Just another shiny object for the media to distract you with. – The first few weeks of the sock puppet Biden administration have been a disastrous time for Democrats. Among other horrific stories, the elderly, brain-addled Biden and his fellow Democrats have created the following raft of negative stories:
– More than 85,000 Americans dead of COVID;
PauseUnmute Fullscreen
– Tens of thousands of jobs cancelled by Biden’s first-day executive orders, at least 10,000 of which were in the oil and gas industry;
– New York Governor Andrew Cuomo responsible for the deaths of thousands of Biden’s fellow elderly citizens in his state’s nursing homes;
– Cuomo now under investigation by both the FBI and the New York Attorney General’s office;
– Biden and Anthony Fauci both ignoring actual science by c0nspiring with teacher’s unions to needlessly keep our kids out of school;
– Biden’s anti-oil and gas policies causing skyrocketing gasoline prices;
– Biden’s ramping up of the U.S. interventionist war machine;
…and on and on and on it goes.
Biden’s friends in the corrupt news media needed a shiny object to use to distract the public’s attention from all of these hugely negative stories, because that is what the media does for Democrats. On Thursday, they found their bright and shiny object in the form of Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
Senator Cruz decided to follow through on a long-planned spring break trip with his kids down to Cancun, you see. When he arrived, some fellow Americans recognized him and posted video of him on their social media accounts. Smelling a bright and shiny object in the making, corrupt fake reporters decided to pick up on the story and chastise the Senator for abandoning Texas when it was in the midst of a major winter storm that had millions of Texans struggling without electrical power in their homes.
Here’s a sampling of the idiotic stories run by the Texas and national news media:
Man, Democrat media agent Chris Hayes even managed to get in a shot at the late Rush Limbaugh while taking shots at Cruz, a real media two-fer badge of honor.
If Ted Cruz happened to be Governor of Texas, or even a member of the state’s Public Utilities Commission or holder of a seat in the Texas Legislature, this would have been an actual legitimate news story. After all, people in any of those offices have an actual role to play in what happens with the Texas power grid. Any of those folks leaving the state during this weather emergency would have deserved to be literally tarred and feathered, not just slammed by a biased media.
But a United States senator like Cruz has zero role to play in determining how electricity is delivered to the 28 million citizens of Texas and the businesses that serve them. Where he goes this week literally makes no difference to anyone else. Well, except to “news” reporters desperate to focus on something, anything other than the disastrous beginning for the China Joe Biden sock puppet presidency.
For being a good dad, Senator Cruz became this week’s shiny object, and now his kids will have to vacation in Cancun without their dad. Because that is what the corrupt news media in this country does for the Democrat party.
That is all.
Looks like we gotta prop up some conservative target for our hate, otherwise we have nothing to write about.
To distract from cuuuuoomo. To give democrats another target for their hate. To squash his presidential aspirations for 2024. I have no doubt his ego will push him to run, and that the democrats will go 24/7 with this little story.
I’m sick of Republicans shooting themselves in the foot.
Ted is a smart guy, I fail to understand why he shot himself in the foot by apologizing.
The senate is not in session, you can work remotely, why stay and suffer? I am sure millions left during the freeze.
How have other Texas politicians spent the ice storm?
Well done. An author who knows both Texas and the DNC media.
In before the care bears tell you why this shiny object du jour is fatal.
So they don’t have to cover ADOLPH CUOMO!!!
“””Just another shiny object for the media to distract you with.”””
My sentiments as well. I am not sure what a US Senator can do to alleviate the electrical blackouts and burst water pipes in the near term within a state.
All the Cruz hoopla was to distract from pedojoe’s disastrous Town Hall.
“African Americans and Hispanics don’t know how to go online to get in line.”
“China’s Xi Jinping’s human right abuses are just due to their response to a history of being attacked from without, and so it’s a cultural thing.”
This distraction is so obvious that I’m not distracted. The Republicucks and conservative media have to stop playing the Rats game. Ignore their narrative and go on offense.
If Trump was in office they’d be blaming him, demanding he do a press conference and asking why FEMA isn’t on the ground with food and water.
“ Ted is a smart guy, I fail to understand why he shot himself in the foot by...”
Ted Cruz is and always was tone deaf.
A guy with money and power seen fleeing an emergency -fatalities, suffering- it’s not good.
But a senator.
People are never going to think, “oh he doesn’t have any way of getting legislation to alleviate the...”. They dont think, “oh he can’t go out and do welfare checks or help out at a warming center, he’ll be seen as being political.”
Andrew cuomo can send nine thousand corona virus patients into nursing homes to die and to infect the other residents and staff and get away with it. He’s a democrat.
We’ve accepted that democrats are the above the law dictators. They just stole the presidency- from a guy who would never send sick people to die and infect others while doing so.
It’s a given
That’s all I have to say
Agreed ...sadly we have some freepers that do the same.
I seriously doubt that!!!
For someone so smart he sure lacks common sense.
What was he thinking?
He wasn't, this kind of lapse of judgement is revealing.
I fully agree with you, with a minor edit - the majority on FR who have been criticizing Senator Cruz appear to have their nose rings pulled freely by the propaganda organs.
Sad to see so many easily led lemmings, especially here on FR
Plenty of Freepers who would rip the press for this reporting of Trump are fully on board now. Just read any thread on this and you will find them parroting the media.
Useful ones and they are allowed their opinions, but it doesn’t mean those opinions are sufficiently wise to the ways of leftist press.
