Imagine being the Laura Louisiana woman who has nothing better to do with her life than follow around Republican senators on twitter and tell them how to do their job. Embarassing.
He’s had more of a sense of humor after being destroyed by Trump. He was like a phoenix born again. I’ve always like his words and his ideas on the constitution but he was a little plastic. He’s just more real now and he is actually funny. I say all this with the most respect for Cruz. I’ve always been a fan but he wasn’t as relatable and would’ve never beat killary/billary.
I voted for Cruz in the primaries. I wasn't sure Trump would deliver on judges as well as I expected Cruz would. Trump has definitely come through on that, though.
I like to think Cruz was like this before becoming a politician, but felt he had to change to be successful. After Trump showed him the truth he relaxed and is being himself again.
I somewhat agree. After destroying himself all the way up to just before the official nomination at the RNC in 2016 he has definitely found his inner long-game, but the lead-up to his turn-around is what still leaves me (although I'm glad he's Lion Ted now) still incredulous.
He was probably a blast in college. LULZ I just recall the fake ass photo shoot and he was always so robotic now he’s a new man. I liked the old Cruz but I love the new Cruz.
Right on! I believe Trump did what he had to do to win. Guess he was still trying to figure who was deep state and who was a patriot. The fact that Cruz didn’t take it personal and got on board for the win made me respect him more.
I think he’ll do what is best for the country. He would be a strong contender for next presidential candidate and draining the swamp would be a big boost for him.
How the fuck has everyone just forgotten Trey Gowdy? Does he seem like a back down kinda shill? He became disgusted on what you have to do in Washington just to get basic things done, and he would wreck mother fuckers as the AG. None of this "Hopes n Dream Barr" Bullshit. What a Snow Job so far. Our victories should be titanic. Our skulls stacked to the ceiling. What's the problem here?
Hillary alone is guilty of how many Felonies? Wake the fuck up people!
Nope. Gowdy went shill on his way out. He went about as negative as you can without going full turncoat.
Nobody is going to trust him for something as big as draining the swamp. He is a good talker and I’m sure he was a great prosecutor, but when the heat was turned up Gowdy melted.
Russiagate revealed a lot. Nunes shrunk without melting. Ryan was revealed as a rat. Rand Paul was as consistent as we knew he would be. Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and Tom Cotton rose to the occasion.
I hate it because Gowdy is who I wanted when Sessions was appointed. If he had been appointed back then it probably would have been best for everyone, but he didn’t stand up to the politic bullshit well.
There was no dirt on him. Back channel talk was that incredible pressure was placed on him, and he couldn't get what he needed for his constituents, because he wouldn't bend on certain things, as they violated his ethics, bigly.
I don’t think I suggested dirt on Gowdy. I just said that he was no ally.
He was throwing low key shade at Trump in interviews and there were strong rumors that he was going off on Trump and calling him an idiot off the record.
Again, I don’t hate the guy but why would Trump trust him as AG? In the second term Trump’s two biggest decisions will be AG and head of FBI He can’t screw either of those up again. Gowdy is too risky.
Cruz has been rock solid and Cruz is a superior legal mind.
That's fair. I was thinking outside of just Trump, and the friction he encountered. If you're isolated from deal, and can't build political capital, you're ineffective in representing your constituents. That seemed to come out towards the end, and after walking away.
Cruz will always be Lyin Ted to me. :) He's had some great political advisor/consultants, including image consultants. He's a well crafted machine.
It was VERY disappointing but Gowdy showed himself to be compromised. Both him and to a slightly lesser degree Jason Chavitz were seemingly fantastic "future stars" of the GOP and then the Deep State blatantly knee capped both of them who in turn went whimpering into the night and onto cable news where the rest of the charismatic sellouts(((they all draw paychecks from the powers that be))) reside.
I know it usually ends in disappointment(Gowdy being the perfect example) but I force myself to hold out hope that Tucker and Mark Steyn somehow aren't controlled op..
Points well taken. They never really cross that (((Line))). Without addressing it, and dealing with it, we die the death of 1000 cuts, through asymmetrical warfare which has been waged against European Peoples since Rome was penetrated by the Virus.
Critical Reading over the Winter, if not sooner, to understand the Long Game played against us.
Yet the Democratic Party Had a fake impeachment during covid, they refuse to release aid unless they get bribes, and will impeach again If the president does his job.
TRUMP taught a hard nosed fighter how to do the art of Politcal Judo. Ted has more energy and more power because he has embraced it. Its amazing to see. Lion Ted indeed.
Being stumped by the GEOTUS is the first step in being transformed. You can become a based Lion like Ted, or you can let it define you an cling to your defeat forever like Hilary. It's kind of the ultimate test of character.
Being a hard-core Trump supporter from the start, it has taken me a long while to warm up enough to Ted Cruz to consider him as a future presidential candidate, but this has done it. He will have my vote.
Ted is great not only because he actually recognizes comedy, unlike 95% of our government, but since Trump has been elected I haven’t seen him go against the President, he’s supported his agenda at almost every turn (maybe all but I’m sure there’s something)
That’s how you know it’s gg and he just wants the best for the country
Hillary made her pact with the devil. She wouldn't know based if it threw her into a van like a side of beef. Better examples would be Bloomberg or Kasich. No legitimate reason for them to hate Trump except that they're jealous beta losers. (also Kasich is really low IQ and Bloomberg is short)
