Fuck Texas oil billionaires and ERCOT. Not one dime of taxpayer money to pay energy "bills". [View all]

These asshats need to go to prison instead of glorying in having “hit the jackpot” on energy prices they can and did charge Texans. These dirtbags should be in the streets begging for mercy and and offering to sell all of their personal property to pay for the damage they have done to Texans.

These assholes just ran the biggest scam in American history on the Texan people and think they did a good thing. This is what you get when you let republicans run stuff. EVERYTHING republicans touch turns to shit...EVERYTHING!

Don’t let them get away with this ....$17,000 for a few days of electricity? How many people died from their intentional negligence? 50? 100? Nobody knows yet. They have turned Texas into a fourth world country in the ongoing effort to strip all texans of as much cash as possible, regardless of the death toll or human pain they cause.

Fuck them, just fucking fuck them.
