Thank fuck none of that bible stuff is real, really turns your stomach thinking that ted cruz would live on somewhere else. Much better knowing when he's dead he'll be erased from existence forever. >

That's not Bible stuff that's Dante's Divina Commedia.
It's Bible fan fiction if you will. >

Hilarious to think of it as Bible fan fiction. It’s really a perfect description. >

The Bible is also fan fiction >

Fan fiction of what? 
Like if you wanna be "haha the Bible is fiction" then yeah sure fine, but we don't say Harry Potter or LotR is fan fiction. Those are the things fan fiction is derived from. >

Noah is a Mesopotamian myth predating the earliest known Jewish texts >

Yes, and Homer didn't invent the Greek gods. We don't call the Iliad fan fiction.
Like yeah Genesis, especially the bits before Abraham, is pretty clearly a collection of folk tales, but that's a small portion of one book which is itself one of 66 books that make up the Bible. >

What’s the point of all this? >

I sincerely don't think either Biden or Pence intended to retain documents that were dangerous or highly important in nature. I think though the word "classified" sounds intense, most everything is classified including past travel dates, food allergies, etc of high ranking people. The difference with trump which has now been muddied is, he stole...actually stole on purpose, boxes of top secret documents related to nuclear programs and other countries and stuff. Then when asked for them back, he refused. Then when we went in to get them, found the boxes in wide open places where there is no security. But intent is major here. >

It’s common for classified documents to be “mishandled”. It is usually an administrative penalty that is enacted.
It doesn’t become a criminal matter unless the negligence was gross. Or refusing to turn ober documents that the national archives request. Only Trump did that. >

It doesn’t seem to become a criminal matter at all apparently, since I don’t recall seeing Trump be charged with anything yet. >

You don’t really get warrants issued for inter office issues. There’s usually a crime. Whether that crime gets charged or not is another story. >

I understand that inter office issues might not usually be grounds for a warrant, but we have both gross negligence and a deliberate refusal to cooperate with the national archives request for the return of classified documents that, from what I have read, contained sensitive material that would be a threat to national security if handled improperly. They were handled improperly. Either these last two years have proved that “completely broken” is a monumentally generous way of describing our justice system, or the mishandling and improper storage of nuclear secrets and refusal to return them to the national archive is not a real criminal offense. >

The DOJ always treats Republican presidents with Kid gloves. 
Bush illegally tortured innocent afghanis in Guantanamo. 
Nixon committed theft against the DNC
Reagan illegally sold weapons to Iran and gave the money to Latin American coke dealers to help them forcibly remove a democraticaly elected government.
All of them got away with their crimes. >


"The FBI needs to search the residences of Hunter Biden and any business offices of Hunter Biden to determine if there are classified materials there," Cruz said.

Oh, Ted, Ted, Ted. >

You know how Reddit is popular for taking a meme and just beating it into the ground, scooping the remains into a pile, and then beating that pile into the ground? Conservatives seem to enjoy taken that approach with Hunter. It's god damn nauseating.
It's like, without Hillary then need something, and this seems to be the only thing they can find. >

Without Hillary and without Pelosi being speaker OR house minority leader.
If its not a strong woman they're attacking, its going to be a man who went through a traumatic loss by falling into a self-destructive lifestyle. >

Oh, shit. That's right. I'd forgotten they lost their Pelosi boogeyman too. >

One of the big things we noticed during an RV trip out west recently is that from the time you hit Texas all the way to Arizona, there is nothing but right wing media like Fox News on the local airwaves. You wonder how a well known vile, slimy, weasel hypocrite like Cruz keeps getting elected? It’s the insulation of the electorate in their right-wing media bubble. This is why republicans keep turning terms like “woke” into pejorative dog whistles. If the electorate actually had a chance to see what these republican charlatans are really about it would be game over for garbage politicians like Cruz. >


local airwaves

I still remember driving through Arkansas for work for a week, radio was on for much of it and there was an ad that kept talking about how "lean" beef is. Like they just kept repeating it again and again and again and again . >

