I'm struggling to figure out Cruz's angle on this. I know he is a giant POS with zero redeeming qualities so something is up here.
He never intended for it to pass. He just wants to be able to say that he was on the popular side of an issue. Don't forget, he wants to be president more than anything in the world, so everything he does is about the next presidential election.
its about uncensoring hate speech im sure, so they can go on tv and spew their vitriol and sue if their hate vomit isn't aired or aired in full or some shit. they want to be able to go on the news and openly call for killing brown people and trans people. its obvious nazi shit. tolerate the intolerable under the guise of "free speech".
I do not like that man Ted Cruz
That's why this news gets me confused
Because I'm used to rarely see
Him on the right side of history.
And so, in spite of this new stunt
That man Ted Cruz may still be a cunt.
A cunt, you say? I disagree
And before you hold your breath
Let me be clear; I'm saying he
Lacks the warmth and depth
A cunt, I see, he may not be
But what, I ask, could then be he?
He's soft, so he can't be a dick,
Not sociable, hence he's no pig,
No fucker (I don't know - does he?)
No arse - he lacks utility.
There's no good name, but don't you fret -
For now let us just call him Ted.
Ted Cancun Cruz, the zodiac's son
When calling him names, why limit to one?
Even insult his wife and lyin Ted
Will come to your defense instead!
He gets off on you telling him go to hell,
Always point out his real name's Raphael
Everyone hates him as is often said
But as for me I just call him fuckhead.
Maybe he’s trying to win conservative brownie points by fighting the ‘Biden vaccine agenda’. He’d really be kicking a dead horse with that but…please clap
