Sooooo... Rush Limbaugh died today from Lung Cancer.

This man did more to create the current toxic political atmosphere in the US. I will not miss his input.

Republican governor of GOP-run state which is suffering from power outages due to failures to insulate gas pipes, leading to limited supplies of natural gas in addition to frozen instruments at natural gas, coal and nuclear facilities, identifies the problem: Democrats.

Meanwhile, GOP elected officials comforts electorate by saying "only the strong will survive", and Dan Crenshaw gets his guns ready to go hunt Antifa.

It's a national embarrassment knowing people are going to read about this party in the history books.

step 1: Privatize your grid.
step 2: Don't mandate winterization.
step 3: Contribute to climate change.
step 4: Refuse to link to the federal grid.
Step 5: ???
Step 6: Have the federal government bail you out while complaining about the federal government being the problem.
Step 7: Profit!

I agree what happened is not good, if a former Mayor said this, I take your word for it, it is wrong and bad, at least it is a former Mayor. The Democratic Party should also not make politics out of it, and neither should the Republicans in any way, this should not be about politics on any sides.

It's almost like Climate Change is a real thing that the GOP should have been doing something about.

But I'm sure you have your own opinions.

He was the current mayor, said these words, then had to resign.

The fact the Republicans hate nationalisation is why this has happened. The fact Texas has private companies dealing with the electric and gas mains is the reason they have seen power outages. Because they have not been connected to the federal grid is the main reason this has happened, thanks to the Republican control of Texas.

Texas hasn't seen weather like this for what? 70 years? Honestly I'm not surprised it happened... considering we tend to prepare more for extreme heat. Im more so disgusted by the blame game the power companies and beuracracy are in, hoping that they are labeled to be the ones at fault
