I've had with our Texas elected folks. They are complicit with Biden in funding this war on innocent Ukrainians. The fact that Cornyn, Cruz, and all the Congress from Texas aren't in the Capitol demanding legislation to stop the purchase of Russian oil by Biden is just shocking. Biden could stop it with the stroke of a pen. Yet he doesn't. We know he's getting a cut.

But why are our elected officials letting him do it? Way past time for a whole new crew next election. These guys are looking as guilty as Biden for their inaction.

Just disgusted.

Purchasing oil from Russia needs to be hammered home to both parties.

Welcome to the party pal!

Yes it does, apparently all are guilty for their inaction. All need to go.

We could do so much more. Yet all our guys want to do is hide in River Oaks and do nothing.

If only there was a source of oil in the US…

Agreed. Spineless. We are considerably vulnerable due to inept leadership across the board and the swamp in DC. The government workers are just as bad.

Different refineries need different kind of oil. I'm not saying we don't need imports, but we sure as hell don't need Russian imported oil. The fact that our elected officials both demorat and republicans continue to let this happen is wrong on so many levels.

Cruz, Cornyn et all, blood is on your hands. Stop it today.

They tried to impose sanctions last month. Democrats shot it down.

Now they are all over Biden's wick clamoring for sanctions.

Blame the Democrats.

This is equivalent to genocide, outright murder. No justification and action needs to be taken through Poland. Sure, you weak guys, this will be war. We can win it quickly if we isolate our action to Ukraine. If
Russia does something stupid, pop them hard fast.

Blame them all, there isn't any republican in the house or senate floor calling for an end to the purchase of putins oil.

They are all guilty. We will remind them all of it during the next election. Blood on their hands. The images that will be used against them for their inaction will be horrible.

Cruz and Cornyn. Pick up the fight or go down like the demorat Putin enablers. You are way over due.

Last month Ukraine wasn't invaded. The fight is now.

This!


Also Cruz and others called for legislation simply blocking government purchases on items made with Chinese slave labor and the dims shot that down too. How ****ing gross is that?

Let them hear from you:

https://www.cornyn.senate.gov/node/5853

Cruz has been on the side of blocking these things for years. He can only do so much when they've got a compromised fool as POTUS and don't have Congress.

All that was before Ukraine was invaded. Blame them all now. They should be camping on the senate floor demanding Biden issue Ann executive order banning the purchase. This inaction is supporting the murder of civilians.

Leftists desperately trying to morally equivocate

This is 100% on Biden

You voted for it

You own it

The freighters are doing the work for them too

Oil tanker owners are avoiding offering their ships to collect crude from Russia as they wait to see what sanctions the country might face after invading Ukraine.

Two shipbrokers and three owners said owners are currently unwilling to make offers to collect Russian barrels. The owners said that oil-freight transportation costs are also very low anyway, making it even more unattractive to do so.

I agree the leftist own it. But the current inaction of our Texans is so telling. They are doing nothing! People are dying. How do they sleep at night?

What do you mean they're doing nothing??? Have you not been watching Cruz beating the drum for months across the media all the time??? What good does it do if he's in Washington when liberals don't budge? He's been doing the media circuit to get the pressure on them.

You need to back away from the ledge. Cruz has called on Biden to sanction the oil and gas companies. He has stood against NS2. But apparently the line here is camping out on the Senate floor.

This is a classic move by conservatives. There are thousands of people who involved in foreign diplomacy, sanctions, etc and the people we choose to call out are our own conservatives who aren't even in control of the senate, and if they were still would need to house and the white house to get it passed. Texas Representatives aren't the issue here.

He's got a few sound bites. I already said what they should be doing. Camping out on the senate floor demanding action, giving interviews and discussing their failed legislation is the stuff of crappy politicians. They need to act now to bring more national attention to the fact that Americans are buying Russian oil funding the murder of Ukrainians. It can be stopped and they are not leading the way.

Disgusted………

This. Go listen to Cruz's podcast. He was literally the guy who wrote the original sanctions and is constantly calling out Biden's weakness.

Your current outrage is blinding you to what some have been and are trying to do. This issue lies solely at the feet of liberals. Literally nothing that can be done and camping out on the senate floor accomplishes Jack ****

Why isn't on the hill raising hell right now? Where is Cornyn?

I'm as conservative as anyone but these guys are failing us right now. I expect a **** load more from them than pithy interviews on fox.

Stop buying Russian oil. It's that simple. Preach it from the streets and especially the senate floor. There should be non stop speeches from the floor until Biden is shamed into acting.

Then I might say they are doing something other than collecting campaign sound bites.

You're complaining about stuff that conservatives have been trying to do!! You're *****ing about actions that they've tried to take! It isn't the conservatives that are just lying down letting this happen. All 50 in the senate are prepared to vote to cut Russia off at the knees. Get that ****ing potato in the Oval Office to do it. That's where this is at. They can't do anything that they haven't already tried

Yup, the potato isn't doing anything. It's Congress job to act now. They need to get off the couch in River Oaks and hit the floor to make it happen.

As I said, interviews on fox are campaign sound bites. They need to go do the job they were elected to do.

They're at CPAC right now. How about knowing where they actually are before trying to throw them under the bus.

You lack understanding of what Congress can and cannot do. Their hands are tied. They've done their jobs and continue to do their jobs. IT IS OUT OF THEIR CONTROL!!!

Tell me how they can initiate sanctions without the potato.

It's okay. I'll wait for your answer…

Go protest to biden, schumer and Pelosi. They are the scum destroying this country.

There is no reasoning with liberals. They will cry that Ukrainians are dieing . They will say Putin is a monster and he should be stopped. But they will scream about climate change and evil US O&G companies the second you start talking about us becoming energy dependent from Putin. Hypocrites.

If that was an autocorrect for Potus it is funny. If it was deliberate it was genius. I salute you.

I've been referring to him as a potato for awhile.

CPAC makes great campaign videos.

Politicians make speeches and legislation. They should be on the floor right now making those speeches. Instead they are doing interviews for the news. This is my point.

I'm not trying to argue with you. I believe there is much more they can be doing other than standing back and pointing fingers at a President who is senile. Congress can do something. It happens on the the hill, not in the news studio.
