You are absolutely right about where the fault lies, Rick Perry and Greg Abbott for failing to take action when action was clearly required. Now it can't be ignored or put off any further if Abbott hopes to be re elected.Still trying to figure out what 2 federal senators can do to the State government of Texas. The Federal government had nothing to do with Texas”s problems. Texas opted out of the national grid. The problem is with the decisions and lack of oversight of State government over many years.
Here is Cornyn speaking to Biden on the Senate Floor regarding his request for Biden to declare Texas a disaster area so federal dollars can be used for repairs and upgrades.
Many, but not all counties in Texas have been subsequently declared a disaster area.
This is how a US Senator brings money to the state, and likely how the Texas electrical grid will be winterized. Notice how he now says this is not a red or blue disaster. That statement I feel is directed to the Texas leadership.
The political tribalism on this site very entertaining to me and quite predictable. It has also been identified by the FBI as the root cause of self made radicalization and the formation of various hate groups, anarchists, and the insurrectionists attack on the Capital. It exists here in plain view, and you should know it's not going unnoticed by L.E.
I was aware of and watched with disdain as this tribalism started when Gingrich was Speaker of the House. He quickly became as toxic as plutonium to the GOP and was booted off the floor by his own party. The Tea Party took up the cause where Newt left off, and it flourished very dramatically more recently under the leadership of a man with a very obvious and severe mental disease, Malignant Narcissism. The constant need for attention and accolades should have been the clue, as well as instantly disowning anyone for a simple slip of the tongue, who previously had been a close ally. Those are classic hallmarks of a narcissist.
