    Why is this foreign born person still in the US? Didn’t Trump say he wanted to deport naturalized citizens? Deport Ted Rafael Edward Cruz back to Canada! Send him back!

      After all the shit you’re giving us to deal with in Canada this would be the final straw that leads to war. He’s a product of your culture and his power comes from you, he’s your creation.

    Stop giving broadband funds globally, it’s just squandered, it needs to be manually voted on and approved per project.

      If you want to see how ignorant voters can be, there is no better evidence than Cruz.

      I followed his recent Senate race in Texas. In a campaign speech, Cruz said he was fighting the elite.

      • His father owns an oil company in Canada.
      • He attended a private prep school in Houston. His classmates were Bush family kids.
      • He attended Harvard University and Princeton
      • His wife Heidi Cruz is a top executive at Goldman Sachs

      Fighting the elite? What a joke 🤦🤦🤦.

        You have to remember it’s not about facts, it’s about feelings. As I always say, we’re all susceptible to that to some extent, but the republicans have it bad.

    I thought the 1 vote had to be the Zodiac killer Ted Cruz, but no:

    The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.

    Did he just not get the memo, or is he that paid off?

    So what I’m hearing is this is a bill to distract from more important things and to delay.

      Not really, the entire bill is the worst thing to happen to the USA in a hundred years, Ted Cruz’s tiny portion was just so stupid that even the party of destruction disliked it.

      States rights was never really an ideal (in general, if it’s wrong to allow something in one state, it’d be wrong to allow it in the rest, after all). It was just a thing to bring out whenever the federal government disagreed with something they wanted but some states didn’t. But now that they control the federal government, it becomes a liability, so they drop it.
