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.

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.

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

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

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 23 points 1 month ago

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 4 points 1 month 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?

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

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

[-] ATDA@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 6 points 1 month ago

Was he giving them tips as a professional serial killer?

[-] ms_lane@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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?

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

"But how would that punish people?"

[-] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month 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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
