Discussion: High Steaks: Cruz Says That A Vote For O’Rourke Is A Vote To Ban Barbecue

I did find reference to pissing boys in Amsterdam, but it turns out to be a famous frites shop, very popular with tourists.

I want to see Ted Cruz dancing with Sarah Palin again at the loser’s ball. I want to see him as irrelevant as she has come to be.

I live in southern PA and I saw the same thing in the 2016 election. Must have been 100 trump signs for every Hillary sign. I thought at the time that it spelled trouble… And it did.
Our district has been redrawn because the gerrymandering was determined unlawful. So, we have a first time Democratic candidate (Jess King) running against an republican incumbent (he represented a part of this new district). I’m seeing nothing but Jess King signs. They’ve knocked on my door, called me on my cell. sending me text messages. She’s got a real ground game going on here. I’m impressed and very, very hopeful.

So… Cruz wants Texans to ask “Where’s the beef?” :wink:

Was out and about and am late to the party but although nobody hates Cruz more than me, he was obviously joking here, I mean, come on. Not well, he’s too weird and mentally blinkered to do jokes well, but he was trying to make a funny, just riffing off the PETA people there.

Here is the story on Cruz’s Summons Letter.

Polls are not trending for BETO at this point.

All the more reason the debates including the first one this Friday will be important.

That’s pretty disappointing, since there’s not one thing the carpetbagging, booger-eating Cruz has actually done for anyone in that vast wasteland called Tejas.

I live in San Antonio and my neighborhood is, regrettably, reliably Republican. But this year I’ve seen more Beto yard signs than I’ve ever seen for a Democratic candidate. I’m encouraged by this. I will order my sign shortly!

The Holy Grail of barbecue for me is a tri-tip done Santa Maria dry barbecue slow roasted over mesquite. High drool factor. Thankfully I live in Arizona so Cruz has no power over my barbecue.

Git 'em Beto!!

Leave Tiffany out of this. It’s Ivana whose spawn that are the children from Hell. (So far, anyway.)

I’d also leave Barron out. And with trump being such an absentee father, perhaps Barron will have the good fortune to not turn out like his stepbrothers…

Didn’t Carolina already do that?

It takes around 22 hours to cook, and it’s worth the wait.

But in Central Texas, where most of the seven Mikeska brothers had their places, and they were but the tip of the iceberg, brisket isn’t the whole package. Beef ribs are not to be sneered at, and as long as you don’t mean Elgin sausage, which is too smooth and bland, the sausage can be top notch. (Best sausage in history was sold at a bait shop in Castroville by a Mexican family, following an old Alsatian recipe—Castroville was settled by Alsatians. Very coarse grind, comprising beef, venison, and spices. Somewhat beyond superb.)

I don’t eat meat anymore, but Calvin Trillin’s description of Kansas City Barbeque makes me drool.

Yeah, I guess we can let Tiffany slide…

Eating Kansas City Barbeque makes me drool.

And yes, Texas brisket is better.

Poor Texas is swimming in misinformation, disinformation. The airwaves in Texas paint a ‘through-the-looking-glass’ worldview.

If you read Texan’s comments on some of the message sites it really is a world unlike the world that we all know.
