Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

You sound like a preacher who says that natural disasters hit us because of homosexuality.
Good people help communities, no matter who they are. Good people don't cheer or act smug when had things happen to a community. There are dozens of young girls missing after their summer camp got swept away. It is very possible most, of not all of their parents were trump supporters... none of the children voted for trump. This isn't a point for your team, these are lives destroyed.
Yes, if this happened in California term trump would make it clear he doesn't care, and his supporters wouldn't flinch. But those are despicable people, pity them and show them how we should respond to tragedy.
Texas Trumpers/Republicans strongly voted for a president & governor they knew would:
Homosexuals:
That person: the Trump voters involved got what they voted for, I feel sorry for everyone else.
You: you sound like those preachers that say gays cause earthquakes.
What a terrible analogy. People are allowed to vent frustrations, especially when 'taking the high road' has proven to be completely ineffective in changing the opinions of conservatives, and especially ineffective against fascists.
Feel sorry for the victims and their families no matter who they are. However, do not pity any of them if they come out and blame anyone who isn’t part of the Trump administration or Republican Party because they stripped a vital service of resources that could have potentially saved some of these lives.
They don't sound like that at all. The Trump admin has been dismantling and defunding NOAA and FEMA. FAFO.
Is the Trump admin a good community you are so desperately preaching about?
No, and I never said that good people help good communities. Good people help communities in need.
If this flood hit Mar a Lago and destroyed everything in it's path and only killed people who are a part of the administration then I would be cheering. The people directly causing the issue would be the ones getting the consequences. However, that's not what would happen because there are housekeeping staff there who just need a job, there are families who are on vacation there (some likely reluctantly dragged there by a maga spouse or parent). And so, if there's even a chance that a single innocent person is in need, then every effort should be made to help.
Innocent people are in need and they do need help. So why are we cutting funding to NOAA and FEMA which do the things that you want? Blood is on the hands of Trump and everyone who voted for him.
