Ted Cruz defends Trump, claims no one outside DC cares about the Mueller probe - Polidicks

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna958131 WASHINGTON — Sen. Ted Cruz defended President Donald Trump Sunday amid reports that are raising new questions about the president's relationship with Russia, insisting that T rump's record shows he has been "tougher" on the U.S. adversary than past presidents. When asked about The New York Times report that broke Friday — which says Trump's firing of former FBI Director James Comey triggered a counterintelligence investigation into whether the president was wittingly or unwittingly working to benefit Russia — the Texas Republican said the focus on special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation is a Washington-centric fascination. "When you get outside the Beltway, I don't see anyone concerned about this at all," he said. "If you compare objectively, President Trump's policies to Russia compared to President Obama's policies to Russia — by any measure, President Obama was much easier, was much more gentler on Russia," Cruz said. On Saturday, The Washington Post reported that Trump personally intervened to hide readouts of meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The White House also panned that report, pointing to new sanctions on Russia as proof the administration is being tough on the adversary. Now that Democrats control the House, it's possible that committees may look into the details of either story. Cruz, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he'd "consider any allegations" as part of his roles on the committee.

punished cruz

hilarious

The new gaslighting from the GOP about how Obama was totally weak on Russia and Trump is the strongman is so pathetic.

you can tell he grew the beard because an intern suggested it to him as a way of making him look tougher and more rugged but all it's done is make him look like a fat ra's al-ghul from batman anyway i can't imagine how hard it must be to be Ted Cruz, having to survive as a man without a functioning dick or a spine. Still defending the man who insulted your entire family, jeez

that beard makes cruz look like a slightly rushed player character from fallout 3

Well I'm from New York and I say kill'em all

I think the beard actually makes him look better, which is a low bar for a man that looks like a blobfish

I only just looked this up now. I was imagining him as an orc from shadow of mordor that you humiliated and made into a vassal.

I mean, no one outside DC and Moscow are afraid of the probe, so in that sense it could work.

As your resident Venom snake 'shopping specialist it's 1AM in the morning and this is the best I could do (also holy lowres batman): https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/109874/811c3a7c-a591-47eb-b4e7-93f4ee3ac729/tedcruzvenom.png

Ted Cruz is the ultimate cuck and I hope he drowns in acid

TIL i'm in DC.

First Alex Jones, now Cruz, what's with the beards... Is this some anti-PC hogwash again.

Cruz isn't even liked by natural born texans which is ironic because his whole shtick is that real texans don't share any of these liberal pansy views.

at least with a beard he doesn't have the whole 'unsettling greasy mannequin' thing going on

Now he just looks like a goblin that tried to grow a beard.

He looks like Geralt's deadbeat drunk dad.

That beard kind of looks fake.

He's just a milquetoast coward. Texans hate cowards, I've noted. The irony is he's trying to say 'I'm not like all these other pansies and stick by my traditional beliefs' as he slavishly goes to town on the Dear Leader who just got done insulting his family, his legacy, his position, and even the state he represents in general. The only people who've actually given it a think that like Ted Cruz like Ted Cruz because he's a cuck; rather than in spite of him being a cuck. They want their President to have a useful 'warm and receptive place' to stick his dictatorial policies and Real Human Ted Cruz is a famously and now historically receptive place to stick even the most disgusting and divisive views. Literally even Cruz's children don't want to be near Cruz - we see it every time he brings them out as props. None of them want to be there; none of them especially want to help him out in any genuine manner which he plays off as 'teenage rebellion am i right guys'. The more Cruz calls himself out as a 'real texan' the more he shows he ain't one; I half-expect him next to come riding in (nearly falling off besides or going at a frightened and depressed trot) to town on his re-election bid wearing a full cow-leather (white cow leather) six gallon hat (who am I kidding he'll embarrass himself with a ten gallon but it's my mental fallacy and so I get to turn the knobs down a bit) on some pony whose legs are wobbling the whole time, mouth frothing in nervous anxiety, because Cruz keeps pulling back on its reigns while pounding its flanks with his cleats, whooping and hollering. In Cruz's mind, this is what Texas is. A cheap, manufactured, product with a bunch of over-sized, brightly-colored, buttons you press on it labeled 'yee haw' and 'real values' and 'horse-noises' -- and whomever holds that thing and mashes those buttons the fastest and hardest is the most Texas-Texan there ever Texan'd. Or, visually-speaking: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/133737/00dd621e-6c20-453a-8203-e30d5545c771/image.png

That was beautiful to read, thank you.

My great-grandma used to say that if you knocked the shit and wind out of a Texan, you could bury him in a match-box.

When "owning the libruls" takes priority over your countries sovereignty.

Cruz is such a limp dick little bitch even by politician standards. Here he is earnestly spreading bullshit at the behest (and in defence) of the turd that spent the primaries insulting him and his family. Are you just going to forget that Trump called your wife an ugly nutcase Cruz? Or how about claiming your dad was involved in killing JFK? Have some fucking pride man.

so you're expecting him to go full Roy Moore when he has to face re-election in 2022?

I'm expecting worse than Roy Moore. Roy Moore at least had a little humility (though difficult to find). I expect Cruz to walk down the street on his horse literally flanked by 'Cowboys by way of Kurt Russel's Wyatt Earp' who have for no reason discernible also come to this parade with rope on their belts and cleats on their boots despite there not being a horse for them in sight. I expect that he'll hop off his horse at a predesignated watering hole for the thing to take a big cast iron spoon out from a pot of boiling chili while holding his hand up to the cameras and taking a big ol bite of the not-even-slightly-disguised-literally-Wolf-Brand-Chili (which is a fine chili for something that comes out of a can but that's besides the point). I expect he'll have in his goat-leather pistol holders a few rolled up applications for the NRA which he'll hand off to kids with a wink and a grin. I expect him to place his thumbs on his belt loops next to his pistol-holders and, after clearing his throat, simply state in a flat, monotone, delivery: 'Y'all' -- and then pause for like six seconds as if he just reached peak-Texan and wanted the news to recognize that fact before he proceeded with his speech where he endorses nothing and slowly verbally hogties himself while getting his fake cowboys to brand him as Trump Ranch Property while he screams about how independent he is, and how tall he walks. Roy Moore wanted to be a Cowboy. Ted Cruz wants to be more Texan than Texas ever was - it's the only selling point he's left himself at this point. Unfortunately, he fails to realize that makes him a Rodeo Clown.

Just a quick reminder that former Republican House Speaker John Boehner described him as "Lucifer in the flesh". Lindsey Graham, renowned shitstain, said: "If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you." Even Republicans can't fucking stand Ted Cruz.
