Ted Cruz is an embarrassment to Texas

Two images that have been circulating on social media capture the culture and government of Texas to a T.

One is a drone video showing Stateline Boulevard, the border road that divides the two cities of Texarkana, in Texas and Arkansas. On the Arkansas side, the pavement is cleared and plowed. The Texas roadbed is buried in snow.

The other image is that of Ted Cruz, Texas' Republican junior senator, traveling to Cancún, Mexico on Wednesday, while millions of his constituents were freezing at home, many without power, water or food.

What's the matter with Texas?

Yet he keeps getting re-elected.

I tried to do it right. Heat lamp in an insulated box on water supply, off at the house. When the electric went out at 5:00 pm it was game over. pipes froze in the frigid attic and ceiling caved in from burst pipes...fuck Greg Abbott, Raphael cruz and the rest of these douches!
