Ted in here downvoting 😂🤣
Fuck you Ted 🖕
His real name is Rafael. He doesn't believe in preferred names.
Also, only a literal bloodbath of republicans will suffice.
Nuuu, you can't sabotage the midterms yet, Cruz isn't running for election again until 2030. It's the only way us Texas lefties are ever getting rid of him.
Fled Cruz can go pound dirt with his hips. There will be a bloodbath on a few fronts.
🤞
Holy shit, is that the Zodiac Killer?
Imagine being the poor asshole that has to listen to his podcast and then make a headline out of it
No thanks lol
100% HUMAN CANDIDATE Ted Cruz
Of course Ted fucking Cruz is concerned with getting reelected, not, you know; the whole horrific collapse of the stock market, wiping out the 401ks and retirement savings of any of his constituents who even had them.
Or the financial harm that absolutely will translate into direct harm as people can’t afford to fucking eat.
No no. It’s that the party that caused this fucking disaster won’t stay in power. That’s the real reason they need to act.
The people complaining are literally the only people with the power to actually do something about it.
All of this could end tomorrow.
I will guarantee you can get all Democrats on board with a bill that reclaims the power of levying tariffs as outlined in Article 1 of the Constitution. Reclaim the powers and nullify all tariffs that have been imposed by Trump since his inauguration. Even half of Republicans and all Democrats would be enough to cover the 2/3 in the Senate needed to override a Trump veto.
That's it. That's all it would take and this whole thing would be over. But anyone in the GOP that is complaining about these tariffs while holding the power to actually do something about it isn't actually complaining. It's performance art. Don't listen to what they say, look at how they vote. If they're saying they're against it while voting in favor of it, they're lying to you.
And these people are all lying to you. They will vote in lockstep when push comes to shove.
Dems actually did introduce a bill to do essentially that in the Senate for tarrifs on Canada. It passed 51-48 with only 4 republicans breaking rank. Notably in this case, Ted Cruz voted against that bill
I should note it's unlikely Mike Johnson will ever put it up for a vote in the house. If he did and it passed, it will likely get vetoed. Without more republicans breaking rank it's not going to be able to get to the 2/3 of congress needed to veto override
Need to see more republicans with spines for this bill to get through

If their masters tell them to vote against tariffs, they’ll do so. These politicians hold no actual power. They are the mouthpieces standing in front of the monsters who hold actual power. And they don’t give a shit about anyone or anything.
These republicans twice literally just had to say one word, "yes," when the impeachment votes happened in the Senate, and Trump would never have had power over them (and us) again, like magic.
We already got a good peak of that back at Wisconsin.
and florida!
yes, the two congressional races went republican, but the spread was narrowing. and not by a small margin.
Raphael, Raphael doesn't like people using preferred names, or pronouns.
One can only pray they do ted, you miserable cunt.
It's a Good Thing these Same Republicans DID and ARE DOING Literally NOTHING to Stop these Tariffs that they are Calling DISASTROUS! Oh Well! At least we can rely on Chuck Schumer's DEMOCRATS to. . .Also Do Nothing to Stop these DISASTROUS Tariffs!
Midterms? Not at this rate. I'm sure some fabricated emergency will spring up delaying such democratic luxuries.
