Thanks For Asking, Ted!

1. Why didn't Cruz know. I knew.

[lame54]

17. He knows - that's why he doesn't provide the answer...

Let the ignorant Trumpers fill in the blank

[LisaL]

2. Wasn't Ted born in Canada? He can go there to get his vaccine for free.

Who knows how long we will have to wait to get it in US.

[rurallib]

8. 'Calgary' Ted? Why yes he was

[Bev54]

13. Yes but we do not want him back, not even for a visit

We are much smarter here without him around. How does a senator not fucking know where the vaccine was developed?

[rurallib]

15. you gotta sleep sometime. Then we sneak in and dump him.

[Bev54]

16. LOL but we will smell him coming.

[luvtheGWN]

24. Nope.

He gave up his citizenship -- and we are so relieved and happy he did.

[LisaL]

36. Can you really give up the citizenship of the country you were born in?

We will make you to take him back!

[luvtheGWN]

37. Yes, you can.

And NO, you won't! Send him to Cuba -- that's where his parents came from.

[liberaltrucker]

30. Y'all would consider us sending him back an act of war

[Bev54]

38. Yes, pretty much, lol

[Rhiannon12866]

25. My first thought, too...

[TheBlackAdder]

27. Didn't he renounce his Canadian dual-citizenship because he was so sure he'd be POTUS?

[LiberalFighter]

40. Especially since he is technically a Canadian.

Even though his mother is American she had intent to have Canadian citizenship when she voted. Also, they didn't file with the embassy his birth identifying as an American.

[ironflange]

43. A cousin of a friend used to live in the same house that Cruz did here in Calgary

This was after Ted & Co. moved out.

The house was a big block-shaped thing, mostly glass, mid-60s futuristic style, and must have been hellishly expensive to heat. It's gone now, somebody knocked it down and put up a McMansion.

[Blue Owl]

3. Ted. Fucking. Cruz.

[Deuxcents]

4. That says it all..

Ted..fucking..Cruz.

[lastlib]

5. Insert the word "Jerk-off" between "Fucking" and "Cruz",,,,

and I would agree with you!

THAT says it all about Raffy!

[3catwoman3]

11. Isn't it interesting how many Republicans have the same...

...middle name?

Donald Fucking Trump
Mike Fucking Pence
Mitch Fucking McConnell
Ted Fucking Cruz
Lindsey Fucking Graham
Ron Fucking Johnson
Bill Fucking Barr
And on and on...

[burrowowl]

19. LOL!

[Bev54]

39. Good observation. lol

[Xipe Totec]

6. Ted would drown looking up at the rain if not for his schnoz making an umbrella to protect him. nt

[Vivienne235729]

28. Bwahahaha

[plimsoll]

7. I think we're too hard on Rafaelito.

We assume he's trying to be clever, and it may not be the case. If you accept that R. Heinlein actually formulated "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" as a law then assuming he really is dumber than a bag of hammers would explain things just as well.

Which makes the March for Science answer great. It can be taken as smart ass, or it could be the way a teacher would respond to the hardworking but not too clever student when they ask a legitimate question.

Rafaelito knows how to screw an opponent politically, he knows how to organize a riot in an election county facility. We have no reason to believe his knowledge of science is particularly strong.

[niyad]

18. At least a bag of hammers is useful. I have yet to determine a use for raphie.

[plimsoll]

41. Hammer, ok.

Hammers, ok.

Using hammers while in a bag would be inefficient and difficult.

But I suppose that’s still one up on Rafi.

[niyad]

42. Obviously, one would take a hammer from the bag as needed. Perhaps the bag is at a barn-raising, in

in which case, all the hammers may prove of use.

[plimsoll]

44. You're mighty generous there.

Pretty elitist (sarcasm) of you to assume he’d grasp that nuance, but yeah sure that’s what you’d do.

Just can’t deliver that raw.

[niyad]

45. Actually, this is far more kind than most of what I say to him.

[dflprincess]

9. I thought lawyers were taught not to ask a question

they don't know the anwer to.

[colorado_ufo]

10. Good response but

the Rude Pundit's response was better!

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. OWNED!!!!!

[Gothmog]

14. Carnival Cruz is an idiot

[George II]

20. Bazinga!

[moondust]

21. How's your "guarantee" going, Teddy?

~
If it ends up that Biden wins in November — I hope he doesn’t, I don’t think he will — but if he does, I guarantee you the week after the election, suddenly all those Democratic governors, all those Democratic mayors, will say, “Everything’s magically better, go back to work, go back to school, suddenly all the problems are solved.” You won’t even have to wait for Biden to be sworn in. All they’ll need is Election Day, and suddenly their willingness to destroy people’s lives and livelihoods … they will have accomplished their task. That’s wrong, It’s cynical, and we shouldn’t be a part of it.

Was that a money-back guarantee, Teddy? I'll settle for your resignation from office in disgrace and your disbarment for depraved indifference in grossly misleading the public leading to mass casualties.

[Beartracks]

31. I was just wondering today about all those Republican pols and pundits who predicted this.

... That the pandemic they claim is a hoax was going to magically disappear like yesterday's news if Biden won the election.

How have they acknowledged that the pandemic has continued unabated to dominate the national discourse, to disrupt millions of lives, and to kill thousands and thousands more Americans? Oh, right: by not acknowledging at all that they were totally wrong, as usual, about everything -- or not at all fessing up that they were just lying to stoke fear. Usual Republican BS M.O.

22. Think what a decent human being could have done with that Ivy League education. (nt)

[Nitram]

23. So explain to me again why Ted Cruz was regarded as "intelligent?"

[LisaL]

35. They are comparing him to other Republicans?

[dsharp88]

26. Immigrant MUSLIM scientists at that!

What a criminally twisted bigot

[BigmanPigman]

29. When the DNC sent me surveys during the 2016 GOP campaign

they asked me to narrow down who I thought the DNC should attack next for about 6 months. The final survey was between Cruz and tRump. It was a no brainer a year earlier, Cruz of course. But ever since the golden escalator I knew tRump would win and told the DNC to go after him. I should have added, "with a wooden stake if all else fails.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

32. A petrified cactus is better than a wooden stake. Well, better for entertainment value.

[turbinetree]

33. Maybe him and his Federalist Society hypocrites will tell the world something else.............

that the they were beer makers instead of virus hunters.................

[BobTheSubgenius]

34. Another douchenozzle I can't wait to see the back of.

He's a little way down the list, but still EASILY Top Twenty, and probably Top Ten.
