“I’m asking the people of Texas, do some serious praying,” Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said. “On-your-knees kind of praying that we find these young girls.”

This is what Texas governors do. Remember when it was Rick Perry performatively urging constituents to pray for rain during a wildfire in a drought?
Though Dan here is loony enough to probably believe it actually works.
And, also, how do people not connect that if your god holds the lives of these kids in a flood over your head for worship, isn't he kind of the bad guy?
God helps those who do more than kneel at their bedside all day.
Don't forget the others... like Rafael "Ted" Cruz - of Canada.
Too cold for you? Maybe Mary down the street wouldn't have fucking died alone in her house freezing do death, with no heat, no power, and cell towers were overloaded as well. She couldn't ambulate. She relied on those resources to live, and her neighbors for help. We all took care of her, as a community.
She couldn't ask for help. The resources were not available.
Went to fucking Cancun with your kids before being called on it.
Rafael, I doubt you'll see this, but Mary's blood is on your hands, as well as hundreds if not thousands more.
Sincerely, a former Texan.
Thoughts and prayers.
I'm still waiting for the Dog Butcher of Dakota to claim the DHS now believes radical migrants that Biden let in took the girls from the flood waters and trafficked them to South America, so they're calling off the search and launching military action against Panama to retake the Canal and save the little girls.
Or some equally bat shit fuckwadery.
258,000,000.
The Heritage Foundation counts on a lack of help in natural disasters to claim lives too.
Well it's a GREAT thing Republicans just DEFUNDED ANY and ALL Help the Federal Government could have Provided! By ELIMINATING the Ability to Help THESE YOUNG GIRLS we can be Sure to have Enough money for BOTH Billionaire Tax Breaks AND an Increase in our Debt!
Bro try not capitalizing every other grouping of words / caps locking phrases. You're not adding anything and you come off like a deranged boomer.
You'll get used to it, guys kind of a staple around here now
I believe it's sarcasm case, a way of showing the writer does not seriously believe what they are saying while avoiding the much-maligned /s tag.
