"They'll be rejoined soon with the loved ones they lost!?" I'm at a complete loss that a Lt. Governor would say such a thing to families dealing with inextricable loss. If someone had said that to me in 1987 when my mother was killed in a hotel fire, I would have exploded.
Really sick of this faith crap. It desecrates whatever is good about religion, which should be personal and internal. Buddhism doesn’t even have faith. It has a philosophy and observation.
Dan Patrick and these religious idiots need to be segregated from people with intelligence and common sense.
Btw, sorry for your loss ❤️🩹
People of low moral character and ZERO integrity will say ANYTHING because it’s ALL just hollow words. They don’t believe in anything!
This man is a dangerous death cult member. Anyone remember his pandemic response…? GFY should be the only thing anyone calling him on his personal cell should be saying. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The Uvalde death cult comforts the bereaved.😡
"We're all going to die" is now their operating principle.
He is part of a truly despicable trio in Texas. 🤢🤮
"Don't worry. You'll be dead soon, too." isn't the comforting message he thinks it is. I will say, though, it really does kinda give away the REAL GQP game plan, doesn't it.
Dan Patrick seems to admire HorsesMan death. He is either hoping to see him or be him. Professionally speaking, I would like him be hung out over the lake of fire. Just businessz!
Performative praying is not looked upon fondly.
Soon ? Wow that’s kinda weird to even say out loud
I miss Ann Richards 😔
Oh god yes!
"Suck it up, buttercup" - the MAGA mantra "I'm a victim!" - also a MAGA mantra
They'll be rejoined soon? Is he going to murder all the survivors?
Says an old white maga corrupt racist phony Christian - spare me Dan
Exactly! How offensive can he get?! 🤯🤬 I’m utterly appalled.
Well, he's not wrong. His & Abbott's policies will certainly kill a lot of people very quickly, so that they will indeed rejoin their loved ones very, very soon in whatever hereafter they like to imagine.
So maybe God can alert the cell phones since the government didnt? This was a huge failure on many levels that cant be fixed by praying!
Sirens will drown out the awful sounds of false piety.
"We're all gonna die" is now officially Republican policy.
What a load of shite, utter fuckiing bullshit.
No, you just help him along and make sure he gets to meet his lost loved ones. Right then. Right to his fucking face.
Holy crap. Is Patrick a preacher or Lt Governor of TX?
I have faith in my voodoo doll but thus far he's not dropped dead of sharp pain in his groin
My response to people like this is always, "You first. If you're so eager for everyone to die, you first."
As someone who has lost a son, statements like this infuriate me. How can someone be so absolutely cold and ignorant.
I’m so very sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
faith is literally what caused this. faith in a godless rapist nazi with zero redeeming qualities. above their own god, no less.
Is he threatening to kill them too?
YOUR state govt. and the county govt and the federal govt. ALL failed the citizenry.NO AMOUNT of “faith” will repair or make better the losses suffered in lives and property because of YOUR failures.
Prayer is all he’s got. He is morally bankrupt.
He knows he can say it because he has enough security that no one would be able to punch his lights out over it.
He's SUCH a good Christian.
Go fuck yourself, you cowardly bastard!
Patrick is a prick
TX was given federal funds previously for a warning system. Instead, they took the money and gave their cops a 10% raise. Hope it was worth it. Now cough up the money yourself.
What an idiot.
Is Dan Patrick saying that he's working harder on killing off the people of Texas?
What is wrong with these people? Do they really think like this?
Well, here's Kerr County residents rejecting Biden Admin warning system funds because: 👹 "The devil is in The Whitehouse" 💉 "Next he'll send lawyers to make us get the shot" 🙉 "If something sounds too good to be true, it is" www.reddit.com/r/texas/comm...
Heartless leaders are worse than well intentioned leaders who screw up
Sorry for your grievous loss, thanks for sharing your perspective
"Oh, have a little faith, y'all: the Rapture will git here any minute now. Anyone want some Kool-Aid while you're waiting?"
They charge for it now.
will he rejoin hos soon to be ex in hell ?
Never thought I’d see the day when American leaders would call for joy over dying for Dear Leader and Americans going, “ya that sounds right.” #America has fallen.
They truly don’t care how many people will die under their leadership!
Me too, although I would bet my house the people in Kerrville, even those who lost kids and loved ones, will not have a problem with it. It's very weird, and I don't understand people like that (nor do I want to).
This is 🐂 💩
Oh my god. What every person who has lost someone says. Not to say to them !!
Repubs. don't actually want to fix any problems, but they are first in line after the disaster proclaiming their christianity and their faith and offering lip-service 'thoughts and prayers'
Because Christofascism is a grift not a spiritual movement. It’s MAGAt’s personal enrichment scheme not a social service agency.
He is the horrible, horrible man that said during covid that senior citizens should be willing to die in order to help the economy. Of course he excluded himself from that fate.
Ok, got it. Let's deflect to faith and religion when being challenged on policies and failed emergency response. Anyone that would attack Christian religion must be evil, so argument over. What an a-hole. Hope he joins his deceased loved ones very, very soon
This bastard is a hypocrite and monster!
