Two Types of People

 

United States Congresswoman from New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who is constantly attacked by Republicans including this week by all Texas GOP members, has raised $3.2 million to help the people of Texas and is in Houston right now working at a food bank with fellow female members of Congress, Sylvia Garcia and Sheila Jackson Lee, both from Texas.

In comparison, Texas Senator Ted Cruz tried to take a Vacation in Mexico and was shamed into coming back. Since then all he has done is try to spin his multiple LIES and excuses. If you don't know, when he was first shamed, he told the press his daughters wanted to go on a trip and he was just escorting them and coming back. Then it came out that his return ticket was originally for Saturday, and he didn't switch it to Thursday until Thursday morning. Then his wife's friends gave the "New York Times" her texts, inviting them to come join them on their "our house is freezing" trip to Mexico. So Ted started spinning how he regretted it almost immediately. Yeah, immediately after social media exploded with pics of him fleeing the disaster in the state he represents.

Then the of course it came back to the classic Republican pivot. It's not his fault. The blame belongs to media and liberals for him being a piece of shit. If the media didn't tell people he was a piece of shit, the he wouldn't be one, right? As for the liberals, it has to be some of their fault too, because they have been calling for regulation and upgrades to the system in Texas for years, but if they didn't do that, you wouldn't know the regulations and upgrades were so desperately needed and called for TEN YEARS AGO when a similar Winter storm happened.

As for the guy Ted Cruz beat out in his last election, Beto O'Rourke, who is not an elected official, he has organized volunteers, and along with him, they have made 784,000 wellness calls to seniors in Texas this week, along with getting people rides to warming centers or bringing them needed supplies.

Oh yeah, but Ted Cruz did do something. He and fellow Republican Senator from Texas, John Cornyn sent a letter to President Biden requesting Federal aide to help Texas, after Biden had already said he was sending aide. The same type of aide, by the way, they both were opposed to giving California during the wildfires and the same aide they opposed giving New York and New Jersey after “Super storm” Sandy.

There's two types of people. People like AOC, Sylvia Garcia, Sheila Jackson Lee and Beto who lead, who have compassion and get attacked for caring about their fellow humans. They take the attacks and slurs and keep on moving forward.

Then there's people like Ted Cruz, who honestly only qualifies as a person based solely on his physical form. Otherwise, he's just a piece of shit, like his fellow Republicans in Texas, Greg Abbott, Dan Crenshaw and John Cornyn, along with too many others, who lie and take no accountability and only care about their bank accounts.

I'll take the AOC, Beto type, who give a damn. Leaders that actually lead and get things done.

What's Bigger in Texas? The Bullshit!

 

Texans love to use that old line, that "Everything is bigger in Texas." What's actually bigger in Texas is their, arrogance, their hypocrisy and their lies...Their bullshit!

For two days now, Republican lawmakers/politicians in and from Texas have been trying to cast the blame of their failures onto, "liberals," AOC, who's from New York, as well as President Biden and Vice President Harris. They are trying to say "green energy" is why millions of Texans have no power. Governor Abbott and Congressman Dan Crenshaw being the two loudest voices, along with Republican news network, FOX NEWS.

What they want you to ignore is the facts. Things that are public record, for anyone to see, as long as they actually want to see and know the facts. They are counting on people to 1. trust them and 2. be dumb or 3. both.

These lying bastards have been telling everyone that the mass power outages brought on by a historic (for Texas) Winter storm is because of the failings of "green energy." Wind and Solar being their top targets, as well as nuclear. What they aren't telling you is 88% of the power in Texas comes from coal and natural gas. Twenty hours ago, wind, solar and nuclear were all back online, while the coal and gas are not. 

They made a big stink about wind turbines freezing up and needing to be de-iced. That right there is what got me looking into this, because up north, wind turbines never stopped working. For example, 14 degrees in Toronto and those things were still going. So what happened? Texas being greatly opposed to government regulations did not choose to implement the de-icing regulation when they put up their wind turbines. As a matter of fact, the electrical grid in Texas was deregulated, privatized and taken of interconnected networks to avoid federal regulation. Yet here they are trying to blame the federal government for their failures.

Funny how Republicans who claim to be the party of "personal responsibility" are always looking to blame someone else for their fuck-ups!

Let's also not forget the the many Texas Republicans like Ted Cruz who spent a great deal of time shit talking California for having power issues and rolling blackouts during this past years wildfires. Cruz along with fellow Texas Senator, John Cornyn voted against sending California any federal aide. Both also agreeing with Trump that "Blue States" shouldn't get help, ignoring the fact that "Blue States" carry the bulk of this country's economy. Yet both Senators Cruz and Cornyn were asking for Federal Emergency Funds this weekend before the storm even got bad. The majority of those Federal Emergency Funds come from tax revenue from Connecticut, Massachusetts,  New York, New Jersey and Washington.  

So maybe next time Ted Cruz bitch, moaning and complaining about the evils of SOCIALISM, lets all tell him to shut the fuck up with his LYING and fear-mongering.

I have friends in Texas and I hate to be shitting on their state and hope they don't take it personally, but people, we have to call out the lies. Stop letting the Politicians, their corporate interests and Fox News lie to you.
