Chris Hayes Debunks GOP, Right-Wing Media Lies About Texas Power Outages...
Aha... It was Jewish Space Lazers that were to blame! LOL
Georgia Republicans Cheating To Get Trump Out of Legal Trouble
As Rachel Maddow says, they will need a supermajority to do this. It is unlikely they will be able to change their constitution. The more important events taking place is where the USSC is holding Trump's tax returns that SDNY needs to begin their investigations. Are they trying to run out the statute of limitations by hold Trump's tax returns so that Trump can go free again?
AOC Joins Calls to Investigate Cuomo Nursing Home Scandal | The Mehdi Ha...
Andrew Cuomo has been among the best governors in the nation while struggling to work under a terrible federal administration. I, sincerely doubt we should be looking to punish Andrew for a relatively small error. As far as him threatening someone, the claim sounds way too petty and childish to be a real action from a highly intelligent leader. I'm very sure that if Andrew wanted to threaten someone, he could find better, more subtle and effective language without being as crude as one would have us believe. Andrew is not Trump!

So then, deregulation had nothing to do with it? If I recall, one of the arguments against government regulation of businesses was: "These businesses would not harm themselves". Unfortunately, every time businesses are deregulated, they opt to take the path to increased profits at the expense of best practices, not only harming their own businesses but harming their industries as well.

All Republicans care about is getting elected and holding onto power, otherwise, it's off to Cancun among other tropical retreats. If they didn't know better, they would not be trying to blame others for their own failures and deceits.
A vote for Republicans is a vote for deregulation, which means that profit seeking companies have no reason to spend extra money on infrastructure issues that don't impact their operations immediately.
Air Cruz off to see the Wizard:

Historically, Republicans take power and spend, spend, spend money on nothing that does the nation any good and block and ignore all of the nations needs. They spent nothing on infrastructure, nothing on the nations health crisis until it was too late, then politicized the science and attacked the institutions that we rely upon to keep things running smoothly. They've broken everything and messed up royally since they "got the keys back" from Obama, who took the wheel after they'd "run the car into the ditch".
Four more years of Republican rule would have been more than the country could take, we might well have done better under Putin than Trump.

Is the U.S. Becoming a Failed State? | The Mehdi Hasan Show
Biden will fix as much as he can with Republicans standing in the way as much as they can, should they take back power in the next few elections it's "Look Out Below", because we're coming down.

Of course, it's a crime for a mother to try to keep her family together, go check yourself into jail if you are poor. But not by "AIR TED" eh? Or, is it Cancun Cruz? You decide.

Ercot needs to be sued! Ted needs to resign!!!
Hey hey, ho ho, Ted Cruz has got to go!
I'll believe Andrew Cuomo, the accusations of threats are woefully out of character for him, I'm sure he would not be so crude if he threatened anyone.
Which came first on Mars, the crater or the lake?

Watch live: NASA's Perseverance rover set to land on Mars
Why do I think there was once life on Mars? Well, the rust on the surface seems to me to be one hell of a big clue. You see, when the earth cooled from a molten ball of rock and seas formed, life began very quickly and long before there was oxygen in the atmosphere in any appreciable amount. Oxygen is so active it easily compounds with very many other elements such that there would be little if any of it free in the air.
My guess is that this would also be the case on Mars, water, an atmosphere but very little free oxygen. So then, where would all that rust come from? On earth we had a similar circumstance. In our case cyanobacteria released ozygen. Then the oxygen combined with iron in the water and it coated the earth in rust deposits. I would imagine that pretty much the same would have happened on Mars.
After the earth cooled enough to have liquid water it didn't take very long for life to begin, so I'd suspect that early life isn't all that difficult to get started. Cyanobacteria would probably develop just as quickly and so there's only a need for Mars to hold its water and atmosphere for only a few hundred million to a billion years to reach the point where it can rust the iron out of the water. Otherwise one needs to find another source for all that free oxygen to rust all that iron. It didn't happen on earth without the assistance of life, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't happen on Mars either.
As the planet cooled its water would, following what we see here, sink into the soil and become a permafrost layer. The planets volcanic/tectonic activity would probably create aquafers, lava tubes and erosion would create caves and caverns. Some of these voids could fill with water and be held there for long periods of time. Assuming that the interior of the planet didn't cool all that quickly, this buried water could have remained liquid for a very long time, perhaps as much as a couple of billion years. So it will be very interesting to see what these explorations can find.

