He’s been doing that ever since the orange turd insulted his wife and then Rafael rimmed his ass
You know who threatens lawmakers the most? Who sends the most death and rape threats? Who it is that's out for blood if an official deviates from orthodoxy?
Trump supporters.
Ted should just come out and say it. He's afraid of his boss' rabid proto-fascist fan base.
Ted, you stupid prick, hire your own damn security. We, the American people, owe you nothing.
A man of the people.
Shouldn't a big, tough Texas man just be able to whip out his gun and defend himself?
No offense to Canadians, but a Texas man, cruz is not.
He is now. You even elected him. No sending that asshat here. He is Texan now.
locations of birth canals notwithstanding, I know transgender people who are more of a man than he.
I am guessing you just mean transgender women. All transgender men are more of a man than he is.
Hey, now. He adopted pussydom when he left Canada, sure as hell is none here. It's too cold to be a pussy.
One of the reasons he doesn't need a security detail in an airport is that (at least in theory) they stop people from bringing guns into them.
The chances of him being assassinated in an airport are very close to zero. The chances someone might come up to him with criticism, however...
Exactly, surely if he wants to feel safe at the airport he should try and get guns allowed in there.
When legislating for your constituents: Regulations shall be written in blood (and lots of it!).
When legislating for yourself: Best err on the side of caution.
I mean did Cruz even try thoughts and prayers first? Shouldn't he hire a private security detail from the free market instead of embiggening the government and using people's taxes to pay for his protection?
We're out there trying to cut government spending and remove laws! Except this one. We need this one.
Speaking of hypocrisy, always remember that Republicans spent Obama's entire presidency arguing that he was born in Kenya so he can't be president. But didn't say fuck all when Canadian Ted ran. Want to know more about why I think you're racist?
He was also the main push for increasing Congress' salary a few years ago because it was too expensive to maintain a house in Texas and one in DC. Despite how expensive it is, he is still able to afford frequent trips to Cancun.
Piece of traitor shit surrounding himself with other pieces of traitor shit with guns. What a country!
Oh, Ted maybe if you weren't such a cowardly cunt people wouldn't hate you...
I don’t know how Republicans can continue supporting this spineless fool.
Birds of a feather
Party over people. They'd rather freeze to death in a winter storm than vote for anyone who doesn't have an "R" next to their name on the ballot.
So if Democrat candidates create a registered trademark for their names and add ®, would the get more votes?
Bernie Sanders® for president!
While I doubt that things are actually more dangerous nowadays than before, Cruz has been very vocal about selling the narrative that things are getting worse. If he feels like his life is in danger, he needs to work to make it safer for everyone instead of just himself!
Coward
Awww, poor widdle Teddy-Boy! Those evil leftists are so mean! How heartless of them to hold poor Teddy accountable for his despicable shitfuckery!
