Ted Cruz is a piece of shit.
But, one thing he has remained consistent about is defense of free speech. Usually defending the freedom of right wingnuts to say what they want, but he did defend Kimmel and criticize Kimmel’s removal.
That said, Ted Cruz is still a piece of shit.
This is giving him too much credit considering he voted for Carr to lead the FCC in the first place. The one thing Cruz has remained consistent on is knowing how to improve his own reputation by saying something reasonable sounding every so often, but in terms of his actions he's a party apparatchik and total piece of shit.
In 8 yearsnI fear we'll look at the Cruizes like we look at Mitt these days.
No we won't.
Fantastically cool story.
These people have proven to be traitors and pedophiles. There is no redemption for them, just prison. We will NEVER look back on them as benign Republicans.
Romney wasn't even that anyway. He became a Sociopathic Oligarch with a weird religious obsession by buying companies and stripping them of their assets. He stole his fortune by destroying carefully built lifelong careers, and forcibly unemploying thousands, perhaps millions of people. He's a monster, with money to pay for nice clothes, a good haircut, and a first-rate political smile, but he's still a monster.
The only reason that people look back on people like Romney and Bush with fondness is because the compare favorably to the absolute shitshow that occupies the government right now. That doesn't change the fact that they were still jackals, the very ones that led to where we are now. They may not like what's happening now, but I guarantee, they are still cashing in. Especially Romney.
When he dies, that religion that he claims to believe in so much, is going to punish him harshly. I wish I believed in that nonsense so I could enjoy it.
Ted cruz is a rare politician who is in politics because he fights for his convictions and wants to advocate for them
Now his convictions are dogshit, and he does nothing but harm, but it does mean he's a breath of fresh air compared to his compatriots
Disagree. He became one of Trump's biggest defenders; even defending the capital attack, and spreading The Big Lie. Before Trump got elected the first time, Trump basically called Cruz's wife ugly, and Cruz basically told voters not to vote for Trump because he is immoral. Cruz is likely just trying to position himself for a 2028 presidential run, or being bribed by ABC or whatever.
Behold, Schrödinger's shit sandwich. Now, a shit sandwich is when you take something shitty, and bracket it with two nice things. If you've heard of this before, you've probably talked to management, or more clearly, heard someone vent about talking to management. If you haven't, well, good on you for avoiding the notice of management.
Now, what could a Schrödinger's shit sandwich be? Well, it would have to be something that somehow both follows and rebels against that definition above. So let's take the quote.
So this could be represented as:
Yep, that looks like a classic shit sandwich, alright. But! Could it not also be:
Well, fuck me if that isn't a reverse shit sandwich! So which is it. A shit sandwich? A reverse shit sandwich? Both at the same time‽ Schrödinger's Shit Sandwich!
But you can only be sure which one it is by taking that bite.
All we can be sure of is that Americans eat shit.
You really overcomplicated “a broken clock is right twice a day.”
