You mean Ted Cruz has extensive ties to everyday conservatives?!

That asshole Ted Cruz is really an asshole.

That's cold man. Any colder and he'll be forced to take a vaca in Mexico

Well you see, every February is egg laying season, and he needs those warm sandy beaches to incubate his spawn.

Usually, he can just go down to Galveston and get what he needs. But that year was a very, very special case. It's not easy being cold blooded.

Hey now, at least assholes have a purpose. This guy...who fucking knows what his use is.

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago

Typically I say don't judge a book by its cover but he looks every bit the sniveling, cowardly, weasel he is. It's impossible to underestimate him.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Weird ass loser.

Probably preaching to the choir, but here's an idea Ted and Anti-Abortionsists - instead of trying to punish Women, why not give financial incentives to keep a baby?

Why not make it financially less of a burden to have a child?

[–] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

They want to cut funding to every program and department except the military and the police, if that tells you anything. They're not going to give money to women. They already hate that some women collect more welfare because they have more children.

lol yeah and become communists? NO WAY

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

"But how would that punish people?"

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Didn’t he pay for one of Boebert’s abortions?

Iirc, she was his call girl before becoming the skeeze of Congress.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I don't think that was substantiated, but by all means keep saying it.

I am pretty sure they fucked though.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has fallen silent on abortion

Has he actually fallen silent on abortion? Or is he simply screaming himself horse on immigration?

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Always melting, never melted.

Was he giving them tips as a professional serial killer?

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Wouldn't the sanctity of life stop yo... Pffffff lol
