Ted Cruz is a piece of shit

They are filled with hot air...

Granted, if Ted understood optics, he'd have never taken the trip to Cancun to begin with, but one would hope that someone on his staff (then again, they are willing to work for such an idiot) would figure out that he needs to do his performative bullshit somewhere it doesn't look like things are comfy. (Just being inside a foodbank, for example, would have been a better photo op than outside where it's warm, or picking a spot where there's still snow on the ground, even if it is above freezing.) Oh, and AOC has raised almost $5 million at this point for people in a state she doesn't live in!

The Dollop podcast did an episode on Earl Long, who was one corrupt motherfucker of a politician, but unlike Cruz (or a bunch of other politicians today), the fucker understood that if you actually helped people, they didn't care so much if you were corrupt or not. Today, it seems like the corrupt ones just graft for themselves without doling out things for the ordinary folks as well. I mean, fucking Earl built more schools than any other politician in LA history. He lined his pockets while doing that, but he also gave educational opportunities to a shitload of people who never would have gotten them otherwise.

Now? The fuckers in power just do some insider-trading stockmarket bullshit and we never get a cut of it.

I had an uncle tell me one time that former Florida Governor Fuller Warren (1949-1953) was so corrupt that he stole everything that wasn't nailed down. However, he also left a vastly upgraded road system behind. I make no claims to the accuracy of the story, but there is a reason why some political scoundrels can be quite popular. It also points out the reality that it almost always seems that people who scream the loudest for term limits would start with politicians they can't vote for.

It's too bad the Texas Senator election isn't this year!

Oh, trust me, I've got no qualms against a politician I like, simply because they've been in office longer than I think they should have.

what bothers the living dog piss out of me is old, ancient, senile judges. They can fuck up some lives at a very local level. At least a politician is surrounded by peers that can somewhat, hopefully keep them in check and mitigate their bad decisions. But damn the things some of these judges do is insanely negligent.

I'm sure Cruz and the rest of the Desperately Seeking Victimhood brigade will insist that showing up at his house in broad daylight with a mariachi band is Exactly The Same as marching around Jocelyn Benson's house at night shouting angry slogans and brandishing weapons.

I think it's worth pointing out that the US only finally passed a presidential term limit only after a progressive who enacted the biggest push for social services for rich folk to pay for won four times in a row and who luckily for them kicked the bucket shortly before said 4th term began.

Mind you, no one seemed to want the job more than 8 years and I'm glad there was no chance Reagan could continue Nancy's reign into the 90s, but I think about that a lot these days.

Corrected.

^ I was wondering if my Alzheimer's had gone into overdrive or something, because I was sure that wasn't right.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy are leftistsssss so VIIIIIIolennnnt?

*clutches pearls*

wordforge leftists aren't violent - they sure aren't busting on Cuomo The killer very hard. Then again killing 1,5oo elderly is nothing compared to flying to Cancun. Glad you guys have your priorities straight!

Cuomo fucked up big time, and he's gonna go down for it. Nothing funny about that. What Cruz did was hilarious... The staged photo op of him loading a trunk with bottled water in order to rehabilitate him was the cherry on top.

Cuomu killed 1500 people?

Whataboutism is a serious disease, guys.

There doesn't seem to be a cure. Is there a treatment?

Moar cowbell.

Completely reinforcing the thread title.

What a piece of shit.

Usually you have to hit Pornhub to see a dude slobber on another man's dong like that. Or so I've been told.

It's sometimes hard to believe that for many conservatives, Donald J. Trump is the epitome of manliness. And yet, there it is.

Trump is literally the Golden Calf. Why can't the Fundies see this?

Paging Moses... paging Moses...

It's too bad he's most likely a mythological figure and not a historical one. He knows what to do with Golden Calves.

it gets better.

Please don't doxx Poodle or whatever the fuck he changed his name to after murdering his dog.
