The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Cruz: “I met with the Danish Ambassador this past week. I met with the Greenlandic Ambassador, and I gotta say they were upset. they were offended. they said ‘Greenland is not for sale.’ and I laughed and I said ‘everything is for sale.’”

no, Ted. not everything is for sale. once again, every Republican accusation is actually a confession. it’s Ted Cruz who put his own shameless self up for sale in 2016.

here’s a fun thing Ted said about Donny during the 2016 primary season.

“I’m gonna tell you what I really think of Donald Trump: This man is a pathological liar. He doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth, and in a pattern that I think is straight out of a psychology textbook, his response is to accuse everybody else of lying.”

the instant that Donny won the nomination, Ted immediately rolled over and showed Dear Leader his soft underbelly.

and this was after Donny called Ted’s wife ugly, and accused Cruz’ father of being part of the JFK assassination.

is there a slimier dollop of obsequiousness in all of American politics?

did you know that if you put salt on Ted Cruz, he’ll dissolve? wait, I’m thinking of garden slugs. no wait, Ted Cruz is a garden slug.

When salt is thrown on these animals, it quickly absorbs water from their bodies, causing the destruction of cells and tissues, turning their bodies into a slimy, shapeless mass, as if they were melting.

if there’s a better description of Ted Cruz than “a slimy, shapeless mass,” I don’t know what it is.
