I can’t emphasize enough the odious genesis of “Remigration” … it should be a tremendous scandal that our POTUS has embraced this.

The Trump Administration Wants to Create an ‘Office of Remigration’​

“Remigration”—a far-right European plan to expel minorities and immigrants from Western nations—may soon have a dedicated office following a Trump administration reorganization of the State Department.

The Trump Administration Wants to Create an ‘Office of Remigration’ to Kick Immigrants Out of the Country

“… Earlier this month, the first ever Remigration Summit took place at a conference near Milan, featuring upwards of 400 attendees and a slate of far-right European lawmakers and speakers from Ireland, Portugal, France, the Netherlands, and Germany. It was met with a large protest march and major police presence.

Two Americans, Jacky Eubanks and Cyan Quinn, also spoke. Eubanks, who espouses Christian nationalist ideas, was a Trump-endorsed candidate in 2022 for the Michigan House of Representatives and was previously a Turning Point USA field representative. During her speech, Eubanks referenced how the “founding stock” of the US came from Europe, ignoring the existence of Native Americans.

“President Trump is keeping his promise to deport illegal aliens, and the American people are hugely supportive of his agenda,” Abigail Jackson, a White House spokesperson, tells WIRED in response to questions about the apparent similarities between the remigration agenda and the administration's immigration policies. “Your outlet should spend time covering all the dangerous criminal illegals the president is removing instead of attending and conflating random foreign conferences that have nothing to do with the president.” Miller did not respond to a request for comment.

…
Martin Sellner, the man most responsible for promoting the idea of remigration across the globe, claimed that Trump, since taking office, was already seeking to implement remigration in the US.

“Yes, [Trump] ticks many of the boxes,” Sellner, the Austrian activist and former member of a neo-Nazi group, tells WIRED when asked if he believes remigration is already in action in the US.

“There are differences between Europe and the USA, but the common line is the same: preserving the cultural continuity by stopping replacement migration. Reversing the flows with border security, mass repatriations, and incentives to leave.”…”

With the enormous tragedy, will it work to try to spin this as a success (the we saved 850 lives talking point seems to have been widely circulated)? I mean, I don’t think anyone feels “conflicted” about the horror of all those kids drowning …

I guess the fallback to “thoughts and prayers” wasn’t going to cut it when a children’s Christian summer camp (that hosts a lot of girls from wealthy and well-connected conservative families) is washed away by an Act of God. But it is still being tried:

 
“… Taking to the lectern behind thick bulletproof glass in Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday, Trump immediately started firing off political potshots. “They wouldn’t vote only because they hate Trump, but I hate them, too, you know?” Trump said, referring to Democrats who voted against his “Big Beautiful Bill,” which the House sent to the president’s desk after a tight vote. …”

That party will go nowhere, imo. Third parties have never gained much traction in America long-term at the national level - they've sometimes had some short-term success, like the Populists in the 1890s - but the Electoral College and gerrymandering make it nearly impossible for them to remain viable for long. Elon will likely blow a few million on a splashy rollout for his new party and then, like he does with most things, quickly lose interest and move on to something else once it's clear that the vast majority of Republicans are still loyal to Dear Leader.

I think Elon’s neurodivergence and drug-addled brain prevents him from understanding just how much everyone (I.e. significant majority) hates his guts.
 
Some of the deaths in Texas are attributable to Trump cuts in NOAA and NWS.

More deaths in Texas are attributable to that state’s desire to deregulate so damn much.

As others have noted, those rivers flooded like this in 1987; that’s in the living memories of a great many people. Houses and campgrounds and vacation camps shouldn’t be in flood plains.

It’s not just Texas. Across America, people build in flood prone areas - and, then act surprised when floods happen.

"We will not let America become a third world country filled with crime, failing schools, collapsing hospitals, and total social dysfunction."

Uhhhh...

Imagine the GQP narrative if this happened at an LGBTQ camp in a blue state rather than a Christian camp in Texas.
