If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.

I think this is my favorite GOP quote of all time.

[-] [email protected] 110 points 2 months ago

I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.

If you want to see how ignorant some voters can be, there is really no better evidence than Ted Cruz.

I followed his recent Senate race in Texas. In a campaign speech, Cruz said he was fighting the elite.

  • His father owns an oil company in Canada.
  • He attended a private prep school in Houston. His classmates were Bush family kids.
  • He attended Harvard University and Princeton
  • His wife Heidi Cruz is a top executive at Goldman Sachs

This guy is fighting the establishment? Are you kidding me? 🤦🤦🤦.

You have to remember it's not about facts, it's about feelings. As I always say, we're all susceptible to that to some extent, but the republicans have it bad.

So what I'm hearing is this is a bill to distract from more important things and to delay.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Not really, the entire bill is the worst thing to happen to the USA in a hundred years, Ted Cruz's tiny portion was just so stupid that even the party of destruction disliked it.

Rafael doesn't belive in preferred names. Stop calling Rafael, Ted.

But states rights? What happened to states rights?

[-] [email protected] 51 points 2 months ago

states' rights to opress people was the full thought

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

States rights was never really an ideal (in general, if it's wrong to allow something in one state, it'd be wrong to allow it in the rest, after all). It was just a thing to bring out whenever the federal government disagreed with something they wanted but some states didn't. But now that they control the federal government, it becomes a liability, so they drop it.

Why is this foreign born person still in the US? Didn't Trump say he wanted to deport naturalized citizens? Deport ~~Ted~~ Rafael Edward Cruz back to Canada! Send him back!

[-] [email protected] 48 points 2 months ago

I thought the 1 vote had to be ~~the Zodiac killer~~ Ted Cruz, but no:

The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.

Did he just not get the memo, or is he that paid off?

[-] [email protected] 36 points 2 months ago

So unless my math is wrong there are 100 senators. And if the only yes vote was my own lovely senator Tillis, Cruz voted against his own thing?!?

[-] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago

Yup, even Cruz voted against it. Reality is truly stranger than fiction.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

maybe check from openai didn't clear

And how does anyone vote for something that's 99-1 unless you happen to be the first? Some things you should make a principled stand sure, but that's not this.

🤣🤣🤣

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

So... Ted voted against his own bill?

[-] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago

Rafael Cruz hates Rafael Cruz so much that he voted against his own amendment.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 months ago

Ted Cruz can go fuck himself.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

lol he even voted against his own plan. Imagine being the schmuck who was the one dissenting vote

False, nobody can ever lose respect for Ted Cruz. There's none to lose.

Stop giving broadband funds globally, it's just squandered, it needs to be manually voted on and approved per project.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Agreed. Make them do the work first ffs or something. Tired of these "providers" getting free money for shit they dont even do.

Was Ted the 1 vote or was he in Cancun for the roll call?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I only use AI to make shitty furry porn. It needs to be regulated.
