Ted will have to fund the security guard's ticket to Cancun.
Go back under whatever rock you crawled from, pendejo.
If I thought the job were that important I would agree.
But it’s not, and if you’re so hated by the people you represent that you feel like you should be treated differently than everyone else maybe you’re in the wrong job.
They aren’t royalty.
Mr. Weasley voice, my friend. If you were a good human being, you wouldn't have worried about this. Kindly, go get fucked.
Turns out populism pitchforks are pointy on both ends of the crowd.
@MicroWave It must be soooo hard to be a white, cis male trying to travel without getting harassed. #civil_rights #TedCruz
Just strike the word security from the title and enjoy the implication.
Absolutely fcuk these righties continually trying to separate themselves from the "bourgeoisie" they hate so much.
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
This makes me uneasy. The Cancun thing makes me want to be opposed to this as well, in a general “Internet wants you to feel things” way.
But these people aren’t idiots. (Sure they victimize and weaponize useful idiots, but they themselves are very clever.) Are they planning to have politicians taken out by useful terrorists, and want to avoid passing of reasonable legislation - so they strategically propose unreasonable legislation to poison the whole idea?
It’s never as simple as a few paragraphs make it sound. I think a wait-and-form-opinions-later approach is a reasonable one.
So I'm supposed to pay for this man's private security cuz he's scared of actually facing his constituents?
Better idea: It should be illegal for politicians to hire bodyguards or be protected by police or military.
I'd prefer if Ted Cruz became the reason they get security escorts.
