    • According to an arrest affidavit, a witness, who was described as Fournier's roommate, said he heard the alleged victim attempting to wake up Fournier and Fournier allegedly screaming, "Don't touch me, woman!" and "Do you want me to crush your head in with this lamp?"

    they all suck Trump’s nuts from the back and get nothing in return

    Nancy Mace did everything short of giving Trump a tongue bath, and she can’t even get an endorsement?

    I have no doubt that every single person Trump calls dumb would beat him on any spelling test or reading comprehension test. In fact, I'd love to see him try and beat any single one of them on a memory recall test, science, history, or geography test.

    I'll put this right up there with Trump bragging about acing his dementia test 4 times.

    it’s incredible the spell Trump has on the MAGAts…grown ass “men” on their knees for him 24/7, and as always, Trump stabs them in the back or screws over his supporters with his policies

    yet another lemming who got their MAGAt wake up call

    I am slightly shocked by this level of intelligence:

    https://www.texastribune.org/2026/06/10/texas-greg-abbott-data-centers-regulation-sales-tax/

    Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday released sweeping regulatory recommendations on data centers for the Legislature to pass in the 2027 session, as Texas grapples with an explosion of artificial intelligence-driven development and soaring power demands.

    In a letter to state regulators, Abbott outlined a series of proposals designed to ensure data centers shoulder the costs of their growth rather than Texas ratepayers.

    Among his legislative priorities:

    • requiring new facilities to add power generation to the state’s power grid
    • requiring data centers pay for their own grid interconnection and infrastructure costs
    • mandating the use of “closed-loop” water systems, which draw a large amount of water at the start but reuse it over some period of years
    • require annual reporting by all data centers on electricity and water use
    • establishing best-practice standards to address community concerns like noise
    • repealing data center sales tax exemptions and “other outdated or unnecessary incentives for data centers”

    They are good ideas. My understanding is we are nearing the "end of the line" for new data centers entering the planning stage for the forseable future, so I'm not sure it'll mater.

    Also, Abbott seemed really traumatized by all the blame he got when the grid colapsed and Lyin' Ted flew to Cancun. The next year they had a proactive plan in place to blame Dems in liberal cities before the winter even began. I imagine that the vunerability of the grid is one of those areas that he is very protectively aware of after that.

    I know nothing about the truthfullness or feasibility of any of this, but I did see an article recently saying China is testing their first "offshore, underwater, wind-powered" data center.

    eta, yep:

    He acts like he actually cares somewhat.
