He says all we can do is pray anyhow.

But. He's a republicon, so of course he lied again.

He could have issued some sort of mealy mouth statement about him and his office are closely monitoring the ongoing situation.

But noooo……

Republicans want to appear as being virtuous and caring without doing any of the actual work.

So they lie.

Permanently.

Why exactly was it that he was reelected?

He slid off to Cancun during the power outage, remember?

What an asshole.

That strikes me as a little strange for a Senator from Texas.

July 5th, 2018:

if this had been a Democratic senator; there'd be non-stop coverage for the next news cycle and the talking heads would be talking about how the "Democrat-party" just doesn't care about the people. And Jake Tapper would have found his newest biggest scandal to write about. While I've come to expect nothing from Republicans, the absolute dereliction and treachery of the once vaunted "Fourth Estate" is particularly painful, because I expected more.

Those girls might have been alive today.

I don't think 'fetch' is going to catch on

we begin to deceive.

The silver lining is that nobody around here believes anything anymore. I hear "is that really true?" a lot.

If the good citizens of Texas wanted to discontinue their relationship with this dolt, they would have voted him out a long time ago. His proclivities are very well-established.

My apologies to the even better citizens of Texas - Democrats - who are themselves the victims of their neighbors' self-loathing tendencies.
