I'd start with their governor, state legislators, and go on from there. But I rarely get exactly what I want.

Well, technically he had zero to do with THAT particular disaster (whether causing or solving, he's been a great big zero). If we're going to start getting rid of people on general principles, there'd be no one left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Has anyone posted the story of the three young kids who burned to death with their grandmother in Texas after the fire they lit to try and stay warm got out of control? tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thanks, he's not my type. 😁 I'll settle for getting him out of office and suitably punished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Well, some might call that suitable punishment. Although in Ted's case I'm not sure who'd be punished more, the screwer or screwee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be perfectly fine with starting with him and then abandoning the general trend when it becomes impractical. Then again, I also think we should get rid of him on the specific principles of continuing to spread lies about the 2020 election and support the Jan. 6 insurrection after the fact.

Pariah Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Perhaps you've heard the old joke, "What do you call 500 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start." Anyway, that's what I thought when I read this article. Four energy board members to resign after catastrophic Texas blackouts during winter storm As I said, a good start. Now let's see what happens with state lawmakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now let's see what happens with state lawmakers. Nothing good for now. The process to fill vacancies is...pick from names nominated by current members. Uhhh...huh. I rather suspect that all that's gonna happen is they'll pick new members in lockstep with the current "policies." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 ... who are in positions to give cushy policy positions back to their buddies. This describes so much of Texas government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
