tedcruz trolls on twitter & JohnCornyn makes up lies about democrats & NEITHER can be bothered to pressure Abbot about a mask mandate!

Nothing from the president about this! Nothing!

Horrific!!!!!

Nonsense...lying Ted will fix this...'fix' being the operative word.

That’s what has happened because they Voted for Donald J Trump in 2016-18

What I can’t understand is when our county judge saw the numbers rising rapidly and issued a stay at home order, the powers that be GregAbbott_TX and KenPaxtonTX quickly shot him down. What is it going to take? Are the people in our city not worth saving?

. Help me understand. DonaldTrump told 330 million Americans to not wear a mask. 300,000 Americans were killed by TrumpHasNoPlan coronavirus . Why is Trump not in jail? JoeBidenLockUpDonaldTrump TrumpTrialForCoronavirusDeaths

Shame on TX governor Greg Abbott.

Governor Abbott, you have 🩸 all over your hands with your refusal to institute ANY type of CDC guidelines to mitigate the outbreak in your state. Dereliction of duty as well as gross incompetence. Shameful.

With the blessing of the GOP coup !!! Amen

Did you purposely 'miss' that inmates did this before? No good gear, 2 dollars per hour... You really (!) need to upgrade where you get your scoops. This is beneath you...

This is heartbreaking

Thanks for nothing tedcruz and JohnCornyn

This just in: Prison Slave Labor relieved of slave labor by indentured servants of a piece of parchment to help out in the morgue. More on how the kooky Congress unwinds for their vacay on the hour.

😢😢😢

As President Trump says what a bunch of suckers and losers

Fake news

Thanks GovAbbott. Blame this on your inability to DO YOUR JOB. Somebody in Texas should sue you for cashing the paychecks and never working for your constituents like you were sworn to do when elected. malfeasance

But cosplay wolverine cruz is busy tweeting come and take my turkey when his constituents are dying by the hundreds. Does Cornyn even know what's going on in his state?

Someone should scotch tape this picture to Ted Cruz’s forehead.

USA 🇺🇸 was the victim of China.

I wonder if the MAGA Cult still thinks that Covid is a Hoax when the National Guard is called to Texas to help with all the dead people from the Virus.

Look at all those 'flu death' bodies damn the flu has been nasty this year huh. I hope the Americans who encouraged such dangerous delusional complacent attitudes towards this virus feel guilty about the thousands of preventable lives they have cost and will cost in future

Where’s all the Trumpets on this point claiming it’s all fake and the flu like every other post?

Cc tedcruz

I was so excited when I checked on my account balance and saw my payment of $25,500. What a boost! TradewithKEN thank you for your trading tips and coach.

But on the good side Trump was just over par today.
