(24,329 posts)A ceremonial resolution recognizing what a useless human being Ted Cruz has been passed on the Senate floor. The Senate resolution included what a petty, mean-spirited, horrible, useless excuse for a human Ted Cruz has been his entire life. The resolution celebrated that Cruz had finally been called home by Lucifer

It's looks like Cruz is trying to perfect his villian look. Despicable man.
These MFs know how to be mean and cruel to the legacy of true Heroines.
