    Until some of these fucking idiots get voted out in favor of some people who will actually clean up our energy cesspool, nothing will change (unless you count these things happening more frequently and with worse outcomes as change)

    Its beyond me how Abbott can be in Taiwan for over a week while 2 million people in Houston are without power and there appears to be no political consequence at all

    The level of contempt these assholes have for the people in their state is absolutely off the charts; but apparently warranted because the people here are fucking stupid and put up with it

    Every single person I know bitching about CenterPoint on social media is either a Republican or apolitical. It’s amazing.

    The largest provider of children’s healthcare in the state just announced they’re lying off 5% of their staff because Abbott took away their Medicaid contract and awarded it to an out of state private insurer.

    If Beto, a pretty moderate D, can’t beat Cruz, a literal piece of shit, then nothing really matters in that state.

    We all know all the democrats need is another Aggy to run as a democrat.
    Aggy will Vote aggy 100% of 100% of the time

    Problem is aggys are predominantly R's, so finding one that wants to be a politician and will run D is difficult
