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?

    Yet Texas voters keep landsliding this absolute coward back into office. Nevermind he has abandoned his constituents at every major natural disaster. Even Chip Roy, who is arguably a bigger fucking idiot than he is, was there before him.

    Edit reminder: Dude even abandon’s his dog in the worst ice storm of his state’s history! I don’t care if his security guard was watching him, people were freezing to death!

      I think very few Texans ever voted for Cruz because they actually like or know about him. He has the R next to his name and that’s good enough.

        100% this they’ll always vote R or abstain from voting. The argument abstaining from voting causes low voter turnout, which elects elects more Rs doesn’t matter.

    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.

      What’s funny is these people could afford anything regardless of what taxes they pay. By not taxing them, we only hurt ourselves.

      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?

      A Zodiac Killer is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

    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

    I believe ted cruz has the most punchable face in politics. I don’t even think you’d hurt your hand. It just looks soft and squishy.

        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.

      Grovel and beg for forgiveness after actively cutting NOAA budget? Personally drive a truck full of food/water/clothing for people displaced? Literally just show up and offer your condolences to your contituents (regardless of how obviously fake it’d be)?

      Like, basic human things you should be doing to show that you care about the people you supposedly represent? Vs: fuck it, I’m on vacation, they’ll still be dead when I get home.

      Guess what: politicians for all their grand standing about lazy entitled welfare recipients work about 130 total days a year, he can go see the parthenon some other time.

        So yelling racial slurs at the water/shooting the water, or even both at the same time until it subsides…?
