 User ID: 77099315  United States02/19/2021 10:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh, NOW Texans get pissed because foreigners are running their energy plants. Why didn't you look into this during the nice summertime? Hipocrites, because now that you are cold you need to scream at the boogie man. Quoting: Tynyyn Maybe this can be a lesson......begin to take over you local government before a calamity hits. Once the storm is upon you, it is too late. Every Texan had the opportunity to steer the head of that organization, but they had rather watched ESPN or played games on their IPhone. Yes, the elites have dumbed down the average American, so you get what you vote for. Dear Yankee, Fix your own abominations in the Whitehouse, your governor's mansion, Secretary of State, and legislature, then we can talk. Until then, fuck right off.

Quoting: nutmeg As with Covid-19 or climate change (formerly known as Global Warming), everything is political. EVERYTHING. People need to start holding one another accountable for their politics, for how liberal or conservative they are. And the most left leaning a person is, the more corrupt and idiotic he or she likely is. |

Yankees should stay up in Yankyville and yank it.  So Texas and Texans have no control of their own energy policy? So you're saying Texans are a bunch of cucks, willingly abdicating the responsibility of the council to outsiders. Apparently fucking so. The money at that level only makes the lawyers and politicalized grow bolder. Did the government actively STOP or PREVENT any resident from taking the reigns? You gotta ask, if you want to know how this happened, how hard do they make it to get involved on the state level of government. They have too much money to play with and can throw it around like a fatwas in a wrestling ring. As a last resort if they dont like what you are saying they will sit on you and smother you with lies and the presstitute will bury it on page 9. 21st century us government in an overgrown piece of shit at both fed and state level. |

There are plenty of versions of the Lincoln Project running around, and some of them influence even red states. |
