You’ll find a picture of Ted Cruz’s face in the dictionary right next to the definition of Smarmy Fuck.

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.

I do not like that man Ted Cruz
I do not like his far-right views
I do not like his stupid chin
I do not like his smarmy grin
John and his writers are a treasure
Plus I'm fairly certain he ate my son, which is a major bummer.
And the word craven.
See also "Miserable son of a bitch".
And coward
Second upvote in one day for the use of the word 'smarmy'
smarmy fuck
That's reserved for another (full-Canadian) career politician bent on ruining this country instead. And he could get in.

Nothing will make me happier than to see that smug cunt Cruz booted out of the senate.
Actually, that is not true. Ken Paxton in federal prison would make me happier.
If it's of any consolation, there's some joy to be found in watching him utterly degrade himself in service of the even bigger piece of shit that made an absolute mockery of both Cruz and his family.
I highly agree with this statement lol

I wouldn't hold my breath. He won his primary by more votes than Trump did this year. Cruz is intensely popular in the televangelical wing of the party and firmly entrenched in the state. Meanwhile, Allred still has middling name recognition and lackluster enthusiasm.
My post was deleted earlier (improperly linked the debate livestream), but I think that Allred held up really well and got Cruz so mad he was yelling at parts, which in contrast Allred hadn't shown much anger until the very end where Cruz started to try and twist Allreds words before their closing statements. My worry was that there would be a few answers like the economic plans or the ongoing conflicts in Israel that could have been a point where Allred could be weak in, but instead it was reassuring that he was able to tie it in to his overall message for Texans to fire Cruz by showing himself as competent and able to view problems as a bigger picture instead of freaking out about transgender sports.
Cruz was such a shitshow. "I don't have to answer because I'm not part of the state legislature". We know exactly what that means you fucking coward. Brave Sir Rafael ran away.

Why did this get your comment deleted? This is Lemmy, not fucking reddit; why the fuck are we removing comments for shit like linking to a offsite livestream??
It says post, not comment.
Thank you, that helps; i'm fine with higher standards for posts
Agreed. Take care.
I do not like that boy Ted Cruz
I do not like how he eats his poos.
I do not like his beady eyes
I do not like his bald face lies.
That boy Ted Cruz does make me sick
That boy Ted Cruz can eat a dick.
Can you do this on every post please?
Lemmy's own Poem for your Sprog.
Well it's originally from John Oliver
True but I just love the combination of rhythm and sarcasm.
Hiding in a supply closet. I have no idea if that is true but it sure sounds like something Ted Cruz would do.
When you don't have time to get to Cancun...
Yeah, I have no trouble believing Ted Cruz would cower in a supply closet while the patriots on the floor were preparing to defend the House against Ted's insurrectionist buddies.
I mean to be fair so would I. But then I wouldn't turn around and defend the fuckers that had me hiding
There were multiple terrified Repubs fleeing or cowering who then later decided to tell lies. "Just a regular tour."
It's from his own book that he released in 2022.
Crazy, how in the heck did he spin that to make himself look good?
He's familiar with the closets location and had a key to it from all the fucking his secretaries in it, probably
He will come out of the closet some day.
The Capitol Police were heroes on J6. An issue that didn’t get widely reported were the incidents of suicide among those officers. Source
Nothing to laugh about.
Ted Cruz is a ball sack with no balls
Hmm, well, that would certainly explain his weak beard lol.
Ted Cruz and Elon Musk. Both born outside of USA. Both are actively trying to dismantle democracy.
Hey, Canada is pretty big on democracy, too. But Cruz is a piece of shit.

And true to character Ted proceeded to prove him right by rambling about illegal immigrants.
As a trans girl in Texas I'm really hoping we can finally get Cruz the hell out of here. He has done nothing for us and everything for himself.
Isn't he the zodiac killer?
Any serial killer that doesn't get caught is at least a billion times more intelligent than Rafael Cruz, please don't give him that much credit.

Christ. What a greasy fuck. Looks like medical waste rolled around in a pile of pubes
The day Ted Cruz leaves office is the day he stops taking vacations while his state is being frozen over or hit by a storm.
