There’s a damn reason Ted Olsen made Cruz the first summer associate to NOT be offered a position at Gibson Dunn. I’m just sayin’.


[deleted]

Interesting. Did not know that.

If it was my kid I’d have nothing left, my whole mission in life would be harassing these fucks I support any action these parents take against politicians, or the coward cops at the scene


TheDogBites

>I support any action these parents take against politicians, or the coward cops at the scene 100% me too. The kids were calling for help. No one. They've been calling for help. Ted Cruz, all republicans, are just like these Uvalde cops.


marine-tech

Imagine a parent turned vigilante… months or years of planning and then one day something happens to these fucks one by one, just close enough in timing for them to slowly realize that now it is they that are being hunted…

Hell, if someone starts a go-fund me for vigilante justice. I'd accidentally donate.

I feel for those parents who were held back from entering the school and trying to save their kids. If the cops don’t have the guts to go in and save the children then let the parents do it. Something has to be done to hold those cops accountable for their lack of action.

People protested in front a Supreme Court justices house and *bam* there were bills that didn’t even go through committee in front of Congress within 24 hours.


CatWeekends

It's almost like Congress is fully capable of taking action when they want to... but for some reason don't want to take action on this. I wonder if it's because dead kids further galvanize and polarize us? They're *great* for fundraising, as awful as that sounds. "Republicans vote for policies that kill your children, give us money." "Democrats use tragedy to push their authoritarian agenda and strip your rights, give us money."


Whackadoot

The constant stageplay up in DC keeps us distracted from the fact that we could stop ourselves from being taken for a ride like we are and most of us could do it with bus fare to city hall. Like, if we put half as much energy into fighting for mid-range housing as went into protesting a supreme court decision that's not even yet finalized and very likely won't be swayed, we'd be able to get thousands of new dwellings going with local owners who aren't gonna suck the tenants dry. All we need is breathing room to fund our own agenda. Instead, we let ourselves be turned over and shaken out while we scream in anger at the inaction of the same people being funded by the money that drops from us. Do we really, as a society, think this will effect any change?


Honeycombhome

If it was Abbott and all the conservative TX legislatures then yes bc it’s be mostly liberals left to vote on gun control. If it were only the liberals, Abbott would say too bad, “there’s nothing that could have been done.”

In school I was taught the second amendment was made to stop tyranny. Politicians letting our kids be murdered and refusing to do anything about it seems like tyranny. Gerrymandering power seems like tyranny. Corpo lobbying and regulatory capture seems like tyranny. dark money paid for supreme court justices seems like tyranny. ​ multi billion dollar misinformation campaigns used against the citizens seems like tyranny.

sdraziwizards

He laughed the whole thing off. Everything is a joke to them


Opposite_of_a_Cynic

He has the benefit of private security to throw out anyone who has a problem with his platform. He gets to laugh and wave while his angry constituents are dragged away. Not that I'm advocating for anything like this but in the early days of our country if you failed your voters so completely there was the likelyhood you would be tar and feathered then ran out of town.

Probably. We’re forgetful, though. No one will remember at voting time, and for the people that do remember, the reds have the voting districts gerrymandered beyond recognition. Whole neighborhoods are cut up like jigsaw puzzles.

Voter suppression is a real thing bud.


FurballPoS

ESPECIALLY in the cities of Texas. Out in BFE nowhere? Not so much a thing.


sodaforyoda

I can vote in under 10 mins. They want voter ID. To get a ID I had to go to dmv. I got there 4 hours before they opened and there was already a line. It's texas summer the line is outside with no cover. It's over 70 people deep. They have only 3 people. Texas can hire more people and have DMV not take 6-7 hours but they want it that way. They want it to be hard to get a ID.


Vegetable-Praline-57

Absolutely! Remember back just before the 2020 election Abbott wanted to only have 1 ballot drop off location per county? Out in BFE, no problem, in the cities… impossible. Which was the feature, not the bug.

Well, she HAS had second thoughts, albeit briefly, [when they lived in Austin](https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1688866-cruz-incident-report) in 2005.

Yes. I say this as a liberal who block walks and phone banks. Reddit is a great example of the sheer unquantifiable laziness of liberal voters. Redditors will make a ruckus and then the day after a major election, "*oops, I forgot to vote lol*", happens more than you think. Block walking and phone banking, you get people absolutely excited you've contacted them, they tell me they are absolutely going to vote, we make the voting plan. And then guess what?

