Most parents do try their best. Ted Cruz is not one of them. He’s an absentee father who publicly tried to pin the blame on his own kids when he got caught taking a vacation to Mexico during the Texas power outage. More, Ted doesn’t get to demand privacy for his family while he legislates to remove the privacy of…

Ah, she wouldn’t be Meghan if she didn’t take a suicidal teenager and make it all about her. I also never heard about this joke...and beyond the many ways it’s offensive, Jesus, it’s amazing what Republicans think is “funny”.

I think we know that Ted ISN’T trying his best. His wife has said he’s almost never around and the kids run from him when he gets home. That’s not someone trying their best at parenting.

Oh, hey, welcome back troll who always copies other people’s names thinking that it somehow hurts them. You’re not fae, are you?

I can’t speak for “parents” plurally, but I can say from personal experience having only one parent absolutely was better than having two for the simple fact the other parent was and remains a scumbag. He’s damaged his other children, those he did “raise”, so while I lacked a father figure for most of my life I was…

We aren’t stupid.

John McCain was an asshole whose only minor flirtations with integrity related to things that had personally impacted him (torture, campaign finance), and who was only a “maverick” to the extent that he could score maximum attention for himself by pretending to be one. His vaunted place in American politics is almost…

If it were some random person’s child instead of the child of one of the highest profile, most powerful people in the country? I suppose you’re right about that, but apples are also different from oranges.

If I was “Ted” Cruz’s kid I would probably want to stab myself too, no doubt. Not making a joke out of a horrific situation, Cruz is a fucking monster with inhuman views on politics and society in general, and is someone who has no morals or ethics whatsoever. He continued kissing Dump’s ring after the latter insulted…

It was all about football. They banked that Georgia’s love of football (which is insane and ridiculously overblown) would outweigh not being able to understand what their Senator was talking about. Sadly, they were almost right.

I’m solidly Team She Is Worse. Manchin has always been the same shitbag; the Dems have either had a big (or small) enough contingent that he was marginally useful, and really (without checking) would you bet money shitbags aren’t one of West Virginia’s best exports?

No one here is responsible for making this a matter of public record, and I don’t really see anyone attacking her, as opposed to Cruz.

I have a feeling Ted isn’t just playing a jerk on tv. Some of these guys I get that vibe from and they seem to have friends of all walks of life (Limbaugh and Seth Macfarlane, Ann Coulter and Bill Maher, Scalia and RBG), but most of the GOP has personally attested to disliking Ted.

Interesting he asks for the privacy he just denied for millions of American women. Screw him.

Oh now Cruz believes in health-related privacy.

Cruz has asked for privacy for his family at this time.

You’re kidding but that’s exactly what happened when she was taken to the hospital. Blood testing is part of the deal.

I feel for the daughter in many many ways. I also feel for all the people additionally injured by Senator Cruz and his ilk when they ignore similar requests for privacy.

This is 100% Ted Cruz’s fault.  He’s an evil man who spreads evil and suffering in the world.    If this was a just world Ted would lose his kids and be thrown in jail.   Anyone who is telling you to be civil to Ted Cruz about this is evil.  Ted Cruz has killed many many people with his evil policies and lies.   Ted…

I was wondering why nobody mentions Sinema anymore, she’s just as bad as Manchin. Potentially worse, at least from a personal standpoint, since she got where she is by campaigning as a leftist woman of the people, only to stab everyone in the back once she got power.
