Ted Cruz just killed his career
Well-known wanker, Ted Cruz, just killed any chance of being a serious Presidential hopeful in 2024.
https://amgreatness.com/2022/01/05/t...n-the-capitol/
In a nutshell Cruz called the Jan. 6 Capitol protesters "terrorists".
Cruz had already proved in 2016 he doesn't have what it takes to be on the national stage and now he showed us that he is nothing more than another Republican idiot.

It may have been a politically poor choice of words to use because those on the right that believe the election was stolen via illegal votes do not feel they are terrorists. They feel they are fighting a huge injustice. However, most of those people would probably vote for Trump in the next primary anyway, not Cruz. It's not going to hurt him with the center and center right and he's never getting a single vote from the left.
I never had a problem with the protest if you truly believed the democrats used illegal means to get enough votes to win some key battleground states. But there is a difference between protesting and confrontations with the police, entering the capital etc...
IMO, it was more of a protest that turned into a riot like we've had all over the country in the last few years for all sorts of reasons. It wasn't an insurrection.
This country has approximately 75 million gun owners and they own about 400 million guns. As far as I know, only 1 of the protestors had a gun and he didn't draw or use it. It dropped out of his pocket. If it was more than 1, it wasn't a lot more.
That's the least armed insurrection in the history of mankind.
When a million armed people show up in DC, then the media and politicians will understand what an insurrection is really like. All they have to do is keep lying, stealing, being corrupt, printing money and inflating, showing totalitarian tendencies etc.. and we may get to see a real one in our lifetimes.

solid post class. I agree with pretty much all of it.
If only the media had a shit-fit like this over all the people killed and all the businesses destroyed during the summer of 2020 "protests"

TRUMP asked for the National Guard to be deployed, as did other DC leaders.
PELOSI refused.
End of story.
I support those who participated on Jan 6, 2021.

Cruz's mother is a natural born citizen
Fellow named John McCain born in Panama
https://www.thoughtco.com/presidents...the-us-3368103
quote: T he term natural born citizen applies to the child of at least one paren t who is an American citizen. Children whose parents are American citizens are not required to be naturalized because they are natural born citizens. Therefore, they are eligible to serve as president, even if they are born in a foreign country.
Tere are eight former U.S. Presidents who were not born in the United States. George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Q. Adams, Andrew Jackson, and William Henry Harrison were all born prior to 1776, and therefore were born in British colonies.

When it was going on a year ago, I was watching and thinking, "Yeah! This is what democracy looks like!"*
*A phrase borrowed from the teachers' unions that stormed the Wisconsin state capital and made a mess of things 10 years ago.

Trump never called for the Guard. In fact he never condemned the rioters and it was only after several hours that he sent a recorded message urging them to go home. The National Guard was dispatched on orders from th e. Secretary of Defense.
PELOSI refused.
I’m having trouble interpreting this dumb statement.
Does it mean Pelosi refused to send the National Guard? She has no authority to do so. Does it mean she refused the National Guard? She never did that.
That is just false.
End of story.
Whenever you say end of story, you are lying.

You support White Supremacists, traitors and fascists. But we already knew that.

Agree that Cruz should not be President. Agree that he is a Republican idiot. Have no personal knowledge as to whether he is a wanker.

Completely different. The Wisconsin Legislature continued to meet during the teacher’s Union protests. There were no threats or violence.
