    Ted Cruz is angelic and can do no wrong. All republicans are angelic. Haven't you heard?

    not sure if you are correct...

    I think both grassly and earnst are both horrible senators and neither have any courage

    but they did get money from the federal government

    it may be difficult to click a link to read a fact bit here you go

    The Iowa senators introduced this legislation in September after touring the severe damage following the historic derecho around the state and meeting with local leaders and nonprofits.


    https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassley-ernst-s-bill-provide-tax-relief-iowans-impacted-derecho-signed-law#:~:text=Grassley, Ernst’s Bill to Provide Tax Relief to,law as part of the year-end legislative package.

    Of course Senators work to get assistance to their state. It's literally one of their jobs.

    But, I'm happy to agree with those who say Cruz is incompetent and cannot help Texas in any way. He should help, but they claim he's not capable. I'll go along with that.

    Throwing out an impossible scenario rises well above sarcasm, to the doorstep of ignorance...

    It's also possible that he got to the hotel, put a bathing suit on and went to the pool, then caught a glimpse of himself in a window...

    No, I’m suggesting that we get our panties in less of a wad when someone does something. Here’s a clue - the vids I’ve seen of him on the plane shows plenty of other passengers. Anybody criticizing them?
    Given the abundance of LW loonies around stoked by Waters, et al to attack and confront Republicans, his request seems reasonable.

    Senators have "a voice" with the media. These are not privileges afforded the average person. So, it makes no sense for you to call out anyone else on the plane who probably aren't public figures with no sway over public opinion or political power.

    This has nothing to do with anybody else except Cruz and his seemingly lack of concern for the people of the state he represents. Pretending like it does is simple whataboutism.

    It looks like Ted Cruz did jump ship when he took his wife and daughters to Cancun and left their dog snowflake in their cold house.

    I just laugh when conservatives say any of the T**** children can follow in his footsteps... I freely admit Don the Con was once an interesting personality (back in the 90's, before he went insane).... To assume any of his offspring have any of the tools to succeed in politics should be a non-starter.

    As the T****'s say, the apple doesn't fall far from..... the.place.... ummmmm.. where the apples...... are manufactured?

    You should organize a protest. Can you direct me to the post where you condemned prominent dems for flying to gather in large family groups during a pandemic where they admonished others not to do so?

    I just did a quick search on that and I'm curious why they would hire a security guard to watch after their dog. I'm sure they could have found a couple of friends or family members to keep the pet while they raced off to Cancun. The whole thing is unconsciousable.

    While I applaud the overarching largess of sentiment... can we revise it to "all Constitutionalist Conservatives are angelic" ~ ? There are many "Repubes", 'RINO's if you will, that belong (imho) in one of the 'rings of Dante's Inferno', lol... Obviously kidding of course

    Well, it probably might have ended quicker if 3 things didn't happen:

    1. Cruz made laughable comments
    2. National "conservatives" rushed to his defense, with equally laughable statements
    3. Ted didn't pave the way for insurrection against the US Govt a month ago.

    To Ted's credit, he eventually came up with "I have no defense", which is as truthful a statement as he's capable of...

    No, no. All elected leaders are wonderful human beings. Why would Americans send idiots to Congress?
