      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.

    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?

    That Cruz?

    As long as Texans are dumb enough to vote for this asshole again and again, he does not need to worry.

      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.

      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.

    Patterns like this are why people notice optics so quickly—leadership moments tend to stand out most when things get tough

    ~~He said he will be back before the storm… so he is going on a 24hr vacation out if the country? ~~

    Edit: Oh I thought I read cancun somewhere

      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.

        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.

        I wonder how long the flight was.

        “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!”
