@MeidasTouch Anybody tracking ted cruz?
@maskedscheduler @MeidasTouch
Packing up the family again for another "vacation" I'll bet.
@maskedscheduler @MeidasTouch he must be in Cancun about to throw his kids under the bus again
@MeidasTouch what a surprise. He did nothing and nothing has changed. Shocking
@MeidasTouch Up next: Ted Cruz catching the next plane to Cancun.

@MeidasTouch Yes, but they can take comfort from the fact that books the Texas GOP doesn't like are being purged from school libraries, and the state AG is busy trying to collect drivers license information on trans Texans.

Priorities, man.

@MeidasTouch Texans are like Charlie Brown and Abbott is Lucy perennially pulling away the football. At some point you have to wonder if they enjoy this. They keep voting for it.
@carowe @MeidasTouch Not everyone votes for it. And the group is getting bigger every election. It will take time, but we will get there.
@MeidasTouch GQP can't govern
@Waterloo @MeidasTouch but they push all the right culture war buttons.
@Waterloo @MeidasTouch Thet don't want to govern. They want to make you mad and find someone to blame.
@MeidasTouch As they say, the 1 star for Texas is its review out of 5.
@MeidasTouch
...and yet, they re-elected him. ?
@MeidasTouch Imagine if Texas was allowed to succeed from the United States, they'd be SOL. They can't even keep the lights on when it gets cold. I feel bad for the Texans going through this, but they'd better start getting wise and electing better people to the government and fix these problems.
@MeidasTouch how....what....TX....BETO....wtfrig
@MeidasTouch I just don't understand how Texans can continue to vote for this guy to govern them
@MeidasTouch Explained here.
America's power grid is in rough shape.....precluding the glorious green battery powered future ignorant types keep evangelizing.

@MeidasTouch I’ve been having grid-ptsd for two days just waiting for the power to go out.
@MeidasTouch One thing Greg Abbott does well is lie. He was paid by power generators to allow them to not fix the problems. One such company gave his campaign $1 million…and that’s just one. He won easily and now we are right back in the soup, thanks to blind republican voters.
@MeidasTouch at some point you have to accept stupid is as stupid does- they keep voting this disgrace into office.
@MeidasTouch I hate to say this but WHY DO THEY KEEP ELECTING THIS MONSTER?
@MeidasTouch And yet he still won by almost 11 points. WTF, TX?
@MeidasTouch and these people kept him when they could have had Beto
@MeidasTouch you get what you deserve when you vote for assholes.
@MeidasTouch and yet Texans voted for him AGAIN vs Beto who would have been a much much better governor 🙄🙄😢😢💔
@MeidasTouch those who voted for him have it coming. It sucks for the sensible people who voted for Beto.
@MeidasTouch he is republican isn’t he? 😝

@MeidasTouch

They had a choice for someone to work for the people but chose the sane grift.

@MeidasTouch
In Maine, about a quarter of the state’s households are without.
But for us, thatch’s just a little chill 😊

@MeidasTouch

I went here and found there are over 14k people without power now. Unfortunately, the map showing where those outtages are won't load....convenient but one can take a look nonetheless

@MeidasTouch

There must be some kind of mass delusion that keeps this idiot in power.

@MeidasTouch
So many people are thinking they could have had Beto.
@RadicalWoman111 @MeidasTouch
He should move out of that radical state and move to somewhere he get have a better chance of ousting a Republican, definitely not Floriduh.
@RadicalWoman111 @MeidasTouch I will never understand how Texas chose Abbott over Beto. My heart goes out to those who voted for Beto, and I have no sympathy for the people who didn’t. And that includes the non-voters.
@MeidasTouch Shocked he’d lie about that—AGAIN!! 🙄 Cannot believe we have to tolerate him once again!!! 🙈
@MeidasTouch To know ones surprise with a modicum of intelligence.
@MeidasTouch that’s what they get for reelecting Abbot again
@MeidasTouch , color me not the least bit surprised. Sorry to rational Texas voters.
@MeidasTouch ....huh....did that state not just re-elect that guy🙄
@MeidasTouch If they don’t know he’s a liar by now, I don’t know what to say. IMO it says more about those who continue to vote for him.
@MeidasTouch In all fairness, it’s too cold in Texas to rape anyone. #AbbottPromisesKept
@MeidasTouch Difficult to have sympathy for people who vote for this. I can only deduce they like it.
@MeidasTouch My question is WHY do they vote him back in after the last power outage?!? It makes no sense
