million used to give bonuses and raises to members of the Sheriff's department would have paid for the early warning system in full.
They also admitted that the camps were all vulnerable but said that they could all continue to just phone each other when a flood was coming as that had worked well in the past.
There's also plenty of blame to go around in the Texas State government too as they continue to sit on a $30 billion rainy day fund that they've partially amassed by taking money from urban area public schools through "Recapture".

Trump and his associates are cooked unless they release the list, but at this point, releasing it would only make things worse because everyone would scream cover-up. They've literally painted themselves into a corner.

Kaitlan Collins Reports Dan Bongino Is ‘Telling People He’s Considering Resigning’ Over Epstein Fiasco
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins confirmed that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is considering stepping down amid fallout over the handling of the so-called “Jeffrey Epstein Files.”
Hours earlier, Axios reported Friday that Bongino clashed with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Epstein case on Wednesday. The Justice Department recently concluded that Epstein — a convicted child sex trafficker — did not have a rumored “list” of associates. Additionally, the department confirmed that Epstein’s widely-discussed death in prison was indeed a suicide.
Following Wednesday’s altercation, Bongino took the day off from work on Friday. Collins first took to social media to confirm that Bongino’s considering resigning, adding that the “infighting” happening within the MAGA base over the Epstein case “has not let up.”
Minutes later, she joined CNN to discuss the report in greater detail:
It remains to be seen if he actually follows through with what he has told colleagues; but what we do know is that Dan Bongino has told people he is considering resigning as the deputy director of the FBI over the fallout that has continued ever since this memo was released last Sunday.
The anger inside the MAGA base has only continued to grow instead of going away — as some officials inside hoped it would — and now our colleagues, along with Kristen Holmes, Hannah Rabinowitz, and Evan Perez, we’re hearing that he’s considering resigning after they had this heated confrontation with the Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of this earlier this week.
Collins also said that Bongino’s Friday absence was “out of protest.”
Pick up a few unsuspecting migrants at Home Depot, post the footage on X and Fox News, and pretend you're waging a massive deportation campaign meanwhile, actual criminals are still roaming the streets.
It's all smoke and mirrors because grifters gonna grift.

A panicked Donald Trump phoned Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to slam the brakes on his coast-to-coast immigration raids after furious street protests erupted across the country, according to a new report.
The bombshell revelation from Reuters comes after White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller set an aggressive quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day in late May, following through on Trump's campaign promise to carry out what he called the "largest domestic deportation operation" in U.S. history.
But the massive crackdown quickly backfired, sparking nationwide protests in June that started in Los Angeles, where Trump dispatched 4,000 National Guard troops that he said were needed to quell demonstrations—over the fierce objections of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
As his poll numbers plummeted and political fallout mounted, Trump frantically called Noem to put a pause on his signature policy.
"He said: 'We're going to do this targeted,'" one former official who heard the mid-June call told Reuters, describing Trump's growing panic that indiscriminate arrests of farmhands and hotel maids were becoming a political nightmare.
The episode exposed a crack in the alliance between Trump and Miller, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement quietly freezing operations at farms, restaurants, and meat-packing plants within hours of Trump's desperate call, the report stated.
Senior ICE official Tatum King immediately told field offices to ease up on the raids, according to Reuters, but the stand-down lasted only days before Miller and Noem rescinded the order.
Trump's administration has doubled overall arrests, slapped travel bans on 19 countries, and earmarked a staggering $170 billion for immigration enforcement under the so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill" passed in July.
But the crackdown is now facing serious pushback from federal courts, which have moved to stop multiple attempted deportations.
A White House official told Reuters there was "no daylight between Miller and Trump."
The official also claimed that "the initial ICE directive pausing raids had not been authorized by top administration leaders."
No chance, Trump's core far right base won’t. They've built entire platforms pushing Epstein conspiracy content for years, guys like Jack Posobiec, Benny Johnson, and half of X live off this stuff. If it looks like Trump helped bury the list, that’s not getting swept under the rug. Especially not in an echo chamber like X where this narrative thrives.

No chance his followers will give a fuck. These people base their entire lives off of doubling down when they are proven wrong. The same people that want him held accountable for all the dumb and malicious shit he does will continue, and his moron fan base will support him to “stick it to the libs”
Reality and accountability means nothing to these people.

Industry Minister Melanie Joly says that “we are not in normal times” as the federal government vows to protect jobs after U.S. President Donald Trump‘s threat to impose a 35 per cent tariff on Aug. 1.
Joly said that threat comes as the U.S. is “becoming weaker,” while Canada sets up new trade deals with other partners like the European Union.
“We’re in solution mode and we’re trying to make sure that, ultimately. while the U.S. is becoming weaker, we will become stronger and we will diversify,” she told reporters.
“We’re not in normal times and economy diplomacy is more important than ever.”
That's right Canada. Keep diversifying our trade partnerships with other countries.
How can Cheeto get the US more tariff revenue if Canada gradually exports less to the U.S? TACO thinks he "has all the cards?"

Sure, not everyone in the base will care but most do. Just last year, the narrative on X and across right wing podcasts was that Biden was suppressing the list as part of a massive cover-up. Trump even talked about at rallies. Guys like Kash Patel and Dan Bongino built their entire brands on Epstein related conspiracies and anti-elite narratives. I would say this is the main reason why both were elevated in MAGA and seen as key voices.
And think about it, Trump used both as scapegoats to tell the base there’s nothing to see here, which is why Dan seems to know what’s really going on and wants to jump ship. MAGA thrives on total loyalty and turnout. When even a chunk of that base starts asking questions, it signals a real problem for a movement fuelled by distrust and conspiracy.

There’s nothing Canada can do because we’re going to be hit with blanket tariffs. If it’s not 35%, it’ll be another high number.
And Trump isn’t interested in making deals; he doesn’t care. Just today, they bragged that the Treasury posted a surprise surplus because of the tariffs, so for him it’s a win-win situation.

Our federal and provincial governments are working to remove internal trade barriers. Premiers like Eby are talking with business leaders in Asian countries like Japan and South Korea to strengthen business ties and increase exports of Canadian resources to those countries.
There is plenty that Canada can do to reduce our reliance on trading with the U.S.
Like I said before, where is the U.S. tariff revenue going to come from in the long term for the US government if countries like Canada and nations in the EU are going to reduce, hopefully in a substantial way, the amount of exports and trade with the Americans?
Pivoting away from a reliance on doing business with the U.S. is long overdue.
Although it will take time for Canada and other countries to diversify trade away from the U.S, I think that it will be done over time.
This is a good start in terms of more cooperation between Canada and the EU:
Canada and the EU will soon launch comprehensive negotiations across multiple areas to strengthen co-operation and connection – including trade and economic security, the digital transition, and the fight against climate change and environmental degradation. This will create more economic opportunities and long-term prosperity for workers, businesses, and citizens in both Canada and the EU.
Take that TACO haha.

The benefits from inter provincial, and trade agreements with other countries will benefit us long term. Short term, we’re hooped.
The US is still a massive market, and we still need them. Unfortunately for us, our economy is already trending toward a recession. Any sort of blanket tariff would be devastating, but at this point, I think we need to stop kidding ourselves and prepare for the worst case scenario.
Even if they miraculously 'recover' the list of Epstein and find Trump's name on it ... Trump's followers will turn the other eye. For MAGA followers, all moral compass change depending on if Trump is involved in the scandal or not.
I've given up on the hope that something will stick on Trump's past. Shifting goal post of morality.
