Sen. Ted Cruz has introduced a bill that would limit the use of preferred names by trans people.
The irony, critics point out? The senator, whose legal name is Rafael Edward Cruz, uses a preferred name himself: Ted.

He's the kinda guy that leaves his tube socks on and pulls his pecker out of his whitey tighties before fucking his wife with the lights off.

Glad to be of service 😌 😂

Correction, he's the kind of lizard that eats a rat while the humans aren't looking.

I imagined this in a motel and the car lights in the parking lot are rolling by. I hate it

out of his skidmarked whitey tighties

FTFY. Just wanted to complete the scene.

The majority of people who support and parrot shit like this aren't even doing it because they think it's somehow good for the country, they just think it's something that needs to be fixed because some ignorant piece of shit on FOX News or the like told them it was bad, and we should all be mad about it.

I can't imagine being so fucking bored and miserable with my life, that the sheer THOUGHT of someone else being happy and comfortable... or even just not sad and miserable in their own life, that I'd feel obligated to dedicate what precious time I have on this earth to ruining everything for everyone.

I agree with you - Ted Cruz is an absolute piece of shit, but the people who feel driven to support these types of policies and bills etc. are truly vile human beings.

Am loving the energy in this post! It's so tiring that this shit is what passes for politics around here. Like half' the fucking country seriously thinks kicking us is a worthy focus for the whole damn government? Really? REALLY? Let's just stop and have a vote on how much we all hate those people for existing! That'll make something better, won't it? ... Now here I am getting worked up too. Bleh. Of course those people have no concept of "better," only hurting people they hate.

"I hate his voice" tacked onto the end there is kinda hilarious though 🤣

Also the initialism for the act's name is SHSA which reminds me that "SHSR" is the IBM->HAL thing (letter-position-decrement?) for "TITS." So I guess this bill is about TITB? ... Nevermind, I'll show myself out :P

Him eating his booger on the debate stage still makes me gag uncontrollably if I see the clip, and if it pops into my head sometimes I'll start gagging, which is pretty much every time I see his name

There are very few things that make me gag in disgust, this one gets me every time

Fucking nasty ass mother fucker.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Just the memory that you just summoned made me audibly gag when I read your comment. So thanks?

Ted Cruz is so gross.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, just his weasley voice? Not his weasley everything else?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He gets on my fucking nerves when he talks.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

How about when you look at him? Or anything or everything else he does?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Cruz is in the business of exacerbating problems, not solving them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How do you feel about his punchable yokel face?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Violence is not the answer! But it does make me feel a lot better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I want to smash a shit pie on his face.
