(4,606 posts)Dont know what it is. Even if he never opened his stupid, self righteous mouth, Id still want to punch him. Im non-violent, but would punch the ever loving shit out of him.

(2,350 posts)He plays the white victim card so much, you'd think that he really was the son of a guy who actually did help assassinate Kennedy (like tRump accused his dad of) and got ridiculed for his whole fucking life...in addition to being accused of being the Zodiac Killer.
I've never seen a rich white guy so personally victimized.
What in the fuck does his wife see in that guy?

(16,389 posts)It sounds so wrong. But in Cruz's case, all I can see when I look at him is a disgusting, slimy, scummy, smarmy worm disguised as a man.
But then I remember how much I KNOW enough about Ted Cruz and what a revolting piece of subhuman garbage he is. And I have to wonder if I detest that face so much because of its inherent detestability or because of what I actually know about its owner. And the answer is: Yes. To both.
I'm pretty sure I'd find that face unattractive in any case. But what's inside a person can distort the outside to a point where it's almost impossible to tell where the line is between the outer appearance and the seething, writhing core of inner evil behind it. When I look at Ted Cruz, that inner evil makes it impossible for me to even make a truly objective assessment of how ugly he is. It's too hard to see past the evil. Same thing with TFG and some others I won't take the time to mention.
When I was a little girl, my mother would often follow a compliment about my looks with the admonishment, "But renember, pretty is as pretty does." She was so right. Pretty IS as pretty does. Furthermore, ugly is as ugly does, and enough inner ugly can contort an otherwise innocuous face into a hideous reflection of that inner ugly. Once that happens, all bets are off.

(1,402 posts)It is because he is a despicable person. Who does he think he is to go after the new SC nominee? She is far more brilliant than Cruz is. They let Kavanaugh and some of the others on the SC and they (reps) are fighting about this lady.

(21,627 posts)That thieving, treacherous, elitist, racist, undemocratic, quasi-fascist element in Latin America that did so much harm to that region - and which he, Narco Rubio, and their ilk are successfully importing into the U.S. body politic.
With the GOP being the perfect vehicle for such an effort, naturally.

(81,238 posts)What have you got against pompous assholes who showboat for a living, without great knowledge, authority, credibility, or circumspection other than a deep concern for hogging the spotlight and everybody else's attention for as long as they think they can get away with doing. Sounds like the "noisy gongs and the clanging cymbals" that St. Paul wrote about when we studied his stuff in Catholic school.
