It’s funny because people are going to die and he’s making fun of them before they do.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They will vote for him on the way to the graveyard
If you're sick as a dog, you say: 'God I gotta make it.' Even if you vote and then pass away, it's worth it.
Donald Trump, ordering his cultists to sacrifice themselves for his primary race, just yesterday
And as they die they will blame Obama for the loss of power.
Comedy is all about timing after all.
lol over 200 people died when I went to Cancun lol get it guys? Get the joke?????
What an ass.
Classic Republican humor!
If Ted Cruz sees his shadow in Cancun there will 6 be weeks without power in Texas.

I refuse to give any clicks to any headlines that use the word slammed or any derivative or synonym thereof
Unless it's a wrestling news website
Or if it's followed by welcoming you to the jam
Or an article about doors.
Never click anything from The Independent. They're clickbait shit.
Who keeps voting for this professional gimp? Do you guys get off on making your own lives worse? Has he done anything to help you or people you know? It's not a sports team, you don't have to be loyal, it's just a bad politician.
They get off on making others' lives worse, even when it brings theirs down. Remember Cruz was part of the Tea Party, the super crazies that threw the republican party even further right and helped pave the way for Maga.
Read the room, asshole.
Enjoy taxpayer-funded trips to Cancun while you can, because you're on the ticket in November, and you won't have the benefit of being in an off-year election or Conservative Californians this time.
Unfortunately he’ll still win. Remember Uvalde voted for Abbot after the school shooting. After it exposed the absolute incompetence of their leadership they said “yep that’s who we want”. Cruz is sadly safely in his seat.
He's not. His polling numbers in the off-years coupled with the guaranteed higher voter turnout and Millennials and Gen Z showing up to vote should worry him.
Bold of you to assume taxpayers fund the majority of his income. Ted Cruz is an extremely corrupt politician.
Wait. Texas hasn't lynched his ass yet? Damn. I just assumed those cowboys'd getterdun already. Hunh. Must be more talk than walk, I guess.
Texas deserves what it voted for at this point
Flapping mouths and getting "slammed" is never news. Yeah he sucks we get it.
Let them eat cake.
There are so many unserious people in power right now it is crazy.
"i like ted cruz more than most of my other colleagues like ted cruz. and i hate ted cruz." - al franken
Gosh, Texans have no chill /s
No, that's the problem. They have too much chill.
True 🥶
Fuck you, Ted.
Not surprising. Many Texans thought it was not funny.
Wow yeah he really got slammed… sure…