There's only two things you need to know. 
Pence/Trump documents: nothing burger, overdue library books
Biden documents: high treason, biggest scandal ever.  
Congratulations, you've passed Fox brainwashing 101. >

Ah, you see Mike Pence is a "good man", but Joe Biden is not, because he has a differing political philosophy from Mr. Cruz. >

Typical republican,  if I do it, it's okay...you do it ...time for jail...Maybe the National Active needs to re examine their policy of record keeping. Who has what and such...??? >


Typical republican,  if I do it, it's okay...you do it ...time for jail

Yep, it's the ole' IOKIYAR (It's only OK If You Are a Republican) double-standard. If not for their double-standard Republicans would have no standards at all. >

Classified documents found in Biden’s office
“This is literally the worst thing a president has ever done, Biden should be in jail!” >

I was watching Face the Nation for a minute the other day. They had on some republican representative, asking him about it. When asked what he thought about the fact Biden was cooperating with the DOJ, his answer was that it smelled like a cover up. These guys only have one gear and it's batshit crazy. >

I think I saw that guy. The one who also was concerned about why Biden had them and who he could be showing them to? Stuff we're all told is unfair to ask about Trump? >

That's the one! >

The title should have been. "Ted Cruz is still a piece of shit."
Works every time. >

Cruz had a busy day. He also ranted that the Xbox videogame console was “woke” because they put in a new power saving option. Probably went out and bought one right after >

Even if it is considered woke (hint, it's fucking not), wouldn't energy saving be good for your energy bill? Oh wait, I forgot, I can't bring common sense and logic into it like a sane person. >

Apparently Republicans would prefer it, if Xbox ran on coal >

Rafael Edwardo(Ted) Cruz defines everything that is wrong with America today. >

“Mike Pence is a good friend so he’s pretty much innocent here.”
…okay? >

lol you weren't kidding, that's literally his reasoning. >

Make up your mind Ted. Either you can withhold judgement until the facts are in, or you cancun't. >

Newsweek is just now learning that Ted Cruz is an a-hole... >

That's my take on it too, Cruz has consistently been an invertebrate scum bag his entire career so I'm not exactly surprised that he continues the behavior. >

They are so incredibly desperate to make Hunter Biden a thing. the dude is an addict and never held a political position in government. Even Cruz's comments are literally talking about Hunter Biden over and over and over. 
Then he's asked about Pence and "well it's different... he's a good friend... he already explained it was inadvertent... its' too early right now..."
Just literally anything to deflect and he sees no problems with turning about face in literally 5 seconds. >

Hunter Biden: "...I was like, 'why are you so obsessed with me?'" >

Is it the so-called Christians in Texas that keep voting for that scumbag Cruz? >

Mindless, self absorbed goon >

So Cruz is trying to turn this into a pretext to search for "evidence" in the apparently unrelated idea that HB committed some kind of fraud and Joe was involved.  But, Pence, he's my friend, that's different.  Idiot. >

“bUt ThAtS dIfFeReNt!!!” Fuck Raphael Cruz >

Of course he did.  Fucker's a sentient dildo. >

Lol. To be fair, a dildo is far more useful than this waste of oxygen. >

Cruz is know to be a symbol of honest and integrity. He would never use a double standard or lie.
Why is this news? What else do you expect from that spineless asshole? >

This man is a cuckhold and Trump is his bull, there is no other possibility.  Based on Ted "the cuck" Cruz's logic this is factual and true because I believe it so much. >

GOP 2023: it's only a crime if they do it. >

Really ridiculous considering Pence and Biden have more in common regarding this than Biden and Trump do. >

Being absurdly hypocritical is the point. If they can get their base to lap up absurd hypocrisy, and they've been successful, it opens the gates for the spinning of bigger yarns >

The hilarious part is they all hate him anyway. >

Of course he supports Pence. He thinks he will be Pence’s VP choice. Raphael is a spineless and worthless pos. Go fix that power grid Raph! >

NOTHING that comes out of Ted Cruz’s mouth is honest.  Nothing, ever.  It is all, 100% without exception, calculated & sinister blather in pursuit in helping Ted Cruz.
The guy couldn’t even stay consistent denouncing the man who attacked his wife.
He’s a slimy pathetic moral coward loser and even much of the Right Wing base sees it since his 2024 polls are in the toilet. >

