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.
I imagine the feds can make a few cases for public urination. I doubt if there were sufficient facilities for that many people. Any of the rioters seen pissing on camera could maybe be charged as sex offenders.
Six Pack starring Kenny Rogers? I don't remember the husky kid or Russ Griswold being in it. Edited to add that I've just learned that Anthony Michael Hall was the original Russ. Don't know how I never realized that.
The power of lean economics is some pretty great spin for saying you're broke. I've got to steal that.
"Sorry I didn't make it out today. Truck wouldn't start. Can I get an advance to buy materials for the job? My guys quit because I haven't paid them in a few weeks. Behold the power of lean economics."
