"Ted Cruz sees his job as basically being a guy who records a podcast, goes on Fox News, and tweets snarky jokes. And increasingly, that's what being a conservative politician is. It's a form of performative trolling."

Slowly then all at once, the internet exposed Ted Cruz for flying to a Cancun vacation in the middle of Texas's snowstorm and power outage crisis. https://t.co/DKw7veXLJl

absolutely mind boggling to watch texas freeze out and think about all the shit texas elected officials spent their time on the last couple months. restricting voting rights. filing insurrection lawsuits. mandating sporting event music. freaking out over who uses bathrooms.

People are sleeping on floors, toilets are clogged and covered in plastic bags because of the smell. People report not being given drinking water. When asked about water, guards have said: "you shouldn't have f**ing gotten locked up." (2)

UPDATE: we are hearing reports that a young man has died in the houston jail. Trying to learn more. Many more could follow if the DA and judges do not change course and let people out without requiring cash payments. The cash bail system is a catastrophic failure.

Ted Cruz’s Cancun vacation is actually a sacrifice he’s making on behalf of Texas, so the state could have more power and food. https://t.co/wgg4xFpBXT

So fleeing a disaster at home fueled by a governance failure and seeking safe harbor for those he loves most, Ted Cruz decided it was best to help his family cross the border? Huh.

Wait, I thought people who participated in the insurrection were on a no-fly list? #TedCruz

I can’t believe Ted Cruz expects us to believe that he spent 2 days on a plane just so he could chaperone his kids to Cancun for a spontaneous international pandemic vacation. The lying is beyond shameless.

So he expects us to believe that his kids asked him to go on vacation to Cancun *yesterday* and they all flew out *that night* https://t.co/i42DIFPcSf

From an airport in southeast Mexico, Ted Cruz claims he's "continuing to work to try to get the power on" in Texas. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic. pic.twitter.com/4ythCWsJsU

"People of Texas," he begins, "I tracked the people who stole the 2020 election to Cancun. But I'm sad to inform you that they got away because the liberal media warned them I was coming."
It's obvious but worth explicitly acknowledging that if Schumer flew to Cancún for vacation while his constituents were freezing, Fox News would break in for special coverage that would last until the next election. Yet Cruz's trip hasn't even been mentioned on Fox News today.

Hell, Allan, he abandoned his poodle Snowflake! And I thought I couldn't loathe him more.
Has that been confirmed? Numerous people were tweeting about it last night. Could he have left the dog and a person in the house (he said was FREEZING so he had to go to Cancun)? Which is not a whole lot better . . . I'm a little surprised he caved and came back. If he was "a real man" (TM), he would have stayed.
There is no bottom with any of these cruel fascist asshats.
Apparently there was a guard taking care of the poodle.

Not impressed. I don't leave dogs alone because I want to loll on a beach for fucksake!
Jean and I haven't taken a vacation together since 1969 when we were married. Why? Because, Ted, someone should be home with the dogs!
The dog and the "guard" can huddle together for warmth!
Ted Cancruz's lies are amazing. "I packed two suitcases because I was flying down only to make sure my kids got there safely and then I was totally flying straight back despite having an original return ticket for six days later which was only changed after a public uproar and thank goodness that even after I admitted on Fox that I was going to stay for a week, Hannity kept telling the flying-right-back lie."
Breaking News at Newsmax: Biden's dog might need a bath. Or his fur is brown (which equals "dirty", obviously).
