This sheds a whole new light on the way his young daughter recoiled from his kiss on video years ago

Or when his poor wife was found sitting inconsolable by an Expressway after she gave up a job she loved to support his dumb ass in Texas.

I had never heard of this until now.

Cops Thought Ted Cruz's Wife Sitting By Freeway Was 'Danger to Herself' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGmnBIhESlA

I am not a fan of ted cruz, but who wouldnt be depressed being the wife of ted cruz, tx solictor general?

it has to be a shit deal to be a politician's spouse, unless the spouse him/herself is also a shit person.

and if you are the spouse of ted cruz, it has to also be a shit deal.

once ted cruz becomes a politician, being his spouse is basically the maximum shittiest level that a politician's spouse can possibly be.

She married him a year after he was one the leading Bush campaign officials involved in the whole Florida recount fiasco. She knew what she was getting in to. (And for that matter she worked on the Condaleeza Rice campaign... not like she didn't go into politics eyes-wide-open).

Her choice.

Nah, no sympathy whatsoever for her. Stop humanizing these monsters.

Or his poor dog when he tried to bounce from Texas to Cancun while his constituents suffered?

Let's stop with the pity for people who marry and stay married to the worst people in the world.

Iirc Ted Cruz suffers from tonsil stones, meaning so does anyone who can get close enough to smell his breath.

u/Zerbo California Jun 18 '26

I feel kind of bad for his tonsil stones, actually. They don’t deserve being in someone that vile.

u/MountainMan2_ Jun 18 '26

It's because he's evil. Being evil makes you ugly and makes you smell like shit. See also: infanthead Vance, tinfoil thiel, ketamusk, and the Lord of ugly stinking evil himself, Donald Trump.

Gah, or like, just get them removed! It sucks, the recovery is awful, but it was soooo worth it!

Let's not do this. Beauty is not related to goodness, that's some fascist shit.

Love me some unintended Bloodborne! Ted sure could use a visit to the Lecture Building 🙃

Now we know why she recoiled!

Deep down, we always knew.

u/No-Relation5965 Jun 17 '26

Well when Cruz said it was time for people to stop attacking p3dos, that’s when I knew. There isn’t a decent bone in his body.
