MAGA Texans love Raphael de Cancun.
This is whats fucking insane. He's such a piece of shit, and overall is really horrible at doing his goddamn job. Like why would vote for someone you know is human garbage... Regardless of any party?
All the people voting for him may be just as shitty. Or stupid. Probably just stupid.
the gop is also propping him up, they cant afford to lose seats in places like texas, just like they are doing with MR lady G in one of the carolinas.
They think the other option is worse.
Seems to be working out very well for him.
for how racist Texans are, they keep voting for a Mexican immigrant.
Would it be predatory to profit from selling Trump and Cruz "I did this" stickers?
Let the free market decide
Ted Cruz own mother must hate him. If God was real, they would hate Ted Cruz.
he made a deal with a crossroad demon.
Can’t fix stupid.
God hates Ted Cruz.
I'm with God on this one
“Some are eager to point at the National Weather Service and saying that cuts there led to to a lack of warning,” the Republican senator told reporters on Monday. “I think that’s contradicting by the facts and if you look in the facts in particular number one and these warnings went out hours before the flood became a true emergency.” The Trump administration, too, has rejected claims that the service was short-staffed, pointing out that extra forecasters were assigned to the San Antonio and San Angelo field offices. The service’s employees union has said the offices were staffed adequately but were missing some key positions, such as a meteorologist role designed to coordinate with local emergency managers.
His moron MAGAt supporters will vote for him anyways.
Isn't there supposed to be a time when the shit these people do and spout comes back to smother them to death? I'm starting to think all the entertainment I've absorbed over the years was complete bullshit.
