Ted Cruz works FOR and represents his home state of Texas.

They both left during an epic winter storm.

Two wrongs don't make a right, right?

One is worse. One guy calls all the shots  in an emergency. One calls none of them. Doofus. One looks bad. One is bad.

And it's a good thing California is so rich and independent. They won't need federal help.

Oh, so you don't think a U.S. Senate member has any pull regarding federal emergency response and disaster aid? And he joins his family in warm, comfy Cancun when his home state faces a winter storm like it hasn't seen in recorded history and for which it isn't prepared?

Ever heard of FEMA?

The federal government has far more emergency-response resources than a state.

I personally interviewed Rick Perry (doosh) and John Cornyn (love him) when they dropped in after Hurricane Rita.

Damn, boyo, I've batted you around like a pickleball bigly today. 

You should take the night off. Seriously.

Ted Cruz has to actually be in Texas to push for federal funds. It’s a requirement.

Wait, so you said Ted Cruz works in D.C. but has to be in Texas to push for federal funds yet fled Texas for Cancun when the state he was supposed to be in to request funds faced its historically worst winter disaster.

Gawdblammit go to bed, son!

You're like the Union's second charge at the Battle of Cold Harbor.

I know you’re from some shitty little town in the part of Texas no one talks about or wants to live in, but they do have some sarcasm down there, right?

No, the Baptists have outlawed it and will gut you crotch to eyeball with a dull deer antler if they catch a whiff of it.

Their old ass outdated power grid isn't holding up?

Well how are they supposed to charge their electric cars and lawnmowers? At least they can still cook since they have gas ovens.

Hopefully the homes where all of our California Geeks live stays dry, safe and undamaged. For the state, hopefully the damage comes in under estimated projections for people, buildings and nature. I bust on California but I don't wish it or anyone there any harm.

When you're more worried about banning gas stoves instead of rebuilding a decrepit infrastructure then yes. You get what you vote for.

Will it be strong enough to wash all the poop off the streets/sidewalks in San Francisco ?

Good thing Newsome will lobby for Federal relief dollars - despite bragging how well off CA is - to put that poop BACK on the streets after the storm. After all, priorities!  They have to help the homeless.

Starts a topic on weather.   Cant make it further than a link before referring to Trump.  

This is what TDS looks like.

Should take care of those homeless who were burrowing into river banks and building dens in there.

 

I pity the ocean life.  All the feces and syringes and tarps and trash from the homeless encampments will wash on in and likely kill much habitat.

That river thingy is supposed to come here and rain on our golf tournament.  :( 

I was planning to go on Friday with my son, but decided to hold off on buying a ticket until we see the weather.  Friday looks dry but we'll see. 

The Sonoran Desert has two rainy seasons:  the summer monsoon, and the week of the Phoenix Open (ok, Jan/Feb). :wall:

I live in Glendale/Pasadena area and have had about 6 inches of rain in the last 15 hours and it isn't letting up.

Even the stoplights can't cope with the rain here in L.A. 😁

Nor Cal where I am seems okay so far, just roadway flooding and downed trees, power outages. 

The wind yesterday/last night was really bad, so keeping an eye on a few fence posts in our yard.

This is one thing I don’t get and I assume there is some reason it isn’t done. Dig some canals or something Cali.

Its not all that fresh after percolating through salienated fields, running across roadways saturated in spilled petroleym products and through feces infested streets.

It can't be helped in L.A. the storm drainage system is set up that way to go straight to the ocean. Otherwise there would be huge flooding problems.
