Ted sounds like he could use a break, maybe take a long weekend somewhere nice.

“I am asking a question and she is giving a speech.”

Translation: “I don’t have time to let her talk because I have a long list of loaded and misleading questions to get through that all by themselves function as my propaganda message.”

If Ted Cruz thinks anyone is an ‘extreme partisan’, he better take a good long look in a mirror. On second thought, maybe he shouldn’t. . . . no reflection.

Let’s see, Ted Cruz accuses someone else of being an extreme partisan. I see Cruz has adopted Trump’s penchant for projection. Go figure.

Teddy-Boy has no business being on the Judiciary Committee…or the Senate, so maybe he shouldn’t disparage other people’s credentials. Did he grill Sessions? Barr? Didn’t think so. They weren’t female, brown and possibly left-of-center.
Please, Texas, vote this seditionist OUT!

If you, like the Chupacabron, are starting from a position where civil rights are ‘extreme left’ you can’t help but arrive at idiotic conclusions like this.

Really, to have Ted Cruz’s enmity is a badge of honor. Don’t apologize for it.

Guantanamo may be problematic – he’s an American citizen, after all.
I do believe, however, that there may be a place for him in Kansas, after all’s been said and done about 1/6.

Actually, I think her response is more “shade” than any actual feeling of regret.

Well, given that he’s obviously planning to run for president in 2024, maybe the rest of you will get that chance too.
