Agreed. Idiot doing idiotic things, and then covering the lie and the idiocy with idiotic lies. Fucking asshat of a human being. Meanwhile, as a reminder, the person he beat in 2018 for his Senate seat, Beto O'Rourke, is organizing well checks for seniors in Texas.
Are there any GOP members of the Senate doing any good for the country? Serious question.
There are GOP non-Senators that are also doing idiotic things.

Title: Texas in turmoil and no one is taking responsibility: 'We are in the middle of a humanitarian crisis'
Excerpt:
Wow... his original can complete post was much much worse. Check out https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tim-boy...power-outages/ for a screen shot of the original post in Facebook. Totally disgusting.The mayor of the west Texas town of Colorado City recently resigned from backlash after saying it wasn’t the government’s responsibility to help those suffering.
“No one owes you or your family anything; nor is it the local government’s responsibility to support you during trying times like this!” Tim Boyd wrote on Facebook, based on screenshots from local CBS affiliate KTAB. “Sink or swim, it’s your choice! The City and County, along with power providers or any other service owes you NOTHING!”
Another interesting tidbit: I couldn't find any links that actually stated that he was a republican. One article called him "Boyd, ex-Mayor of Colorado City" and later referred to the governor as "Abbot (R)".
Apparently it is assumed that if someone is saying something THAT stupid and vicious, then that person is most definitely a republican.

Sidebar on this: Patagonia is rad as hell. Listened to a super interesting interview with some of their design team on how they navigate the complex web of tariffs etc. even during normal circumstances and holy shit, they're creative as fuck. Adding "nurse pockets" to some jackets to avoid some tariffs, changing materials, altering design to circumvent restrictions etc.
I'm trying to find it now, but it was fascinating.
He wants to spend more time with his family?
I do have a question. The optics of this suck, no question. This is "let them eat cake" 2021 edition. And Cruz is a well-known coward scumbag.
What, exactly, should he be doing? I mean, if I read correctly the Texas power grid is off federal jurisdiction. And Cruz can't call in troops.
And his daughters are like...12? Is the preteen party scene that lit in Cancun?
He coulda just like, flown them to literally any other state that has electricity and running water and the backlash would be a fraction of what it is now.
I'm so pleased that Ted Cruz continues to do everything he can to make it as abundantly clear that he's vying for the "Biggest piece of shit" award and that he's a serious contender for 2021 in just a few short months.
“Leadership: Whatever happens, you’re responsible. If it doesn’t happen, you’re responsible.” -- Donald J. Trump, 2013
"I don't take responsibility at all." -- Donald J. Trump, 2020
Don't forget his dad being called the killer of JFK. A real man's man kissing the ass of the man who insulted his father and wife and now throwing his daughter under the bus to cover the heat. That is the kind of guy I want as my president. /s That anyone would look at Cruz and not see him for the spineless earth worm that he is is beyond my understanding.
I'm howling.
Apparently someone in Heidi Cruz' group chat leaked the logs to the press and...well...
"Confirmed by a second person on the thread". Fucking lol.

And full NYT story here.
This is very, "Let them eat cake." to me.
I look forward to Cruz' forthcoming endorsement of the person that snitched on his wife in their bid for the Presidency in 2024.

God, and you just know that everyone in the chat is pointing fingers trying to figure out who leaked the chat logs, lol.
