This. Hella surprised he’d risk muggle transport and be recognized and called out.
Again. It has happened twice before, and he keeps doing it. Fucking ghoul.
No no, forget numbers:
Three areas if you're pink you're so screwed. Get food and hunker down for a week. Light pink? You're only lightly screwed. Green, prepare to swim.
Next time pick a politician who can control the weat...actually, Ned Rooze can't control thr weather so he is practically useless. I can understand him leaving. He's what we would call a chicken.
Having a house made out of bricks and cement would be useful just like how it is in EU. How many houses get destroyed because they are just made out of wood, plastics and paper walls (dry wall)?
Sonofabitch.
Welp, good luck Texans.
Your grid is going down again.
Damn renewable energy! Thank god dynamic pricing will keep energy companies going, those 10k dollar bills for one week after the grid mostly fails because they declined to winterize their infrstructure blessedly help repair the grid! (Or some shit, what are we going with on this again?)
Hope you all have automatic withdrawala on your accounts still, suckers. /s
The Texas power grid doesn't fail - it functions perfectly.
The only issue with it is this weird misconception that it's purpose is to deliver energy, rather than to transfer wealth upwards...
Ah yes the yearly service interruptions brought to you by the superior free market.
What is wrong with a company spiking the price of electricity by 4,000%? Don't like it just switch to another company that will do the same thing. Choice is wonderful.
The last time ~~hell~~ Texas froze over Centerpoint Energy decided to socialize their losses to all of their customers, including those not in Texas. I live in MN and I had to pay for their stupidity. And what other company? Lucky you getting a choice which company fucks you over.
You second college class in MacroEcon, or an AP Macro Econ course... generally goes over how cartels are bad, and the government tends to run utilities because if they don't, you get the exact situation that Texas has.
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.
Raphael Cruz is a living embodiment of the power of having an R beside their name.
They actually think that though.
rafael is such a little shit.
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?
The one that Texans keep electing despite that mountain of insanity.
Yeah he also once ran for human president.
Cuck Cruz
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?
That's what he does. He runs home when the cold comes.
I still don't understand why people call him Ted...
His name is Raphael, and always was up until he needed to trick white supremacists into thinking he was white too
And he's Canadian.
Raphael is too pretty a name to be wasted on a sack of shit like him.
Calling him a sack of shit is an insult to shit.
Honestly yeah. If my dog’s shit was on the rail, and Cruz was on another rail, I’d redirect the trolley to hit Cruz to save my dog’s excrement.
LOL

If anyone would like to meet poopoo head in person in an unusual context now you know a pattern…
He’s not on a chartered flight? I find that hard to believe.
Like clockwork.
I was gonna say. Didn't he do this last time when everyone's water pipes froze and the power went out?
Yep Cancun Cruz loves to act like foreskin and disappears when things get hard.
Someone needs to check his house for abandoned dogs.
Kristi can deal with those.
lol he flies commercial?
Shitbags can be frugal too. Lol. Lord knows his bribes are enough to fly business
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!"
He's a fan of deadnames, so he's Rafael.
Rafael Edward Cruz.
Dems need a Mamdani or a Platner in Texas.
Not milquetoast conservatives like Beto O'Rourke.
And they'll reelect him next round too.
Twice is a coincidence, thrice is a pattern.
Honestly he did less harm as the Zodiac Killer.
