President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

To quote The Boss:

Them who's got got out of town
And them who ain't got left to drown

 

“And there’s the ceremonial first pitch by President Biden to start the Nats’ season, and here’s the new tradition, where GOP congressmen will throw Senator Ted Cruz under an actual city bus in center field.”

 

If I were Ted Cruz, I wouldn't have gone to Cancun. I know it in my bones, I wouldn't have done it.

But I'm a certain kind of person - who has many, many flaws of my own - and we need to be honest: Not a lot of people - senators, captains of industry, whatever - back out of that vacation. at risk of pissing off their family, so they can loom over a power outage crisis. And looming is what he’d be doing because it’s not like there’s a switch he can flip in Amarillo.

 

Is Ted Cruz on drugs?. He must have set some kind of record for career altering (bad) decisions in a single month between his defense of Trump, bailing on his homestate during an emergency and the haircut.

 

HAHA!

 

Stil undecided if the Real World sketch on SNL was a bigger takedown of Bob Dole or The Real World. Stay strong Sen. Dole.

Raphael Cruz is afraid of pissing off his family? He’s a fluff boy for the guy who slandered his wife and threatened to expose her.
Raphy doesn’t give a shit about his fugly wife

 

Agree with all of it.

I may dislike Ted Cruz more than anyone in Congress. Anyone.

I just don't think that particular decision is where Cruz is an outlier. Perhaps being a dumbbell about it makes him so an outlier. I imagine there are other Senators who "got away" too, and simply did so more quietly, without a ridiculous wolfman beard, without having generated the (deserved) negative press Cruz has.
