This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

99% of the experts who have comments to share on a web forum about Texas don't understand Texas or Texans.

Nobody has asked what Sen. John Cornyn did. He's the OTHER Texas senator. He could have been in the Dominican Republic with fellow chomo Sen. Menendez molesting children.

Please explain how Ted, the Fed, would have dealt with the vortex and Texas electric co ops.

Look, Ted did what we all would do if married to a good looking gal worth millions and told she wanted to go to Cancun or she was cutting him off. He said, "What time?" Sheesh.
Elementary

Thats what we say when fuggers up north are crying and dying in 110 degree so called "heat waves".

Truth.

The MSM Cruz bouncy ball is to distract from Cuomos murders.

True in both directions.

If my state was getting invaded in ridiculous numbers by 3rd world “asylum seekers”, and my senator was vacationing in that schitheel country while my state was reeling from a disastrous storm instead of fighting for federal aid or at least something, I’d be a bit peeved.

But hey, Tejanos are a weird breed by your own admission.

Back to ERCOT...

This might have been a tough pill to swallow for the 5 - they gave up a little extra spending cash with that resignation. Word is that the board members reported spending 5-12 hours per week with ERCOT “duties.”

Didn't people used to get "Tarred-and-Feathered" and/or hung over such things?

TV networks are missing out on a giant revenue stream. Pay-per-View politician punishments.

Just imagine the number of sitting federal, state, and local politicians that would be jumping ship ASAP if the media's new job was to hunt down corruption so as to be able to televise and monetize the public punishments........

The "environmentally conscious" who'd prefer not to be covered in oil (fossil fuel) could instead be covered in honey but instead of feathers, they then get covered in ants.

Problem is they will go to some other cushy regulating job and the ones they replace will move to ERCOT

I sit on several professional boards. They generally pay for travel and meeting fee. The real meaning of ISO is International Sightseeing Organization. They hold all the meeting in the countries of supporting host companies. Being a member is a good way to see the world on your credentials.

Quite possibly the dumbest thing I ever read. Are you in TX? I am. There was NOTHING Ted Cruz could have done for me or anyone else since this is a state issue. Were you born dumb or did you have to work at it?

Herein lies the rub. Texas can and has in the past, handled this problem quite well. The issue is ever since the Porvenir incident, the federal government has tied the hands of state LE in such matters. Hands off! Let Border Patrol handle it. We,re from the federal govt and we are here to help!!!

Yep. And there are ways to deal with pesky state officials that insist on going by the law and the constitution.

Not saying state LE isn’t down on the border. They are. But the ROE are not what they should be on account of the Feds

FWIW The ROE aren’t exactly what the guys in green would like them to be either.

Regardless, Cruz’s stunt looks pretty lousy to me. For any elected official to vacation in that country is disgusting.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you BGG.

Texas is a very special place...

More and more states are learning from Texas that it is the state's own responsibility to stand up for their rights under the U.S. Constitution and the States own Constitution.

It's Trump withdrawals. The media hasn't done anything for four years but attack him. Now they're grasping at straws and the next best thing.

It's like when heroin addicts shoot up Tylenol.
