If this had happened on Biden's watch

[4bonhoffer]

If the tragedy in Texas had happened on Biden’s watch, the HOUSE hearings would have started today! This would have made Bengazi look like child’s play. The Republicans and Fox News would be on this like a dog with a bone.
The gutting of our national weather service, the gutting of all security agencies to protect us from terrorism etc.
It’s time for the Democratic Party to start pounding the table on these issues. Political theater can be very effective, but only if you use it.

1. 100 percent true

And the servile GOP corporate media (Fox, NYT, WaPo, CNN, Politico etc.) would be beating that drum hard.

[malaise]

2. He actually tried to blame Biden yesterday

😀

[B.See]

6. ... wasn't joking when I said they would.

a buncha sick bstrds.

[malaise]

9. So true

Sick

3. YES! And you addressed our party's weakness: not fighting hard enough!

Fighting hard enables Republicans to take a nothing lie and turn it into a big something in the minds of the public, while our party fights like wimps and takes a big, real something and turns it into a forgotten nothing!

18. Republicans are "fighting hard" by lying? Democrats are "not fighting hard enough" -- does that mean they're not lying

and they should be because that's "fighting"? When did Democrats take a "a big, real something" and turn it into nothing?

What does "fighting" mean?

[tableturner]

20. It means they are not fighting hard enough with the truth!

Fighting hard does not necessarily mean the fight is based on lies. That's what Republicans do. Democrats have the truth on their side, so they need to push the truth, but with more ferocity, more repetition, and more volume, in other words "with more fight".

Democrats turn a real something into a nothing by not making their honest arguments with "more ferocity, more repetition, and more volume" than they now do (as noted in the prior paragraph). That's true over a range of issues we lose in the public square because of our relatively weak messaging.

4. I'm surprised the House hasn't already started hearings

blaming Joe Biden.

[W_HAMILTON]

5. Democrats have already done what you recommend they do. If you didn't know about it...

...time for you and everyone else to start pounding the table on the rightwing bias of our corporate media that amplifies Republican propaganda while tamping down Democratic truth.

Democrats Are Calling For Probe Into National Weather Service After Deadly Floods In Texas

Some Democratic leaders are calling for an investigation into the National Weather Service to determine if the reported staffing shortages affected the forecast and response to the holiday weekend’s flash floods.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) wrote a letter Monday to the Department of Commerce’s acting inspector general asking him to investigate whether staffing shortages at San Antonio’s National Weather Service office led to any “delays, gaps, or diminished accuracy” when forecasting Central Texas’ deadly floods over the holiday weekend.

“Following the disastrous and deeply devastating flash flooding in Texas this weekend, I write to urge you to immediately to open an investigation into the scope, breadth, and ramifications of whether staffing shortages at key local National Weather Service (NWS) stations contributed to the catastrophic loss of life and property during the deadly flooding,” Schumer wrote in the letter.

In the letter, Schume cited a New York Times article that reported positions at the San Antonio and San Angelo National Weather Service offices were vacant because President Donald Trump’s administration encouraged retirements and put a freeze on hiring.

“The roles left unfilled are not marginal, they’re critical,” Schumer wrote. “These are the experts responsible for modeling storm impacts, monitoring rising water levels, issuing flood warnings, and coordinating directly with local emergency managers about when to warn the public and issue evacuation orders. To put it plainly: they help save lives.”

11. So Democrats are only news in the UK?

🤦

[W_HAMILTON]

15. After all the blatant rightwing media bias that has been fully exposed here in the U.S....

...in the lead-up to last year's elections and ever since, yes, sadly, international news media is probably our best bet at this point.

7. It's OK If You're A Republican IOIYAR

I don't know how many videos and articles there are showing a republican condemning a thing and then later excusing it. I think it's reached the point of ubiquity.

[SoFlaBro]

8. Orange Bastard & his shitty pack of MAGA fuckwads are to blame for all of this fuck shit. Piss on those fucking turds.

[Gimpyknee]

10. This will have absolutely no effect on Trump supporters.

They won’t listen to “fake” network news. They’re not going to hear this on Faux News.

[AllaN01Bear]

12. and mr. obama as well.whoa nellly.

[calimary]

13. Idea: Make a list of all actual AND imagined Biden criticisms.

Then change the name “Biden” to “Trump”. That will turn most if not all of the real AND imagined items on the list into trump “attributes”.

[SocialDemocrat61]

14. Jake Trapper would be slamming

Biden 24/7 for weeks

[JI7]

16. I saw people bring up in different places online

and his cult is just shocked and outraged at people bringing politics into this.

So It's another case of " thoughts and prayers" and then go on with your life for them.

[Tribetime]

19. If any of the hundred things that would have happened

Fox news and c n n would go crazy on the democrats... Imagine obama doing ice raids... The double standards of republicans is ridiculous
