In other news, I just saw a picture of Nanciy Pelosi.

Nanciy Pelosi, is good for nothing other than a reminder of the need for term limits for congress's seats.

what a jangly, awkward segue into something totally unrelated to the thread.

This is either an agenda being worked or a catastrophic synaptic misfire.

Either option is an epic fail.

You have confused a pastime with a job.

You know exactly where you can stick your cancel culture remarks...

This is simple, Show me where you are right, then I'll shut up...You are like Qanon.. Starting and spreading the dumbest rumors and conspiracy theories..

Stuff like that is how we got Trump...Without a doubt, the worst president this country has ever seen

They refuse to look at their own as per usual.

Almost every Republican who voted to impeach Trump, both in the house and senate have received some form of punishment, including censure from their own party from the cult of trump. They wish to expel them from their own party. Then they have the gall to call out Democrats for "cancel culture".

I tried to let the mods deal with it, but they seem to be MIA, and I can't really blame them. I'd rather not read the vile mess that gets spewed in this forum, either, by people who can't defend their positions any other way.

Aren't you a piece of work? Bringing up old, non-relevant personal attacks that were mostly BS blown out of all proportion even back then. Are you proud of yourself?

At least my comments were related to the conversation taking place and weren't attacking anyone. I'm sorry if you feel threatened by anyone that doesn't agree with you and suck down the party line. That must be a god awful way to live your life.

I have a hard time understanding how people keep acting like battered wives when it comes to politicians as they keep falling for the grand dramatic/romantic gesture after decades of constant abuse and abandonment. Although, I suppose that could somewhat explain it.

If my comments were so weak, why didn't you address any of it? Instead you flung old mud that had nothing to do with what I wrote. Talk about weak.

I hate the cancel culture remarks too, unfortunately, message boards make a lot of the cues available in normal conversations difficult. If we'd been face to face you could have seen my eyes practically roll out of my head.

I'd appreciate it if you left off the QAnon comparisons. They're serious, I'm just disgusted with politics and my dry, dark sense of humor in relation to it doesn't translate to text very well.

Yet here you are.

People defend their positions all the time. Some listen and some whine about it. You seem to be the latter of the two.



Really? Questioning the motives of someone who did good for Texans is "related"? That isn't an attack? Nobody is buying that BS.



Yet here you are presenting yourself as a battered wife. Bottom line is Texans received over three million dollars in help. All you can do is try and cast doubt on that with no evidence to support it. Then act like the battered wife.

So much for accountability. You represent the Trumpian way. Cast aspersions on those who do the right things so they sound as bad as the person who did the wrong thing.

Always with the fake media spin. Not surprised. Yep ....keep spreading the big fat trump lie. Despicable bad AOC and Beto doing good work? Media is orchestrating their fake generosity. While trump supporters like Fled Cruz force us to eat snow and die while they travel to Cancun and continue to super spread a deadly virus. So typical. Pffft trump supporters are truly sickening.

Texas Rep. Gary Gates facing backlash after taking private jet to Florida amid outages

State Rep. Gary Gates is under fire from his constituents for leaving House District 28 on Wednesday as much of Fort Bend County struggled without water and power.

After losing power Tuesday, Gates left his home via his private jet Wednesday night and traveled to Orlando, Fla., sparking outrage among many who believe the freshman lawmaker should have remained in his district.

“It really would have been nice to have a state representative helping on the ground, working at a warming center, packing food, etc. rather than immediately (flying) off on a private plane when the going got tough,” said Brian Walz, one of Gates’ constituents. “My neighbors didn’t get to do that when her pipe burst.”

Gates acknowledged the frustration of his critics, but stated that the decision to leave Texas was based on the needs of his family. His pipes burst, he said, and 30 percent of his home was flooded, leaving his sick wife and special needs daughter at risk.

“My wife is still recovering from an illness she has been battling for two weeks, and the room of my adult daughter, who is mentally handicapped and still lives with us, flooded,” Gates said.

By Wednesday morning, Gates added, mold had set in. He had planned to stay with one of his daughters, but she, too, lost power. With no other options, Gates said, he and his family flew to Florida.

Gates’ explanation for leaving was conflicting, according to Stefan Modrich from the Fort Bend Star.

