Shaky, but somebody named CRU, R on a United Flight from Cancun to Houston is attempting to upgrade to business class.

Until this was verified I was concerned that there was some poor soul out there that people regularly mistook for Ted Cruz.

And from that report:

Photographs of Cruz, R-Texas, at an airport began circulating on social media late Wednesday, with people alleging that the senator had left the state for Cancun amid a major crisis. A Republican source told Fox News that the allegations Cruz was traveling to the Mexican city are true.

4,260,553 CruzQ 4,045,632 Beto. I sure wish people would stop putting all Texans in the same voting basket. The energy empire runs the politicians and therefore the state. That does not mean there are not millions of us who do not want it that way and are fighting to change it.

Ted Cruz took a page out of Chris Christie’s playbook. It didn’t work for Christie, and it won’t work for Cruz. Remove Cruz now.

These people are unfit to be in human civilization. Yes Cruz and many of these Republicans should be sent to an island where they have to fend for themselves like they have forced others to do.

Fucking Typical, maybe Ted will finally be voted out of office. He was with the insurrection and now he’s on the side of the winter storm. Yup : Asshole!
