So Texans believe that the national power grid, with it's regulations, is socialist. But getting FEMA to rescue their frozen asses when their poorly maintained system fails is not socialist.
I'm tired of bailing out people who don't believe in bail outs.

Your “tired of bailing out people who don’t believe in bail outs” statement ranks up there with “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.” I love a pithy turn of phrase. Thank you.
There's a large part of the 'devil' part of me that wanted Biden to just ignore him. 'Oh, sorry, what was that you were asking?' Like 45 ignored so many other mayors & governors when they needed help with wild fires or riots or gun violence. We 'nice people' seem to get kicked in the shins by the bully we just helped get up off the ground.
I was enjoying a scenario playing in my mind where Biden holds a press conference and says, "we are getting reports there is state called 'Texas.' Although we are not familiar with this place, apparently it's in the southern portion of the country and they need help. Be assured we are wasting no time in assembling a committee to look into this potentially serious situation!"
Yes it is very tempting but we all know even tho people voted these ignorant crooks into office - its NOT the crooks that are suffering right now - and not ALL the people who are suffering (& dying, I might add) did vote the crooks in. Sorry if I sound as if I'm chastising anyone - I'm not. I do, however, remember what it was like here in NY when we lost power years ago (before gen)! NOT fun, and WE have likely more insulation, warm clothing, and are accustomed (sort of) to colder weather! Reading about families heating with GRILLS or running their cars in the garage? Thats pretty scary stuff. Saying all that, sure would be nice if you could help the "little people" & leave the responsible politicians to fare for themselves, right?
How many Texans are you referring to? The residents of Texas are suffering at the hands of corrupt politicians. Are you seeking revenge from the people who have been lied to, used and thrown away? Our disagreement couldn't be more stark.
Unfortunately, many Americans have not experienced government working for them. Some aspects of the anti-government movement, other than right-wing rhetoric and self-interest is that often the functions of state and federal governments have been geared to the interests of the donor class, Wall St. and corporations rather than the general public. Providing many more Americans with the benefits of good government would go a long way toward a healthier and more equitable society as well as one that is less divided than ours is now.
You are partly correct. But who has elected these politicians? Of course, it may not reflect the true populace because of their active efforts at voter suppression....
Heather, I do not think that I am 'partly correct'. I don't hold the people responsible for their suffering as would would not hold Americans responsible for Trump's sins against humanity. Think of the people that you would harm.

Completely agree. It seems to only be socialist when they are not directly benefiting. Consistently hypocritical Republican.

"I'm tired of bailing out people who don't believe in bail outs."
I love that. I'm going to propagate it to my Facebook, if that's okay with you.
Okay by me.
You're a hit, Rebecca!
😂
...and was there not assistance provided from the common pool of resources when the hurricanes and floods rolled through Texas?

Dealing with naughty children!
Great post. Especially the sentence of word play.
😂😂

Every voter who elected the incompetents is guilty. Especially if they elect them again.

My response to Heather is the same for you Harry.
