I don't understand. God's hand saved hundreds, but it missed saving scores of others, including children. Why didn't God do a better job? And can't we just get Him/Her/They to stop extreme weather events caused by climate change?

The one thing these people excel at is gaslighting.
It's like the prosperity gospel. Those who died somehow deserved to die, and government has no role in preventing unnecessary death.
…until the Blame Game starts and then politics determines the next culprit of choice.
That's MTG's department.
The only thing to understand is evangelicals believe everything in life is the result of a supernatural struggle between good and evil forces, and humans are powerless bystanders/victims of that struggle. I grew up around these types and they'll vacate accountability for everything on these grounds
This is Christian fascist speak —we have no responsibility or control so therefore we don’t have to do anything to help you. They hide behind their helpless man version as it’s convenient for their greed and selfishness.
The ultimate brush off.
put him/her/they in charge of fema
Spinning it like a washing machine gone crazy....
God had zero to do with this. It’s what they use to appease the ones they’ve brainwashed in their right wing lunatic Christian right wing base
That’s the other God, the one that allows a pedo to run our Country.
Soon, they will find that the dead deserved to die. They were just not God's chosen ones. It's never about climate change or pennywise right wingers not wanting to buy a Warning System.
.. holy fucking wow... "We're meant to take care of one another" ... Did she just say that ?
Seriously. It’s like watching adults talk about how generous the Easter Bunny is.
Just my opinion, but Noem's actions are the true indicators of what she believes, not her words. thehill.com/opinion/camp...
Kristi Noem appears to suffer from "survivorship bias."
"Lady, I sent three boats."
The level at which I despise her is sort of scary.
Same.
Classic religious BS. They thank God for saving some but don't condemn him/her/they for failing others. And when they say it's all in under the control of God, they absolve themselves of all responsibility because God apparently picks winners and losers.
it's a shame when you lie so much that your lips swell up.
I read that the Pro-Life party is being told to minimize the deaths and focus on the ones who survived.
....were saved and no pups were shot in the face. When seeing her, her puppy description she gave "at the gravel pit" sadly comes to mind. Noem, you should Not go near Any tragedies. An awful excuse for a human being and yet, Drumph has bragged many times about appointing the "best people". 🤮
They shoulda prayed harder, clearly
Maybe the god is still a bit wrathful for the apple related incident among other incidents?
God liked us better before we had knowledge and Trump loves the poorly educated.
Scary how ignorant these animals are
This is bonkers. Those people were saved by OTHER PEOPLE, not God's "hand". These people are literally insane. Demented.
Yeah, someone said the same crap to me after 9/11. I said, so he let 3,000 people die a horrible death?
They don't really worship him. It's just a cover story.
She is disgusting
🧟🤮🧟🤮🧟🤮!!...
Like when ICE rips people off the streets that aren’t criminals?
Completely tone deaf.
If I was one of those girl’s parents I’d be SO PISSED. She’s a fuc*ing robot GHOUL!
Also ask these devout Christians why god keeps making LGBTQ if they are so bad.
And this is why religion is stupid
Oh that’s rich coming from from your artificially inflated lips Kristi! “God made us to serve and take care of each other”. 😱😱😱
The god that commanded the genocide of the Amalekites saved those random people
They are just so fucking stupid
"we are too stupid to understand God's plan" That's the only way religion can be rationalized.
Love Kristi ... Always looking on the bright side
That's the caveat to religion that makes it so difficult to argue against. It's "God's Plan" no matter how it turns out.
So God killed all those people, what a dick!
More bs!!
Narrator: God chuckled to himself as he stalled a massive rainstorm over the Texas hill country. "Just wait", he thought, "I'm gonna show those little fuckers who's boss..."
He's just a klutz.
ICE Queen has no idea about anything compassionate. She shoots puppies.
Yeah, god.. and please deliver us from evil..
Those kids were untrainable
So the people that died, God left in Kristie Noem's hands?
This woman is so fake
Defund god!
Astonishing that the people running the world believe (or pretend to believe?) in these fairy-tales.
I'm deeply spiritual yet suspect that this sham "god" they refer to for both cover and condemnation, must be amongst the minor demons, if at all. God of the week, vile, lying, and foolish.
And in this short clip, it sums up exactly what I do not understand about this god of theirs
God must be pretty choosy when it come to saving lives!
And God gave you a brain. Use it!
NOT ONLY IS SHE A VAIN, STUPID WOMAN, SHE OBVIOUSLY BELIEVES HER GOD APPROVES OF HER KIDNAPPING INNOCENT FOLKS OFF CITY STREETS AND SENDING THEM TO A HELL HOLE. HOW DARE YOU EVEN MENTION GOD
Obviously she doesn't believe in god, she uses religion to fool people who believe in fictional characters.
