Ted has two assholes he speaks from

Pro gun
“Inevitably when there’s a murder of this kind, you see politicians try to politicize it, you see Democrats and a lot of folks in the media whose immediate solution is to try to restrict the constitutional rights”

Anti choice
“ law that protects life and sends a message that every life is valuable.”

Ted Cruz is near the top of my list of White Guys Due For Replacement.

Me too. He’ll be an excellent senator. I look forward to the day when he officially announces he’s challenging Sinema.

I approve.

And one of those politicians will be Ted Cruz. Every fucking time.

Ted Cruz is despicable, pretending to be pro-life while simultaneously excusing and enabling atrocities.

“Every life is a gift from God, and without life, there is no liberty — that’s why I’m proud to stand up and defend life."

Life is, or should be, more than just a beating heart. Why live it otherwise, if that’s all it consists of?

Life is being able to choose to fail to support your constituents and decide to fly to Cancun because your house is too cold . . . and it’s parents’ being able to feel relatively certain that their children are safe when they’re at school. To not have those things is to not have liberty.

If Cruz can figure out how to stop these sorts of killings without controlling assault weapons then I am all ears. I am just asking him to tell us how to deal with these sorts of mass murders. Texas elected him to solve our problems. Here is a problem we need solved.

I would say something but Gallego pretty much covered everything.

You imply that there are parts of Ted Cruz that are not asshole. That is wrong. Ted is 100% asshole, 24/7. He’s the unitary asshole.

We need more of this from other Democrats.

Plus, his tweet to Kyrsten Sinema was just as righteous!

If more Democrats spoke like this and got it in the news, they would start winning elections.

Could it be that Gellego is preparing for a Senate run? We could really use more nice people who know how to talk smack to garbage humans like Cruz.
