D line still needs a huge upgrade. Hope there are some other good options out there that will cost half the price of Watt.

Wait, a guy just said this. On Twitter? And then somebody collected a whole bunch of other guys with the same kinds of beliefs and they said the same kinds of things?
Wow, must be true.
Whatever we do, we shouldn't wait for a thoughtful, nuanced job of reporting on it, with evidence and context.
After all, if there's one thing we know it's that nobody on either side of any issue ever goes on Twitter trying everything they can to twist situations and spin quotes and evidence to create outrage.
That would never happen.
Instead we need to start screaming immediately. That way we maximize the chances that ... um, that ... that we will scream a lot, I guess, and that so will others. That's the way to go. Don't wait for context!!! Scream, piss and moan!! And hurry!!! If we don't mindlessly howl and rant now, we might have to calm down and think, and that's the last thing public discourse needs.
Great post. Has there been an update with the shocking whistleblower documents yet?

This must be being paid for by the tax generated from the jump in gas prices since Jan. .60 + cents in a month not to bad by the end of next month it should be back up to $3.00 a gallon and with the extra tax money then Portland & Seattle can make life in the great western states even more appealing .
No doubt about it- the oil industry is colluding with the Downtown Emergency Service Center in Seattle.

Nah.
They will remember this clown as perpetuating the biggest sham in the history of the planet on us.
You guys on Earth 2 can play make believe that Trump caused the "outbreak" that Cuomo was praised for handling, Germany, and others that saw the exact same proportion of cases as everyone else but China who is allowed to continue to lie and not be called out by Xiden.
Oh......And this.....
The thing is Fauci was always right.
But he was part of the deep state insurrection, and saw masks became a political weapon in order to make Karen (the U.S. has too many of these) feel safe when she goes to Target.
Trump tweeted optimistim tho how dare he!!!!!!!
He should have used his Authoritarian powers to end impeachment and immediately save America from the biology.
Meanwhile, on Earth 2...they continue to traumatize children and beclown themselves
How much per month do you spend on tinfoil?

What spin do you see in the article you posted? I'll go line by line until I get tired....
https://apnews.com/article/b0cdc326db95bf25d93de9e877e05862
DALLAS (AP) — With Texas paralyzed by a winter storm, Sen. Ted Cruz took his family on vacation to Cancun, Mexico, drawing criticism from leaders in both parties and potentially damaging his political ambitions. Fact
In a statement on Thursday, Cruz said he was returning to Texas. He said he accompanied his family to Mexico a day earlier after his daughters asked to go on a trip with friends, given that school was canceled for the week. Fact
“Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon,” Cruz said. Fact
“My staff and I are in constant communication with state and local leaders to get to the bottom of what happened in Texas,” he continued. “We want our power back, our water on, and our homes warm.” Fact
Cruz addressed his travels only hours after The Associated Press and other media outlets reported that he had traveled to Cancun on Wednesday, with hundreds of thousands of Texans still grappling with the fallout of a winter storm that crippled the state’s power grid and killed more than three dozen people, some while trying to keep warm. Fact
The statement did little to quell a fierce political backlash that comes as Cruz eyes a second presidential run in 2024. He was already one of the most villainized Republicans in Congress, having created adversaries across the political spectrum in a political career defined by far-right policies and fights with the political establishment. Fact
More recently, he emerged as a leader in former President Donald Trump’s push to overturn the results of the November election. Billboards calling for his resignation stood along Texas highways earlier in the month. Fact
Even the state Republican Party chair declined to come to Cruz’s defense on Thursday. Fact
“That’s something that he has to answer to his constituents about,” Texas GOP Chair Allen West said when asked whether Cruz’s travel was appropriate while Texans are without power and water. Fact
“I’m here trying to take care of my family and look after my friends and others that are still without power,” West said. “That’s my focus.” Fact
Hundreds of thousands of people in Texas woke up Thursday to a fourth day without power, and a water crisis was unfolding after winter storms wreaked havoc on the state’s power grid and utilities. Fact
Maybe you can quote the part that is all spin and national inquirer like?

This Cruz triggering is hilarious.. I’m no fan of his but wow.
Also while he is directly quoted as saying his daughters had a planned get away with friends and he just traveled with them and then returned working the whole time, the stories don’t mention that... see AP headline and they only quoted the ‘took them down there’ out of context. Man AP really disappoints me... I really once believed they were reputable news source and not a the enquirer
I'm no fan of Ted Cruz but I buy his story!
So Cruz feels safe with his wife and kids being in Cancun without him, but felt he needed to chaperone them on the flight to get there with a huge luggage bag of his own?
And he bought the return ticket home this morning.

Glad to see Ted's vacation was worth diverting resources during a natural disaster

You are both cut from the same cloth. Done talking Rush - a waste of time.

I did. I found the Couric interview where he states the opposite of what you claim.

Then why did you even bring up his apology? See your post above.
To point out even you are not even living up to his incredibly low standard. When I pointed out you were incorrect in your claim that He pointed out the outrageous by being outrageous your flex was to lie. See below.
34 minutes ago, wnyguy said:You mean the claim that Fox was exaggerating his symptoms or had gone off his meds in order to appear in a political advertisement for a candidate? A claim that Fox, himself admitted to doing while appearing before Congress.
This is an example of the culture of lies and defense of lies Rush has infected the country with.
RIP, though.

I am not defending it and I know Rush apologized for his remarks, something you left out of your original comment, which you posted only to post more vitriol.
I posted my original comment to disprove your claim that he was only outrageous over things that are outrageous. Also, his "apology" (if you want to call it that) had nothing to do with why the comments were made in the first place.

Defend it all you want. Even Rush had the balls to apologize to Fox.
If you could source the bolded, that would be quite the find. Here's an interview with Couric where he states the opposite.
You must have listened to him often to twist facts so effortlessly.

If that cnn article is correct though, that 20% of power is from those sources, that kind of incremental loss isn’t handled well by large grids.
Nowhere in that article - https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/15/us/power-outages-texas-monday/index.html - does it mention or comment on what percentage of power is from wind sources.

I cannot think of a more ironic image than a iced over frozen inoperable wind turbine in Texas.
Is there a photo of said ironic image or is the ironic image just in your head?
Interesting. Why is Texas pretty much by itself?

Are you comparing a politician being censured for not doing their job to normal citizens losing their jobs for saying things that are not popular in their private life? Not an intelligent comparison.
No.
I'm comparing politicians doing their jobs who are censured because their party disapproves of their vote to cancel culture as a whole.
Why do you narrowly define cancel culture as "normal citizens losing their jobs for saying things that are not popular in their private life?" This is a part of it, yes, but when I hear about "cancel culture" in the media, it is often about citizens banding together to boycott a product (ie Goya, My Pillow) or to ignore a person (ie Kaepernick, Trump).

You do realize France is much further left ideologically than the United States?
Quite the source here as well - a Twitterite who got famous re-tweeting Trump posts a Youtube video about a NY Times article...

Texans coaching staff on Watt - bitter or truthful?
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted · Edited by 716er
Bitter
See EJ's pick 6
Not that I agree with this take, but one could make the argument that the Cardinals are closer to being a SB team (Not winner, but team) because they are in the wide open NFC and do not have to go through KC.
