Seems like every state’s GOP should find a replacement for Cornyn.

Nancy Pelosi showing premium ice cream bad? John Cornyn showing premium beef tenderloin okay? I’m confused.

I voted against Cornyn in his last TWO Primary races. He’s a POS from the word “Go!”.

What amazes me is why people feel the need to Twitter everything they do. If I had a nice dinner, the last thing in world I’d think about is putting it on social media...it seems that everyone has turned into an exhibitionist. I think the Republican establishment is a bunch of hopeless, foolish elitists, in it only for their personal wealth and aggrandizement, but I couldn’t care less what they (or anyone else) ate for dinner.

Not for a lot of people, especially right now.
I think December saw 2.5 million Americans lose their jobs.
Who knows how many small business owners, and service industry people are scraping by.

A Senator, especially a Republican, should/does understand optics. Anything that the media can use against them, they will.

There are only 100 Senators. The Senate did not pass the $2000 stimulus to Americans. If you truly don’t get it, you’re tone deaf. I don’t care what he eats, but to not understand is different.

Why a grown man is posting his dinner on social media is beyond my comprehension. I fully expect Sen. Cornyn to post a Tik Tok dance video next...

beef tenderloin is about $15 per POUND.

It costs about $10 for a quarter pounder combo meal from Mcdonalds!

They might have actually SAVED money eating tenderloin if they bought it at the store and cooked it themselves VS going to McDonalds and picking up a couple of Combo Meals.

Stop with the envy, it’s unbecoming

It’s a great Steak House, I’ve eaten at the Perini Ranch many times. What he was eating was a mail order 2 1/2 lb Tenderloin that they say feeds 4. They say on their website it runs 125 dollars. In his tweet he said from Perini Ranch not at Perini Ranch. It never ceases to amaze me what some people will complain about. I wonder how they’d feel about a steak and lobster at the Inn of the Mountain God’s in New Mexico. You’ll be hard pressed for two people to get out of Wendell’s for less that 250 for that meal. I read somewhere else that it was a gift.

everyone seemed to care a hell of a lot about nancy’s million dollar ice cream

i didn’t know tenderloin was that expensive

nancy showed herself to be incredibly uncaring and out of touch’

best to just stay off social media instead of posting nonsense

I thought the 600 was to cover mask costs.

I still have the $4 mask I bought at CVS in April.

Keep it in my car for supermarkets, liquor stores, and other places that require them (out of respect for the business owners).

Otherwise I never wear the infernal things.

We have some paper masks and some that I made when they started this mess and a neck gator that I really like but really does diddly squat.

The paper are for going to the doctor because that’s like the nastiest place and just want to toss those masks.

The ones that I made are too darn hot, two layers of cotton with flannel in the middle (read from CDC site) plus the elastic hurts my ears, as I went with what I had on hand because elastic was more rare than hens teeth last spring.

The gator has ear hangers which help because gators do like to slip down. It’s for the grocery and such, unless there are a bunch of coughing folk around, then I pull out a toss away. I don’t like dragging germs around or running my washer every time I go shopping and I’m not going to spray it with disinfectant because I see too many red rashes on the neck an around the face from people doing that nonsense.

I would rather wear no mask but most places don’t allow that and so I mask up but I’m damn sick of it.

They expect us to believe that more Texans voted for Cornyn in the 2020 election than voted for Donald Trump.

Ballot counting seems suspect at best.

There were Democrats who voted for Trump.

I can’t believe that there were ANY Democrats who voted for Cornyn. Certainly not 70,000.

“You know exactly what they’re saying. You’re just saying in a roundabout way that you don’t care.”

Just how much did you object when they showed Nancy and her thousands of dollars worthy of ice-cream or when she went to get her hair done.

Give us some links, or are you a Hypocrite?