They could learn from example and man up but they choose not to.
Trump showed the entire world that stoically accepting the bullshit gets you nothing and that you win by dragging your balls across your enemies' faces.
Some learned the lesson, some did not. Cruz learned it very quickly.
Mine as well. He was subject to an illicit FISA warrant as well. With that, he learned that TRUMP and him were the only two that scared the deep state. Aka, TRUMP can be trusted and TRUMP was going to bring the pain.
He embraced the MAGA movement (although I think he was always in favor of it in some shape, way, or form)
And he embraced meme culture as a way to spread his message and connect with audiences. He recognizes that memes will start to hold more and more political clout as time goes on and is taking a head start in adopting it.
He's clever in that he's realised that "meme" doesn't simply mean rage guy comics or fucking "Pokemon GO TO THE POLLS". Memes are subtle and you actually have to have your finger on the pulse to get them.
I give a lot of credit to Trump for doing it, but of course Ted deserves credit for embracing Trump and the memes. He's my senator, and I'm proud that he's my senator, but ever since Trump became president he's really stepped up to the plate and I've been very pleased with Cruz. He's not perfect (no politician ever is), but in terms of most other senators he's one of the best. I just need him to fight harder to try and get more things done, we really need our senators to step up and push for Barr to start taking action - I'm sick of nothing getting done by our DOJ
It's a solid fact that no one can vouch for his location during some of those incidents. "Not born yet", pah, what a weak alibi, anyone could say that. I say with solidity I was also "not born yet", and I can't vouch for him being with me at the time.
The Ted Cruz redemption arc is still one of my favorite storylines.
This tweet is fucking hilarious. I love it. It's so easy to just not take things too seriously and sling a little shit now and then with a wink and a smile, but so many politicians are just too fucking stuffed to be relatable or have a sense of humor. Props to Ted man. What a baller.
You cannot set a new frame, they set the frames, no one else. They will never play in your jokes, because you lack the legitimacy to create a joke. All jokes must be centrally created and approved by the party apparatus. Any outside creation is to judged with hostility no matter how well it appeals to human characteristics like irony, humor. The party feels nothing, it only knows it is supreme.
They have a deep seated insecurity that originates from deep seated self loathing. They build an armor based on superiority around them to hide this. Any words that may put a chink in that armor triggers them immensely. Since the sense of superiority is not based on reality, its a very fragile armor and can easily get triggered, sometimes without even trying to.
This is why they are always so angry, and so triggered, and not open to reason.
Hes like Michael Vick of the sports world. Did bad, took the punishment. Accepted it, embraced it, and changed for the better. I applaud all those who have reformed. But not fakers.
remember when ben shapiro tried to throw his whole career away white knighting that woman who totally got gorilla press slammed off of a ladder through 4 tables by donald trump (later reduced to he grabbed my wrist, kind of, fuck you you're hitler stop asking me questions)? i didn't forget.
Well, they have been threatening "TrUmP Co-CoNSpIRaToRS" or w/e tf they call it. Did not somebody put out a TOTALLY TWITTER FRIENDLY gravestone with Cruz's name on it and it said "TRUMP CONSPIRATOR" as the cause of death?
No one turned the corner from adversary to ally as well as Teddy Schmooze.
Rand Paul never had a contentious relationship with DJT. Trump knew Rand was not a threat and he knew that Rand would always weigh all the info available and vote his convictions and conscious.
Honestly, I've never had trouble judging a movie based what it's trying to do, instead of automatically contrasting it against movies that are considered high art. It's entertainment junk food, and I thought it was awesome entertainment junk food.
Just like, Judge Dredd and Iron Eagle and Biodome.
I wish I could erase Judge Dredd from history. Even today I get random millenials dismissing or just being clueless about Karl Urban's Dredd because the Sly shitfest is so persistent in the zeitgeist.
Back to Alien 3, you definitely gotta watch the longer cut. A whole subplot gets reinserted, the prisoners are more defined instead of glorified extras, and a character that got forgotten gets a proper end. And it gives it time to breathe so that you get into the setting instead of hurrying from scene to scene. It's not perfect (there were more cool scenes in the potato quality workprint that didn't get reinserted) but it made me love the movie despite me hating it with a passion during the 90's.
Imagine being the Laura Louisiana woman who has nothing better to do with her life than follow around Republican senators on twitter and tell them how to do their job. Embarassing.
Ted Cruz is a Harvard trained lawyer... just how long does Laura Louisiana think it takes him to craft a 4-word tweet??
He's the smartest person in every room he enters and he has a great sense of humor.
Until he visits the Oval Office. Very stable genius in there.
We have the most stable president folks.
He is the weeble of presidents. He may wobble but he never falls down.
Much better than a genial stabus?
He’s had more of a sense of humor after being destroyed by Trump. He was like a phoenix born again. I’ve always like his words and his ideas on the constitution but he was a little plastic. He’s just more real now and he is actually funny. I say all this with the most respect for Cruz. I’ve always been a fan but he wasn’t as relatable and would’ve never beat killary/billary.
And now, just maybe, he'll replace Breyer when he retires and we will have the most based SCOTUS in history
I voted for Cruz in the primaries. I wasn't sure Trump would deliver on judges as well as I expected Cruz would. Trump has definitely come through on that, though.