“I spoke to (Gates’) chief of staff today. Gates, owner of Gatesco Inc., a property manager of several apartment buildings in Houston, was on a business trip and meeting with a ‘major vendor’ in Orlando and is returning tomorrow,” Modrich wrote on Twitter.

When questioned about the inconsistent reports, Gates contended that the person Modrich spoke with was not his chief of staff. Gates acknowledged that he did meet with a vendor while in Florida, but it was only because he was already there.

“I told (the source) that I was going to take advantage to meet with one of my major vendors who’s home office is here,” Gates said. “I was able to visit with them and have dinner with their office personnel.”

Gates added that he has been in contact with his district despite being out of state.

“Since arriving in Florida, I have had functioning internet and reliable mobile coverage,” he said. “I have been able to monitor the power restoration process, correspond with constituents and direct the recovery efforts at our apartment complexes.

The chastisement of Gates is similar to that of Sen. Ted Cruz, who was seen boarding a flight for Cancun on Thursday.

On HoustonChronicle.com: Sen. Ted Cruz, back in Houston, calls controversial Cancún trip ‘a mistake’

His critics pointed out the similarities as well. “I guess Gates took Senator Cruz’s lead,” one Facebook user wrote.

Gates stated that he plans to return to the district Friday afternoon.

There seems to be a theme here. Republicans can't seem to grasp the concept that their families can actually go places without them. Unless of course they don't believe that a woman can fly to a location, check into a hotel, probably already done online, and care for their families without them.

Strange times. I wonder what his motive was?

he just whined about being compared to Qanon despite literally doing the same thing they do. its like he's completely oblivious to the fact that he's sounding about as crazy as the Qanon shaman right now.

the lack of self-awareness people display sometimes is simply frightening.

The party of trump doesn’t give a flying duck egg what their senators or congressmen do, as long as they support trump.

And this is what you get. Look at these guys. They are placing blame directly on their daughters and wives for leaving Texans cold and hungry and flying south. Pffft trump supporters.

He usually runs away when I call him out.

How am I acting like a battered wife? I'm not coming back to "you" saying I still love you despite your antics. I'm calling out "your" BS and leaving you.

"You" took my joking posts and acted like they were serious, and then started spewing hate. Good riddance. Hopefully I can keep my hiatus from this awful forum permanent this time.

Yeah, you were joking about questioning her intentions and motives. What hate did I spew? None. Another example of you sounding like a battered wife.

Let me explain something to you. Those people she helped? They don't care about her motives. All they care about is that someone was there to help them. Only people like yourself would try to make someone who did the right thing sound as bad as someone who did the wrong thing.

The fact I pointed that out isn't hate. But that's a label all too familiar for anyone who crosses some of the crazy things people post these days. I actually find it comical and sad at the very same time. The deep desire to cast doubt on people who actually help in a time of need. And then the very person who does it makes the wild claim it's others who spread hate? Hilarious.

Come back or stay gone. The choice is yours. I doubt anyone actually gives a damn one way or the other. But stop acting like the victim when you post unfounded conspiracies about someone's motives for helping those in need. Many of us don't care for that kind of hate.

Gotta love it. He actually said he was joking. That’s the trumpian way. Make up crap about others. Then when they are called out they say GMAB I was joking. Pffft trump supporters are just dense.

Absolutely.

I do not believe he was joking...

The answer is "nothing I didn't already know".

Ted Cruz is a known commodity. For me, AOC is as well (I posted one of the "I'm not a fan of most of what she says, but..." posts further up). She gets mad props from me on this one.

So let’s recap, Texas energy was ill equipped to deal with climate extremes.

Ahem, climate extremes will become the norm, get your ish together. We can now mess with Texas, you don’t get another bailout, you have have been properly warned.

Interesting that being one of the faces of the attempted coup was just a speed bump in terms of his approval rating. Honestly, the Cancun thing was probably a bigger hit to his approval rating, but he'll probably recover from this, too.

Last week, Bill Maher used the Ted Cruz Cancun story as "an example that ish can step in itself."

Karma has made Cruz fat and ugly so he has that to live with. And nowTexas is lifting the mask requirement next week. So he’ll be losing even more of his deplorable voter base to covid. Karma going to get em all.

You do understand that it's just another turned phrase to set the Trumpian crowd on fire.

