Cruz lost me when he let Trump cuck him and he got all serious about the wife comments.PurpleJ said:Cruz is a white latino demigod. Creep luvs it.
Cruz is too close to fundy for me. While everybody in the Tug fears the true believers on the left, they turn a blind eye to the true believers on the right. They're all crazy. -

- The State Department’s decision to close its cyber office
- The EPA’s use of a political loyalty list
- The possible participation of Cambridge Analytica’s foreign employees in US elections

Thanks for looking up the text. In my research I had a hard time finding out what was true and what was bullshit. I hadn't gone to the text yet.GrundleStiltzkin said:

Pretty much the entire thing sucks ass if you think personal liberty is a thing.
Getting the D-lO-fucking-L involved
Making lawful owners criminally liable in the event a criminal breaks into your house and steals your firearms and does criminal shit with them
You don't like firearm ownership. Fine. But don't be so willfully dumb to say the changes are minimal.
I enjoy guns. I also think there's reasonable controls we can put in place to reduce the number of innocent lives that are killed. One of them is holding gun owners accountable.(d) The prohibited person's access to the firearm was obtained
as a result of an unlawful entry, provided that the unauthorized
access or theft of the firearm is reported to a local law
enforcement agency in the jurisdiction in which the unauthorized
access or theft occurred within five days of the time the victim of
the unlawful entry knew or reasonably should have known that the
firearm had been taken.
However, the fact that "result of an unlawful entry" is written in as an exception to a law shows the intent of the authors.
I just remember the last measure in Washington, in 2014 or whenever, there was a lot of lies going on about gun possession. I remember gun nuts sitting in front of the capital after it passed handing guns back and forth trying to get police to arrest them. Of course none of that has rang true just like a lot of bullshit about this bill.
It's a good thing for people to be accountable for their guns. How many school shootings, or shootings in general, have occurred because someone took another person's gun? -

Why are you guys acting like Beto won? I didn't say anything about an upset. I asked if you still hate money in politics since your rock star outspent a serial killer and lost.insinceredawg said:
Texas votes red. Water is wet. Why are you guys acting like this was an upset?RaceBannon said:Beto outspent Ted 70 million to 33 million
Ted is a serial killer
Beto is a rock star
Ted won
By all means Beto 2020
By the way any comment from our too much money in politics crowd? Money doesn't equal wins

No. Don't worry. Spirit Horse will dispatch him in due time.Swaye said:Random election night thoughts.
I-1639 ensures I will never live in Washington again. I would have never moved back there anyway. WA hates freedom.
Fourth time in history the party with the presidency picked up seats in the Senate. YUGE win for Ol' Orange.
Narrow loss in the House ensures 2 years of total gridlock and absolute hilarity in the Tug.
Best part? The divided government shitshow that is about to unfold practically guarantees my 2020 candidate polls better than ever before. I present to you, your newly elected world ending cataclysm:
Mixed result of the night? Has to be Ted Cruz winning. I mean, Beto sucked hard, and I could never vote for him on principle (abolish ICE, free healthcare for all), but man I would have been tempted with my intense loathing of Ted Cruz. Has their ever been a more smarmy shithead than Ted Cruz? Hard to imagine. -

Texas is losing its tuff spirit when people are willingly electing a limpdick like Cruz to represent them. Everyone likes to shit on Beto for running with a nickname to get votes, but it's always seemed to work for Rafael. Karl Rove and a bunch of Connecticut carpetbaggers have been doing their best to hijack the state since the 80's and they have resoundingly succeeded. Cruz's win is the political equivalent of the 1-11 cougs.

Ted Cruz is a cancer on humanity. I say this as a lifelong conservative.

I think last night was overall a positive for the left. Take the House, plus 6 in governors iirc and lots of progressive initiatives passed. You can claim victory in the senate if you want but the democrats ran a bunch of corporate schill wannabe republicans and got waxed, I’m not taking an L on that.
All that said if the Dems stick with Pelosi any gains are negated. -
Looks like I was right, Race.
No waves. Just lots of shit talking.

If the dems that won house seats were not trying that ruse then I'll agree with your assessment
I'm looking forward to both parties having to get some results now. Not holding my breath -
