During an interview with Fox News, Cruz was asked why so many Republican-held Senate seats were toss-ups this year. Cruz acknowledged the frightening environment for the GOP — “there are eight to 10 Senate races that are tied or within the margin of error” — before saying Republicansappear cursed because their party is in power

      It’s hard work so thank you. I had to find like… 8 frogs for a ritual today.

      Have you ever tried to find 8 frogs before?

      This. I’ve detested this asshole since the 80s. And there are so fucking many of us now. If the demo he was talking about were the only people that absolutely detest donnie dipstick, his numbers would be in the 90+ percent range.

      And it so ain’t.

        Same. The first time I saw the guy he just gave me that vibe. I knew he was bad news. He’s never proven me wrong.

    Looks like they seriously ran out of real arguments if they have to resort to “witchcraft” to explain why they lose.

      It also speaks to the dumbing down of our culture, and that they aren’t trying to bring us back to an earlier period of America so much as the dark ages.

        What some of them consider “The good old time”, when black people were slaves, and witches were burned, indeed. Let’s party like 1699!

      no longer content with just undoing the civil rights acts of the 1960s, maga fucks are now reaching all the way back to the 1690s.

    Republicans appear cursed because their party is in power

    No, it’s Americans who appear cursed because their party is in power.

    I will personally buy drinks or cook a meal of their choice for any transgender witches of my acquaintance that let me join them in casting a curse on Ted Cruz personally.

    So i misread the title.

    I thought he was saying the transgender witch hunt was the problem, like they went too far on their bigotry, and i was like damn, well the saying goes a broken clock is right twice a day.

    But nah, I just misread it.

    time is a flat circle. i can just hear larry nichol’s gravelly voice as he explains to alex jones how hilary clinton is in a coven with linda bloodworth-thomason doing blood magic.

    edit: adding a shoutout to my fellow wonks. remember, life is very fragile.

      LOL, was he the one always talking about how Bill was running a drug importation operation out of Arkansas’ Governor’s mansion?

      The fucking 90s were wild, JFC. And a precursor to all this shit. All that fringe shit from back then was mainstreamed by 2015…

        yes, that was ol’ larry. the 90s were wild. it’s kinda wild to me now how it all turned out. like some of what aj went on about turned out to be true except it was the people he was for who were doing it. and then there were the patriots screaming about government overreach and they’re the same people who think ice is great now.

        Ah, an artefact from a better time. I mean, the site was completly barking mad, but the times were better. You don’t seem to get that grade of insanity anymore.

          You don’t seem to get that grade of insanity anymore.

          In some ways, it’s just more normalized and hides in the corner screaming about flat earths… but yes. Time cube was definitely… special. lol

            The way things are going, a few decades from now the University of Florida will be offering PhDs in Cubism. There will be a whole department of Cubists filled with tenured faculty. They’ll somehow all understand each other and clearly engage in some form of vigorous debate amongst themselves about the finer points of cubism. But no one outside the department will have the slightest goddamn idea what they’re on about.