The dead children were probably all communist MS-13 members. Seriously, though, people who are this committed to delusions of higher powers shouldn’t be allowed to hold public office. She clearly lack a grasp of basic reality to have the requisite judgement and understanding to make decisions. 🤷
Must be that those who god didn't save were Democrats.
When its tragedy in California its bc God's mad at evil. When it's Texas: God sends floods bc he loves them, it's random, he's testing everyone who is still alive, it's the government, or the crown jewel - still California's fault God flooded Texas. God's Will = Easy guilt free exoneration
Pretty sure you couldn't say you were grateful for God's Hand in the UK without stifled giggles at the back.
I don’t consider myself overly religious but I get really pissed off when I see members of this current admin invoke God whenever it suits them… Noem who has no prob posing in front of incarcerated individuals like she is on a catwalk; Bondi w this massive cross around her neck while she lies…
Huh. Not so long ago, weather events were God's judgment for current political events... Is that not a thing anymore? She only sees blessings?
I've been thinking a lot about that. If this had been a camp for LGBTQ teens, I think we all know what message we'd be hearing from this moron.
Maybe because God is a man-made myth. Organised religion is an institutionalised form of slavery. Wake the flock up, folks!!
Bad theology is bad theology. It never answers the "why" question, yet there are people for whom it's enough. Noem isn't one of them, of course. She's just saying the words, ugly as they are. It's hard to choose the worst among our current administration, but this woman is near the top of the list.
#kristinoem said ‘..in God’s hand’. WTF! WTF! It's conveyed nothing to do with the word ‘god’! She killed her puppy! Cannabel eats cannabel, enjoys attacking hard-working immigrants, and steals the government money for herself!
That's a cruel and capricious god. No thanks.
I wish she would stick gods hand up her shiatsu. dumb bitch
Just not healthcare
If you accept this blather as an explanation for anything then you are a goddamn fool.
Doestoevsky once said if there is a God how can children be made to suffer?
This G-d needs to be on a Performance Improvement Plan if children are allowed to die.
While praising her sky daddy, shecs housing the invoices from the River of Fire.
May God use his Sharpie to cross her name off his list.
I guess God is not too fond of the children who died ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Republican god doesn't work like that. When a democratic area is hit, god is punishing them. When some idiot in a red state uses school kids for target practice, well then "god works in mysterious ways"
Not a single person in Washington State drowned because of the Texas floods. That's true for 48 other states. Thank you, God.
we should fire the incompetent God.
Can you or someone explain to the world why the Almighty God did let this happen and did not prevent it if HE is so powerful? Asking on behalf of the mourning family members …
and they now control the weather machine. Unless Biden stole it when he left.
The Hunt family didn’t pray hard enough according to Noem www.google.com/url?q=https:...
I don't think people being deported to South Sudan would describe it as a positive experience
Fuck this nasty asshole 🤬🤬🤬
She’s horrid. Sadly, the magas agree with all she said..
It's awfully convenient that it's always God's handiwork when there's a Republican administration, but never when there's a Democratic one. God did it always seems to absolve Republicans of any responsibility, but if a Democrat was president, you better believe this would ALL be their fault.
WHORE❗️
Her imaginary friend in the sky
Letting God deal with the numerous stuff they don't want to bother with is litteraly their plan, yeah.
Yeah, by Kristi's logic God's hand also took over a 100 lives.
His moron Press Secretary said the flooding was "an act of God"
Seems like she’s saying God selectively killed those victims.
Either God is pretty rubbish at this omnipotence thing, or he doesn't like us much.
Keep talking like you’re talking and one day God is gonna strike you down.
God did a great job during Katrina too! Over 1,800 people perished-great job Brownie(!), but they weren’t white pseudo Christians, so… not much of a loss.🤬
Noem is making a compelling argument that if God existed he would be a homicidal sociopath who murders small children by the dozens.
God, watching Germany in 1933: This is fine. Still watching, 1938: I see no problem here. Still watching, 1942: Everything is going according to my perfect plan. Still watching, 1944: There are going to be so many good movies that come out of this.
Says the godless creature.
They hire only the best gods
The “whole situation” - she is in charge of DHS and that is why she believes - impeach immediately.
They want folks especially the church belt states to continue to feel helpless….believing this is all God’s will and they should be grateful they did not die too…..making folks feel helpless takes away the resistance….they will follow directions
Maybe she missed her calling as a minister.
Well, I am one of the people that didn't die! (I live in Nevada). Maybe god kept me off a flight there and then some affinity for camping on a river that is in "flash flood valley". Hmmm
God’s children have failed in their stewardship of the planet and all the souls he placed in their care. “Dominion” is a public service job.
