This is what happens when vital weather data is kept from forecasters and the weather service gets its funding shredded
No, warnings were sent out by forecasters. It was hours before officials passed the word along.
The officials who let people die are saying it's because funding was cut. Trump cut funding, so that's why they waited 4 hours before posting the warnings to Facebook? Ok.
Harumph. That was because something something Biden and "old technology", obvs.
Team Taco is only trying to make things more "efficient" and get rid of the (repeat after me, in a mindless drone), "waste, fraud, and abuse"! Team Taco is only trying to clean up the mess of the Biden administration who was letting this go on for far too long and was the worst President in history with the worst economy ever [1], yadda yadda. We should all be thanking Taco right now for his glorious plans for our future...
[1] Which Taco is going to keep repeating forever even if we could see the economic data ourselves under Biden. It's about repeating the big lie over and over and over. Sadly, many on the left help him in this...