💔💔💔
He's saying Texas will kill the remaining living in short time.
The same God who let the tragedy happen? That guy?
Dan Patrick, joining in with the “Everyone Dies” mantra. Only, under Republicans, you die sooner.
Aside from the lack of empathy displayed, the arrogance of these fuckers is appalling!
Nor the power to say anything about it for the last 15 centuries.
Amen, Peter Fonda Jesus.
If he’s god he literally is responsible for all of it.
And so is his "father."
May he join them.
So sick of hearing thoughts and prayers. Yes, I have faith but let's talk about fixing things so it doesn't happen again? Damn, why is this so hard to understand?!?!?!
I object to that picture of Trump arriving in TX to view destruction and giving his fist up for what? Victory, power, success? What a heartless POS.
Sometimes I daydream about him falling headfirst down those airplane stairs, his head landing on the concrete tarmac…
Such bullshit
Does he mean that the young victims will soon join the grandparents that Patrick said should have been willing to die during Covid to keep the economy going? I sense a theme . . .
I didn’t hear “soon”; I heard “they will be rejoined with their loved ones, in heaven”
I would have killed the little dick.
That kind of "Rhetoric" is what makes people take all the shit thrown at them lying down. Believing that others will do what is best for you when they only care about themselves. "Ill get mine now while you wait for your in the Afterlife". Nope.
They say this shit that works for them only. It’s bullshit. Who is rationally comforted by this? It’s a tired old tape. 8-track tape.
If I was any of these families, who I am so sorry for their losses,I would never want this ghoul at my loved ones funeral.
This sanctimonious pinhead can always be relied upon to use a tragedy to spout his hollow religiosity.
They can say this because they are in the process of killing most of us!
This is the same guy who during Covid, said old people should be willing to die to make room for the young. What did you expect?
He’s a dolt.
Grifters always know the right thing to say.
What utter stupidity. We have to have faith? It is his personal belief and not a proven fact that we will ever be reunited with a loved one. This stupidity can excuse any death. If someone is murdered, they will be reunited with their loved ones so it would be ok? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
These people are demented and actually love death and despair because they yearn for the rapture. Nothing will convince me otherwise and it was a huge mistake to allow them to have power over us all.
He is preaching to the flock of ignorant.
But all of that should have already been done. Texas has a billionaire dollar slush fund, KNOW this area is deadly in floods, but refused to install any alarm systems. And now, you are supposed to be grateful that they are “going to” now? Really? Wait until they actually do it.
The Texas legislature won't do anything to fix the early warning system. They never do anything to fix real life and death problems but they are really vigilant about making sure many nonexistent problems are addressed like voter fraud.
Faith killed over 200
The solitary reason they use religion as much as they do, while the financial backing is enticing, they use it as a shield for every answer to a question about accountability. "Thoughts & prayers", "faith will get us through". Bullshit like that. If you attack them, it appears you attack faith.
Certain religions seem to change people's ability to be empathetic. Isn't that a sign of a failed religion?
the arrogance
Right???!
They'll be rejoined with some paper towels that Trump will toss at them.
When your kid dies no matter how it happens the last thing you want to hear is they are in a better place because the only place you want them to be is WITH YOU. Every time someone told me that it took everything I had not to punch them in the face.
Same. They never know what to say-Why can’t they just say THAT? Instead of all the stupid hallmarkish fake empathy bs….
By all means, you do you Dan, as that is what this country is based on. Unfortunately your "faith" will not save anyone/stop natural disasters. Local and national governments willing and able to apply appropriate oversight is what saves lives and your faith seems to be getting in the way of that.
White Christian Nationalist bullshit
It is bewildering that the God that created the storm and flood that killed all those people is the same God they turn to for peace and comfort.
Yet another stellar product of Texas.
He has no connection to God except for his grifting.
Hundreds of millions of people are allowing it. It's obviously not important enough to them.
You would've exploded and pretty sure so would the head of whoever said shortly after
One of the ways the Republican cult ducks accountability for their awfulness is to invoke their “faith” as they pretend to be Christians.
And all the real ones just vote to put the Nazis in power. Again. And again.
Those Corrupt / Fake "christian" religious lunacunts are REFUSING to provide the aide (FEMA). Apart from Reallocating their fundings & sabotaging them; They're proposing: "Just accept the losses & that we won't help, but pray to feel better. Don't forget to pray as you die helplessly." Death cult
Faith requires grace. He, and the rest of them, lack that.
Agreed on all counts. But… “inextricable loss”? Maybe “inexplicable”? Electing Republicans is inexplicable; getting rid of them seems inextricable.
“You first, motherfucker”
Sadly, people with his theology see it that way. They focus on the afterlife and devalue things happening now. It's arrogant of him to act as if everyone shares his worldview.
And if Dan Patrick thinks his actions on Earth will get him into Heaven, he's got another thing coming...
