And... what about that other guy?

[–] starblursd@lemmy.zip 63 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

The other guy is unfortunately ted cruz

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

I'm not familiar. Is he the guy who fucked off to Cancun while Texas went without power during a huge winter storm?

Ted "when things go bad in my state I go on a" Cruz

[–] rainwall@piefed.social 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Dont worry, he came back the day after his sloth and cowardess became an international news story and handed out bottled water from a pickup truck, instead of coordinating with the state/fed/volunteer orgs to actually help people.

Those dozens of bottle of water surely fixed everything.

Nah he's the senator who could be murdered at work and the senate wouldn't convict the killer

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 points 15 minutes ago

That could be a lot of them. Doesn't really narrow it down.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, but at least he's really human!

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 3 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Are we sure? Has anyone actually checked to make sure he isn't a lizardman from inside the hollow Earth, all dressed up in a rubber human suit? I mean, sure, he isn't an LLM, but there are so many other possibilities!

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Well he ran for human president

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 6 points 19 hours ago

No, because he's the Zodiac Killer.

Like most Shakespeare villains, Ted Cruz has a single redeeming quality. And it's that he both understands and vehemently supports free speech.

[–] KingKong33@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Then why does he support the most pro censorship regime in US history? He doesn't support free speech. He supports fascist speech. He's an American traitor, along with the rest of that regime.

[–] JTskulk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Because he's also a cuckold with a humiliation fetish. Trump called his wife ugly and then Cruz sucked his dick.

[–] ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org 9 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

If he's working with Ron Widen it means Ted Cruz has the correct position on free speech.

Do you have any idea how many people on the internet make fun of Ted Cruz? Have you ever heard him say those people should be banned or censored?

[–] edible_funk@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Raphael Cruz has a very obvious shame and humiliation kink, why would he complain? He gets to use the public to get his rocks.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

I guess a broken clock and all that.

Iirc he was also against the bullshit PMTA process the FDA shoved on the vaping industry (the process is responsible for the popularity of disposables).

[–] ThatGuyNamedZeus@feddit.org 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

it's better to find common ground with your peers and then to work with them to make life better for everyone.

If Ted Cruz is in favor of free speech, so you can work with him on free speech issues to help everyone of all colors and creeds

And he really is in favor of free speech. He's never tried to shut down any of his critics. People send him all kinds of nasty things on twitter and he doesn't even block any of them.

[–] edible_funk@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Why would he block it, he gets off on it. He's got this same little grin every time he's confronted about an awful thing he did.

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago

He protects pedophiles

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 7 points 23 hours ago

You mean the senator in the state that puts destructive as shit data centres wherever and is helping palantir? Yeah he’s super anti censorship.
