Cruz was the sole objecting senator, who claimed without evidence that Wyden’s bill could disrupt law enforcement, “such as knowing where sexual predators are living.”

    No, not those sexual predators. Not the rich ones who fight to oppress the LGBTQ+ and dark-skinned people. The sexual predators who are struggling to make ends meet. Those sexual predators. The ones that no one will miss.

    Those are the ones the GOP wants to go after. Not the ones in their own ranks.

    That's the difference between the two parties. One will kick out perverts. The other embraces them, as long as their money's good.

    Pedophile defender, Ted Cruz, doesn't want you or your children to have privacy. I wonder why...

    I read the article, but I’m missing how ONE dissenting senator was able to derail the whole thing?

    Ted Cruz blocks bill that would extend privacy protections to all Americans

    Real Headline: The American government is corrupt and compromised, top to bottom, side to side. No one gets a pass. Not from the current admin or any previous admin. You do not go into US politics on a mere government salary and exit politics a multi millionaire.

    I'm thinking some rough hewn pine is appropriate. Tire irons are usually painted and smooth. There is no point of such luxury here.

    Well of course. If he didn't, it would be anti-capitalism and therefore terrorism.

    Senate rules are embarrassing. One corrupt person can block a law that would benefit everyone in the country. The vast majority of US senators are bribed by dozens of wealthy donors.

    But one senator van jam up a bill that would hurt too.

    Given how weak and sold out the Democrats are, nothing happening is far better than what the Republicans want. That is actually what the Democrats base their entire electoral strategy on, aiming to do aiming to do nothing.

    It is extremely undemocratic.

    A single senator from a state with less population than a small city (500,000) in California can stop a law that would benefit tens of millions of people. It makes the votes of less populous states disproportionately more powerful than a vote from a large state.

    Sure, bit with so many offices captured by nazi allies and nhilistic pieces of shit, less is more right now.

    Now is the reason the system was set up like this, specifically so a minority can jam up the majority pushing through a bunch of plutovratic nazi shit.

    He's one of those politicians that I just can't understand every time they get re-elected. Like Schumer, or Graham. Voters are just the worst.

    Honestly! I was in Texas for the Snowpocalypse and I naively thought everyone had woken up to his sniveling spineless ways.

    I genuinely thought "Even if Trump wins, Texas will get Allred."

    Then November happened and I was so fucking baffled. Cruz is reportedly abhored by EVERYONE.

    I think what should happen next is that every aspect of Ted Cruz's life should be made public. When he sits at his table eating his morning cereal there should be cameramen outside livestreaming it for the world to see.

    So this means he should have no privacy too right? Hahaha oh wait right he's special.

    Protect the pedophiles, but not the privacy of the people that you yourself receive.

    Other than this, i dont understand how so many politicians around the world do not understand the importance of privacy rights? The size and number of data breaches that have been happening lately has been skyrocketing and I am genuinely baffled how anyone can think it is a good idea to force people (like they are in the UK currently) to submit very sensitive IDs like passports or driver's licenses to the governments when... yeah, the UK government had a breach very recently with tons of data leaked...

    Laws governing data privacy and corporation collection of information should have been very strictly regulated in the very early 2000s, we are fucking super late in the game.

    They do understand their importance. They understand that they have to suppress those rights to continue in power.
