Don’t let anyone try to convince you otherwise.
Does he really have a problem where American after American is walking up to him and saying, “Oh, woe is us, Ted! America has been raped and sullied and is now stuck on the mat! She won’t get up! She’s at the bottom of every Nation-state metric there is! There’s nowhere to go but down! We’re all gonna die! Game over, man!”
But do carry on, Ted. The late night comics are always in need of more material.
Excellent point.
A more apt comparison would be something like this:
Hint: that’s not the US on the bottom, not when it comes to the military.
Or the churches.
Or the imprisonment of our own citizens.
Or…
The fact that he’s a conservative Christian politician means that there is only one possible place his mind could have been - between America’s legs.
Or “Up against the ropes”, if you wanted to keep with the sports metaphor.
America is both people in this image.
Exactly.
Fair point.
Damn near Freudian, even.
But whatevs; you’re correct in that they’ve both said far worse.
Still that does nothing to ‘reassure’ me about the dubious way people like that seem to think.
Moving on now, as I’m not really interested in playing ‘the devil’s advocate’ with anyone today.
Says the guy who is a connoisseur of copulating with rats.
Trump is a racist idiot, but I really hate Cruz. His hard line attitude means he hasn’t accomplished anything. His whole bullshit is to undo everything Obama has done, regardless of the consequences and cut taxes and government to the bone, again without concern for the future. I’m hoping Trump wins republican and that Clinton can just tear his apart. Wish it could be Sanders but the party won’t let him in.
Since we elected a black (and ostensibly liberal, no less!) president, duh! How much lower could the US of A sink? (At least that’s been a Republican message since he got elected.)
Yes, let some of them tell it, our last POTUS has been “even worse than slavery.”
Oh, it’s a wrestling metaphor. I was thinking yoga.
And believe me, Lady Liberty wearing Lululemon yoga pants is just too weird a mental image, even for me. Although there are probably people who get off on that kind of thing.
Careful there, Ted won’t approve of that.
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Give me, give me now, give me, oh God yes yes give me the wretched refuse of your teeming shore now, I want them now, harder, faster, send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door to light a cigarette. Whoo, yeah!”
Cuba. God. Ted Cruz’s sacrifice.
