@clinicalswagg@PollySpin@NewYearsDani@jkrwld@avg_cajun@vjeannek @NNJ_Taxman @BetoORourke@tedcruz I *probably* would not have done the vacation, if I was a senator, because if I was a senator, I'd cynically look for every virtue-signaling opportunity to get media coverage I could, because that's the game. So Cruz isn't doing the senator thing very well, I guess. /2
@clinicalswagg@PollySpin@NewYearsDani@jkrwld@avg_cajun@vjeannek @NNJ_Taxman @BetoORourke@tedcruz I'm completely unconvinced that Beta is doing anything that's actually helpful. I'm totally in agreement that he's doing things that LOOK helpful on CNN. And I'm on the fence whether, were I in Cruz's place, I would prioritize virtue-signalling over keeping a family commitment./1
@PollySpin@NewYearsDani@jkrwld@avg_cajun@vjeannek @NNJ_Taxman I definitely agree the vacation is poor optics. I'm just wondering exactly what electrical supply miracle a US Senator is capable of. I've been out of the loop; I'm not up on the full Marvel Political Universe of super powers.
@NewYearsDani@jkrwld@avg_cajun@vjeannek @NNJ_Taxman @PollySpin I'm late to this dog pile. Exactly what is Cruz's involvement in this power grid failure? And exactly what role does a federal senator have in the response?
Texans have been bragging about their independence. Winter shows up and suddenly they need feds? I don't get it.
@bdunbar Someone remarked that they were coming in on "Adventure Tours" buses. My first thought is, National Guard is stealing some ideas from the Navy.
Remember: It's not just a job, it's an adventure.
Robert Reich is not stupid enough to believe this is true. But he thinks *you* are stupid enough to believe it. This is why Robert Reich is lying scum.
@MorlockP The only reasons to care about how much money someone else has are if you plan on robbing them, or you're ignorant of economics and think they robbed you somehow.
Unless he had a billion once, Peter is either a thief or an idiot.
It may be shocking to some, but being someone’s daughter actually isn’t a career qualification.
It hurts our diplomatic standing when the President phones it in & the world moves on.
The US needs our President working the G20. Bringing a qualified diplomat couldn’t hurt either.
This is an awful thing for one American President to say about another. Argue that he shouldn't be reelected, sure, but don't say that he wasn't legitimately elected.

@skirtsnhose In PDX, any telemetry collected from scooters will indicate that the destination of most scooter trips is the bottom of the Willamette