Little girls being so disposable and all....
It's a quid pro quo, David. God gave her the best hair and teeth, so she's reciprocating.
Norm is so god damned stupid..
Guess God just got tired of saving people and said, fuck it.
God is like I gave you the technology and the people to avoid disasters like this,but you don’t use the tech and you fire the people who could have better informed you of the impending doom.
Seems like it would be better to not murder young kids in the first place, but I know that's crazy talk ..... 😇
Now get God to issue weather advisories before he does this stuff!
Dems control the weather and kill ppl but god is stronger than Schumer is what Kim said
Counterpoint to this lying Botox witch in the suit: if god created us so that we can serve/help each other out, does that mean we have the right to blame her scrawny ass and this administration for gutting the NWS among other things for making the death toll from the Texas floods worse?
No thanks to her. As someone who lost a daughter to cancer, I have more than a lifetime's worth of contempt for her kind of thinking. No God did not hate my daughter and loves those who have survived.
I am so beyond sorry for the loss of your daughter, quinn664! I totally agree with what you are saying! 💯%!
I'm so sorry. 💔
I am so sorry for your loss 🕊️💔🕊️
The city mgr had 3 hrs between the 1:15 & 4:15 warnings to mobilize crews that could have warned at least the kid camps. I suppose the real hand of God is how elected officials prioritize the creation of an adequate warning system. The dead are always the sacrifice.
God is Omniscient. Then he must see all the misery like starving babies? God is Omnipresent. So he is everywhere & in everyone, including child rapists or Hitler? God is Omnipotent. So he can cure every ill with a snap of his fingers? Why doesn't he? He could easily create a perfect world!
God is indifferent.
Which God are we talking about? The one invented by humans or the one that never existed?
Neither of those. Maybe the one that encapsulates all existence. The Spinozan version, maybe.
I agree. My question was just facetious.
Lol. Sorry. Just woke up.
😄no biggie! 😄
Or is it that he uses the ridiculous excuse that people need to suffer to learn their own lesson? Who the fuck made THAT rule? He Did! So again, he could undo it with a snap of his fingers? So why won't he? Maybe 'he' just likes to watch people suffer when he could cure all with a snap of a finger
I get really mad when these religious nuts say, "it was God's will" or "God works in mysterious ways" Get it through your heads - you created this 'God' to absolve you from all responsibility! 'He' did not 'create' you. You created yourself from all your past good & bad actions - its called KARMA!
If anyone believes in that kind of God, they're stupider than they look!

God must be fitted to what happens as water fits to the puddle.
All one can say about ICE Barbie is...
They really ARE bat💩 crazy!
🎯🎯
Thou shall have no other Gods before me Well, Buttwheat, ya done messed that one up. Thanks for making room for the real followers of Christ.
AAAAAAACK!!
he's not just a russian whore. he's also a former favourite of Epstein.
God wants us to “walk alongside and take care of each other” … except for immigrants?? 😐
CUNT!
The fawning…
Sounds like a pretty weak god tbh
"We were created to help each other". How about "treat others the way you would want to be treated"? The vomit that comes out of her mouth is never-ending
Then God needs to do a better job. I hate it when people say “he’s testing his followers “. I say bullshit!
Perhaps these kids weren't godly enough and God was punishing them like he did with Katrina. This is the crap I will never forget people saying. next God needed more angels😡
Why didn't God do a better job. Listen to you.
She is a nut!
Unless you’re a brown migrant worker, God doesn’t want us to serve them?! 😳
These freaks go all-in for theoidiocy instead of theodicy. Sky Daddy permits evil cuz those people deserved it, unless those people were our people in which case, libruls somehow did it against God's will.
To paraphrase that great move “Oh God”, the question isn’t why God allowed the deaths of over 100 people. The question is, Why did we?
Fuck you, Miss Take, God killed all those people. That is, If you believe in God.
Exactly what we should expect from Mar A Lago Barbie.
God can't turn off the Democrats weather machine, and that's the problem at hand.
Why did God send the flash flood in the first place, you stupid dog-killing bitch?
The expression on the face of the guy next to her…
“God created us to take care of each other.” This while the entire administration is not even trying to care for us!
You're using that brain of yours. Turn it off and it might make more sense!
🤯 [in Apocalypse now voice:] The stupid! The stupid!
Canada here - yup we all - all 40 million Canadians didnt drown in the Texas flood - thank you God! Wtaf - separation of church and state - also she's insane!
Yeh. I think they have to gush like this to override those questions. 🤷♀️
waiting for lightning to strike
That would involve the human race taking responsibility for our own actions and that just isn't going to happen with most of us.
