Watch The 11th Hour With Brian Williams Highlights: February 17 | MSNBC
Sadly….. “homeless” families have endured these conditions for many seasons.
Aww just think, Trump could of been there throwing bottles of water at them if he was still president.
You mean paper towels for blankets.
He would have frozen them first.
Bottles of frozen water…
6:37 Jesus Christ! He has a cowboy hat behind him in his trophy case!! 4 books..
I was at the dentist office the other day and a guy had a belt buckle the size of a frisbee. I didn’t think people still did that.
Cruz needs to be left out the COLD 🥶 🥶for days with his til power comes on what a terrible senator 😈
Also a terrible example of a human being.
The lack of a timetable bothered me. They gave the impression that it could go on forever and that they had no plan. They should have been over communicating the status. Knowing your powers going to be out for another 36 hours is different than well your power will be back on sometime… We don’t know when.
What can Texans do to prevent this happening again? Prevent the rich from choosing to earn more money, rather than fixing the system? (It wasn’t fixed last time.)
VOTE OUT THE REPUBLIKKKANS! (Houstonian 🙋🏻♂️)
They could have tested the system in panels or blocks to see how each one would handle the situation. If New Orleans can fix their flood problems. Then Texas should be able to fix their power and water problems.
No more $$$ for Disney or KATHLEEN KENNEDY #DISNEYCANCELLED!!!!!
Texas Republicans in 2021: “There was no way to predict this would happen!”
Winter Storm that shut down power in 2011: 🙄
Winter Storm that shut down power in 1989: 🙄 🙄
Texas Republicans in 2021: We’ve tried absolutely nothing and now we’re all out of ideas.
no way to predict SURE SURE
GEE THANK YOU SMARTASS 🤦♀️🙄 I’ve had ZERO power for 4 days! And…its been like 2-18 degrees!
💩🤡😡
Republicans: the Party of Death.
Exactly.
You mean to say that you couldn’t already tell that by just looking at Mitch McConnell?
Somewhere between … who could have seen this comming … and they did see it coming … now to spinn it to blame democracy…
If your one of THEM … you know now that there goal is to bring down democracy by any means necessary.
What a pathetic bunch of govt Reps you have. Trump didn’t drain the swamp, he deepened it.
Added to it immensely!!!
This is what happens when you think your the greatest state in the union
@Michael Kurchak yes and apparently they don’t want the Federal Government in their business! So it makes you wonder what they are up to in Texas.
Everyday American seems to find a way to look more and more like a third world country.
Does the GOP still think that Americans don’t need that $1400?
But Ted Cruz is OK in Cancun!!! Doesn’t that give everyone in Texas a nice warm fuzzy feeling.. ?? It should..
I think Mexico is seriously considering building that wall.
I voted 🗳 Beto in 2018!
that Governor is soooooo full of SH..! As sooooo many politicians — ALWAYS SOMEBODY ELSES’ FAULT…..SHAME ON HIM….SHAME ON HIM!!!
Mother Earth has the last laugh, sorry I need to cleansed Texas.
Is there a spirit in this room? Wake up and answer me.
Couldn’t we at least start with Florida?
EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS—-ESPECIALLY STUPID
Hey! My boss works out of Houston.
(Which come to think of it, proves your point)
If the power companies – essential services – won’t invest the needed money in to having back-up emergency generation capacity,
they have to be forced in to it. For affected counties, fine the companies a million dollars per county per day.
That should get their attention.
“great” state? Texas has known for at least 10 years that their power grid wouldn’t survive a winter storm like this. and they did nothing.
It is the Texas Government who are at fault!!! Just blame them and HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!!!
We’ve been out for four or five days so he’s out of his mind and he needs to go somewhere else and I will say that because I am a Texan and that is not OK don’t do the blame game were suffering and surviving he needs to do his part and serve the citizens that he was appointed to serve
