Damn those buttery males!

"I do not like that man Ted Cruz..." - John Oliver

So... Ted voted against his own bill?

Rafael Cruz hates Rafael Cruz so much that he voted against his own amendment.

If you want to see how ignorant some voters can be, there is really no better evidence than Ted 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

This guy is fighting the establishment? Are you kidding me? .

I don't think he'd won his election; I also think it was a local election, rather than a federal one? But, I'll admit, I hadn't been following his race very closely.

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!

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

lol he even voted against his own plan. Imagine being the schmuck who was the one dissenting vote

Agreed. Make them do the work first ffs or something. Tired of these "providers" getting free money for shit they dont even do.

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.

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.

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.

Yes everyone know's a Canadian's shit doesn't stink and the country definitely doesn't have it's own fascism problem.

Definitely.

Cool whattaboutism but it doesnt change the political reality.

I dated a Canadian once and you'd have to wait an hour to use the bathroom after her but maybe that was because she was a vegan.

Anyways what are those shifty Canadians up to up there?

What's the fascism problem you're talking about?

Stop your billionaires from funding right wing bullshit in my country then

There are a handful of loud Maple MAGAs that have been continually losing elections. So yeah, there's some of that here. However, OP is just salty that the US is a fiery shitshow and is deflecting.

These fascist right wing bastards are being emboldened (and amplified by American conservative funding) everywhere but Canada realizes it's dependent on immigration enough that even our right wing parties are more hesitant to go full racist so the lowest of the low here don't have a Trump to get all enthusiastic about.

Plus now that Trump is picking a fight they don't feel as comfortable speaking up here with their shitty views.

I think we can all agree that the uber rich are the issue and not each other.
