1. Hypocrisy aside... SEND US FEDERAL MONEY.

[PatSeg]

2. Well done

You summed it up beautifully.

[underpants]

[Fritz Walter]

4. Not to mention common sense!

He "got" none of that either.

[Skittles]

25. is that why he skipped off to Cancun

arrogant fucker

[underpants]

27. Yeah I saw that.

Typical.

[aggiesal]

5. IOKIYAR ...

[DENVERPOPS]

6. You can characterize all RepubliCONs with three things:

1) Hypocrites

2) Liars

3) Anything they say is 180 degrees from fact or reality.......

SERIOUSLY

And especially in situations like this. AND the people keep voting for them, and keep believing everything they say, even when they are being screwed royal by them..........

It defies logic or reason at any level.............

[yuiyoshida]

7. One of these people needs to be tried for sedition.

Yes. You Ted Cruz.

[TexasBushwhacker]

8. Well, they're all Dominionist Christians

So if they're praying for it to warm up and the power to come back on, they aren't praying hard enough.

[sandensea]

12. Good one. Although I thought those guys prayed non-stop FOR disasters

"A great calamity to herald the Rapture!" or some such nonsense.

If Christ ever did come back, Bible-thumping Republicans would have the most to worry about I think.

[central scrutinizer]

9. Cruz voted against aid for The Northeast after Superstorm Sandy

But saw no hypocrisy when asking for help after Hurricane Harvey blasted Houston

[marble falls]

16. I forgot that.

[PatrickforO]

10. This is the fruit of the neoliberal 'privatize, deregulate and gut government programs'

policies.

Policies AFFECT us, and the policy of deregulation of power utilities because 'they don't want no gummint' in Texas is a singularly bad one.

The private sector cannot and will not uphold the public good - things like power, water, policing, fire fighting, and K-12. It just won't. This is why we have taxes, government, and regulation.

And this is why the Democrats need to do DEEP canvassing to educate low-information voters.

We also need to be suggesting a new Fairness Doctrine to our members of Congress, and the Biden Administration. Obama has hit the nail on the head several times when he's said that not all Americans are operating with the same set of facts.

THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

[BobTheSubgenius]

11. They should be HAMMERED with this kind of news, and as vociferously and often as possible.

Seems par for the course, though. Patrick was the lowlife that sad older people should be happy to sacrifice their lives so the economy wouldn't take as drastic a hit.

He should have been flayed alive on TV for that.

[Oldem]

13. We were supposed to expect anything more from these lowlifes? Not me. I'd

expect exactly that, and they'll do it again the next chance they get. A hypocrite's gotta be a hypocrite.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. Carnival Cruz had a mea culpa tweet yesterday

I'm surprised it hasn't been deleted.

17. For some reason that emoji pisses me off more than ever. This is a joke to him.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Hope you are hanging on there okay

We're getting ready for more of the frozen stuff here tomorrow.

[marble falls]

15. Best "Pic of the Day" evah! This event will at least Purple this state in Nov.

[bronxiteforever]

19. Kick and recommend. Brilliant!

[DFW]

20. If there were any justice in Texas, this would be on the front page of every paper still publishing

Instead, you'd be lucky if it made the back of the op-ed page in the Houston Chronicle or the Dallas Morning News.

[JohnnyRingo]

21. Excellent!

Their asses are showing.

[MAJones]

22. This is what happens

When you talk too much. Republicans have no forsight, no self control or self awareness. Blah blah blah. That is all that comes out of their empty heads. Constantly.

[Skittles]

26. they offered no words of encouragement or comfort for suffering people

now that Texas got slammed, he took a flight to Cancun

the hypocrisy of repukes is absolutely stunning

[dalton99a]

23. Kick

[calimary]

24. Bastards.
