I’m not sure why I should care about this. If I had the means I’d do the same thing....and you?
By the by how many other Stalwart, rugged Texans bugged out for toastier climes of recent?
Finally...optics schmoptics. It’s not like Ted is a consistently swell guy. Haven’t we all learned by now that he kinda bends with the breeze so why should anything he does/says be taken seriously or with more than a grain of salt...speaking of salt...Hey Teddy...pass the Margheritas!
Beto2024 is certain with lickspittle cuckservatives like you.
Cruz didn’t murder 9000 of his own citizens like Cuomo. And yet you want us to focus on this nothing story.
Cuomo should go to prison. Ted just needs to lose his job. I wouldn’t really compare them, Cuomo is far worse.
Well, good to agree about Cuomo at least.
Ted’s staff needs to learn how to say “ The Senator put a ‘ lid’ on it”.
MR 2021, you’re a joke.
Yep, that worthless piece of trash is here just to promote Beto.
It's a job for the National Guard. It's what they do...deliver necessities.
But only the utility company can solve the "shortage" problem...and the juice just ain't there.
BS...He didn’t do anything wrong. This is his family. He’s not the only one who left Town. Just go to an adjacent warmer state. These folks have all vacated before because of hurricanes etc..
Heidi Cruz needs to reassess her "friends".
“Optics, FRiend, optics...
“ The office of Sheila Jackson Lee has tweeted that the Congresswoman, along with nonprofit organization NACC Disaster Service, will be handing out bottle water and groceries to Houston communities affected by the winter storm, starting at 1 p.m. Thursday at Emancipation Park.””
Not even that. Like I’ve been saying, he could have just picked up a novel and read it for 3 days. Or, if he was really cold in his house, find someone with a generator (our house stayed warm, as we were burning through Butane bottles, had natural gas, and also have a generator), and order a book on prepping from Amazon.
Or, if he REALLY needed to get away, charter an airplane using his wife’s money to fly somewhere...although he’d likely get spotted anyway.
He didn’t have to get out in public and hand out blankets or water, and given how radioactive he is, he likely would have caused more problems than he helped with. If he didn’t say or do anything in public, NO ONE WOULD CARE. We expect our governor to respond to disasters, and would have asked questions about what he’s doing - but not a Senator, it’s a different job.
There were a lot of things he could have done right (or not at all), it was very, very easy for him to stay out of trouble, but Cruz managed to pick about the WORST THING that he could have done wrong.
What are you talking about? I’ve been warning against beto like crazy! What Ted did was hand him everything on a silver platter. I’m pretty pissed about that and anyone that’s against beto should be as well.
You know, if I could travel, I would have done the same thing! Of course, he left Texas to stay warm. Use your common sense!
It’s terrible how Cruz caused the deaths of 15,000 nursing home patients, then tried to cover it up. Oh wait, that was Cuomo.
“So funny, even Lyn’ Ted’s neighbors can’t stand them and outed them for this stupidity.”
Funny, I spent Monday night checking outside temperatures, replacing Butane bottles on our portable stoves, going outside every few hours to make sure the faucets were dripping at the rate I wanted, running water inside of our house to make sure any dead zones got some good flow, and even hooking up a portable power source to an electric blanket over one section of pipe that I knew had stagnant water.
What I DID NOT DO was plan a winter getaway to Cancun, nor did that thought ever occur to me. In fact, I was very happy to be home, or I’d likely be tearing into walls to replace sections of plumbing.
You are a Democrat plant, and not a very good one.
Maybe you’re the rat!
No, it’s you.
You got accused of drunk posting on another thread, I suspect that’s the issue here.
