“I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”
- John Boehner
„Everyone hates Ted“
- Donald Trump
If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.
―Lindsey Graham
I think this is my favorite GOP quote of all time.
I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.
-Al Franken
“Here’s the thing you have to understand about Ted Cruz: I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.”
- Al Franken
Isn’t it funny how Dems chased out Al Franken for that shitty photo, but Republicans rally behind their own sex pests?
“I do not like that man Ted Cruz…” - John Oliver
“Everyone hated that”
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.
I honestly don’t understand how he still gets elected here. I would cry systematic election fraud in Texas but the majority of my parents generation seemingly doesn’t vote at all. But their parents who just watch Fox News all day sure fucking do.
So what I’m hearing is this is a bill to distract from more important things and to delay.
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?
states’ rights to opress people was the full thought
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
TedRafael Edward Cruz back to Canada! Send him back!deleted by creator
Yes everyone know’s a Canadian’s shit doesn’t stink and the country definitely doesn’t have it’s own fascism problem.
Definitely.
Cool whattaboutism but it doesnt change the political reality.
Canada has its own problems for sure, but Ted Cruz’s family moved to Texas when he was 4. He’s definitely more a product of American culture than Canadian culture.

I think we can all agree that the uber rich are the issue and not each other.
Hey, don’t blame us for Murdoch. He’s Australian, he only bought US citizenship in his fifties in order to spread his hate better.
… Saying that becoming American helped with that doesn’t really strengthen my case here, does it?

Right, because Canadians are the only victim here.
The hypocrisy is palpable.

I dated a Canadian once and you’d have to wait an hour to use the bathroom after her but maybe that was because she was a vegan.
Anyways what are those shifty Canadians up to up there?
What’s the fascism problem you’re talking about?
There are a handful of loud Maple MAGAs that have been continually losing elections. So yeah, there’s some of that here. However, OP is just salty that the US is a fiery shitshow and is deflecting.

Wow you sure know a lot about Canada. You must have been here a long time, huh? Surely your opinion is based on experience and a deep understanding of our culture. There’s no way that opinion is based on internet discourse.
Canadians are very well aware of how we’ve treated and continue to treat Indigenous people. There’s an active movement towards reconciliation and self governance. Canadians are not ignorant of the history or the current situation. You are.
I thought the 1 vote had to be
the Zodiac killerTed 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?
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?!?
Yup, even Cruz voted against it. Reality is truly stranger than fiction.
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.
is that the self proclaimed black Nazi?
I don’t think so? Dude looks like he’d be a WASP if he wasn’t Catholic. Unless he was doing some internet sock puppet shenanigans or something.
I don’t think he’d won his election; I also think it was a local election, rather than a federal one? But, I’ll admit, I hadn’t been following his race very closely.
The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.
🤣🤣🤣
So… Ted voted against his own bill?
Rafael Cruz hates Rafael Cruz so much that he voted against his own amendment.
Ted Cruz can go fuck himself.
lol he even voted against his own plan. Imagine being the schmuck who was the one dissenting vote
Wasn’t there someone else who created a bill and voted for it, but told others to vote against it?
99 problems but this bitch ain’t one.
All my homies hate Raphael
This time
? I don’t see them trying to sneak an AI regulation ban again anytime soon. This is about the strongest bipartisan support against anything I can recall in my life.
Many of the people that voted against this are to blame for many of the other problems we are about to be hit with.
However, of all the scary shit in that bill, this was one of the most concerning to me. Specifically in terms of irreversibility to the damage it would do, the creation of national AI surveillance databases being built across the country, and the kind of environmental and safety regulations that will have to be ignored in order to power them.
The closest thing to hope, I hold for my own state, is that I just hope whatever lesson we ended up serve as in future history books isn’t on the same scale or worse than Chernobyl.
I can breathe a little easier knowing that the entire country won’t be facing a mandatory federal law demanding they be more like Louisiana in terms of deregulation in order to make a terrible idea actually profitable, regardless of how many people it hurts.
As in Cruz wasn’t a problem this time.
He’s an eternal cunt and will be a problem again.
Fair enough. That’s never been a doubt to me. I still don’t understand how the Zodiac killer could hold office as long as he has, but as long as he’s got power, he’s going to keep trying to destroy this country.
So how much did this cost?
False, nobody can ever lose respect for Ted Cruz. There’s none to lose.
Ted Cruz. The ULTIMATE bottom.
Nothing wrong with bottoming…
No, but there is something wrong with Raphael Cruz.
Sure the fuck is when Trump is your top.
It’s not bottoming when there’s no consent. Then it’s rape.
Cruz totally consents in this case, but as a generality, bottoming is juuuuust fine…
Would you rather I said cuckoldry instead?
You’re taking this way too seriously…
lol
It’s Biden’s fault.
Of course. Also, thanks Obama!
Don’t forget to blame dei and Hillary’s emails!
Damn those buttery males!
