Texas, 'He Is Lying. People Are Dying'

[NorthDallas40]

I don't want to seem incompassinate but this looking to the state capital or DC when things go downhill has to stop....right now in the garage we have an emergency supply section...food, blankets, generator, electric heater and window AC plus weather band radio and first aid stuff...Watched a documentary last night on the coldest place on Earth in Siberia where people have lived for centuries in -50 temps in winter and we can't handle a week in this country

This is in my garage plugged into power to keep the battery topped off. It plugs into a transfer panel that switches 10 critical circuits from grid power to generator power. Yes, my gas furnaces are in those critical circuits. We will even still have internet and TV with this setup. No AC compressors tho. The starting currents are too large. Note the “tent” it allows me to roll the generator out of the garage to keep down on carbon monoxide getting into the house.

so if I understand the argument - Cruz must be openly and repeatedly criticized because about 12 years ago he criticized Obama for playing golf during a pandemic.

glad we have our priorities right

In all fairness it’s kinda his own fault. He’s a big boy politician he doesn’t get a pass on blowing basic optics. But we are well beyond the 15 minutes of fame for this event.

yep - poor optics but he wasn't out posting selfies saying "staying warm!". minorly news worthy then on to other topics. this getting the "investigative report" treatment is nuts.

do we know if all House members from Texas have stayed in Texas? are any in DC? we must get to the bottom of this.

He got his slap on the hand, he’s back in Texas. Is Texas magically fixed now? No. Was it going to be? No. This is just another example of how far people on the Left think they can take things because of November and Georgia. They see this as opening to turn Texas Blue and they keep their hypocrisy rolling on. Cruz should‘ve known better, but this is overkill and every single person knows it is.

Oh yes absolutely. The MSM appreciated the handoff on giving them something to deflect to so as to not have to talk about Cuomo killing NY senior citizens or Biden’s deflection from a daily growing list of campaign promises broken.

Even magic can't fix Texas.

I actually deleted something about Cuomo in my post. Haha

Which is actually where Cruz should have gone and then he could claim he was focused on the situation and in DC to facilitate a rapid federal response

 

[lawgator1]

In other words....Nothing he could do or not do is going to be criticized. Good Lord man, expand your thinking

He should have just said that he agreed that the optics were bad, he accepts the criticism, and is glad to be back to help out any way he can. The claim he had some kind of epiphany and came back on his own is just ... pathetic.

Describing Mexico as a 3rd world apocalyptic nightmare sounds racist, xenophobic, and non inclusive.

Once the cold weather is over are the illegals going to go back to Mexico?

He is

Texas man ‘freezes to death’ in recliner amid frigid temperatures

A Texas man reportedly “froze to death” in his recliner amid the freezing temperatures sweeping through the region.

The 60-year-old victim, who was not identified, was found dead in his chair on Wednesday after his home in Abilene lost power for three days, one of three people to die in that city, KTXS 12 reported.

Things that should never happen in the United States of America:

#1. Freezing to death inside of your residence when you are paying your electricity bill on time.

Agreed, he should have had contingencies.

If "solid", every Mexican in TX should be headed home NOW.

So being a xenophobe is cool now?

Well beyond, but when has that stopped the MSM before from moving on to another important issue.

 

[hog88]

LOL.

What’s LOL funny is that you think anyone else but yourself is responsible for your well-being.

So, being responsible for your own well-being should extend beyond the reasonable expectation that paying your electricity bill on time in a first world country (though we may be slipping, we still qualify) guarantees your ability to avoid freezing to death....
