Rules are for Democrats. :p

Hope he gets voted out next time around...he's such a dislikable person.
I've been hating on Ted Cruz since don't know when. The only Republican Senator I despise more is Josh Hawley, but it's close. There's many to choose from.

Also, why does it matter why people are helping? Let’s say AOC is doing it purely for her own glorification. Who gives a shit? She’s still helping and a system that rewards such behavior is good.
Dems have to pass purity tests for the motivation of their good deeds. On the other hand, Repubs don't even have to pass a purity test for the deeds themselves.

Well, I would be pissed if she was washing already washed pans for a photo opp.

Apparently Ted Cruz was also escorting his old college roommate down to Cancun.


Very odd that Ted Cruz would invite his friend to fly to Cancun when Ted's plan all along was to fly back eight hours after arriving! It sounds like Ted Cruz wasn't entirely honest with his old friend about how short his trip was going to be. I see no other explanation.

I believe it's been established that Teddy planned to fly back to Texas after spending ~3 days in Cancun. The blowback sent him back earlier.

Yes, but he initially insinuated that such a brief stay was always his plan.