When someone nods like that they are convincing themselves and lying like F**k!
Why didn’t God save everyone?
Right, what’s God got against 8 yr old girls? While, odds are, at least one pedophile was saved.
The sacrifices weren't piled up high enough to placate the all powerful
Clearly, the evangelicals need to vote God out! Bring in a better God, a more merciful God, a God that is truly for the righteous Christians.
Either their parents didn’t send enough money to the church or they didn’t pray as hard as the others who survived.
Once again, God gets credit for all the good things and no blame for the bad things.
Kristi Noem 'extremely grateful for God's Plague of Flash-floods’
Wow. So parents who lost children and children who lost parents are supposed to thank some imaginary old guy in the sky who spared some other family? This is so mean. 😪
We all know that they're just invoking God because they don't want to take responsibility for anything. "Religion is like a blind man looking in a black room for a black cat that isn't there and finding it." Oscar Wilde.
What's with the fist ready to go on the guy sitting next to Kristi?
Is Costume GI Joe Barbie wearing her Virgin Mary costume while she's blaspheming through her silicone lips and Melania hair extensions?
That same hand crushed out the lives of innocent children and adults. Seems irrational to believe their god is ambidextrous
Madness. And the press continues to coddle these genocidal incompetents.
On their worst day, American Citizens want to be protected by the Constitution and the rule of law, and they would like to have a job, a living wage, and health care assistance within a safe community that respects their rights, without the sanctimonious drivel.
Amen
"God" the word used by billions to avoid accepting responsibility for anything.
I get so sick of hearing that, as though some little children are more worthy than others?
Apparently her God has a ‘catch limit’, David…and apparently, he’s also weaker than the Weather God(s)… …or perhaps that’s the Carbon God(s)? It’s all so confusing when we turn our brains off, isn’t it?
God didn't save those people, other people did.
God would have done more but he/she/they were busy trying to keep dogs safe from Noem.
A penny for his thoughts.
You'd think with all the lightning available on a daily basis...
I ask the same question: When ISN'T God's will?
When isn’t your special super invisible friend delusion?
You seem to assume I am a believer. I am irreligious. It is all nonsense and fantasy. But the question SHOULD be valid for "believers".
Agreed. It’s like two teams at a ball game both praying for the competition to lose. 🤦♂️
It kills me... All the piety. All of it phony. And, alas, so much of it murderous.
The fake Piety thing reminds me of: “now that I’m humble, I’m perfect.” Mentally similar to a psychologist’s view of the cruelty of MAGA, where the motivation is to keep others down to preserve one’s self-image of being “better than” groups xyz. Rooted in a selfish lack of values.
Children of the Corn…all voting for a 34x felon & sexual predator 🤷♂️ Yup.
A new role for Performative Barbie Noem - now she sits at the right hand of god and explains His/Her/Their decisions. Did they forget to attach the angel wings to her costume today?
Very hard to successfully govern if you put faith before facts. Just plain lazy.
Who is that sitting next to her? His face says it all.
That is HUD secretary - only person of color chosen by Trump because the word “urban” is in the name - because yeah
Dog killer Noem calling up the word God or Jesus surely paves her way to hell. Guess who is awaiting her arrival?
Such BS
Indeed He works in mysterious ways🙄
He works better in MN. I get weather alarms on my phone at 2 am.
God sent two Latina girls to save 20 children Kristi. Latina girls like the people you’re sending to concentration torture camps in Florida.
She cray
Word salad at its best! Throw in a few Jesus words to dress it.
This sounds like an abusive relationship.
If God's hand was real, he/she/it/they would slap the smug of that one.
Listening to press conferences and statements from those currently in charge, I find suggestions are being made that floods, catastrophic events can/should be scheduled. IE: before or after lunch. Sirens, announcements middle of the night? If water taller than I am is headed my way, Hell Yes!
I am not now, nor have I ever been a violent person but damn I really would love to punch her in the face repeatedly
What an embarrassment she is.
And isn’t this a left handed way of saying those not saved by He Am Who Is were not worthy of that mercy?
While she spews her ball-licking BS, all I see of her at that angle are her over-inflated largemouth bass lips.
It's amazing how fictional characters can't do anything!
And those hundreds who were saved were not saved by God, they were saved by people. Noem can go fuck her self.
Innocents being harmed as a despotic administration deliberately harms other innocents. Perhaps it’s a sign 🪧
What do we know about the actual rescue/recovery process. 25 feet of water rose in 45 minutes. Hundreds rescued? If the "rescuers" were so adept why couldn't they get to the most vulnerable?
www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... I mean keep scrolling. Almost no stories concerning rescues, no sign that hundreds were spared because of rescuers.
God I can’t stand her.
