Ted Cruz suggests Pat Benatar is the soundtrack for child sacrifice

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) suggested this week that Pat Benatar's music was played during child sacrifice.

During a Wednesday interview with host Joe Pags, Cruz was asked whether the U.S. Senate would convict President Joe Biden if he were ever impeached.

"If the Senate gets the impeachment and a trial is held, do you think you could ever get a supermajority to remove him?" Pags wondered.

Hey Cruz do you understand this song.......you nitwit...Hell I will even paste the lyrics.....you idiot....your party fuck head wants to take food out of school kids mouths and give that tax break to the billionaires and their kids....





They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Because Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
Be daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing

Because Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

No, Hell Is For Children

Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell

A series of 10 micro doses orta do the trick. Then again, his fetid brain may be too far gone for neural rewriting.

that it wouldn't matter what Trump did or to whom, they would still cheer him on - and projected it onto Biden.

He chose Benatar's song because he needed something/someone to Q-up his comment. He knows full well Trump supporters will feast on this like flies on shit.

Just another liar stirring up the MAGA’s by peddling falsehoods and fantasy.

…because, while we all know it’s bullshit, that narrative only has to get out in the far-right rabbit holes to make it not unlikely that some Q-nut shows up at one of her concerts with an AR-15 and a determination to do whatever it takes to “save the children.”

At their core they are both about secret groups stealing children.
