Cruz says he returned to Texas as quickly as he could after news of devastating floods broke. Flight data tells a different story.

So he toured the Parthenon during 4th of July weekend, 24 hours AFTER people were caught in the flood.

Rafael Cruz just doesn’t love Americans does he?

    He’s some kind of indicator species. When he migrates, it’s time to stockpile water and food. Way cheaper than expensive satellites or weather balloons.

      I don’t know about cheaper considering his chronic vacationing is on the taxpayer’s dime.

      I had a team leader ten years ago or more when I worked in a incident management room, where he would be the duty manager for the south of the UK.

      You could tell something was going to happen or a griefy job was coming in, because he’d nip out for a fag for fifteen minutes just seconds before the first phone call would come in.

      It was almost impressive, and once most of the policy or callout decisions had been made, he’d come back in with a cup of tea oblivious to the whole thing.

      Absolute legend of a bloke really, I was just jealous that I didn’t have that sixth sense.

        I have a coworker like that with our office phones. Our phone system rolls over to ringing the entire office if the original person doesn’t pick up. Phone lines will be dead silent all day long. Then this one coworker goes for a quick 15 minute walk, and instantly gets six phone calls back-to-back, which inevitably rings the rest of the office for each call. Then as soon as the last call wraps up, she casually strolls back in from her walk.

        I’ve had the reverse: a few times I’ve connected into the shop just as things were falling apart. It’s hard to prove your innocence when you’re the only admin on the system just as it all goes to hell.
