I sure hope a reporter gets the scoop on this since he is no where to be found, or even heard from in effort to help his suffering Texans... He really is not doing his job at all....

Ya know Ted Seditionist CoupCanCruz got heckled into doing something, even if it was for a photo op.

Beto called on Seniors in our State. AOC raised over $4 million and you

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

Are you rolling in the dough and counting your ill gotten gains?


Well I know you are still a do nothin senator.

It seems like the people who run successful campaigns on how dysfunctional and incompetent government is seem to always find a way to prove their point after they've been elected.

Someplace where he is NOT likely to garner some ugly headlines and internet derision.

Maybe on some cute island off the coast of Costa Rica? Or Palau? Or La Digue?

Somewhere, at any rate, where 1.) it's nice, and 2.) people are not likely to recognize him. Although, being as cold-hearted as he is, he could just as easily feel at home in the ice hotel at Jukkasjärvi.

So he can blame it on a democratic person


Can't believe that between Cornyn and Cruz, you could get two senators who could do less ????

He's trying to help them formulate the best spin for raking in huge profits while Texans freeze.

I mean, they've got to get something from him for their $1.7 million dollar investment.

Cornyn is just another old, white, entitled guy. Slick handshake (wash afterwards) and an "I know things you don't" look.

that when Texans thaw out, pay their astronomical utility bills, and turn their minds to politics, they remember their invisible Senators. It will be up to Dems to keep them reminded of AOC, Beto, and all the others who actually helped them.

Your post brought back one of my favourite MI quotes: (Regarding George W Bush) "He ain't exactly bent double with intellect."

And that was a guy she claimed to like as a person.
