    Democrats Prove They Don't Really Care

    That's a bit of a misleading post, though I'd admit it's got pork in it. May I remind you that when Trump first said that he would not sign the *last* Covid-19 relief bill without a $2000 per person stimulus, it was Pelosi and the Democrats in the house who came back into session and...

    The Texas energy crisis

    I think it's now closer to five million, but either way it's more than Cancun Cruz did for Texas.

    The Texas energy crisis

    And to add insult to injury, their privatization process in Texas works a lot like the old Enron ponsi scheme, and some Texas customers are being hit with *massive* electricity bills. Anger over huge power bills for Texas residents after storm

    The Texas energy crisis

    Let's get real. The primary reason that the power grid failed in Texas is because their privately owned utility company refused to learn from past mistakes. Texas had the same problem, albeit less severely, about a decade ago. They did a full study of that incident and they determined that the...

    Joe lies to make himself look good

    Biden will never reach Trumps total for two basic reasons. He doesn't lie as often as Trump does to start with, but more importantly Biden doesn't need to have his ego stroked by being in the news or on TV every single day. The latter issue is the one that will make the largest difference. I...

    Sitting and watching the opening of the most partisan and illegitimate assault on the constitution

    Nowhere was that more obvious when they went ahead and contested electoral college votes even *after* the riot, and during the impeachment trial when they hid behind an issue that had already been resolved on the first day of the trial. The vote on the very first day resolved the issue of...

    Yep, it's going to be a different administration.

    Where's your evidence that it was 'corrupt' in any way? In case you *still* believe the lies about wide spread voter fraud......

    No, Wind Farms Aren't the Main Cause of the Texas Blackouts

    Those really are the two key issues. Ten years ago, and twelve years before that, Texas had very similar events, but they don't seem to be learning from their mistakes. Not only have they isolated themselves from everyone around them that could help them, they've also never bothered to prepare...

    No, Wind Farms Aren't the Main Cause of the Texas Blackouts

    We're talking *natural* gas, not gasoline. As I understand it the water vapor in the gas lines can start to freeze below 32 degrees and it can interfere with the movement of the gas through the pipelines. U.S. Cold Blast So Extreme Gas Pipes Are Starting to Freeze...

    Putin just blew up the irony meter.

    Russia Blasts Biden Regime For ‘Persecution’ Of Trump Supporters, Political Dissidents It's almost comical that Putin would attempt to complain about how we're handling a riot at the US Capitol, while he poisons and imprisons all his political rivals and while he locks up thousands of peaceful...

    No, Wind Farms Aren't the Main Cause of the Texas Blackouts

    Ted Cruz might not have a defense, but the cause of the Texas blackouts this week is blatantly obvious. They're directly related to their *privatization* of their power grid and their decision to isolate themselves from the rest of the US power grid to avoid any federal regulations. That's...

    No, Wind Farms Aren't the Main Cause of the Texas Blackouts

    I should point out that here in California, the rolling blackouts have had *nothing* to do with our ability to generate power or acquire power. The blackouts here have been caused by infrastructure limitations like wires and transformers which limit how much power can be delivered to specific...

    No, Wind Farms Aren't the Main Cause of the Texas Blackouts

    I love how the the misinformation starts flying because nobody wants to admit that privatizing the power grid in Texas, and disconnecting it from the US power grid was a bad idea. Even with all the various plant failures that Texas experienced, were they still connected to the US power grid...

    Joe lies to make himself look good

    Um, that's a bit misleading on your part: Why did Team Trump vow to release non-existent vaccine supplies? In the weeks prior to Biden taking office, the Trump administration had been talking about apparently non-existent 'reserves' that were being held, which Biden commented on at the time...

    Sitting and watching the opening of the most partisan and illegitimate assault on the constitution

    I'm speculating, just like you. Well for starters because a lot of lives were at stake. There's not much a President can do, but there were some things that were possible and cutting red tape is a obvious thing to do. I didn't hear him condemn Trump for getting the vaccines into production...

    In case you *still* believe the lies about wide spread voter fraud......

    What exactly does CNN have to do with anything? I'm mostly just interested in what Alyssa Farah had to say. The interviewer is pretty much irrelevant although I thought that he asked some good and very direct questions.

    Yep, it's going to be a different administration.

    I'm not sure that Trump actually underestimated Biden when you consider the events surrounding the military aid withheld from Ukraine. He was worried about Biden even before Biden became the democratic nominee. I think Trump's own ego just made him overestimate his own abilities. I think...

    Yep, it's going to be a different administration.

    Unfortunately it's unlikely that Biden will ask for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the events of January 6th 2021, mostly because of the political optics. That however *should* happen, but alas I think Biden would rather stay far away from that issue. Perhaps the AG...

    Sitting and watching the opening of the most partisan and illegitimate assault on the constitution

    What *utter* nonsense! Virtually *everyone* would have fast tracked the vaccines by paying for production while the drugs were still in trial. It's the logical thing to have done at that moment in time. Trump did do the right thing, but your assertion that it was faster than "anyone else...
