Winter storm related- Ted Cruz

[lubag]

left Texas yesterday for a family vacation in Cancun. His FaceBook page has an entry from a couple days ago that says "Stay at home if you can". Look on Fox News, Drudge report, etc to confirm. Bad optics Ted? Man, don't care what side of political divide one is on, this can not be a smart thing to do.

PS- Mark- don't mean this to be a political thread really- more of the Winter storm talk- but delete it if you feel it's over the line.

Hey, politician is acting hypocritical and in his own self interest ... STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!

Oh and Drudge is not Drudge any longer

 

[BDB99]

Wish I was in Cancun right about now

 

[offshore ag]

Dude in the airport pics doesn’t appear to have a mullet?

you think Cruz flies coach?

 

[Agwalk75]

Not a big deal at all and optically fine with me.

 

[MeatWalletMassacre]

Only a big deal if it were Beto.

This is about 100x less offensive than vacationing in mexico while telling the regular folks they can't even go to work, church, or out to eat during a pandemic.

No politician was telling people not to go somewhere warmer during the storm.

 

[RogueAggie]

So what, I would like to be in Cancun right now too.

I didn’t know Cruz killed someone and had his family cover it up

Also never heard Cruz want to kill the energy business all the while burning up the airways.

 

[J87]

Best way to save energy for others—close up your house and leave.

Mark can’t delete this...no electricity.

 

[jeffmc]

This is a non-event

 

[jsy60]

Only a big deal if it were Beto.

he could go and stay

 

[aggiekhan]

We have friends that flew to Hawaii on Monday for two week vacation. They sent pics on Tuesday, looked warm and humid.

 

[DentonAg80]

Maybe politically not smart but.................if he was here, was there anything he could do? No! Irrelevant for him to go on vacation...

 

[Scout59]

Good grief...is this really news? Like Pelosi getting her hair done during the pandemic. We are becoming more and more pathetic.

actually, weather this weekwas showing all rain and temps never getting out of the 60’s. That was on big island though.

 

[CaliTexan82]

And this thread is ridiculous btw. People need to find new ways to keep busy instead of continuously looking over the fence at what others are doing.

 

[h273]

His pipes will unfreeze this weekend and when he comes home he can go swimming in his bedroom.

Hate the prick but this is a non issue. I just back from Hawaii, wife is still there, she is the smart one. Ted cant suck Trump's cock while Trump call's him his bitch while he is Cancun. Hope he stays there.

All I saw was lush green and water in a liquid form... iwantthat.gif

 

[BC93]

When your strongest point is you are better than Beto, you have issues.

 

[phastman]

There was also this. I actually like his reply though. Just own it.

Hey, he's wearing a mask. Silver lining.

 

[Higher Authority]

How about this?

That is a non-issue. Happens all the time when politicians travel. It's commonly know as a curb to the gate (or the other way around) escort. It's part of the regular duties of police officers assigned to airports.

 

[Don Draper]

Reveal the source or gtfo. I'm tired of anonymous sources and bullshit the media puts out there.

 

[squarebush]

i guess he could always go out to northwest Texas and pour hot water on the turbines. shame on him.

 

[CSAg03]

What do people expect him to be doing? Delivering wood door to door?

Jeez ! Get a freaking life.

Interesting. I’ve been running around the austin area this whole time and have noticed that there are no cops anywhere. EMS, fire, other emergency vehicles but not 1 cop. Guess Ted called them all for his escort. Lol. Hope he’s enjoying a margarita right about now

 

[BoxsterBoy72]

My retired AF buddy Dave and his wife left their home in Colleyville and caught a flight yesterday out of DFW for Park Cities, Utah. He’s an tOSU grad. LoL

dunno what happened to his mullet. And that is definitely a dude that looks like Cruz, wearing a mask that Cruz has been photographed with...it appears to be him.

I still don’t know what I’m supposed to be upset about here. If there were some bill, order, or directive on his desk right now that could do anything, now I’m pissed. Was he responsible for winterization, maintenance, or reliability of electricity generating systems? if so, I’m pissed. But the “bad optics” of the situation? That only stokes the fire for more TMZ politics.

If he did nothing, nobody is talking about what Cruz is doing right now.

 

[David123]

He’s a lawyer and a politician, they are all pretty much liars and suck.

So many on the left are really hateful but think they are virtuous. I disagree with most people on the left but do not hate them. I just think they have mostly terrible ideas. The left seems to be really ramping up the hate those who you disagree with and don't consider them human. This is quite scary.

 

[QuickDrawMcGraw77]

He has nothing to do with the Texas state government. One less home using electricity.
