:lol: I thought endorsing the man who called his wife ugly and alleged his dad was involved in the assassination of JFK was the most cowardly thing Cruz could do.

Turns out it's throwing his kids under the bus in a scandal :o

Cruz seems determined to hand his Senate seat over to the Democrats. He only narrowly failed in 2018, we will see what he manages to pull off in 2024.

2024 is too far away. This will be forgotten by then.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Maybe. This is the sort of scandal that I think potentially sticks in voters mind and just defines someone.

I don't know if it'll help the Democrats but if I was an ambitious Republican (perhaps even one a little Trumpier than Cruz) I'd be eyeing that seat.
Let's bomb Russia!

The point is he is building a reputation and an impression. I don't think people will remember this particular incident but it will be part of the general opinion on Mr. Cruz.

How exactly does one get Trumpier than Cruz? :hmm:

But what is actually happening in Texas? I'm guessing most city dwellers aren't equipped to be without power or heating for days in freezing weather.

This is some weird end of times shit going on.

Guy in the video said he saw the like just eight years ago, which kind of contradicts the hype in the video.

Yeah and Istanbul is very cold and snowy in the winter - I was there for a January break a few years ago and it was fucking Baltic.

They might not get blizzards like that very often, but Istanbul gets snow more regularly than London (and looks very beautiful with it).

The snow in Saudi strikes me as a bit weirder.

Yeah, I recall images like that showing up now and then on the news, even when I was a kid. It's not a regular event, but it does happen. I recall videos of people building snowmen in Jordan some year ago.

Well he didn't divorce his wife after Trump insulted her. He should do that, and disavow his father.  Then say that Trump spiritually adopted him, and he's only into young blond babes like daddy.
PDH!

So this is what Spring feels like, 14C here.  :bowler:
