Texas power outages and Ted Cruz travel agency

The Texas GOP is making a huge mistake if they think Texas is a deep red state. It’s not red like North Dakota or something like that.

That works better on “Global Warming”.

At the risk of sending the entire site’s stock of lawnmowers into orbit…

If that’s him and I think it is but it’s hard to tell for sure, there is no defense for this.

This story has been out for a couple hours and there’s been no confirmation and no denial from anybody. Kind of makes me think it’s really him. If it wasn’t him there’s be someone saying he’s at home or something but it’s just silence.

Are there are a lot of angry people in Texas with access to firearms or am I misreading the situation?

They probably already tried shooting the cold

I’m all for shitting on Ted and he deserves it. I’m even LOL’ing at the optics. Like, WTF dude. Make a few calls and pretend to care, even if you give zero shits.

That said, is there anything he can actually do? Like, I don’t blame him for saying “Fuck it, let’s go on vacation.” I mean he might as well. Know what I mean?

I already thought of that, I came up with talking to the locals about what they need, then conveying that to FEMA.

Holy Guacamole. Canadian Ted is vacationing in Mexico while his constituents get turned out?

Would also note this is what Congress is doing instead of Pandemic Relief. They had to rush out of DC and leave the country in a lurch so Cruz could hurry home and leave Texas in a double lurch.

Surprised Cruz didn’t say, “I left to leave more electricity for everyone else.”

The fact that he doesn’t believe he needs to be on hand to help deal with any contingencies makes him a failure.

But honestly the optics alone are enough.

I was assured by people on this very site these recesses were for spending time with their constituents so this can’t be right.
