Watching mainstream media, that David Ignatius article was definitely the start of something. New Fox News poll went from a Biden +3 to a Trump +2(his first ever lead in a Fox poll), Quinnipiac went from a Biden +4 to a Biden +1, Messenger from a Biden +1 to a Trump +1. You have the press asking KJP and Kirby about Biden's lies about the collapsing bridge, 911, and other things, you have CNN talking about the lies as well. You have ABC talking about how Fani Willis case in Georgia is pretty bad and she had a big loss in court today because all the indicted won't have their trials at the same time.

It's far, far too late for this to be honest. It is obvious Joe has been found to have outlived his usefulness and the Oligarchs are just working on how to remove him before the election so they can run Kamala.

I would guess that it might also be a case of them being scared of the impeachment. Not of it working, but of it even being tried because of how it undermines their case about how bad Trump was for getting impeached.

Mild autism so you can be more accurate next time
Heroin and other opiates are analgesics, not anesthetics. Analgesia is when you decrease the amount of perceived pain; anesthesia is when you cut the sensation entirely, can be localized like the dentist's, or other nerve "blocks", or general like for big surgery when you're "asleep" (more like unconscious) for hours.

>heroin was a mysterious drug that kept jazz musicians up all night

...what? Is this how they tried to scare monger over it back in the day? Really? Heroin is a anesthetic type not cocaine the fuck was this boomer even saying? It's not even GOOD scare mongering it doesn't show off the problem of Heroin correctly nor does it showcase the dangers of it. If anything the ad makes it sounds like comparing Heroin to Polio is being extremely tone deaf and like you are saying Polio was barely a problem.

This dude been retarded for longer than most of us have been alive lol

It doesn't happen often but its not entirely out of the realm of possibility that some musicians did react that way to heroin. Its an opiate and therefore a CNS depressant so it should be having the opposite effect. However in some people opiates have the opposite effect and they have a reaction to it as if it was a stimulant. a former neighbor of mine was like that. Was prescribed it after a bad car accident and found out pretty fast her reaction to morphine like that. You'd think she was on meth the way she'd get antsy as fuck and be practically tweaking after taking it. Its not a common reaction but it does happen. It stands to reason it could have happened with a musician or two and somebody got confused who didn't know anything about these drugs and assumed that was how heroin worked normally as well

Texas has uniquely spergy Republicans. Bush's name is poison here now, and this is petty revenge for Paxton curbstomping the revival attempt. Also, the Texas Senate does not like the Texas House and vice versa. Even though they are both Republican, they do not work in lockstep. It's one reason Texas is such a healthy state.

Well, other than the electricity issues due to the Republicans *checks notes* going all-in on wind and solar.

Kennedy is batshit insane and anyone who agrees with him is also batshit insane. He also favors higher taxes for the rich, which would send you MAGAtards into a frothing frenzy.

We may despise him for different reasons, but I'm glad we can find common ground despite our ideological differences.

Fuck RFK.

Well, yes, of course. The outages that do happen are local and the result of downed power lines and natural disasters and such. The Texas grid itself is doing fine in terms of capacity and does not suffer from rolling blackouts or brown outs. Once every couple of decades something fucks up but that is everywhere.

This is just another forced media narrative. Glowies are still extremely assmad that Texas is on a separate grid. I can’t imagine it would actually make a difference in a catastrophic scenario, but Beto’s Texas governor run was almost all about handing over as much control as possible to federal entities and connecting to the national grid.

Meanwhile 2 separate blue states have burned to the ground because of their power grid maintenance failures, so they have to bring up Texas having a problem with a once in a century freeze every time to compensate.

No.

The texas grid is capable of delivering 300% of the power needed.
It is running in a literally crippled state due to "emissions standards" Obama imposed on power plants.

They could have easily dialed the output from 33% to 100% and been fine the past few mega-storms.
The problem is THEYRE CUCKS who are unwilling to just fucking do it and dare biden's insane EPA to fine them after the fact.

My understanding is the supreme court struck down these standards last year, but I don't trust the cucks in the texas state house to grow a pair even with that court ruling.

The cynic in me wonders if there are internal whispering floating around that the DNC was alerted to that MSNBC/CNN might be thinking about the money they can make on a Biden impeachment ala Clinton's and might actually cover it fairly purely for financial gains.

it probably would make a lot of money. maybe make a business model of being objective financially viable.

The problem is the wind didn't blow this summer, so the gas plants were running full bore with no chance to take the turbines offline for maintenance. Now they're behind on maintenance, and they have no choice due to safety concerns. The Republicans built those wind turbines. Obama didn't force them to do it. Texas went hard for wind power at the end of the Bush administration, before Obama was even sworn in. Sure, Obama sweetened the deal more during his administration with more subsidies and incentives, but let's not pretend he was twisting anyone's arm.

There wasn't any freeze this summer. It was over a hundred almost every day.

Wind didn't blow.

Wind power is fucking stupid.

Going yee-haw and taking your AR-15 collection to gun range with your giant "Don't Mess With Texas" sticker on your F-150 doesn't make wind power stop being fucking stupid and causing all the problems it's been causing in Texas lately. I swear to God, a conservative is just a liberal who thinks shouting "God, guns, and patriotism!" turns things like "green" energy and female suffrage into good ideas.

All these goddamned wind farms idling all over the state are a testament to the fact that it doesn't matter how big the Republican majority is, your government is going to chase liberal bullshit anyway. The only difference between a red state and a blue state is how fast you get to the progressive shangri-la.
