I don't really understand what Ted Cruz is supposed to be doing. "OMG! He went to Cancun!" So? He's a Senator. A federal representative for the state. What would such a representative want to see happen from the federal government during a natural disaster? Well, plainly put, they'd want to see the President declare a federal state of emergency and open up FEMA support to his state. That happened. What else, exactly, should he have been doing other than getting a well-earned rest after a hard campaign year, impeachments, trials, etc.? Guy doesn't deserve an actual weekend every couple years?


i believe the entire senate is on vacation right now. therefore it's literally and unironically all of their faults

AOC spending 5 minutes setting up a gofundme so other people can pay isn't "work". Nor does location matter. So... Beto's taking credit for over 300,000 phone calls made... By volunteers? And recruiting more unpaid labor? I start to understand more clearly why he lost to Cruz in 2018.

Once again, the overwhelming majority of the senate went on vacation. A rough election year plus legal battles, impeachments, a trial... At least Texas got FEMA support. What the fuck is Oregon's senators doing? Which of our senators and representatives are doing their actual job and getting Biden to notice us?

Go back to sleep, fender. You're embarassing yourself. You don't know what you're talking about and you can't even read your pathetic attempts at "gotcha" posts clearly enough to know they're a dig on you, nobody else, for being stupid enough to fall for them.

those two were busy organising and helping people, while cruz went on vacation.

now you can keep bitching and moaning about it, you can pretend that's nothing, you can deflect with silly whataboutisms, and lick teddy's boots until your tongue goes numb - but all of that won't change the fact that there were people who had plenty of ideas how to help their fellow americans, and they took the time to do that. you were the one asking what cruz could have done. now you know. you're welcome.

Setting up a gofundme and putting up a tweet is not "organizing" people you mental midget. AOC is not in Texas. AOC lives over 1700 miles (over 2700KM) from Texas. She didn't organize shit. And I wouldn't be a bit surprised if 100% of the funds went into ActBlue. It wouldn't be the first time she's lied about her shit.

For Beto, "organizing"? By making a tweet, saying "If you want to volunteer to call to get people to help in this effort, apply here:"? Then taking all the credit for the calls the unpaid volunteers make? First, that's not organizing. It's a tweet. Second, it's taking credit for other people's work. Third, he could have done that exact job FROM Cancun.

There's no whataboutisms here. You're just talking more useless shit. Does it make you feel more virtuous or something, commenting on American Politics, rather than focusing on the fact that Germany's a 90% white nation experiencing nonstop terror attacks from it's 8% arab minority and are too big of pussies to put a stop to it?

Focus on your own back yard.

"muh power grid" ideology fucked by Gawd. No redundancy, no serious regulations, i think the guy selling natural gas made much money: thats the whole point.

Btw i guess the good weather is back now, this didnt last for long.

thats a classic german trait unfortunately, we have too many people who are obsessed with everyone else and want to tell them how to handle things

meanwhile our own trash keeps piling up

ted cruz and AOC are both exactly whats wrong with western politicians

out of touch wannabe elitists, he is chilling in the sun while his people are freezing and she is a glorified waitress that turned into a champagne socialist, selling hoodies for 60 bucks while acting like she is helping people

damn boy, you seething. i LOVE how mad you are that someone pointed out what cruz could have done rather than going on vacation during a pandemic and a crisis in his home state, after you ignorantly suggested there simply wasn't anything.

from whataboutism to ad hominem, deflection, baseless smears, downplaying what others did, reality denial, and outright lies - there obviously is no low you wouldn't stoop to for ted fucking cruz, lol. insane bobb, nomen est omen...

They still have some intermittent rolling blackouts, but the grid is mostly back up and running. Just took a bunch of petroleum burned to deice the windmills. I don't know if they've gotten the downed nuclear reactor restarted yet. If they haven't, then as soon as they do, it'll be fine. If they have, then it'll balance out sooner rather than later. Hard to believe that a single safety sensor freezing was enough to cause a safety shutdown of the reactor. Just a single one. No Fukushima's in Texas I guess.

The #1 and #2 concerns right now in Texas are the hard frozen crops that're lost, and the water mains that froze and burst. It'll be a while yet.

The natural gas is fine. That's not actually a concern. Apparently the other two grids were selling power into the Texas grid to help balance it out. THEY were making a ton of money, charging not only a huge premium to the Texas grid, but massively increasing the cost to their own customers.

Power companies are going to make out like bandits here. Not only enough profit to repair the damage to all three grids, but come out ahead. About like you'd expect.

When you feel like saying something intelligent, let us know. "blah blah I love dems blah blah dems great blah blah". You're not American. Nobody gives a shit what some Nazi German likes.

Agreed on AOC. 50/50 on Cruz. Senators get vacations too, and our Oregon Senators were off on vacation while we were hit by the storm. I don't mind that. Just more curious where our FEMA help is. We've still got 80,000 without power after a week. Most of the damage has been cleaned up, but grid repair is too specialized, standard volunteers can't help that, so downed lines and transformer replacements/repairs either just takes a lot of time, or requires electrician help from other states. As far as Beto, he's a useless shill who likes to take credit for other people's actions.
