15. Cornyn is worthless garbage

Yesterday

Even more desperate now to get his lips closest to Trump's ass to curry favor for his runoff with another Texas idiot Paxton.

He seems to show up in about every pic with Senators, but does not know or do shit for the state or its citizens.

A major reason why we left the state. It is all about self-preservation, the grift, and the power.

They have been in complete power and doing this for 40 years now...and they keep pointing the finger at the dems for why nothing ever improves.
