Arizona state Rep. Joseph Chaplik (R-Natch) wants to know why, if masks are so goddamn important and effective, didn't we wear them in the 80s because of HIV and AIDS. Huh? Why didn't we?!

ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION.

Texans facing those unexpected bills were hoping that Texas' utility regulator would retroactively reduce the electricity market prices. But on Friday, the state's Public Utility Commission chose to let the charges stand.

It might seem like retroactively reducing the charges would be good for consumers, said Texas PUC Chairman Arthur D'Andrea during Friday's public meeting. But, he argued, that reflects a "simplistic" view of how Texas power markets work.

"We just see the tip of the iceberg," D'Andrea said. "You don't know who you're hurting. You think you're protecting the consumer and turns out you're bankrupting a co-op or a city. And so it's dangerous, after something is run, to go around and redo it."

The PUC itself had authorized the wholesale price increase, hoping it would spur power companies to generate more electricity. But according to the state's independent market monitor, prices were kept high for much longer than necessary.

So lets be clear, the PUC jacked the price up to maximum hoping to encourage suppliers to produce more electricity LOL

This was laughingly stupid and as a result consumers of electricity were fucked with no upside, because it wasn't like the electric grid was operating below capacity and they would just produce more power if they were paid more.

meanwhile end consumers of their deregulated only to the state line of Texas in order to avoid federal regulations power grid have contracts where they assume huge risks for a very small savings.

But the thing is, while it is a fucking mess, if you protect the consumer who has that fucked up electric bill because of shit beyond their control, you do indeed protect them even if that protection bankrupts the person's creditors.

Another way of saying that is that you think you are protecting the consumer and you are.

"This time they will surely spend the windfall exclusively on electric power generation, transmission, and distribution. This time - THIS TIME - they will NOT spend it all on bonuses and daily lunchtime handjobs from sex-trafficked teenagers at the 'massage parior' for all the executives. Yes. This time will be very, very different."

“If you want to make it a little bit more painful, make him stand there and talk,” Manchin said. “I'm willing to look at any way we can, but I'm not willing to take away the involvement of the minority.”

Manchin is a staunch protector of of minority's rights, so long as the minority is rich white dudes.

It makes me want to punch him in his ignorant fucking face.

For anyone who cannot get enough of Piers Morgan being a manbaby:

No wonder they can't wear masks. They can barely breath with their mouth wide open.

Right-wing extremists, including many who stormed the Capitol, used millions of dollars of Pandemic Protection loans to fund extremist activities.

Sean Davis did not tweet "mommy milky." Sean Davis is surely not an adult babby fetishist. And under no circumstances does Sean Davis look exactly like how one would picture an adult babby fetishist looking. No, sir. No way, no how.

As secretary of state, I consistently led the fight to protect Georgia elections against power-hungry, partisan activists.”

Now Georgia’s current Secretary of State said the past election was secure, so maybe they are trying to preserve the sanctity, the purity, the whiteness of the electorate.

I think he was sort of saying the truth with that appeal to sanctity.

'Jim Crow in the 21st century': Biden denounces Georgia Republicans over new voting law | Georgia | The Guardian

I think it’s probably necessary to say stupid shit in defense of obvious bigotry because open appeals to bigotry are out these days.

Ronna McDaniel, the chair of the Republican National Committee, which recently launched a new effort to coordinate new restrictive voting laws, offered a full-throated defense of the measure on Friday. She pointed to a provision on the bill that expands early voting hours on the weekends to argue that the measure overall made it easier to vote.

Yall also decreased the number of days of early voting, dipshit. And cherry picking one thing doesn’t make all the targeted disenfranchisement go away.

Sure I mean, it’s not like a roving gang would have their own AR-15s and the ability to block you from getting more food, water or ammo until you surrender or die because you’re the only house left. That never happens.

[Kamilah Hauptmann]

And surely never go after the biggest threat first in a surprise attack. That’s crazy talk.