Please Chris, don't ask how stupid Carson thinks his listeners are; LOL! The answer, of course, is VERY!!!

Meanwhile, Texans don't seem to remember ENRON, which required deregulation to operate their scam. Like I said, keep voting Republican Texas, then keep wondering why things keep getting worse.

Way to go Texas, keep voting Republican. What do they care? They're millionaires and billionaires, their homes are warm and they've got plenty. They surpress your votes so they can stay in office regardless of what the people need to have done, that they cannot be bothered to do. Texas will never be prepared for anything as long as you allow Republicans to suppress your votes so you cannot hold them accountable at the polls. They own you!

Ted Cruz SHUT DOWN After Texas Gets Hit By Extreme Storm
Republicans do nothing about civil rights
Republicans do nothing about voter rights
Republicans do nothing about minimum wage
Republicans do nothing about climate change
Republicans do nothing about pollution
Republicans do nothing about food safety
Republicans do nothing about market fraud
Republicans do nothing about Covid 19
Republicans do nothing about school safety
Republicans do nothing about education
Republicans do nothing about almost anything except how to benefit the wealthy in exchange for campaign contributions.
But, Republicans always complain about everything except their own abject stupidity.
Rudy Giuliani is no longer representing Trump, adviser says

The Next Phase of Capitol Riot Inquiry after Trump's Acquittal | The Meh...
You can bet that if Hillary were found to have committed anything criminal she would have faced the harshest penalties very quickly imposed.
They keep saying the managers didn't do a good job, well; if you listen to Mitch McConnell and other Republicans after the vote, you must realize that there simply wasn't a better job that could be done, they had convinced their opponents that Trump was actually guilty. So, why all this crap? Obviously it seems that everyone on both sides are working to get Trump off scott free if they can. A "911 Commission", is little better than another "Warren Commission", magic bullets and all, magic skyjackers and magical planes. There's something seriously wrong with America.

Pramila Jayapal Explains The $15 Minimum Wage | Pod Save America
I was aghast to learn that a couple driving an 18 wheeler, earned 150k for the year, only to pay 100k in fuel cost and then had a 13k bill for repairs on the truck. That left them 37k for the year's work, but this "targeting" would probably exclude them from getting a check because of the 150k total earnings. It's such a shame that Republican plans are often needlessly cruel, shortsighted and mistakenly contrived.

Meet The Press Broadcast (Full) - February 14th, 2021 | Meet The Press |...
Listen to them pretend that truth might have matter to Republicans, if only it had been presented better. It was presented in the best way possible as evidenced by the admissions made after the acquittal vote. Now they're trying to say essentially: "The hostage taking murderous bank robber had a very bad day at trial because of the harsh talking to he received with the dismissal of the charges." Wow, just wow. Party talking about Reagan's win? He asked Iran to hold onto the hostages until after the election and he would give them a better deal, that was not a winning appeal to America that won him the election, it was a crass manipulation. Okay, okay, okay, fall for this kind of garbage, and America is done.
Trump Has To Say Goodbye To This Mar-A-Lago Luxury
If they revoke his club license he'll have to refund those 200k memberships he sold. lol
Trump's World is Crumbling Around Him
The "glow" of the impeachment "win" and any remaining enthusiasm for the political sphere will quickly fade in the coming weeks. Then the abject desperation will begin to set in. With no banks or financial support, he'll probably take to trying to use his campaign donations to prop up his businesses or to take on any new ventures. But he's a pariah and as such he's likely to only attract charlatans. All he needs is to make the papers as a victim of some fraudster and it's all over. Oh yeah, a third party will cost him big money and end in a dismal failure.
Ari Melber: McConnell Said Trump Did It Despite Voting Not Guilty | MSNBC
Mitch is skilled at having it both ways. This is the second time he thought Trump was guilty but voted not to impeach. Mitch will always look for ways to appear to be on both sides of any controversial issue. He's all for Covid relief, but we have to be careful not to bust the budget.
Gangel: GOP sources tell me this isn't over for Trump
Congress needs to remove all benefits that an honorable President would collect.
See what Mitch McConnell said after Trump's acquittal
Therefore, Mitch believes that a criminal president should leave the office with all the trappings and benefits of having concluded an honorable presidency, regardless of his terrible behavior and dishonorable performances including the right to run for office and try this seditious behavior again. Great thinking Mitch.
