You don’t think there’s something wrong with your elected representative not having any idea how much a loaf of bread costs?

Their age absolutely figures in, when you consider the last time they set foot in a grocery store


Exactly. And Collins gets to play “concerned” too, because they have they votes without them.


Oh please do not throw me into that briar patch

Did he inherit the Keebler Elf title from Jeff Sessions? Was there an interim Elf?

So you’ve read the forensic reports?


and we can thank Trump for emboldening this toxic nonsense


I posted this yesterday, but here you go
The “user error” explanation given was complete bullshit. When you voted straight party, that was it. There was no way for the voter to accidentally switch the senatorial vote after that. You’d have to be very deliberate to pull that off. And it has nothing to do with “rendering”.
The Texas Tribune took the SoS’s statement as gospel. But the SoS was the fox guarding the henhouse.


Might want to read up on Ann Richards, for one.

Lady I know from Twitter posted it on there, and took it in Harris County.
And I don’t know why you’re so concerned about its veracity; the issue was widely reported on in Texas during the 2018 election. Search for that election and the phrase “vote flipping” and you should find out all you need to know-- well, at least all that Texas election officials were willing to admit to.
The same thing happened in Cruz’s 2012 election-- same voting machine manufacturer, too-- although it was more widely reported on in 2018. They’ve cheated for him twice now.


I’ve seen maybe two other images of the “Party = D, Senator = Cruz” ballot “error”, but that’s the only one I saved (also because I know who took it).
When I went back to see what had come from the “investigation”, my heart just sank when I saw that the press had simply swallowed the line given to them by the Abbott-appointed Texas Secretary of State: “oops, no big deal”.


Yes, that’s right! I’d actually forgotten about that. I was never in the habit of voting straight party anyway, because once upon a time I would actually vote for Republicans if they were the only ones in their respective races. I figured the guy earned my vote for at least being the only person willing to do the job.
Not anymore. They can burn in hell.

And we’re supposed to be fervent conservationists with respect for our parks and wildlife, but you can’t eat a fish you catch here without getting poisoned by 20 kinds of chemicals


Lately she’s been obvious about being evil
Yeah, maybe that has something to do with being hauled before Congress in front of God and everybody.
our man up there’s a real evil apologist
There are plenty of people who are that age who understand grocery prices because they haven’t been in Congress for 60 years, floating on a cushion of fat money donations and indifference.
So perhaps age is not the issue, and the issue is more that they’ve been there too damn long. Point to the ones who are still doing good works and not just legislating to maintain their seats.