GEOTUS taught him how to win.
Right on! I believe Trump did what he had to do to win. Guess he was still trying to figure who was deep state and who was a patriot. The fact that Cruz didn’t take it personal and got on board for the win made me respect him more.
I wish we had more politicians like him in all the political parties.
He is my pick for second term AG.
I expect Cruz to turn down any job offer he gets prior to whenever he decides to retire from the Senate.
Ted will run again in 2024. He could have my vote.
I'm all for Ted, followed by Pence in 2032.
I think he’ll do what is best for the country. He would be a strong contender for next presidential candidate and draining the swamp would be a big boost for him.
How the fuck has everyone just forgotten Trey Gowdy? Does he seem like a back down kinda shill?

Thats why you a spectator and those guys are doing the heavy lifting. You would have lost.
Not to mention debate champ.
The dude has to shit Laura
Don't forget the focus groups.
her profile pic is RBG?
lel
lol best comment of the day
Fucking NUKED FROM ORBIT. LOOPOOLLLLLL
under rated..... and freaking awesome
Leftists don't have the capability to feel embarrassed, if they did they'd have found a new ideology a long time ago.
Yet the Democratic Party Had a fake impeachment during covid, they refuse to release aid unless they get bribes, and will impeach again If the president does his job.
Her salty response was the best part, imo. 😂
I love how Ted has embraced the memes.
TRUMP taught a hard nosed fighter how to do the art of Politcal Judo. Ted has more energy and more power because he has embraced it. Its amazing to see. Lion Ted indeed.

I’m so thankful Lion Zodiac Ted decimated Robert Francis O’Rourke here in Texas. We really dodged a bullet there with that one.
There's a reason why I call him Beta O'Rourke....
Lion Zodiac Senator Ted, his titles are beginning to grow, tremendous growth.
I am too, but I wish Cruz had campaigned a little harder.
Oh well, a reasonably close race makes them think they can turn Texas blue this year and I'm happy for them to waste their money and time trying.
Ted is great not only because he actually recognizes comedy, unlike 95% of our government, but since Trump has been elected I haven’t seen him go against the President, he’s supported his agenda at almost every turn (maybe all but I’m sure there’s something)

This is how you de-fang a meme and make it work for you. I'm glad it's something the left will never be able to do.
You cannot set a new frame, they set the frames, no one else. They will never play in your jokes, because you lack the legitimacy to create a joke.

