Texas officials have warned residents of some communities near Houston to stop using tap water because it may be tainted with a brain-eating microbe.

LAKE JACKSON, Texas — Texas officials on Saturday lifted a warning for all but one Houston-area community to stop using tap water because it might be tainted with a deadly brain-eating microbe.

The authority initially warned eight communities not to use tap water for any reason except to flush toilets, but on Saturday it lifted that warning for everywhere but Lake Jackson. The city of more than 27,000 residents is the site of the authority’s water treatment plant. The advisory also was canceled for two state prisons and Dow Chemical’s massive Freeport works.

ve10ve 2020 is trying to kill us.

Can't help but notice this is happening after all of Trumps rollbacks of EPA regulations and protections.

tonetalks Yes they be mostly black neighborhoods

Why is this happening in 2020. This is trumps America. You can’t drink the water, breath the air or free to walk around. I don’t feel safe in trumps America.

WHAT 😥😥

Are we Winning yet? Go Team Go!

kerrymcnasty How'd that happen? Oh! Texas is the home of deregulated everything. Not surprised at the result. You can frack in your own back yard in that State. 'Fruck your water quality, it ain't my well that's tainted!'Now they got something in their water that turns them to zombies? Yuck!

Joking about how the people you don’t like react to a deadly organism in 2020 is a terrible look.

Sorry, not sorry, did someone dump Trump Kool-Aid into the water supply?

2020 at it again. 😱

First symptoms is to begin to understand And believe Trump 2nd symptom is to wear maga hats or t-shirts

So showers are off the table? We can’t trust water because of a brain eating amoeba, how does that get there? Explain!

Poor microbe

Well that might explain some things

Oh 2020, thou art a heartless bitch!

2020

Let's name the microbe Trump-20. The brain numbing microbe from which there is no escape. Why are the officials telling people, that will just make them panic. There's only a couple of brains eaten, just a slight headache. It will just disappear, like a miracle.

That would explain a lot about Texasm

Gee Texas don’t you think you need to turn your state blue? VoteBlue2020

Houston should be okay then

Well, that was one I didn't see coming! The end of our crumbling democracy, sure, brain-eating microbe, not so much.

Thanks Trump.

Texas? That’s gonna be a hungry ass organism.

It must have escaped from Biden’s basement and hitched a ride to Texas on Beto’s skateboard

Well that explains a few things.

See what happens when realDonaldTrump rolls back EPA regulations. I've never heard of so many warnings abt the state of our country's drinking water. The SenateGOP is fine w/ screwing the American people as long as it puts a few extra bucks in their donors pockets.

Trumps america. Even the water is poison, sad!!!

2020

Ask trump to fix it. I'm sure he'll be right on that.

wtf

Isn't Houston the same place where the pigs were found to be the cause of brain worms?

OMG!

Only in 2020.

Stop using as stop drinking or stop turn it on at all in house ?

Seriously?!?!?

This is how get John Cornyn

JuddApatow Plot to create more Trump voters.

Nobody is going to take away my constitutional right to drink tap water out of my own kitchen sink. Said by every Trump supporter

Karma for cheating in baseball

ENOUGH 2020.

Their work there is done

2020

I have a brother there,the one that unfriended because of my Biden vote, now i know why he is voting for Trump.Hes got bugs in his brain

let them drink, they don't wear masks to protect against an unseen virus, they can't see this one either.

GregAbbott_TX Still praying for Israel?

Why couldn’t that happen to Portland or Seattle?

Imagine reading this headline and your knee-jerk reaction is infantile Democrat vs Republican (pissing)warplay

It has been there for quite some time.... right.

It’s a Democratic Hoax to make Donald Trump and the Great State of Texas look bad. Any TRUE PATRIOT would snort their tap water... unlike those sheeple libs that are going to drink all the purified bottled water full of microscopic tracking devices planted there by Bill Gates!

When was the last time the President was near Houston? This could explain so much!

Explains a lot about Texans. Same has been the case in Florida for quite some time, I presume?

🇺🇲 Alerta! 🔴 Funcionarios de Texas han advertido a los residentes de algunas comunidades cercanas a Houston que dejen de usar agua del grifo porque puede estar contaminada con un microbio que come cerebros.

Too late for far too many people commenting about politics on twitter today

Then you should be telling Houstans to stop showering! That’s where you’ll inhale water droplets

The same one that got the GOP?

Because 2020 hasn’t been enough of a shit show apparently 🤷🏼‍♂️

Tainted water near Dow’s Chemical plant!! Better title.

VintageKnits Is that where the Whitehouse gets their water?

My guess is their brains have already been eaten.

It will be hard to distinguish between the affected and unaffected.

MairiLicious7 They're probably friends with the murder hornets.

Trump microbe?

America is literally falling apart 😒

Surely that can’t be right. Donald Trump said America has the cleanest air and water in the world.

Well RIP. Still safer than Flint.

It might generate trump voters.

This is just too much

It’s Texas. The microbes will starve to death before dark.

Texas loves the freedom of deregulation.

2020.

The joke writes itself. But that is horrible. Another Flint.

joerogan just drink bourbon bro

That’s fun.

Lib lies! I just took a bath in it then drank the whole tubs worth of water to prove it and I’m fine! maga

American Infrastructure Rating: D+ Brain Worm: A+

lewoofla Bet it gets fixed before Flint’s water. White people drink it in Houston.

