How the fuck do they keep electing him! All I hear is how everyone hates him.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.

Al Franken

American Conservatives have unparalleled cognitive dissonance skills. Truly unmatched anywhere else in the world.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 23 hours ago

The power if having a R besides their name.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 52 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bro sounds like he should be on an ICE list.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

he's the immigrant trump warned us about!

Anyone seen his neighbor's pets recently?

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 74 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Gotta work Mexico in there somewhere, that's where he felt it was his duty to be during the Texas ice storm disaster.

[–] dotCody@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ted: Bye, have fun dying from the cold and/or carbon monoxide poisoning

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And Christian. It would be less unusual if he were a jewish man advocating for Israel.

[–] mathemachristian@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Most zionists are christians

[–] IntrovertTurtle@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago

Both times.

No, competency for the position is considered with DEI hires.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 8 points 1 day ago

And that's not even counting the hats he gets when vacationing during natural disasters.

You must understand that he requires the pressure to live. If that thing ever stops being the most unrepentant asshole to have ever lived, the outward pressure of his barely constrained sheer fucking awkwardness would no longer be balanced out, causing him to explode in a shedenfreudenstrom of impossible proportions.

Ted "my father was imprisoned and tortured in Cuba. I hate communists. it was actually Batista who tortured my dad" Cruz

note for readers unfamiliar with the history of Cuba:Batista was the US-backed dictator who was defeated by the Cuban Revolution

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago

Ha ha. Jesus.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Ted Cruz is like wolverine if instead of metal claws three flaccid penises extended from his hands."

 

I wish I could recall where I first saw that, but it will live in my head forever.

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Made me chuckle, here have this:

[–] EtAl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

On behalf of all Canadians, thank you Texas for taking that bullet.

[–] dotCody@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He was born in... Canada?!?! My god. What have we done.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

And he was a Canadian citizen for most of his life. He only renounced his Canadian citizenship once he started planning to run for US president.

[–] la508@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Prevented him from being the American president

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

No, his mother was American so he has American citizenship that way.

[–] greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

How has such an unlikable man made it so far? Maybe I need to change my strategies, sorry friends it's time for hatemaxxing

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

Massive amounts of money and influence provided by Israel probably helps.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

hes the only other viable R senator in TEXAS, im guess the others arnt as vile as he is, or as prominent(PR wise) as he is, like MS lindsey they toe the party lines.

[–] voicesarefree@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Makes sense, how else would you expect the Zodiac Killer to evade capture?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

zodiac killer that goes to a tropical place to molt his skin.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Canadian here. You have my sincere apologies.

[–] teft@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago

First you guys burn down the White House, then you send us Rafael.

What’s next? You guys gonna turn off the syrup spigot?

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Only in the summer. In winter he goes to Mexico.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

OR anytime the weather drops temperature below what reptile can tolerate.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Fixed that for you!

ScumBagCruz wearing his hat.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Cruz is the answer to the question "what if an infected ass pimple became human?"

[–] CanadianMade@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

More like ass hat

Mr. Worldwide

[–] RaoulDuke85@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not even a beard can make him look cool.

[–] teft@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Him and Vance think the beards hide the double chins.

[–] RAFAELRAMIREZ@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Man’s résumé sounds like a random character generator 😭

[–] PityPityBangBang@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

There was a time that such an immigrant coming to represent a nation of immigrants would have seemed so right.

Context matters.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

whole state of Texas is "Leopards at my face" on this.

[–] scathliath@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

I stand by what got me banned from Twitter the first time; man would be smarter if he had lead for brains than he is now.

[–] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Aside from ‘representing country of Israel’, that should read as a compliment to what the US is supposed to stand for.

Shame it’s the opposite, but that’s on them.

[–] Email@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Is the hats thing diminutive? I don't want to continue accidentally insulting people if so.
