Ted Cruz’s Cancun trip violates the first rule of politics

[Abby08]

Please quit feigning ignorance, it's not a good look.

She knows exactly what I'm talking about, she just won't ever admit joe is a disaster and a danger to the country.

[ripmeister]

Seriously? You're concerned about the beard when he's stolen Sean Hannity's haircut that hasn't changed since 1981?

LOL. Good point.

[ripmeister]

Yeah. Let's not worry about substance.

Lighten up a little.

[Mini Me]

And I agree, any famous or infamous person would be a burden. Let the pros and volunteers do their jobs without an entourage of SS, aides and media interrupting.

Joe better stay away from Dallas;
That's where they plugged JFK! RWNJ's!

As an example of fake claims of Trump lies- regarding the first claimed lie:

NATO head praises Trump for tough talk to member countries

he head of NATO on Sunday praised President Trump for demanding member countries pony up more money, saying Trump’s tough talk has produced “real results.”

“President Trump has been very clear. He is committed to NATO… but at the same time he has clearly stated that NATO allies need to invest more,” North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on “Fox News Sunday.”


At a NATO summit last summer, Trump demanded that members live up to their burden sharing responsibility of committing at least 2 percent of their GDP on defense spending and urged a 4 percent target.


“Now we see the results. By the end of next year, NATO allies will add $100 billion extra US dollars for defense,” Stoltenberg said. “So we see some real money and some real results, and we see that a clear message from President Trump is having an impact. NATO allies have heard the president loud and clear. And our NATO allies are stepping up. So this is good news.”

I guess this is my cue to post some of Trump's lies - understand there are so many so I'm only posting a few here.


But I think maybe the strongest -- look, NATO is ripping us off. I got the NATO countries, we're defending them, to put up $100 billion more, and the secretary of -- general of NATO, Stoltenberg -- great guy. He's my biggest fan, because NATO is going down like this, it was going down, the funding. And now it went down -- as soon as I got in, I raised $100 billion from NATO countries."
Source: Interview with Fox News's Steve Hilton
in fact: Defence spending by NATO members was not "going down" at all, let alone "like a very steep mountain," before Trump took office. It rose by 1.84 per cent in 2015 and 3.08 per cent in 2016, official NATO figures show. (It is unclear how much of the Trump-era increase is a result of Trump's hectoring of NATO leaders and how much is because of pre-planned increases. Also, the $100 billion has not yet been spent; Stoltenberg said during a White House visit that it would be a $100 billion increase by the end of 2020.)


We've created 3.9 million more jobs since Election Day -- so almost 4 million jobs -- which is unthinkable."

in fact: It is not true that nobody would have believed 3.9 million jobs could be added over this 20-month period. In the previous 20-month period, under Obama, 4.3 million jobs were added.


California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren't allowing massive amounts of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree clear to stop fire from spreading!"
Source: Twitter
in fact: California's water is not being "diverted into the Pacific Ocean." This is where the water naturally flows. Peter Gleick, a prominent water and climate expert who is president emeritus of the Pacific Institute, said on Twitter: "#Water in California rivers isn't being 'diverted' into the Pacific. It all used to flow there. What little #cawater reaches the sea now is all that's left after farms and cities have diverted most of it out of rivers."


The obstructionists: the Democrats are obstructionist. The only thing they do well, they're lousy politicians. They have horrible stupid policies. You know, let's get rid of law enforcement, let's get rid of our military."

in fact: The Democrats are not proposing to abolish law enforcement or the military.


And then it got bigger and bigger and wilder and wilder, and then we won by a lot. Don't forget it was 306 to 223; that's a lot. Remember?"

in fact: Hillary Clinton earned 232 electoral votes, not 223. This was not a one-time slip: it was the 12th time Trump said she got "223."


Manufacturing, consumer and business confidence has reached the highest level in the history of our country."

in fact: Consumer confidence is not at an all-time high, nor even a high for this century. The Conference Board consumer confidence rose to 127.4 in July. The index stood at 132.6 in November 2000.


You know what you call them, right? Suppression polls, right? Suppression. They give you phony polls so that you say, 'You know what darling? We have an election tonight. But Trump won't win because the polls are so bad. But let's go to a movie and then we'll come home and we'll watch his defeat.'"

in fact: There is no evidence that any pollster has manipulated their numbers to suppress Trump's vote.


United States Steel just announced another two plants. They're up to eight."
Source: Roundtable with inner-city pastors
in fact: Trump initially lied that U.S. Steel was opening "six" new plants, then lied that it was "seven." This was the first time he upped the lie-ante to "eight." At the time he spoke here, U.S. Steel had only announced a major development at one facility since Trump introduced his steel tariffs: it said it was restarting two shuttered blast furnaces at its plant in Granite City, Illinois. Chuck Bradford, an industry analyst who follows U.S. Steel, said he was "not aware" of the company opening any other facilities. U.S. Steel told the Washington Post: "To answer your question, we post all of our major operational announcements to our website and report them on earnings calls. Our most recent one pertained to our Granite City 'A' blast furnace restart."


You know, if you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card, you need ID. You go out and you want to buy anything, you need ID and you need your picture. In this country, the only time you don't need it in many cases is when you want to vote for a president, when you want to vote for a senator, when you want to vote for a governor or a congressman, it's crazy, it's crazy."

in fact: Americans do not need photo identification to buy groceries or to buy most other products.

Ok that's a handful out of thousands....so enjoy!

Look at this POS. What a MerFer....AOC helped his people during their crisis and he has to gall to say shi t?? Ungrateful $#@!. What goes around comes around.

Senator Ted Cruz on Friday mocked New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has raised millions for his Texas constituents, for her response to the January 6 Capitol riots.
"We are gathered in dark times," Cruz told the crowd at the CPAC in Orlando on Friday.
Cruz's CPAC address was billed as a discussion of the "Bill of Rights, Liberty, and Cancel Culture." On stage, Cruz also took aim at Senator Bernie Sanders for wearing mittens to President Joe Biden's inauguration.

He said: "We're gathered at a time where the hard left, where the socialists control the levers of government, where they control the White House, where they control every executive branch, where they control both houses of Congress. Bernie is wearing mittens, and AOC is telling us she was murdered."

Ocasio-Cortez raised millions for Texans suffering after the storms. She flew to Houston to volunteer at the Houston Food Bank with Reps. Sheila Jackson Lee and Sylvia Garcia.
