Listen, the Captain abandoning the sinking ship via helicopter rescue is good actually because it frees up valuable lifeboat space.
he was just weighing the boat down! now it'll sink slower!
The best thing he could do for the state is die.
Second best is to never come back to the US.
Dinesh be like "I can and will defend the most scummiest people on earth."
It took me a few moments to realise that he was actually supporting Ted Cruz here and not being sarcastic, jesus...
Nero fiddled as Rome burned? It was the best thing he could have done under the circumstances. Healing through art is a natural reaction to tragedy.
[In reality, Nero rushed to help put out the fire and spent money on relief efforts afterwards. The reason he got hate was that he exploited the fire as an opportunity to expand the imperial palace. Also because he persecuted Christians and they wrote the later histories when he had actually been a popular emperor for most of his reign. And he played the lyre, not the fiddle.]
man whose career thrived off saying stupid things for attention stays the course
Yeah it's not like his office can serve as a direct point of contact between state resources and constituents.
Does he need to be there for that? Like, Ted Cruz sucks, but it's because he sucks that I imagine he was also incapable of helping anyone. I won't go as far as Dinesh and say that him being in Cancun is helping anyone, but really I imagine a lot of Texans are happy he's staying away.
Yeah, this is an example of a reasonable take ("Ted Cruz's personal involvement won't make that much of a difference") spun out to absurd ends ("ACKSHUALLY, Cancun is the best place for him to be and it's helping people, you ingrate").
Senators and their Chiefs of Staff manage their offices and coordinate with the Federal government as liasons.
In theory, you have an entire political chain of command gathering information from the community, siloing it, and distributing it to the agencies in order to best-inform various agencies.
When Cruz picks up and goes on vacation, he takes all of his office resources with him.
The most delicious part of this galaxy brain shit is that it's 100% incorrect. Turns out Raphael used HPD resources to escort him to and through the airport, because he didn't want people to be mean to him.
This guy constantly spews the most virulent pissbaby booboo horseshit and people eat it up.
Had a coworker tell me how smart and informative (about communism LMAO) D'souza was and i just had to laugh and walk away
He 100% could be doing things to help texas.
He could be using his connections to make things happen. Like re allocate resources to the places that need them, and away from places that don't like police.
He could be working on plans to make sure this doesn't happen again.
He could work on holding those whose fault this is accountable.
It's just that he is ideologically opposed to these things.
Hell, he could fucking just make some kind of statement and it would play better than going to fuckin Cancun
Ted Cruz should take the JC challenge and offer us to take of his flesh as our daily bread. Would do more to help people materially than anything else he'll do.
A hill to die on? Unlikely.
Dinesh D'Souza will live to be a 100, earning handsome grift money up until the very end.
