Ted Cruz looks like someone I wouldn't trust to sell me a used car.
I think what should happen next is that every aspect of Ted Cruz's life should be made public. When he sits at his table eating his morning cereal there should be cameramen outside livestreaming it for the world to see.
Was this before or after he said we should stop attacking pedos?
FUCK TED CRUZ!
- Party of small dicks
- But not proper fuck
  
  And use protection!
  
  With a tire iron, good enough?
40486 all lawmakers, enforcers and government officials.
Think of the pedofiles. Clutches pearls
Other than this, i dont understand how so many politicians around the world do not understand the importance of privacy rights? The size and number of data breaches that have been happening lately has been skyrocketing and I am genuinely baffled how anyone can think it is a good idea to force people (like they are in the UK currently) to submit very sensitive IDs like passports or driver's licenses to the governments when... yeah, the UK government had a breach very recently with tons of data leaked...
Laws governing data privacy and corporation collection of information should have been very strictly regulated in the very early 2000s, we are fucking super late in the game.

  They do understand their importance. They understand that they have to suppress those rights to continue in power.
  
  Additionally, they understand that a fundamental lack of privacy is great for security and ultimately, their wallets.

- You're giving off some strong "I just awakened my ChatGPT" vibes here. Raw genuine unadulterated humanity is a figment of your imagination just like the "original" tomato, both have evolved from prior iterations of it's ancestors and will continue changing in the future. Why not just aim for primordial bliss?
Well of course. If he didn't, it would be anti-capitalism and therefore terrorism.
- Terrorcommunisocialism
The only time Texans get a break from Ted Cruz is when there’s a natural disaster.
- When he goes on vacation with his family, Texans had better watch out
Senate rules are embarrassing. One corrupt person can block a law that would benefit everyone in the country. The vast majority of US senators are bribed by dozens of wealthy donors.
I hate that man, Ted Cruz.
I hate his right wing views.
- Instantaneously I get the blues
Forget that, won't someone think of the pedophiles?!
Don't worry citizen. Ted will!
Anyone in Texas know how to etch brass?
- Just need a blue sharpie
  
  I like CANCUNT
So this means he should have no privacy too right? Hahaha oh wait right he's special.
Data brokers make a shit ton of money.... No surprise they got to someone to block this
Technofash: Cha Ching!
I hate this so much. Special people get special treatment - everyone else can just get fucked, I guess.
More like red hot metal rod
