So he toured the Parthenon during 4th of July weekend, 24 hours AFTER people were caught in the flood.

Rafael Cruz just doesn’t love Americans does he?

      He’s in tight with O&G, his wife literally works for Goldman Sachs, and he’s jumped into Opus Dei. The man has more money and institutional support than any three other Senators you could name, despite being a turd in the Texas punch bowl the rest of the year.

      Meanwhile, his most competent opponents have been the Skateboarding Take Your Guns guy chanting “demographics is destiny” to a bunch of conservative Latinos and the Linebacker in sheriff cosplay who ran on being tougher on the border than Republicans.

      When your options are constantly Republican or Republican Lite, is there any surprise when the Republican wins?

    Fuck him and his constituents, they love the abuse. If they didn’t they would have gotten rid of him the first dozen times he did this shit. At this point it’s Cruz’s trademark to run away during a crisis. And Texas fucking loves it.

    On a side note, how does big bad Texas have such a soft, wimpy, sad excuse for a man as their rep? Maybe he represents the true Texan man

        But that’s faster than the human by itself can go making it inhumanely possible.

        I’m just kidding. I have no idea if what i said even made sense after a wake bake but I really want him to drop from a plane.

    Celebrating independence day touring Europe after supporting a fascist who is the antithesis of “independence” and the embodiment of everything Americans fought against.

    Shitty American.

    I don’t know how many of these disasters happen in Texas, but this guy manages to dodge them with stunning accuracy.

    If he weren’t in a leadership role it would be amazing.

      I don’t think he has any advanced warning, he probably just is on vacation so much, the odds are in his favor that he’ll be out of state when something bad happens.

      When you’re a useless lazy piece of shit like him, of course you’ve fucked off to anywhere else but where the work is.

        Don’t a lot of bad things also tend to happen in Texas, given the awesome management team they’ve got there?

          To be fair, it is also a huge state, with a lot of surface area. So it’s not unreasonable that they catch more natural disasters than a tiny state.

          What is unreasonable is that it’s handled terribly every time. You’d think all those disasters would eventually gain them some experience.
