And in another bizarre turn, pundit Charlie Kirk railed against sign language interpreters during emergency briefings, calling them a “distraction” and “over the top.”
Proof that there is always more barrel to scrape.

That small-faced fuck is definitely one of the people who deserves the second controller.
I hate that fuck ugly punchable cunt so much
Edit: wrong thread.
I responded to the wrong thread. Wrong ugly punchable cunt. I thought we were talking about Mel Gibson losing his home in the fire. Because they're both punchable cunts and Mel is not very pretty anymore.
No matter how low they already are, they always find new depths to sink to.
Kirk said that closed captioning was good enough. Live closed captioning is awful. Plus, you don't have to get a university degree to do closed captioning. You do to translate to ASL because it requires accuracy and that involves interpretation.
Plus, people in the room don't have the benefit of captions,.
"Why would they allow deaf people in the room? Isn't it enough that they can watch it on TV like normal people?"
I wonder if he's seen the emergency briefings in Houston where the County Judge follows up with the announcements in Spanish
I know this isn’t particularly novel or news to anyone here, but god, these people are so fucking stupid. Wind going 60-100 mph and they think a straight white man is going to put the fire out with his cock?? There’s video of one of the tanker planes trying to dump water on the fire and the wind is so strong it fucking floats there. What are you going to do against that?
Blame immigrants, duh. With their magical powers of being both useless and a grave threat, taking all the jobs and all the jobless benefits, a little water repelling/levitation/bending is nothing.
Do you have a link to that video of the tanker dropping water? I haven't come across that and am having trouble finding it.
The fire fighting plane is the Canadair CL-415 (Super Scooper) -- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadair_CL-415

Thanks for this. However,this isnt the scenario described where the water “floated“. I'm imagining that the wind was so fierce that the water was disappated so fast it didnt make it to the ground in a significant manner.
It sounds insane. I'll try to find it too.
This isn't it, but we can imagine that the wind was a factor for this total miss...
While I don’t use X or Facebook I did venture into the YouTube comments and what absolute pieces of shit lurk there ranting that this is gods punishment for Californias liberal sins etc
Don't hear much about that when Florida gets butt fucked by a hurricane, I wonder where they are hiding
Well their Internet goes out then so they can't comment.
Black and brown people live rent free in conservative heads.
That’s why rent goes up so much every year.
It is almost like they are Racists.
But they're the real God fearing, loving, turn the other cheek christians, don't you know?
Of course they would.
