Re: 10”?

I think we're going to see a lot of (bad) news out of Texas, especially Houston and perhaps Austin, MCRF. You are 100% right. There are about 2.5 million power outages in the state of Texas right now. It's going to get down to 10 degrees in downtown Houston (!!!) tonight. Today is the coldest Febru...

Re: TC Talks - what do you have against white people?

So you're a conservative white person representing the interests of people of color? Do you have any evidence to support your perspective? I can offer you the BLM movement to refute pretty much anything you might offer. That's incorrect. I'm farther left than Joe Biden and I'm not white. I am, howe...

Re: 10”?

This storm is probably going to end up stronger than anticipated. Right now there's heavy once-in-a-generation snow falling in Monterrey, Mexico and San Antonio, Texas. A quick diagnostic for the upper level setup is looking at the approximate height of the 500 mb level (the level at which half of t...

Re: TC Talks - what do you have against white people?

People of color see through the bullshit. Being educated and attending implicit bias trainings has little effective impact in the reduction of racial disparities. If it's easy to pick on the "uneducated" or "southern culture," that's mostly your elitism and classism showing - which is another unacce...

Re: Cazzo Cuomo Caught

Can't we admit wrong is wrong and get off each other's throats? There's no defending the Cuomo or Whitmer on this topic. Just because a Republican is wrong doesn't mean a Democrat is right. Celebrating who's less wrong in this context is just poor taste. The decision to leave less severe COVID cases...

Re: Trump’s Defense Team Sucks

In Presidential Impeachment Trial history, only one member of the President's party has ever voted to convict. That's Senator Mitt Romney against Donald Trump in his first trial. Regardless of the outcome of this trial, we are poised to see the most bipartisan vote for conviction in Impeachment Tria...

Re: Not Enough Evidence to Impeach/Convict Trump

It's not about the removal from office as much as it is about the barring from holding future office part post conviction, which is essentially what is the only function that the Senate has in the impeachment process.

Re: Not Enough Evidence to Impeach/Convict Trump

They believed in the value of a peaceful transition. Hmmm...that's odd; I don't seem to recall Trump being forcibly hauled out of the White House on his last day. To Trump's credit, he did leave the White House on his own volition and did so peacefully. However, whether or not Trump truly committed...

Re: We are wasting our time

That wasn't even what I meant. The fact that there are a large group of newscasters that ARE reporting facts and are simply denied because of the company they work for is asinine. Not everyone from Fox News is garbage. I appreciate Chris Wallace. Some of these people can't even speak to one person ...

Re: Not Enough Evidence to Impeach/Convict Trump

I just had a debate with a conservative friend about this issue this evening, and their underlying assumption is whether or not Trump's post-election behavior, as outlined by the Article of Impeachment, crosses the threshold into criminality. I'm not a lawyer/prosecutor, and what I've heard from the...

Re: We are wasting our time

I meant succeed as a society. I don't want to pick on you because I do think some of the insults thrown your way on this board (before I began posting) were certainly offensive and out of line - and should be called out. But, I do disagree with you if your implication is that the conservative membe...

Re: Not Enough Evidence to Impeach/Convict Trump

From a broad point of view, I do strongly believe that we need to reign in the powers of the executive branch, and have some sort of mechanism of accountability beyond elections - and it's frustrating that this work is left almost exclusively to the executive branch (aside from the Chief Justice pre...