Pretty much all the fundamentalists are squarely focused on the soul and the afterlife. Thoughts and prayers at the top of the pile absolves them of taking any action whatsoever and they can claim their prayers worked because there were survivors, or that it didn’t happen nearby.
I mean your faith meant jack shit when your mythical god ,according to your beliefs would have sent the flood in the first place….
He's an idiot. Unfortunately, just like the rest of our so called leaders in Texas. I used to love my state, now I'm just embarrassed
If I was a praying person, which I am not, I would pray daily for Mr Patrick to be soon(today maybe) reunited with his loving parents and grandparents.
Faith that nothing will be done to prevent this from happening again?
I raised my kids that it would be the Christians that would "get them" if they didn't watch out.
Faith does not and did not save any lives. Republicans like to lean in on Faith but they haven't lost their loved ones or their children. This tragedy could have been avoided or at least lives could have been saved. Republicans will never take any responsibility for their failures.
Faith is what brought you to this point. THE PEOPLE NEED THEIR GOVERNMENT TO WORK FOR THEM.
Corrupt negligence isn't an act of God, Dan....
This is the same nut who said old people would happily allow covid to kill them to help the economy. He’s a ghoul.
Kerrville City Manager, Dalton Rice and Lt Gov Dan Patrick spoke to one another on the telephone at 4am - which discussed the lack of rainfall observed by Dalton Rice 3 hours after the NWS announced a flood warning. Blame these 2 www.npr.org/2025/07/05/n...
I was told that at age 13, my brother was better off after he died in a car accident at age 16. The person saying them did not expect the reaction that I gave them. I was very angry.
So why are they against abortion? That’s a straight ticket to heaven? No mucking around with sinning humans?
The TX constituency repeatedly 🗳️ for the superfecta (that’s 1 above a trifecta). Clearly, the TX constituency love and treasure their politicians. Perhaps you’re not Texan?
This is the guy who asserted that old folks were happy to sacrifice themselves to end COVID restrictions. He does not seem to have a great read on being a human being.
Just another gop prick with no feelings!
What a fu#k wad !
Did God make him a closet gay for a reason???
It's a death cult. What else explains cutting off food, vaccines, health care, and disaster response?
Nothing fails like prayer.
I was done with "christians" after being told "It's what god wanted" when I was burying my son.
Remember when this clown was urging grandparents to die during the Covid pandemic?
Why, the Republicans want us all dead.
Trump used faith to get through being shot 🤣
Dan Patrick has been the biggest shitbag in Texas politics for a long time
this ghoul wants to rejoined soon .... in essence he wants the family members to die
These self-righteous holier-than-thou false Christians are the worst kind of evil people that ever existed…💀
Wha simpleton this guy is! Prayers may help some folks yet taking responsibility for this horrible situation is what is needed. When someone, especially a child dies due to someone’s neglect, your prayer won’t help them. It may help you but not that grieving soul. He’s heartless
As long as the praying doesn’t prevent the LT Gov from doing something concrete to help.
Faith? It was an omnipotent, omniscient god’s plan to send a flood to kill all those folks. Have faith that he’ll do it again, sinners.
All these bastards aspire to be preachers.
That’s so stupid
In its more authoritarian forms, religion punishes questioning and rewards gullibility. Faith is not a function of stupidity, but a frequent cause of it! Mark Twain:“Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool!” The hypocrisy of the trump cult is when they only worship one thing👇
It’s a shameful story of GOP incompetence and neglect mixed with second thoughts and hypocritical prayers.
Did Joni Ernst tell him to say that?
Soulless.
Oh I see, we're taking the Joni Ernst "we're all gonna die" playbook to heart, are we? Heaven isn't fucking real. The place my dad is buried isn't him. I'll see him when I die? Fuck this guy.
Faith will get them out, lol. Couldn't their faith KEEP them out of danger? These fucking mental retards believe their religion can save them from shit that happened without stopping to ask why their religion let that shit happen in the first place. Your beliefs are a cancer on the human mind.
Nothing Patrick says surprises me...unless it's true or kind.
They want you to believe in nothing, so they don't have to do anything. It's the providence of an all-powerful god so therefore nothing "we" do can mitigate such disaster. Keep giving us all the money-you don't need alarms or NOAA-it's in a god's hands-not our hands... Pitiful USA, pitiful on you...
No one is quick enough to blame Jesus… this is all his fault… tax the churches!!!
During this session, HB13 and SB2512 never made it out of the Senate REPUBLICAN controlled finance committee. The bill would have developed a statewide plan for ensuring first responders can communicate during emergencies, with grants for local governments.
What a total waste of oxygen.
failed politician or failed pervert priest, can't tell
Dan Patrick is a horrible person and of course my home Texas has elevated him beyond his ethics or competence. Sometimes I hate this place
Such bullshit.
I think he means the Texas government will kill anyone who complains about warning systems.
We could’ve done more to keep them here but if you just wait a bit you will see them in HIS kingdom. Just accept it was HIS will and move on. 🤦♂️. Country is ran by f’n crazy people.
