Pflugerville Mayor: 'Texans Would Have Never Planned To Forecast This In Their Life' | Craig Melvin
we been warning you for years. don’t act all surprised.
This happened 10 years ago. Are Texans incapable of learning lessons?
goldfish
Looks like most of the U.S. doesn’t have a very high opinion of Texans.
Republicans never learn. I mean Trump lost them the House, Senate, and White House, and they still think Trump is the way forward. It’s unbelievable…
They favored trump TWICE. They reelected Cruz. And Texans love those two. No, they don’t learn.
They know there is no accountability. Why worry about changing.
A mayor in Texas actually told his town to stop complaining and deal with it themselves. Why do idiots feel the need to ruin themselves on twitter when they never had to send any tweet at all?
That mayor was right. Stop whining because you did to yourself but by electing MORONS for Governor, state representatives and Republican Senators like Ted Cruz who is enjoying vacation in Mexico. Trump says Mexican are dangerous but they enjoy their vacation in Mexico instead of Hawaii, a state of America. See how stupid the Texans are!
Some people just have to be who they are.
It follows that some idiots just have to be idiots. They can’t help it.
Well, at least they can’t say THIS isn’t happening…..a whole state shut down because of ideology!
They already started to blame it on windmills. And Texans will again vote for Republicans until death do them part.
…because of corporate greed, ideology in practice.
It’s because of windmills and AOC! It happened because of the progressives 🤪😂😂
Gov Abbott: “This is all because of windmills!”
Former Gov Perry: “Texans would rather go without power, water, and food than be a slave to the federal government!”
Ted Cruz: “I’ll have another margarita, por favor.”
Texans: 🤦 🙄
@Jimmy Spencer yeah this is once in a lifetime storm for Texas yet California have power outages all the time . You really want to make this political ?
Mr. Perry has learned how to dance in fancy clothes; what have you learned, freezing?
@N W this could have been prevented. Most of it anyway.
@N W Where is the comparison? What was the scale of any one California power outage? Were any of them life and death situations that affected millions of people for days like this Texas fiasco?
@N W Actually, Texas state-wide lost power in 2011 due to a winter storm. So, they had 9 years to winterize their equipment. But guess what? Because they aren’t part of the federal system and don’t have to follow those regulations, they didn’t.

Almost , like,, you know, the CLimate is , ya know, Changing, or somethin’ like
Why did no one warn us of this?
Yes earth’s core is heating up & gamma rays & charged particles are blasting us! Go figure oh yes don’t forget every planet in our system is heating up I guess we did that also!!!!!
Yeah cos the climate change specifically targets republican states never democratic states
@N W Super storm Sandy???? Liberalism is a mental illness!!!! California wildfires? Snow in Saudi Arabia……your joking right????
We’ve only been talking about climate change for fifty or more years. More, I’m sure. Nobody wanted to listen and Texas in particular doesn’t want to give up anything to deal with it. You wanted to rule your own roost. You didn’t want to help hurricane victims in other states. Don’t whine now. Send some trucks and bring in supplies.
Hey Texas legislators is your “ climate changing?”
Cruz’ is! He just got to cancun!
Holland: come to holland, we will train Texans how to operate windmills without freezing up in winter
Lol, they can travel to Michigan or Iowa to learn. Texas Governor thinks the constituents are stupid.
@Runner Girl They are.
wait a minute partner from what i understand that’d be up north, and sir i ain’t never gonna be no yankee, no sir!!
Wind turbines are doing just fine in Illinois, Texas wanted to go cheap and not weatherize their infrastructure.
Could this unexpected weather be considered “climate change?”
thirdeyeopen definitely
Ha ha
Yes, although it wasn’t unexpected.
Dunnnnnnn dunnnn dunnn
On Thursday, NASA’s Perseverance rover has successfully landed at the Jezero Crater on Mars at 20:55 GMT, after 7 minutes of terror.
Well get used to it. You’ve been warned repeatedly this was coming and you chose to ignore it.
Maybe if the NFL and the NCAA start football season this week Texans will forget all about the current problems?
It,s all the Gun Nuts fault. While Ted Crux sips the big one in Cancun.
What’s wrong with Texans, they keep voting trashy republicans like abbot, Cruz, Perry. Educate yourselves Texans.
Amen. Says the graduate of Robert E. Lee High School in Midland.
They think because they are republicans they have to be good…
The power of 30+ years of fox propaganda. They believe that any republican is better than any democrat.
Anti- science, anti-fact, anti-regulation, anti- infrastructure investment = 3 rd world country ( apology to the 3rd world country). Houston, Texas has a problem.
The parts of Texas that have electricity are the parts that Republicans haven’t dismantled yet.
When you elect people that think that Government is good for nothing, unsurprisingly, you get a government that is good for nothing.
How Gullible can people be to believe in these people… I do hope they remember this nightmare on the next voting day in their districts…
Texans: “But…..but…..trump told us that ‘climate change’ is a myth!”
