99 problems but this bitch ain't one.

All my homies hate Raphael

I only use AI to make shitty furry porn. It needs to be regulated.

Why is this foreign born person still in the US? Didn't Trump say he wanted to deport naturalized citizens? Deport ~~Ted~~ Rafael Edward Cruz back to Canada! Send him back!

[–] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 24 points 2 days ago (15 children)

After all the shit you're giving us to deal with in Canada this would be the final straw that leads to war. He's a product of your culture and his power comes from you, he's your creation.

Ted Cruz. The ULTIMATE bottom.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

ah Ted Cruz... the infected pimple in the ass that is the GOP

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 29 points 2 days ago

Rafael Cruz hates Rafael Cruz so much that he voted against his own amendment.

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

lol he even voted against his own plan. Imagine being the schmuck who was the one dissenting vote

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Wasn’t there someone else who created a bill and voted for it, but told others to vote against it?

“I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”

„Everyone hates Ted“

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

"Here's the thing you have to understand about Ted Cruz: I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz."

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Isn’t it funny how Dems chased out Al Franken for that shitty photo, but Republicans rally behind their own sex pests?

If you want to see how ignorant some voters can be, there is really no better evidence than Ted Cruz.

I followed his recent Senate race in Texas. In a campaign speech, Cruz said he was fighting the elite.

  • His father owns an oil company in Canada.
  • He attended a private prep school in Houston. His classmates were Bush family kids.
  • He attended Harvard University and Princeton
  • His wife Heidi Cruz is a top executive at Goldman Sachs

This guy is fighting the establishment? Are you kidding me? 🤦🤦🤦.

You have to remember it's not about facts, it's about feelings. As I always say, we're all susceptible to that to some extent, but the republicans have it bad.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

I honestly don't understand how he still gets elected here. I would cry systematic election fraud in Texas but the majority of my parents generation seemingly doesn't vote at all. But their parents who just watch Fox News all day sure fucking do.

Rafael doesn't belive in preferred names. Stop calling Rafael, Ted.

So what I'm hearing is this is a bill to distract from more important things and to delay.

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

Not really, the entire bill is the worst thing to happen to the USA in a hundred years, Ted Cruz's tiny portion was just so stupid that even the party of destruction disliked it.

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 64 points 3 days ago (2 children)

But states rights? What happened to states rights?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 51 points 3 days ago

states' rights to opress people was the full thought

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

States rights was never really an ideal (in general, if it's wrong to allow something in one state, it'd be wrong to allow it in the rest, after all). It was just a thing to bring out whenever the federal government disagreed with something they wanted but some states didn't. But now that they control the federal government, it becomes a liability, so they drop it.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 48 points 3 days ago (5 children)

I thought the 1 vote had to be ~~the Zodiac killer~~ Ted Cruz, but no:

The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.

Did he just not get the memo, or is he that paid off?

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 35 points 3 days ago (2 children)

So unless my math is wrong there are 100 senators. And if the only yes vote was my own lovely senator Tillis, Cruz voted against his own thing?!?

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 37 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yup, even Cruz voted against it. Reality is truly stranger than fiction.

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 23 points 3 days ago

maybe check from openai didn't clear

So... Ted voted against his own bill?

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Stop giving broadband funds globally, it's just squandered, it needs to be manually voted on and approved per project.

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

Agreed. Make them do the work first ffs or something. Tired of these "providers" getting free money for shit they dont even do.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 24 points 3 days ago

Ted Cruz can go fuck himself.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmings.world 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

So how much did this cost?
