That's what he does. He runs home when the cold comes.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 80 points 3 months ago

I still don't understand why people call him Ted...

His name is Raphael, and always was up until he needed to trick white supremacists into thinking he was white too

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 42 points 3 months ago

And he's Canadian.

[-] normonator@lemmy.ml 36 points 3 months ago

Forget about that part. We got rid of him, he's your problem now.

[-] halfeatenpotato@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago

Aren't you people supposed to be nice?

The polite thing to do would be to pick up your own garbage and toss it yourself.

[-] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago

He self advertised as pure scum being and the americans from the south grabbed him like he was made of gold. You took it you keep it.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

You can't just dump your garbage over here. Dispose of it properly by yourself. Compost that shit.

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

Garbage moved of it's own accord. You guys fucked Beiber up, you get Fled.

Is this that same Cruz who called to stop attacking pedofiles? The same one who went to Cancun? The one ended up working like a dog for a man who insulted his wife? Or is it the one who staged immigrants crossing the border?

That Cruz?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Yeah he also once ran for human president.

Cuck Cruz

As long as Texans are dumb enough to vote for this asshole again and again, he does not need to worry.

[-] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

And they are, which is so fucking frustrating. I will never not be salty about Colin Allred losing to him. I really thought they'd be irate over him fleeing Snowpocalypse and Texans actively dying INSIDE their homes in 2021.

But no, he won the fucking popular vote. Again.

Also, as someone who moved from Texas to Cali: Fuck off Fled Cruz we don't fucking want you or your ilk in this state.

Also, also, I find it extremely funny that he's leaving Texas ahead of the winter storm again, and I'm heading back to Texas tomorrow to surprise a friend for her birthday. I wish I wasnt living through Snowmaggeden 2: Electric Boogaloo to be quite honest.

They actually think that though.

Sonofabitch.

Welp, good luck Texans.

Your grid is going down again.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

Ah yes the yearly service interruptions brought to you by the superior free market.

What is wrong with a company spiking the price of electricity by 4,000%? Don't like it just switch to another company that will do the same thing. Choice is wonderful.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 months ago

You second college class in MacroEcon, or an AP Macro Econ course... generally goes over how cartels are bad, and the government tends to run utilities because if they don't, you get the exact situation that Texas has.

And they'll reelect him next round too.

[-] human@slrpnk.net 29 points 3 months ago

Someone needs to check his house for abandoned dogs.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 26 points 3 months ago

Kristi can deal with those.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago

Again?

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago

And he'll still get re-elected. He doesn't give a fuck about his supporters but they don't care. Being left for dead in the cold is still better than voting for a lib amirite?

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 21 points 3 months ago

Fled knows California is nice, because of the taxes.

he doesn't have a private plane?

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Those planes are Effing expensive

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 45 points 3 months ago

I can take solace in the fact that for all the selling out and boot licking this guy does, he still has to fly commercial.

[-] Rothe@piefed.social 14 points 3 months ago

It is always astounding how cheap they are willing to sell their souls and self-respect. But I guess it is so cheap because there was nothing there to begin with.

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

~~He said he will be back before the storm... so he is going on a 24hr vacation out if the country? ~~

Edit: Oh I thought I read cancun somewhere

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 3 months ago

Last time I was there, Laguna Beach was very much inside of the US, ridiculous right wing rhetoric about California being "unamerican" aside.

That said, I'd trust 100% human Senator Ted Cruz to beat the 100m world record before I trust him to be telling the unvarnished truth.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

Supposed to rain today in Laguna Beach which makes this even stupider

Like clockwork.

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

I was gonna say. Didn't he do this last time when everyone's water pipes froze and the power went out?

[-] KhantoBlackhand@lemmy.today 11 points 3 months ago

Yep Cancun Cruz loves to act like foreskin and disappears when things get hard.

[-] MunkyNutts@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Never heard of the Waffle House Index, I find it comical that the FEMA uses it, informally.

Wtf surprised he doesn't fly private

[-] rekabis@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

This. Hella surprised he’d risk muggle transport and be recognized and called out.

Honestly he did less harm as the Zodiac Killer.

[-] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

He’s not on a chartered flight? I find that hard to believe.

[-] Zoabrown@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Patterns like this are why people notice optics so quickly—leadership moments tend to stand out most when things get tough

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 8 points 3 months ago

Twice is a coincidence, thrice is a pattern.

[-] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

lol he flies commercial?

[-] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

And coach, at that. Makes me wonder if it's AI. But congresspeople aren't always lavish and rich outside of their day jobs, and we know that Cruz is a glutton for degradation.

Our overlords. The idle rich.

[-] Mauriciobravo@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Honestly, patterns like this feel funny because they tap into shared experience—people notice routines and coincidences. Even if it’s tongue-in-cheek, it’s a reminder how we all look for signals when things feel uncertain.

[-] SparroHawc@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

To Laguna Beach, apparently.

(I kid. Calling Cruz 'tough' is like calling meringue 'dense'.)
