1. Lol. No pinata?

[rsdsharp]

2. That's Ted.

Who has the stick?

[calimary]

20. YES! HE is! This is HILARIOUS!!!

But frankly, who even needs a piñata when you’ve got Cancun Cruz?!?

[Oldem]

26. Big difference. When you burst a pinata,

good stuff come out.

[calimary]

30. There is that!

[azureblue]

38. what music did they play?

La Cucaracha?

[lagomorph777]

45. Ouch!

[crickets]

49. Ole'!

[wnylib]

54. Wish they did. Would have been even better.

[Laelth]

3. Brilliant! k&r n/t

-Laelth

[sorcrow]

4. No taco truck? nt

[2naSalit]

7. Hopefully that will come tomorrow.

[MontanaMama]

35. From your keyboard

to the ears of the universe...let it be so.

[2naSalit]

37. I think it would be fitting if one showed up...

everyday. And Chicano car parade! All those lowriders hopping down the street, entertaining the neighbors.

I suspect constituents will be showing up after a time.

[Laelth]

12. I still want a taco truck on every corner.

Wouldn’t that be great?



-Laelth

[Lucinda]

24. +1

[Danmel]

28. We always say that

We would love that and maybe a halal truck too !

[DesertRat]

32. And a margarita one too please

[catrose]

51. That must be the only neighborhood in Texas that doesn't have a taco truck on every corner!

At least that’s how it is from Central to South Texas

[Deuxcents]

5. I wish I could take credit

This is so good 👍

[theneworiginal]

50. I'm going with AOC.

[Blue Owl]

6. Bwah!

Let the pile-on continue...

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Add a taco truck to increase the crowd

[arlyellowdog]

9. Is that Texas or Washington?

[efhmc]

15. I am very skeptical that any upscale house in Houston or in Texas has a window unit instead of

being all central air. (Next Door).

[TexasBushwhacker]

19. It's in River Oaks

The development was originally we built in the 1920s (whites only) and there are some pretty old houses. I wouldn't be surprised if that window unit is for someone's home office. My dad used to keep his office like a meat locker.

Joel Osteen lives in River Oaks too.

[efhmc]

22. Lived there for 20 years. I know exactly where it is.

[Sgent]

33. I kinda agree

although I have seen a few window units or spilt systems in home offices (in addition to the central hvac). If they want to cool that room at different times or its an extension it maybe needed.

[cyclonefence]

34. We have central air *and* bedroom window units

My husband and I sleep in one of the three bedrooms. We turn off the central air at night--why cool the whole house when only one room needs to be cooled?--and when we have overnight guests, they can have their bedroom at the temperature they prefer.

[efhmc]

48. That makes sense. I have separate central units upstair and down.

My daughter in Boulder has a house with three levels and the upper bedroom is hot in the summer and the bottom bedroom is cold.It is the opposite in the winter. They should have two separate units but they do not.

[Mariana]

36. Google maps street view of Ted's address in Houston

shows a window unit in that window in that house next door.

[efhmc]

47. I stand corrected. Thanks for the info. Still think it is odd.

[Polybius]

53. It's very odd that Cruz would live in a house so close to other houses

I'm surprised that he doesn't live in a nice, secluded neighborhood. I would with his money.

[efhmc]

55. But CruzQ is "from" Houston and went to high school there and living in River Oaks is the height of

achieved snobbery. Although there are many second homes in RO of rich middle East oil potentates that have walls around them. They are seldom for sale and even his ill gotten gains are not enough to buy them.

[Goonch]

10. ;-{)

[twodogsbarking]

11. From ZZ Top; Texans.

I was on my way down to Mexico
There was trouble on the rise
It was nothing more than I’d left behind
Which was much to my surprise
I turned around and lit a cigarette
Wiped the dust off of my boots
When up ahead I saw the crowd
I knew it was no use

[Jon King]

13. Hassle everyone of them that tried to overturn the election...

Every day, every where, make these traitors lives living nightmares.

[calimary]

21. YES!!! NEVER let them get over or under or around or through it!

Teddy-boy, you’re gonna be tracking that toilet paper around on the bottom of both your shoes for the rest of your miserable life, you schmuck!

[COL Mustard]

14. I Confess....It Wasn't Me

But I wish I'd thought of it....and I don't live in Texas....

[orleans]

16. thanks for posting this. it's pretty damn funny!

17. Democrats send mariachi bands........

in Michigan we had armed thugs outside the home of our SoS. Just goes to show the differences between a civilized party and a cult of hate.

[KentuckyWoman]

18. That is so wonderful

Whoever it was thank you.

Beautiful on so many different levels.

[Fiendish Thingy]

23. Brilliant! Nt

[orangecrush]

25. Wasn't me!

[applegrove]

27. I remember when Trump was at the start of his term and was at his golf

club in Scotland, somebody sent a mariachi band to scotland and they played near his property.

[msfiddlestix]

29. I love demonstrations in music and costume

Not familiar with this particular piece.

I wonder if it is associated with a particular song or dance symbolizing something relative to the resident skum bag occupying a seat he doesn't deserve?

Regardless, Carry On! and Bravo!

[Sur Zobra]

46. I don't know the name

of that particular piece, but it is a standard song played by Mariachi groups. This group probably played other standards in the Mariachi repertoire while at Cancun Cruz’s house

[msfiddlestix]

52. I would love to know about any piece which may be particularly on point as a tool or function of

using music in demonstrations which I completely support and encourage. It's a way of demonstrating protest of whatever issue(s) en masse, which is sans violence or enticement of violence. I think it's helpful to think creatively when a call for action to express our displeasure or anger toward a system, or individuals in power for their abuse of office an unjust system.

All that to say, i am inspired by Mariachi bands and other musicians leading the charge!

[Rhiannon12866]

31. LOL!

[BobTheSubgenius]

39. It wasn't me, and I'm a little bummed about that.

I'd love to be in on it, though.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

40. They're obviously there to entertain Cruz's dog, sent by the ASPCA.

KY....... ........

[PatrickforB]

41. Ol' Flyin' Ted! He's never going to live this down.

This is cute, but in all seriousness, Cruz is a traitor who should not only be expelled from the Senate for his role in the January 6 Trump coup attempt, but should also be facing criminal charges.

At the very least, perhaps his little trip down to Cancun and subsquent throwing of his own daughters under the bus should cause him to LOSE next time he's up for reelection clear out in 2024.

[DanieRains]

42. God I Wish I Was There

How is Snowflake doing?

[LeftInTX]

43. I don't "get this"...Mariachis are a compliment...

They cost money to show up at your house.

Lots of families scratch and save to have them for a special occasion.

Heck even to have them play a tune at a Mexican restaurant ain't cheap.

Ted Cruz does not deserve mariachis.

Hey deserves this:

&t=364s

[Paladin]

44. Mariachis aren't a compliment in Cruz's snotty River Oaks neighborhood.

Not after the bone-headed, insulting stunt he pulled. I love that somebody did this.

[lindysalsagal]

56. Protest 101: Aim the signs at the TV cameras or phones, and print on both sides!

Ted doesn't need to see them: The interwebs do!

[gldstwmn]

57. Well played.

[sarchasm]

58. KnR!!!
