Ted Cruz saved America at 3:30 AM last night. . In the dead of night, Schumer sought to pass the federal overhaul of elections by unanimous consent. Only one objection by a senator was required to stop the process: Ted Cruz.

Cruz is as much of a piece of shit as Schumer is. Don't let them make him into a hero for doing one thing correctly in this publicity stunt.

That's exactly right.

Moreover, we are congratulating someone, for doing their job... As sad as it is to say.

Instead of that, what should be discussed is how 3am voting on a bill tactics, like 3am vote dumps, are not only acceptable but really the standard, or how was he the only one to push back on this.

Someone pushing through a garbage bill, and it getting stuck by representatives who disagree is a feature of the process, not a bug. Pushing fast changes isn't what the US system was designed to do, in fact, if it happened, you know the bill is either really good or really bad. In almost every instance for the past 100 years, they're all really bad.

All true and insightful.

He still did it.

I'm not familiar with Schumer but Cruz is a tremendous piece of shit. This sounds like barely veiled propaganda to feel out Cruz's presidential ambitions.

Or it could be, you know, the truth.

What is it with you SJW types and your constant need to tell others your feelings?

[–][deleted] 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun -  (4 children)

I don't know why you group me with the far left or SJWs. I'm liberal leaning but not enough to not get banned from liberal subs constantly.

Cruz is not popular with many of my fellow Texans for a number of reasons, not just because his politics are too right wing.

[–]Chipit[S] 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (3 children)

Because you consistently advocate for SJW policies and are always there to defend their disgusting racism. And you always tell everyone your feelings; who told you that we care one whit? That's an SJW tell for sure. You're not liberal, liberals are in favor of free speech and freedom in general. You're a dirty leftist.

Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

BTW, Cruz squeaked out a victory in an election in which about 50% of the voting machines were paperless and thus unverifiable. If you had a voter verification system this likely wouldn't have happened and Beto would be in the Senate and this middle of the night bill would have passed.

You must have me confused with someone else, I much prefer right wing racism since at least it benefits my own race.

Seems Chipit has a crush on Cruz and is letting it affect his judgement.

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

you consistently advocate for SJW policies

Not Musky. Outrageous claims require outrageous proof.

What's up your skirt today? Lots of misinformation I see.

[–]Chipit[S] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Both Jason Carswell and Jesus showed up to call Cruz a Jew. I feel like a earned some kind of award.

ive been called a cowfucking/street shitting indian on saidit due to my username(white guy in the south), but i dont know if ive gotten the jew award from 'jesus' yet. he/she/it never responds to me.

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Why are you smearing me and putting words in my mouth like that?

I'm not anti-Semitic, and I've never called Cruz a Jew, nor even a Zionist though he's certainly the latter.

You seem to be equating "a piece of shit" with "a Jew" or you've made a mistake.

[–]GST893 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

The two of them and the rest of the legislative, executive and judicial branches. It's not a swamp, it's a cesspool.

[–]Smarterthanlastweek2 7 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

What was this, some kind of pop Senate vote at 3:30 am? Don't Senators get to read bills first? Don't they have to be distributed at least a few days before hand? Who schedules votes at fucking 3:30am? What's going on here?

Edit: The bill is 886 pages long!!! https://www.congress.gov/117/bills/hr1/BILLS-117hr1eh.pdf WTF?!

Edit 2:

This subtitle may be cited as the ‘‘Stop Automatically Voiding Eligible Voters Off Their Enlisted Rolls in States Act’’ or the ‘‘SAVE VOTERS Act’’.

Give me a fucking break.

Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."

[–]Smarterthanlastweek2 7 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Lol! I remember that! You'd think we'd have learned by now! What a joke.

America is hanging by a thread.

[–]RuckusChan 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

what is happening?...the system is broken

[–]skeech 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

When you spend more time arguing and blocking people than anything else, the system will be more broken

[–]Rob3122 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Lol have you not been paying attention. America is ruined and has been jewified.

[–]Jesus 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

It's either Schumer, the guardian of Israel, or Cruz, a Zionist who pays homage to Israel.

[–]goatmeal 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

where to go?

[–]Jesus 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Ted Cruz

...is a foreign agent and Zionist. He's nothing but a grifting greedy mammon loving conman. Schumer is also a foreign agent and Zionist, consideres himself the guardian of Israel.

[–]mahavishnunj 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

elections havent been real in decades, if ever. but the thought of ted cruz as a savior of ANYTHING, is even more hilarious/sad than believing in the legitimacy of our elections.

^ THIS!

[–]785064 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Schumer is such a slick bastard.

[–]passionflounderIndependent 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

The country is already done as a representative republic. This was almost certainly a manipulative piece of political theater meant to maintain the illusion that we have any voice whatsoever... which we don't.

[–]JasonCarswellVoluntaryist 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Truth.

[–]IkeConn 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

I understand why there is no such thing as magic or time travel. If there was Schumer, Pelosi, Biden, Romney, Kerry, Hillary, and a host of others would be erased or deceased.

I could make a big list of people I'd deal with before I murder baby Hitler with a time machine.
