a tenet is a philosophical axiom. a tenant is a resident of a particular property

But, one thing he has remained consistent about is defense of free speech.

This is giving him too much credit considering he voted for Carr to lead the FCC in the first place. The one thing Cruz has remained consistent on is knowing how to improve his own reputation by saying something reasonable sounding every so often, but in terms of his actions he's a party apparatchik and total piece of shit.

In 8 yearsnI fear we'll look at the Cruizes like we look at Mitt these days.

Ted cruz is a rare politician who is in politics because he fights for his convictions and wants to advocate for them

Now his convictions are dogshit, and he does nothing but harm, but it does mean he's a breath of fresh air compared to his compatriots

Behold, Schrödinger's shit sandwich. Now, a shit sandwich is when you take something shitty, and bracket it with two nice things. If you've heard of this before, you've probably talked to management, or more clearly, heard someone vent about talking to management. If you haven't, well, good on you for avoiding the notice of management.

Now, what could a Schrödinger's shit sandwich be? Well, it would have to be something that somehow both follows and rebels against that definition above. So let's take the quote.

Ted Cruz is a piece of shit.

Ted Cruz defends free speech from government overreach.

Ted Cruz is a piece of shit.

So this could be represented as:

We're making fun of Ted Cruz.

We're agreeing with Ted Cruz!

We're making fun of Ted Cruz some more.

Yep, that looks like a classic shit sandwich, alright. But! Could it not also be:

You're thinking of Ted Cruz.

Someone is defending free speech from government overreach.

Ugh! And now there's more Ted Cruz.

Well, fuck me if that isn't a reverse shit sandwich! So which is it. A shit sandwich? A reverse shit sandwich? Both at the same time‽ Schrödinger's Shit Sandwich!

But you can only be sure which one it is by taking that bite.

Yep, election is coming.

Nah he just likes being a dick to people. Stopped clock, etc.

Damage control for midterms

1. The "Veejay" of a clip show of shortened airline-food standup sets.

I got that the latter two were Jimmy Kimmel and John Oliver. You lost me on this one.

Edit: Also, don't forget 4. The man so good at satire that he simultaneously convinced stupid right wingers he represented them and only slightly less stupid left wingers that satirizing the right meant that he actually represented them until he got a new non-satire show and turns out he's just a left leaning centrist with an expert level knowledge of The Lord Of The Rings lore, but still calls a fascist a fascist.

I get your point but I do think it's a little reductive to gloss over the fact that Oliver and Stewart have done an actually-good job of covering news all these years.

its the time of the month with rafael cruz needs to shed his lizard skin.

In all other things, sure. But I won't stick my nose up at an otherwise spineless person growing a small degree of structural fibrous cartilage against the Trump administration.

After he stonewalls the FCC, then he can go fuck himself for everything else. Unless this amounts to no more than political posturing, in which case he is free to start at his earliest convenience.

No, he's agreeing with you

Truly unprecedented times.

After agreeing with Tucker Carlson on a few things, agreeing with Ted Cruz is still painful

This!!!!

“Ted” is rat zero

If he is jumping, the sinking is imminent.

Just remember: you're not agreeing with Raphael Cruz, he's agreeing with you.

Ted is likely positioning himself for another presidential run in 2028. Part of that involves making statements that are broadly popular. "The government shouldn't censor speech" is about the most non-controversial thing he could possibly say.

Just remember: you're not agreeing with Raphael Cruz, he's agreeing with you.

Look I'm no fan of Ted, I don't like his politics and think he's a shitty human. However, he is a perfect example of a human fish monster.

Ted Cruz is full of shit

more to the point why do Texas voters keep reelecting him ? I guess they feel he's the best person for the job!

I do not like that man, Ted Cruz

I do not like him reading the news

I do not like his sorry stick

And while he's right this time,

He can suck my dick

Nobody likes Ted stop persecuting pedophiles Israel first cruz

beat me to it :)

I think he just blurted out a random sequence of noises that coincidentally made sense

I think one of his victims' washed ashore in Cancun last winter. He probably nabbed it before the cops arrived for forensics

Another impeachment isn't going to do shit. Removal is the only way.
