Texans coaching staff on Watt - bitter or truthful?
716er replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bitter See EJ's pick 6 Not that I agree with this take, but one could make the argument that the Cardinals are closer to being a SB team (Not winner, but team) because they are in the wide open NFC and do not have to go through KC. -

Cult-like, no? -
No doubt about it- the oil industry is colluding with the Downtown Emergency Service Center in Seattle.

I am glad people that post a lot in this thread are not in charge. -
Trump lost. Time for his fans to turn the page and not cry when the media reports on him.

What spin do you see in the article you posted? I'll go line by line until I get tired.... https://apnews.com/article/b0cdc326db95bf25d93de9e877e05862 DALLAS (AP) — With Texas paralyzed by a winter storm, Sen. Ted Cruz took his family on vacation to Cancun, Mexico, drawing criticism from leaders in both parties and potentially damaging his political ambitions. Fact In a statement on Thursday, Cruz said he was returning to Texas. He said he accompanied his family to Mexico a day earlier after his daughters asked to go on a trip with friends, given that school was canceled for the week. Fact “Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon,” Cruz said. Fact “My staff and I are in constant communication with state and local leaders to get to the bottom of what happened in Texas,” he continued. “We want our power back, our water on, and our homes warm.” Fact Cruz addressed his travels only hours after The Associated Press and other media outlets reported that he had traveled to Cancun on Wednesday, with hundreds of thousands of Texans still grappling with the fallout of a winter storm that crippled the state’s power grid and killed more than three dozen people, some while trying to keep warm. Fact The statement did little to quell a fierce political backlash that comes as Cruz eyes a second presidential run in 2024. He was already one of the most villainized Republicans in Congress, having created adversaries across the political spectrum in a political career defined by far-right policies and fights with the political establishment. Fact More recently, he emerged as a leader in former President Donald Trump’s push to overturn the results of the November election. Billboards calling for his resignation stood along Texas highways earlier in the month. Fact Even the state Republican Party chair declined to come to Cruz’s defense on Thursday. Fact “That’s something that he has to answer to his constituents about,” Texas GOP Chair Allen West said when asked whether Cruz’s travel was appropriate while Texans are without power and water. Fact “I’m here trying to take care of my family and look after my friends and others that are still without power,” West said. “That’s my focus.” Fact Hundreds of thousands of people in Texas woke up Thursday to a fourth day without power, and a water crisis was unfolding after winter storms wreaked havoc on the state’s power grid and utilities. Fact Maybe you can quote the part that is all spin and national inquirer like? -

I'm no fan of Ted Cruz but I buy his story! So Cruz feels safe with his wife and kids being in Cancun without him, but felt he needed to chaperone them on the flight to get there with a huge luggage bag of his own? And he bought the return ticket home this morning. -

Glad to see Ted's vacation was worth diverting resources during a natural disaster -
You are both cut from the same cloth. Done talking Rush - a waste of time.
-
I did. I found the Couric interview where he states the opposite of what you claim.
-
To point out even you are not even living up to his incredibly low standard. When I pointed out you were incorrect in your claim that He pointed out the outrageous by being outrageous your flex was to lie. See below. This is an example of the culture of lies and defense of lies Rush has infected the country with. RIP, though.
-
I posted my original comment to disprove your claim that he was only outrageous over things that are outrageous. Also, his "apology" (if you want to call it that) had nothing to do with why the comments were made in the first place.
-
Defend it all you want. Even Rush had the balls to apologize to Fox. If you could source the bolded, that would be quite the find. Here's an interview with Couric where he states the opposite. You must have listened to him often to twist facts so effortlessly.

What was outrageous about Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's symptoms?

Nowhere in that article - https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/15/us/power-outages-texas-monday/index.html - does it mention or comment on what percentage of power is from wind sources. -

Is there a photo of said ironic image or is the ironic image just in your head? Interesting. Why is Texas pretty much by itself? -
“Cancel” / Knee-Jerk Culture of 2020 and beyond
716er replied to RiotAct's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
No. I'm comparing politicians doing their jobs who are censured because their party disapproves of their vote to cancel culture as a whole. Why do you narrowly define cancel culture as "normal citizens losing their jobs for saying things that are not popular in their private life?" This is a part of it, yes, but when I hear about "cancel culture" in the media, it is often about citizens banding together to boycott a product (ie Goya, My Pillow) or to ignore a person (ie Kaepernick, Trump).
