And... what about that other guy?
The other guy is unfortunately ted cruz
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
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
That could be a lot of them. Doesn't really narrow it down.
Ah, but at least he's really human!
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!
Well he ran for human president
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.
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.
Because he's also a cuckold with a humiliation fetish. Trump called his wife ugly and then Cruz sucked his dick.
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?
Raphael Cruz has a very obvious shame and humiliation kink, why would he complain? He gets to use the public to get his rocks.
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).
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.
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.
He protects pedophiles
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.