Republicans have rules that apply to them and different set of rules that apply to Democrats and Independents. Yeah, they're motherfuckers to their cores. >

Hypocrisy is literally all they have >

Classic republicans >

Ted Cruz is such a loser . 
Imagine voting for this clown >

Imagine being such a shit that Joe Walsh is able to take the moral high ground on you >

Why does anyone care what this yokel says. Cruz is very picture of a dirty, no ethics, win at any costs politician. He has all the credibility of a fox, mouth stuffed with feathers, declaring for the protection of chickens. If you voted for this clown, you need to take a hard look in the mirror and ask yourself why the guy, whose crappy policies have led to harm and death for the people he’s supposed to be representing while he’s off on vacation, is the guy that represents you? Is that who you are?  I’m not saying vote another party, just demand a better person to be your face. Because, by choosing him, you bear responsibility for his actions. >

As a broad statement, I honestly am not sure if this whole document thing is even a big deal… GoP or Dem.
I can definitely see if the documents are sold or given to other nations or corporations.
But the documents simply existing at a place of residence for a politician doesn’t seem all that controversial to me. They all likely take their work home, that’s not outside the realm of possibility.
They’re also all busy people and likely, do forget them. 
I’m being charitable and I understand the concern. But to me, all this really indicates is that politicians should have someone responsible for making sure documents end up back where they belong. Almost like an executive assistant.
I honestly don’t believe every instance of this is malicious. >

We hsve got to check this fool's house. And whatever domicile he vacays at in Cancun. >

This guy is going for the gold in mental gymnastics at the next Olympics. >

This guy has no moral compass… >

Janus >

Every thought they have about controlling someone else (subjugation) they create an exemption for themselves. This takes place while forming the thought so it's cemented in to the idea that what they're complaining about only applies to others. Therefore insulating themselves from responsibility and therefore weaponizing their own hypocrisy. Every issue, problem, thing is a nail to them and their ego tells them that they are the hammer. >

That's exactly what I would expect from Cruz. That man is nothing if not duplicitous. >

Well, the base eats it up. Any time someone can trash Biden they are ecstatic! >

Careful, Ted Cruz is very skiddish, if he senses danger or criticism he will quickly retreat to Cancun until the threat has passed. >

See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and grind my feet on somebody's couch like it's something to do? Come on. I got a little more sense than that.

I mean Democrats defend Biden after trashing Trump it's just a circle of who's turn it is that has documents. >

Ive stated this before. Anyone with half a brain knows that Pence/Biden immediately turned them over when found. Trump spent a year lying about what he had and avoided giving them back. And btw some are still missing re: empty folders.
How do you possibly equate these two scenarios? >

No kidding. >

Frustrating. People I know that backed Trump and the right had nothing to say about all of the bs during and after Trump's term, but this Biden thing and Pelosi's husband is something to talk about I guess? >

It's weird that anyone would care about these documents.  I'm sure every president or high ranking politician has taken classified documents to a place where they probably shouldn't be and kept them there for longer than necessary.   I wouldn't be surprised if there are even times where the person in question didn't even look at the documents but rather it was handled by an aide. >

Jesus Christ. Deciding which party to root for is like picking my favourite STD. >

Hypocrite you say? >

I feel like literally no one should be surprised by the shit Ted Cruz says. In fact that applies to most of the GOP. Pointing out their hypocrisy and lies is utterly meaningless. They are shameless craven opportunists. They do not feel shame. A person who lets another person accuse their father of assassinating Kennedy, and call their wife a dog, and then worship them has no fucking shame. He threw his own daughters under the bus when he tried to flee to Cancun. This man gets off on Twitter rage like McConnell does fucking over poor people. >

Another example of Turd Cruzes’ brilliant mind! >

I love how almost every article about Canadian born Rafael cruz has a little blurb about him trying to sneak down to Cancun. >

So Cruz bent the knee to Pence as well. This guy will go down on almost anyone that is repugnant. >

Ted Cruz being a hypocritical d-bag? Colour me shocked >
