Is this that same Cruz who called to stop attacking pedofiles? The same one who went to Cancun? The one ended up working like a dog for a man who insulted his wife? Or is it the one who staged immigrants crossing the border?
And they are, which is so fucking frustrating. I will never not be salty about Colin Allred losing to him. I really thought they'd be irate over him fleeing Snowpocalypse and Texans actively dying INSIDE their homes in 2021.
But no, he won the fucking popular vote. Again.
Also, as someone who moved from Texas to Cali: Fuck off Fled Cruz we don't fucking want you or your ilk in this state.
Also, also, I find it extremely funny that he's leaving Texas ahead of the winter storm again, and I'm heading back to Texas tomorrow to surprise a friend for her birthday. I wish I wasnt living through Snowmaggeden 2: Electric Boogaloo to be quite honest.
There are plenty of Texans who vote left or can be persuaded to as well. I've learned recently that Texas politics are way more nuanced than I realized. The good Texans that want to work together should be invited into the coalition.
It is a lack of popular reform candidates that loses. The dems run as republican light, not champion of workers. Nothing will change their strategy either they need to be forced out of the party but it is too late with elections being rigged.
Ah yes the yearly service interruptions brought to you by the superior free market.
What is wrong with a company spiking the price of electricity by 4,000%? Don't like it just switch to another company that will do the same thing. Choice is wonderful.
You second college class in MacroEcon, or an AP Macro Econ course... generally goes over how cartels are bad, and the government tends to run utilities because if they don't, you get the exact situation that Texas has.
The last time hell Texas froze over Centerpoint Energy decided to socialize their losses to all of their customers, including those not in Texas. I live in MN and I had to pay for their stupidity. And what other company? Lucky you getting a choice which company fucks you over.
Damn renewable energy! Thank god dynamic pricing will keep energy companies going, those 10k dollar bills for one week after the grid mostly fails because they declined to winterize their infrstructure blessedly help repair the grid! (Or some shit, what are we going with on this again?)
Hope you all have automatic withdrawala on your accounts still, suckers. /s
And he'll still get re-elected. He doesn't give a fuck about his supporters but they don't care. Being left for dead in the cold is still better than voting for a lib amirite?
It is always astounding how cheap they are willing to sell their souls and self-respect. But I guess it is so cheap because there was nothing there to begin with.
Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. It really only works in the South though. Trying to think of what the New England equivalent would be... Dunks index? Society would start breaking down if the plow guys can't get their iced coffee fix. Cup rattling sounds
And coach, at that. Makes me wonder if it's AI. But congresspeople aren't always lavish and rich outside of their day jobs, and we know that Cruz is a glutton for degradation.
"Hey Ted, Ted, Ted, Ted, Ted, Ted Cruz....can you hear me?... hey! hey! Ted! TED! TEDDY! Remember when Trump called your wife a fat pig? Hey, answer me! Hey, Ted listen, listen, listen, listen, over here Ted....Hey. Hey. Ted, will none of those rich dudes let you barrow a private jet? Do you clog the toilets up or what? Ted, Ted, Ted, Teddy! Teddo! Teddoboy!"
Absolutely real. There are other publicly documented flights, including well before any genai bordering realism. It’s a pattern. He does travel with at least guard at times, maybe always. There was a somewhat recent pic with his wife looking pretty annoyed at the dude snapping the shot. Made me smile imagining that she probably argues with him to have more separation from the pleebs somehow, but he is too cheap or some shit.
Honestly, patterns like this feel funny because they tap into shared experience—people notice routines and coincidences. Even if it’s tongue-in-cheek, it’s a reminder how we all look for signals when things feel uncertain.
Three areas if you're pink you're so screwed. Get food and hunker down for a week. Light pink? You're only lightly screwed. Green, prepare to swim.
Next time pick a politician who can control the weat...actually, Ned Rooze can't control thr weather so he is practically useless. I can understand him leaving. He's what we would call a chicken.
Having a house made out of bricks and cement would be useful just like how it is in EU.
How many houses get destroyed because they are just made out of wood, plastics and paper walls (dry wall)?

Last time I was there, Laguna Beach was very much inside of the US, ridiculous right wing rhetoric about California being "unamerican" aside.