2020

This is a joke right?

The microbe has been identified as Trumpilium Presidentium Bacillus

Maga people have nothing to fear

Public works are run by local elected officials. People need to hold them accountable..

Is this warning being released like... 2 decades late?

2020 is just bullying us like..

SenTedCruz 's neighborhood? That could explain things about him.

That explains a lot!

I mean sure! Why not?🤷 It's 2020!

Texas is literally making Trump voters, and they're doing it through the water supply. Big story.

Don’t tell anyone, it might cause “panic.” Let 200,000 of them die of “herd mentality.”

ok so that explains Louie Gohmert

There is only one protection against virus/bacteria: Strong immunity w pH saliva/urine 7.5 at all times! Get an air purifier since furniture, books, mail, household items, even TP=toxic! Don't stop your breath, stop more poisons and pollution! Go organic, go vegan.

2020 couldn't possibly get any wor.... 🤦‍♂️😓 Fuck

Too late...

Brain-eating microbe MAGAMOEBA.....

Wait WHAT?

mav_the_patriot That explains Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.

Yay! 2020! 🙄

But environmental regulations kill jobs.

lol explains all the trump supporters.

JuddApatow Holy moly! 🥺

Lake Jackson has been voting GOP for decades. That brain-eating bacteria has been there for at least that long.

Bio terror.

Its just too funny cant make this stuff up. Let me guess, somehow this will turn to be democrats fault by trumpsky.

Unless it eats the part of the brain that makes people vote Trump. Then by all means, drink the water.

Has anyone checked to see if Trump has drunk any, he is definitely showing the symptoms

Wtf? ^^

October is about to get wiiiild.

Awesome

The government is trying to limit drinking water! Drink up, Republicans, don't tread on me!

selfdeclaredref Lol. Too late.

It has infected Trumpers...brain- eating microbe.

EPA under tRump

It’s ok for Republicans to drink, it’s not real to them. Trump has your water covered. Best water since Lincoln.

It’s the same bug that hit Trump’s Mar a Largo resort back in 2015.

I mean, the clouds sneeze and it floods. I can only imagine what creeps up from the sewers. 🤮it’s just a hoax through probably.

Wtf

GovAbbott running Texas like DC... Don't worry they have ramps there too

JuddApatow Republicans: no keep drinking the water!! It’s fine it’s just another democratic ploy! THE WATER IS FINE I REPEAT THE WATER IS FINE IN TEXAS

I don’t remember communities near Houston needing to stop using tap water due to brain eating microbes when Obama was President 🤔

That was not on my bingo card!

BINGO!

This is how they recruit people to fill tRump rallies.

2020.

Ewwwww....😳😳

2020, what else can you expect

No one, anywhere, in Texas should be drinking the tap water

That would explain tedcruz’s stupid ass tweets and overall terrible-ness as a person

That’s comforting news.

tedcruz Hey Rafa, I know it's not as popular as bashing a Netflix film or attractive as pornhub, but maybe pay attention to this.

What’s funny is most of the dunces on this thread think Houston is a Republican city.

Dang. 2020 strikes again.

CDC: “You cannot get infected from drinking water contaminated with Naegleria. You can only be infected when contaminated water goes up into your nose.”

This is the kind of shit that happens when you have a President more worried about cutting regulations and enriching billionaires than protecting Americans basic right to drink clean water or breath clean air.

That would explain a lot, are you sure it not Florida?

In Texas? Too late.

Does that mean Trump voters are immune?

Don’t worry, it’ll just go away.....like a miracle

2020 keeps coming with the hits

2020!!

I wonder if Texan's will believe this or is this just another democratic hoax like COVID?

That explains a lot

That sounds well, not good...but typical 2020.

that would explain a lot

oh great.

Prolonged exposure to the bacteria wiil make you support JoeBiden.

selfdeclaredref

WHO DRINKS TAP WATER IN ANY CITY THESE DAYS....SMH

Ahhh don't you just love deregulation?

'In 2020, the zombies arrived...'

Could be a good time for Trump to visit Houston so he can blame the democrats for tainting the water supply with a brain eating microbe! Or maybe blame Antifa for this being a terrorist attack! Of course he will ignore the fact that TX has a GOP gov. & Houston a GOP Mayor!

2020 just keeps on giving.....

W T F is going on with 2020?!

That's just so 2020

What a dump! USA USA !!!

Has that been supplied to the White House for the last three years?

Because, 2020....

Red state problems

Veger70 Or Soylent Green 😳

Please no regulations or environmental protections on my water!!! I love my liberty!!!

It’s been affecting Trump supporters for years!

What’s next in 2020

WTF!!!! 🤯

Well that explains a lot.

I've been to Houston. You're too late.

Theboyfaeblair 😳

These comments have me rollin’ 😂

selfdeclaredref glad i only drink bottled water lol

Fullsey keep it up

It’s called something with “Q”... just tell people to get of Facebook.

When such public utilities become forgotten priorities of the Elite...The real fight is between Good & evil. Fear nothing but fear: America was under British dominance & dictatorship Until The People said two words & acted upon ‘em: No more. A different one, but time has come.

Texas, known as the 'Anus of America', has officially lived up to the parasitic dump that it is.

WTF? 2020, can you take a break already...

2020: and then the zombies arrived.

Officials stress that this brain-eating microbe will have no effect on MAGA voters.

Now check Florida.
