If Texans would just get off their lazy asses and shovel the roads there wouldn’t be an emergency. It’s up to the states to solve their problems. But we can offer some people from immigrant jails to help.

"why should we pay for this bad budgeting" - Republicans? lol...
Nah, it's cool. Texas isn't a bunch of coastal cities, so obviously no libruhl elites living there. We can fund them.

And maybe Uncle Joe will toss some paper towel rolls at people and act like he did them a favor. :laughing:

Is that it?
The problem is not the amount of snow. The problem is that they had severe icing followed by very low temperatures. Lots of power outages and peoples' pipes are going to freeze because they don't bury their pipe in Houston like they do in northern states. Also anyone without power does not have heat and the temps are dropping into the 20s.

Edit - we are supposed to get 8-12 inches in the next 24 hrs in Chicago. Everything here will be fine because our infrastructure is built to withstand it.

Pussified southerners and their winter snow disasters, too funny.

Yes, now thank the nice president Texas. See how he didn't make an 'emergency' political, or offer the assistance to Russia instead?

Doing his damn job, what a fucking concept.

I have friends in Dallas, I'm well aware. Just making fun of the snow totals. I've always hated ice much more than snow and the longest power outages I had in Kansas City were due to ice storms.

They don't have the equipment to handle it, either. Homeless people all across the affected region are in serious danger of dying, too.
