Here is a great quick take on the results of the impeachment trial by David Frum. He lays out a good case for, “It’ll Do.”
@lowtide At the risk of being "that guy", that's what the German gov't said in 1923. Ten years later...
Typical Libra seeking balance I see why it was done the way it is done...
Oh my gosh Journey, LibraLink!!! As I was reading your Part One I was thinking about the very same comment from Stacy Plaskett...then on to Part two and there it was! Everything else you said was as it had been in my own mind and heart as well. Love it when direct resonance occurs (with or without great LibraLink! ? ) THIS is part of why I love this forum. ? ❤️
The NAACP has brought the lawsuit against the Orange One, Giuliani, The Proud Boys, and the Oath Keepers on behalf of Congressional Rep. Bennie G. Thompson using the KKK Act of 1871. Teri Kanefield has a short thread on it here with a link to the filing:

I know it's wrong, but there is something immensely satisfying watching T. viciously turn on people like Moscow Mitch. Got no tears for MM, at all...he turned a blind eye to every nasty illegal thing T. did, when he wasn't actively aiding and abetting his fascist agenda. It really is a Fatal Attractions situation with these sycophants and T.
You can keep a wild animal for years and you think you're ok, and you might be for a time, but the chance that animal is going to turn on you is always there, and will probably happen at some point.
Fox the conservative fuel industry panderers have been trying to blame renewable energy on the Texas power outages. That is another GOP lie. It is a lack of preparedness by the whole Texas utility grid system which translates into bigger profits for their utility industry, as well as the Lone Star State's unwillingness to cooperate with other states which, if reciprocal systems had been set up, could have bailed them out during a weather crisis.
As if on cue, Repubs are saying that the frozen wind turbines mean that renewables are no good. But in states that are prepared for cold weather, they simply de-ice their wind turbines. Also the wind turbines are far down the list of what went wrong.
Frozen wind turbines aren't why Texas can't keep the lights on
@jeanne-mayell curious, was this what you were thinking about when you got the premonition of Texas! Texas! Texas!
@jsr78 I had the very same thought! Didn’t have time to look up the details, but one of my first thoughts on hearing of the storms and power outages and widespread problems was that Texas, Texas, Texas! prediction!
Worried that the GoP is trying to twist things around again though saying it is ts wind-turbines that are faulty and climate change isn't real....
