Just another winter in abbots texas

[Javaman]

No power.

And it being on groundhogs day isn’t lost on me

1. Abbott more concerned about owning the Libs.....

2. In all fairness, ice on power lines and ice bringing down trees and tree branches

is a lot different that when the grid couldn't handle the demand during the big freeze.

This time the temps were only a bit below freezing and so the demand wasn't like then.

4. Nothing is "fair" here in Texas. If it were, we would be part of the

National grid. This squarely on the repukes and abbot

[2naSalit]

6. I will...

Join you in blaming the asshole for this. He would most certainly blame a Democrat for it so F''k that guy.

[Liberal In Texas]

7. Oh come on. That may be, but to get alll hissy about

an bloody ICE STORM is comparing, as they say, apples and oranges.

Get mad about the infrastructure, not a storm bringing down power lines.

8. Knock yourself out with supporting abbot. As far as I'm concerned, because

He’s the gov all problems begin and end with him.

He fucked up last time and he continues to fuck up by not repairing the grid and giving them a free pass because the owners of the various utilities are major repuke donors. Couple that with the railroad commissioner being in thick with these same right wing donors.

So damn straight I blame that mother fucker abbot.

9. Look friend, I don't support Abbott. No place in what I've posted is there support for Abbott.

What a naive thing to say that the gov is responsible for ALL PROBLEMS. If Beto had been elected we would have still had an ice storm. We would still have had trees fall over and power lines ice up and break. This has nothing to do with the state of the grid as a whole.

To be clear, the current Texas management is a bunch of grifters and incompetents but they (as yet) don't control the weather.

When progressives post things that aren't true it diminishes arguments we make about the real and awful things that the RW does.

10. You ain't my friend

So cut the crap. I’m done and you aren’t currently living without electricity as I am at this very moment

Welcome to block and enjoy your buddy abbot

[Liberal In Texas]

11. You're making yourself look like an idiot.

You ought to cut the crap. Why don't you have electricity? I'll bet it had nothing to do with a grid failure and had everything to do with the weather.

[Ray Bruns]

3. I have seen lot of people blaming Abbot for these power outages.

It’s really a different situation. Ice storms always cause a lot of power outages. It’s going to be how long it takes to get the power back on.
