It’s funny because people are going to die and he’s making fun of them before they do.
And they keep voting this asshole back into office. Texas, go figure.
they like big things in Texas. doesn't really matter what it is, just that it's big.
And this guy is pretty much the biggest asshole they've got.
"I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz."
I'm voting for Collin Allred, I'm just one vote though.
lol over 200 people died when I went to Cancun lol get it guys? Get the joke?????
What an ass.
Classic Republican humor!
If Ted Cruz sees his shadow in Cancun there will 6 be weeks without power in Texas.
This is a top tier comment. Thank you.
I refuse to give any clicks to any headlines that use the word slammed or any derivative or synonym thereof
Unless it's a wrestling news website
Or if it's followed by welcoming you to the jam
Or an article about doors.

Who keeps voting for this professional gimp? Do you guys get off on making your own lives worse? Has he done anything to help you or people you know? It's not a sports team, you don't have to be loyal, it's just a bad politician.
TX is flush with brain dead chumps.
They get off on making others' lives worse, even when it brings theirs down. Remember Cruz was part of the Tea Party, the super crazies that threw the republican party even further right and helped pave the way for Maga.
Read the room, asshole.
Enjoy taxpayer-funded trips to Cancun while you can, because you're on the ticket in November, and you won't have the benefit of being in an off-year election or Conservative Californians this time.
Bold of you to assume taxpayers fund the majority of his income. Ted Cruz is an extremely corrupt politician.
Wait. Texas hasn't lynched his ass yet? Damn. I just assumed those cowboys'd getterdun already. Hunh. Must be more talk than walk, I guess.
Texas deserves what it voted for at this point
Yes, the children who aren't even old enough to vote and the people who vote blue clearly deserve to freeze to death while the politicians other people put in power make callous jokes about it.
I mean, I'm a Blue voter here who will leave the moment my work contract is up.
At this point, I've also thrown up my hands and been like "Fuck it. Those of us who tried, tried. Texas deserves what it gets."
I'll keep voting Blue until I bounce somewhere else, but idk how else you want us to feel. It's like screaming into a void here. Abbott had already pushed the 6 week "heartbeat bill", before he got re elected in 2022. That didn't scare Texans then.
It feels like people want oppression here.

He has a savage wit.
And now his dumbest shit will be his legacy. Never forget he stepped down while these treasonists stick to their playbook.
Flapping mouths and getting "slammed" is never news. Yeah he sucks we get it.
he was SLAMMED, SLAMMED I tell you!
There are so many unserious people in power right now it is crazy.
$1,000 dollars to anyone who has video evidence of him getting it on with a rent-a-boy. Completely serious. I will give a grand to anyone who can out him to his conservative family values base. Send me the video and how to pay you. Spend the money however you like.
I'll chip in a few bucks. Let's get this going.
Ok, ok.... Ted "Zodiac Killer" Cruz is a total POS.
However, I'm going to Cancun for first time in a couple weeks.
Anyone have suggestions?
Have fun. Watch out for vendors trying to sell you stuff before you even leave the airport. Only go on tours through your hotel. Mostly to avoid getting ripped off.
It's pretty safe down there. Last trip my spouse and I wandered around Tulum no problem. It's a ways down the coast from Cancun hotel zone. But it was fun seeing some less touristy areas.
The Mayan ruins at Coba, Tulum, and Chichén Itzá are pretty neat if you're into that. Tulum is the smallest but not too difficult to get to. The other two are inland and will be a bit of a trip.
If you drink alcohol and have never had one before try a paloma. Bonus points for going with tajin on the glass rim. I'm a huge fan. Been drinking those for years after a friend who grew up in Mexico taught me. But I enjoy grapefruit and spicy food which I realize isn't common.
Holy shit, lol, talk about tone deaf. Though I think there's also a serious note of disdain for the stupid, racist hicks who keep him in power; and how amused he is that he can shit on them and still get their vote.
Let them eat cake.
Fuck you, Ted.
Not surprising. Many Texans thought it was not funny.
