It’s funny because people are going to die and he’s making fun of them before they do.
They will vote for him on the way to the graveyard
If you're sick as a dog, you say: 'God I gotta make it.' Even if you vote and then pass away, it's worth it.
Donald Trump, ordering his cultists to sacrifice themselves for his primary race, just yesterday
ordering his cultists to sacrifice themselves
And take down a few others in the process!
Comedy is all about timing after all.
And they keep voting this asshole back into office. Texas, go figure.
Look, sure, Ted Cruz might be a miserable, pathetic, cowardly, repulsive excuse for a human being who licks boots at every opportunity and is more than willing to sell out his constituents and his country for the smallest of kickbacks. But have you considered - Democrats think LGBT folk are human beings???
Clearly, Texas has no choice but to vote for Ted Cruz.
I mean, he may hate his constituents, is despised by his colleagues, and actively makes both his home state and the entire country worse... but he has the 'R' next to his name, what do you expect boomers to do!?
That is precisely the logic my family presented to me in 2016.
You jest, but I know people who think like this currently living in Texas.
May they all freeze to death.
they like big things in Texas. doesn't really matter what it is, just that it's big.
And this guy is pretty much the biggest asshole they've got.
I'm voting for Collin Allred, I'm just one vote though.
i'm joining you...so that's 2 of us...oh and my husband...3! 3! people who don't want that POS in the Senate.
lol over 200 people died when I went to Cancun lol get it guys? Get the joke?????
What an ass.
Classic Republican humor!
If Ted Cruz sees his shadow in Cancun there will 6 be weeks without power in Texas.
I refuse to give any clicks to any headlines that use the word slammed or any derivative or synonym thereof
Who keeps voting for this professional gimp? Do you guys get off on making your own lives worse? Has he done anything to help you or people you know? It's not a sports team, you don't have to be loyal, it's just a bad politician.
TX is flush with brain dead chumps.
They get off on making others' lives worse, even when it brings theirs down. Remember Cruz was part of the Tea Party, the super crazies that threw the republican party even further right and helped pave the way for Maga.
Read the room, asshole.
Enjoy taxpayer-funded trips to Cancun while you can, because you're on the ticket in November, and you won't have the benefit of being in an off-year election or Conservative Californians this time.
Unfortunately he’ll still win. Remember Uvalde voted for Abbot after the school shooting. After it exposed the absolute incompetence of their leadership they said “yep that’s who we want”. Cruz is sadly safely in his seat.
Wait. Texas hasn't lynched his ass yet? Damn. I just assumed those cowboys'd getterdun already. Hunh. Must be more talk than walk, I guess.
"i like ted cruz more than most of my other colleagues like ted cruz. and i hate ted cruz." - al franken
Flapping mouths and getting "slammed" is never news. Yeah he sucks we get it.
he was SLAMMED, SLAMMED I tell you!
There are so many unserious people in power right now it is crazy.
$1,000 dollars to anyone who has video evidence of him getting it on with a rent-a-boy. Completely serious. I will give a grand to anyone who can out him to his conservative family values base. Send me the video and how to pay you. Spend the money however you like.
Holy shit, lol, talk about tone deaf. Though I think there's also a serious note of disdain for the stupid, racist hicks who keep him in power; and how amused he is that he can shit on them and still get their vote.
Ok, ok.... Ted "Zodiac Killer" Cruz is a total POS.
However, I'm going to Cancun for first time in a couple weeks.
Anyone have suggestions?
Have fun. Watch out for vendors trying to sell you stuff before you even leave the airport. Only go on tours through your hotel. Mostly to avoid getting ripped off.
It's pretty safe down there. Last trip my spouse and I wandered around Tulum no problem. It's a ways down the coast from Cancun hotel zone. But it was fun seeing some less touristy areas.
The Mayan ruins at Coba, Tulum, and Chichén Itzá are pretty neat if you're into that. Tulum is the smallest but not too difficult to get to. The other two are inland and will be a bit of a trip.
If you drink alcohol and have never had one before try a paloma. Bonus points for going with tajin on the glass rim. I'm a huge fan. Been drinking those for years after a friend who grew up in Mexico taught me. But I enjoy grapefruit and spicy food which I realize isn't common.
Let them eat cake.