Words 👏 are 👏 violence
So 👏 is 👏 whiteness👏
So 👏 is 👏 non-whiteness👏 if 👏 you 👏 are 👏 a 👏 conservative
Literally

lmao is this real?
Yes, the transformation into Lion Ted has been complete for some time now.
But link in case you doubt: https://twitter.com/tedcruz/status/1309552801182298113?s=20
He makes strong people stronger and destroys weak people.
Lyin' Ted became Lion Ted!
He teaches how to win.
Hes like Michael Vick of the sports world. Did bad, took the punishment. Accepted it, embraced it, and changed for the better. I applaud all those who have reformed. But not fakers.
Can you list a few “old classics”, want to try this.
Cruz missile inbound 2024
It’s going to be Cruz or DeSantis, I’m happy with either
Why not both?
😏 oh shoot I didn’t think of that
remember when ben shapiro tried to throw his whole career away white knighting that woman who totally got gorilla press slammed off of a ladder through 4 tables by donald trump (later reduced to he grabbed my wrist, kind of, fuck you you're hitler stop asking me questions)? i didn't forget.
Michelle Fields. What a hilarious saga.
Ah i see you are just as big a fan as lil benji as i am... nice!
Too long, too much explanation. 2/10.
What a great NPC response
Who knew there was another TDS - Ted Derangement Syndrome
Well, they have been threatening "TrUmP Co-CoNSpIRaToRS" or w/e tf they call it. Did not somebody put out a TOTALLY TWITTER FRIENDLY gravestone with Cruz's name on it and it said "TRUMP CONSPIRATOR" as the cause of death?
Morpheus.jpg. "He's beginning to believe..."
The Ted Cruz 180 has been marvelous.
He's so much more authentic now than he was campaigning against Trump in 2016.
Trump has taught him how to win.
Where did the Ted Cruz = Zodiac killer meme come from? He wasn't even born when the Zodiac started killing.
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ted-cruz-zodiac-killer
It was a low-IQ "Republican bad" meme that backfired horribly.
I love his sense of humor
He has truly become lion ted.
It is arguably the best Fincher movie.
...not named "Fight Club".
I LOVE TRUMP ERA CRUZ.
No one turned the corner from adversary to ally as well as Teddy Schmooze.
Rand Paul never had a contentious relationship with DJT. Trump knew Rand was not a threat and he knew that Rand would always weigh all the info available and vote his convictions and conscious.
She's just another democrat slave driver.
Ted is hilarious.
Epic movie too. Don't know if it's Fincher's best, but, it's tough to pick from his works. Even Alien 3 was great. IMO.
Can't beat Se7en though.
Only in the Assembly Cut, which is the closest to his vision.
Don't think I've seen that version.
Honestly, I've never had trouble judging a movie based what it's trying to do, instead of automatically contrasting it against movies that are considered high art. It's entertainment junk food, and I thought it was awesome entertainment junk food.

Shut the fuck up Laura lmao.
Second tweet reply is REEEEEEEEEE
Me too
Don't listen to LauraDemLoser, Ted. We love you just the way you are and we think you're doing a wonderful job. Keep up the good work!
Out of this world. A good sense of humor proves that this man is a based dude.
Ted is hilarious! hahaha!
I hope Cruz runs for president in 2024.
The guy - and his staff, too - have great senses of humor.
I <3 TZKruz
I love that he embraces the jokes.
I love how Ted is embracing his Zodiac persona. Perhaps a bit too convincing...
effing lol
Congress has only in session a handful of weeks this calendar year.
Bet Laura is really fun at parties.
I love how Ted Cruz fully embraced the memes about him.
No, little chicken hawk, SE7EN is the best
Seven is good, but Fight Club is best. We must pay homage to the original source who coined snowflake.
A jew and a serial killer walk into a bar ....
WEW
Laura girl is probably the same type that follows AOCs twitch account
REEEEE harder, Laura.
My favorite based Cuban.
I love how he just owns it.
Lion needs to run in 2024. Bar fucking none
Hilarious
Get out of my State of Louisiana Laura!
Ben Shapiro is a whiny sounding cuck. Not a fan T all.
SCOTUS pick confirmed! Why would he care about getting caught now when he can just have Trump's SCOTUS overturn any guilty verdict!
