Cruz’s Claim He Returned to Texas as ‘Fast as Humanly Possible’ Crumbles

www.thedailybeast.com Cruz’s Claim He Returned to Texas as ‘Fast as Humanly Possible’ Crumbles

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?

I don’t know how many of these disasters happen in Texas, but this guy manages to dodge them with stunning accuracy.
If he weren’t in a leadership role it would be amazing.
- I don't think he has any advanced warning, he probably just is on vacation so much, the odds are in his favor that he'll be out of state when something bad happens.
  When you're a useless lazy piece of shit like him, of course you've fucked off to anywhere else but where the work is.
  
  He like many senators, has a house in the state he represents and it's marked his primary address on his taxes.
  But Cancun Cruz the disgrace to Canada doesn't spend any time there.
  
  Don't a lot of bad things also tend to happen in Texas, given the awesome management team they've got there?
  
  To be fair, it is also a huge state, with a lot of surface area. So it's not unreasonable that they catch more natural disasters than a tiny state.
  What is unreasonable is that it's handled terribly every time. You'd think all those disasters would eventually gain them some experience.
  
  I don't see Alaska facing these problems.
  
  That becomes more of a philosophical exercise: If a disaster occurs in Alaska when no one is there to experience it, is it still a disaster?
- 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 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.
  
  It's incredible really. I should ask him for lottery numbers or stock tips.
  
  I don't smoke, so... I'll be away for half an hour to the bathroom while shit hits the fan. Kthxbye!
  
  If you're in the bathroom and it's hitting the fan, you're doing it wrong.
  
  Hey, I'm not telling you how to poop and I expect the same from you.
  
  kthanxbye
  Love my new word of the ~~day~~ millenium bwahahaha
  
  Congratulations, you are one of today’s lucky 10,000!!!
  
  kthanxbyeeeee!
  
  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.
  
  I don't know about cheaper considering his chronic vacationing is on the taxpayer's dime.
  
  Oh you mean evil liberal weather manipulation devices?
  
  Jewish space lasers, we all know them. MTG go pew pew!
- Texas's infrastructure is so horrible that you honestly don't need a lot of warning to get the hell out.
  Even "those clouds look kind of dark" is good odds of SOMETHING that will cause a disaster to some level.
