    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?

    ~~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!”

    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.

    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.

        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.

      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.

        I can take solace in the fact that for all the selling out and boot licking this guy does, he still has to fly commercial.

          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.

    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?
