Oh no no, you either decrease airport security for everyone, or you shut the fuck up.

Absolutely not.
If you want to act like a dipshit you need to be held accountable for your dipshittery.
Dipshit is a prime example of the faction in his party rallying voters to do the things he's so afraid of. What a cowardly, two-faced, dirtbag.
This makes me uneasy. The Cancun thing makes me want to be opposed to this as well, in a general “Internet wants you to feel things” way.
But these people aren’t idiots. (Sure they victimize and weaponize useful idiots, but they themselves are very clever.) Are they planning to have politicians taken out by useful terrorists, and want to avoid passing of reasonable legislation - so they strategically propose unreasonable legislation to poison the whole idea?
It’s never as simple as a few paragraphs make it sound. I think a wait-and-form-opinions-later approach is a reasonable one.
Does he get nervous when he’s on his way to Cancun?
Maybe he's worried that his dad wasn't satisfied with killing JFK and needs to kill again.
Wat
No no no, his dad killed JFK and he's the Zodiac Killer.
Oh gosh, you are right! I find it hard to stay abreast of all his family's murders. I've changed my mind on this idea, the security escorts are good for us, the potential victims.
Turns out populism pitchforks are pointy on both ends of the crowd.
Ted will have to fund the security guard's ticket to Cancun.
@MicroWave It must be soooo hard to be a white, cis male trying to travel without getting harassed. #civil_rights #TedCruz
If I thought the job were that important I would agree.
But it’s not, and if you’re so hated by the people you represent that you feel like you should be treated differently than everyone else maybe you’re in the wrong job.
They aren’t royalty.
Absolutely fcuk these righties continually trying to separate themselves from the "bourgeoisie" they hate so much.
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Ted Cruz wants to intimidate people so he doesn’t have to listen to them calling him an idiot in public places.
I saw this rat faced fuck at IAH back in October. Not a single person was trying to interact with him and he already had a state trooper escort with a wide buffer zone around him. He had that smarmy, stupid smile on that stupid dumb face of his. It ruined my whole day.
And what's not been mentioned yet here is that one has to be checked by TSA before being in this area. Aside from his snowflake feelies, what's he worried bout?
Shut up you neckbeard twat snot. What about the judges and jury you and your people are sending your goons after, do they get private security off of tax payers money?
Mr. Weasley voice, my friend. If you were a good human being, you wouldn't have worried about this. Kindly, go get fucked.
I love that he feels uncomfortable in airports. I love the suggestion that he's being constantly berated and accosted. It's such rare good news.
"I would like an act of law shield me from the consequences of my actions and accountability to my constituency." -Ted Cruz probably
His constituency is already refusing to hold him accountable, so...
“I would also like this paid for by taxpayers or any other form of Socialism for us fat tax wasting leeches…”
—Rafael Cruz
"While also being a pussy that needs a security escort when I flee a disaster area I am responsible for" Ted "Tough As Texas" Cruz
Can't risk interacting with the peasants, their poverty might be contagious. That's how that works, right?
Yes just like the mega church pastor who has a private jet so he "doesn't have to fly with the demons."
I like that he's scared. That headline warms my heart a little
Is the coward suddenly afraid of the general public? What reason might people have that they would dislike him?
Maybe he's tired of wiping other people's spit off his clothes and face
Hmm, what would cause people doing such vile deeds? /s
Ted Cruz is a big tough manly man. Just look at that beard! He ain't 'fraid of nuthin exceptin' them there pesky constituents.
Ted, listen. Maybe if you weren’t a horrible legislator, and an even worse excuse for a human, people would not feel the need to slightly inconvenience you at the airport.
and an even worse excuse for a human...
Which he totally is and feels human shame for this.
And not collectively, for he is one being and not many!
Can you truly represent the people if you hide from them, Ted? Weren't you elected to represent?