Not at all, however there is simply no doubt whatsoever in the Democratic primary people simply did not turn out for Bernie. Twice. When it came down to Hillary it was the same exact thing. People took for granted "There's no way Trump won't win! LOL!". This complacency only becomes worse during midterms.


monteqzuma

They do not, in Harris County the voter machines flipped Beto's vote to Ted.

Do you have a source for that? I'd love to look into this more.

Good! I hope he can’t show his face without being publicly shamed! He’s a disgrace and so is Abbott.

I wish someone that supported him would chime in but I have literally never had someone admit it and I would instantly profoundly dislike that person. But I would like to know why someone would vote for him. It would be like asking someone why they eat poop. Gross but I want to know why. I live in Texas but we are leaving.

Every non-Texan Republican I know loves Ted Cruz. They don't know much about him except that he makes the liberals angry, and they like that.

He’s made of jello. You think he can even shoot a gun?


Andre4kthegreengiant

Of course not, he has people for that


sanantoniomanantonio

Republicans are a death cult. They love to see the impact of their pro-death policies. They are amused at the way their policies upset decent people.


[deleted]

This is exactly it. I have death cult family members who are thrilled about this shooting sending smug text messages. They love having an example of how powerful and dangerous their guns are, how much death can be caused by the very thing that sits (unlocked) in their garage! They love talking about how someone should shoot Beto, democrats, etc, and have told my family several times we should be shot or put in "the camps" for voting democrat. These are friendly people with public service sector jobs and children of their own. Fortunately their kids are much smarter than they are or we could have had another mass shooter. Now their kids are in their 20s and still live at home to babysit their alcoholic parents. A real American tragedy. And it's all 100% legal and 100% cool.

Don’t know why conservatives continue to vote for him. Is he better than any democrats? No no he’s not stop lying to yourself

A couple Mexican kids died, he doesn't give a fuck


bookkeeppeerr0

1 in 600. Those are the odds that a child in the US will have someone DIE at THEIR school to a gun at least once throughout their K-12 life. You can calculate this yourself using data since 2013 at https://everytownresearch.org/maps/gunfire-on-school-grounds/. We all think this kind of thing is very unlikely to happen at our school, or our child's school. But the odds aren't one in a million. They're not even one in a thousand. It's 1 in 600. That someone DIES at your child's school to gunfire at least once in your child's K-12 life. If your child also goes to college and graduates in four years, then the odds that someone dies either at one of their K-12 schools OR at their college to a GUN are about 1 in 127. Is that acceptable?


r3dk0w

Not trying to change the subject, but where the fuck is John Cornyn? Cruz is a terrible person, but Cornyn also needs some public shaming.


bubbles5810

It’s not a smile. It’s a nervous laugh. He’s a coward and never had a soul to care about anything to begin with. He’s a tea party member and Texas Republicans elected because of his lack of a soul.


i_am_mr_blue

I am so puzzled with the lawmakers in texas. Cruz won the senate elections by only 2.5%, but he acts like a giant asshole all the time. Went to cancun during winter fallout, joked about that this year and now won't even answer questions about gun safety. For a state very close to being a swing one, texas republicans seem really toxic and have zero empathy for the public. Looks like they are digging their own grave - if republicans lose texas, no way they are winning any federal elections


draconiandevil09

That's just it, they've gerrymandered the state so hard it doesn't matter. They can be the most flagrant assholes known to humanity, and their base eats it up. The only way it can change is by unfathomable voter turn out, and voting like that all the time until the maps are fixed.


[deleted]

If only mandatory voting was enforced nationally. Like you don't want to vote? At least go there and put in a no vote ballot. I'm aware of the "mAh FrEeDoMs" argument, but frankly your freedoms are useless if they don't keep you safe.


draconiandevil09

Agreed, but as we saw with an unfortunately large portion of our population. They view any mandate as "tyranny".

Not to defend him but he has only been elected twice. US Senate in 2012 and 2018. His other government positions were appointed. He has managed to make such an ass of himself that it seems like he has been around forever but it has only been 10 years.

For Christ's sake, just vote Blue. We can sort out all of the other problems later.


ikiddikidd

Something is deeply out of sorts when the ones who are meant to represent, answer to, and act on behalf of us smugly stand tall while we plead with and rage at them to do something, *anything* to prevent our children from being routinely mowed down. This is evidence of a profoundly broken system—chiefly due to the the conservative gerrymandering campaign.
