Apparently Ted Cruz stayed in Washington instead of going home to his daughter.  I wonder if she just didn't want him to be there or he's just a bigger piece of excrement than I thought (which is a huge task).  All speculation of course.

I've gotten this call and the emotion I felt is indescribable. Nothing fuckin matters but getting to your kid. I was in Houston. The call came at 1am, I got to the airport at 1:30. The flight wasn't until 5am.

I didn't start crying or processing it until I was next to my kid. It was like someone else took over and I was on autopilot.

I couldn't imagine not going home. I couldn't imagine trying to focus on work or fuckin anything else.

This was 4 years ago and my kid is doing much better.

I think its just horrible that some 14 year old girls business is national freaking news.

If someone you care about is going through severe mental issues the last thing anyone should freaking want is this disgusting media attention.

Ted Cruz is a public figure, give him your ire.

Don't do this excrement to little kids

Isn't Bernie an "independent"

It's just a label, though this is probably more about being a power play, than her actually being an independent

I agree, freak the media for publicizing this excrement.

However that excrement is out there and it's public record that Ted Cruz is still in DC. While I don't have first hand knowledge of his situation, I do have anecdotal experience as a parent. Most of us know how we'd handle this situation.

Also didn't Ted Cruz make fun of Biden the day before his son's funeral?

My point is Ted Cruz is a man of low character and has lost the benefit of the doubt years ago.

Sinema switching to Independent is 100% about her election prospects in 2024.  As of now, she'd get smoked in her primary as a Democrat in her state. Being Independent gets her on the ballot for the election at least, and not out on her derriere in the primary.

Amazing the treatment one certain maverick from Arizona gets versus another.

John McCain is probably in hell

Fact check: True.

But you'd never know it from the absolute fawning that was done on his behalf. Post 2008 of course.

At some point someone should probably start asking questions about whether this woman should be allowed to serve.
