Self described, present day leftists are consistently anti-war, no matter the party in power. Scan through the articles in the link if you really want to know what "the left" thinks of the Syria bombings. It's been this way going back to that lying son of a bitch Johnson and for every administration, R and D, since. You're conflating everyone to your left (which is most people in this country) with the actual left which is much smaller.

markstanco, when he wakes up: "Haha. Just the kind of response I'd expect from the liberal cabal. Why are y'all so intolerant of people with a different viewpoint?"
markstanco, later in DTs thread: "Oh, yeah. I went to the CR. It's a tough racket."
Texas produces very little hydro power. I read somewhere that Mansfield Dam is the top power generating dam in the state. It's not exactly Grand Coulee or Three Gorges.
Say what will you about Dean Corll, but he did smoke out many a youngster before he tortured them, killed them and buried their remains on the beach at High Island.
That looks like a copper cap. It could be an abandoned line going to nowhere. It might also be the end of an air chamber, connected to some fixture. Either way, if that's all that's broken, you'll just need to replace that cap. Are there any plumbing fixtures close to this pipe?
The trap is likely frozen on your master tub drain. Any single handle tub/shower valve will have an anti-scalding feature that shuts down the flow if water is coming from only one side.
This is a catastrophe far worse than most people realize. Broken water pipes, tankless water heaters freezing on the outside of houses that have no power, shortages of all the materials needed to fix the broken pipes, never enough plumbers. It's going to be fucking biblical. Some people are going to be without water for a while until all this shit can be fixed. This will certainly be the worst natural disaster in the history of Austin and will be one of the worst ever in Texas. The power losses make it so much worse than it would've been otherwise. I'd like to think Abbott's head will roll but I'm sure most people will blame the hippies for wind and solar or the Austin City Council or some shit.
GQP is about rubbing January 6th in your Trump voting face forever. You voted for 4 or more years of that shit over boring politics. You either have unbelievably shitty judgement or you're cool with the end of democracy as we've known it.
It probably helps Beto that Texas won't have a US Senate race in 2022 since it's highly unlikely Texas Dems will field a candidate that helps the ticket.
Republicans are going to portray him as anti-gun no matter what so he might as well own what he said and clarify that he's only talking about AKs and AR-15s.
Edited to add that if you go hunting for a photo op, you'd better be someone that can sell it. John Kerry wasn't helped by his goose hunt. Same for John Mackovic with the turkeys.
If you believe in End Times theology,
If you're obsessed with implements of killing,
If you find yourself talking about how it will all be revealed on such and such a day,
If you're slapping skull stickers all over everything,
You might be in a fucking Death Cult.
And not a cool one like Thulsa Doom's outfit where at least you get laid.
Nice metaphor. If I recall, you voted for the tsunami of sewage over the calm ocean. If the election were today, how would you vote? Sincere apologies if I'm mistaken.
