Ted Cruz, in my opinion, is saber rattling again.

[block quote]Ted Cruz Says Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama Could Be Impeached Next
BY JEFFERY MARTIN ON 1/27/21 AT 12:29 AM EST

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz suggested during a Fox News appearance that former presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama could be impeached like former President Donald Trump.

Trump, the only president to be impeached twice, is expected to face trial in the U.S. Senate in February. Trump was impeached in January after allegedly inciting a riot at the U.S. Capitol building. Trump was previously impeached in December 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of justice. Trump was acquitted of both charges by the Senate. Cruz told Fox News host Sean Hannity that the Democrats' perceived urgency in impeaching Trump was an "exercise in political rage."

"They hate Donald Trump," Cruz said. "For anybody who hadn't been paying attention, they made it very very clear. Look, these are the same Democrats who 4 years ago in 2017—actually, in December of 2016 before Trump was sworn in—said they wanted to impeach him. They've wanted to impeach him from the beginning. They did it a year ago."

or anything else, so his effectiveness in the Congress has been shot to hell. All he has left is his loud mouthed comments and ignorant comments.

Trump was still president when he was impeached. Funny how he leaves that part out.

Because getting impeached while still in office and getting impeached 40 years later are exactly the same thing. Idiot.

He knows he's full of shit. What's mind-boggling is that his supporters are too stupid, gullible, and/or ignorant to see through it.

We will need a full court press when he's up for re-election. Just like we did in Georgia.

Harvard School of Law, for cryin' out loud!

He is not simply mistaken. He KNOWS that what he is saying about impeaching all the former Democratic presidents is not only false, it is transparently nonsensical.

That makes him someone decent people would not knowingly share a park bench with, let alone vote for.

Would be for him to permanently leave this earth. Only bad things will come from his continued existence.
