When hasn’t Cruz embarrassed himself when he’s opened his mouth or engaged his thumbs?

For reference - Ron Perlman is seventy… and Cruz still invokes “let’s you and him fight”.

LOL…I love it. Perlman is brutal and very liberal. I don’t even like Hellboy or Sons of Anarchy, but Perlman himself is a gem haha

Listen Hellboy. You talk good game when you’ve got Hollywood makeup & stuntmen. But I’ll bet $10k—to the nonpolitical charity of your choice—that you couldn’t last 5 min in the wrestling ring w/ @Jim_Jordan w/o getting pinned. You up for it? Or does your publicist say too risky? twitter.com/perlmutations/…

Oh, if we get to volunteer people on their behalf, I volunteer Jim Jordan to wrestle “grab them by the pussy” Benadick Being’adick Donnie.

The loser has to publicly declare “Black Lives Matter”.

Works this way for Teddy Cruz.

These bicker-fests are rarely any participant’s most shining moments but Cruz is just maladjusted. Every anecdote just further cements the idea. You feel like telling him to knock it off and don’t make you come down there or you’ll regret it.

Teddy boy doesn’t like to see his “ugliest politician walking” reputation impugned. He’s homely and proud of it in spite of his current Wolverine vibe.

LOL…I dunno. I love ridiculous and comic book type stuff, but it just never clicked (I didn’t mean I dislike it though) haha