I mean, come one, Cancel Culture is big on the Right.. Look at this,, Any republican that voted to convict Trump got censured by their state parties. That's Cancel Culture..

If you are going to use that phrase, at least have the dignity to use it on the right also

Dude, they aren’t hearing ya. They cancelled themselves already. Lol

Free People of America! (formerly?)

Today is March 4th, 1, am. We must ask ourselves, to Beware!

How are the Democratic Left going to attack the free people of the US. today, and then blame the Free (thinking), Republicans for it, and then spend an eternity trying to punish the Republicans for events (probably, allegedly, orchestrated by the democratic left,
Which nobody even knows what the heck events we're talking about yet, because all we know so far,

Is the awful, terrible, democratic left, said beware past day, and then pulled this bull, and now they are saying beware March 4th,
so they are probably going to pull more Bull!

(In related opinion, everyone, Look Out! Nancy Pelosi- might be taking a break from lurking in the shadows, stirring her cauldron, to step out of probably
unspeakable things

to once again attack freedom, and free loving people in the US.

So Watch out, ( I think there are 40,000 people, in the elite levels,
They control the media,
They may tell you anything.

They told us for 40 DAYS, to watch out because they might be a victim on March 4th?,
nobody give a crud about March 4th, except for how they, the supposed victims, can
play the victim again, of what I think transpires from their own doings,
so that afterwards, they can blame the free thinking Americans, and Republicans, Again!
For the purpose to
Attack! and Take Freedoms from the US people.

(or at least, Pelosi and Shumur are probably going to take a break from stirring her cauldron, and sitting upright in his coffin, to find some New way to blame Repbulicans, and free thinking Trump voters;

For WHO KNOWS, what the crud they are going to do,
but it is March 4th,

Those dang (irt) Democrats have been warning us, since before January 1st.

I hope, nothing happens, but if anything happens, like past days, We must keep our eyes open for deception.

Be on the lookout for Lies.

God hates liars, Proverbs says so.

Says the Putin bot Sit down son. You people where called communist instigators in the 60’s and 70’s before your comrades found the internet.

Just so we're clear (and context is everything), you're posting about the liberal elite vs the Free-thinking Republicans in a thread where Ted Cruz left TX in the middle of a crisis to tan his fat-#$% in Cancun...?

THROW’s posts are like that AI that wrote a Hallmark Christmas movie by having the plots of many other Hallmark Christmas movies plugged into it. It then spit out a story of its own. One that seems like a very disjointed version of that which was fed into it.

I imagine THROW reading and watching all the craziest stuff on OANN, Newsmaxx, and Tucker Carlson then taking a crack at deciphering it into his own fever dream gibberish.

He uses the same words but they just don’t seem to line up with portraying cognizant thoughts or concepts. But his source material is so lacking in facts and reality we shouldn’t expect more.

LOL

Your post is this in a nutshell....

You are aware that this whole March 4th thing was a Qanon thing that came up after the trump loss right? I mean, it's based on nothing. But hey, when did that ever stop QAnon folks from spouting off the nonsense like this.

The Q is strong in you.

That he uses ‘free thinkers’ and ‘trump voters’ as parallels tells so much about his ability to ACTUALLY free think.

His "free thinker" line came straight from the mouth of Tucker Carlson.

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-media-disinformation-more-powerful-destructive-qanon

Come to find out THROW isn't a free thinker but a Mockingbird.

Disagree. It's an act of cowardice and elitism. I like Ted cruz or well I did, but he is a hypocrite. Bemoaning on his own website the rich and coastal elites.

https://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=video&id=5313



Then scurrying off to freaking CABO. Not going to Florida and disguising his visit as political...MEXICO. It's hypocrital, it's cowardly for anyone who views them self as a leader of men. It's a flat out bitch move.

While true, not a lot he can do, he is an elected representative literally taking a vacation while the people who elected him are suffering. No leader in the history of the world prior to democratic elections would ever retained power after an act of cowardice like this.

Did any of you folks watch the Trump Inauguration yesterday?

I missed it...

I’ve long said, the greatest benefit of Donald Trump would be, he gave tUSA a mirror. Texas is flexing in front that of that same mirror.

If Texas wants to get rid of masks, that’s fine. Just stay out of every neighboring state, your irresponsibility should not be allowed to cross borders.
