    More importantly, he stayed on vacation after the disaster.

    Looks like the flood happened on the 4th and ted was seen in Texas on the 7th.

    On Saturday, July 5, at about 6 p.m. local time (11 a.m. ET)—more than 24 hours after the Guadalupe River burst its banks—Cruz and his wife were spotted by a Swamp spy lining up outside the iconic tourist site.

    “He was with his family and a lone security guard,” said an eyewitness at the Parthenon. “As he walked past us, I simply said, ‘20 kids dead in Texas and you take a vacation?’

    “He sort of grunted and walked on. His wife shot me a dirty look. Then they continued on with their tour guide.”

    Rafael is like a groundhog…

    If he won’t show his shadow in Texas, watch out for extreme weather.

    If he pops his head up, it’ll be a nice sunny day

    “People were sleeping in the middle of the night when the flood came,” said Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary. “That was an act of God; it’s not the administration’s fault the floods hit when it did.”

    Damn, why would God do this, Karoline?

    Rafael always flees the country when those he represents need him there. He was in Mexico when their janky third world power grid collapsed during winter weather.

    The warnings went out hours ahead of time and the officials in charge failed to react.

    But hey! These critics say otherwise! And when I say “critics say otherwise” I actually mean that critics criticized funding cuts. And when I put that quote next to a quote from a politician, it can trick people into thinking they’re saying what I said they’re saying!

    This article is shit. Who gets high of this? It doesn’t do anything for me.
