Didn't Trump insult Cruz' wife personally and repeatedly?
PDH!

Yes. Among other things.

But Cruz ultimately favored his political future over his dignity.

Which is kind of funny because he used to go on and on about how he was unwavering because of God and stuff. God and the opinions of Republican voters I guess.

But, as I said, as much as Cruz sucks the Republicans can and will do worse. I never thought I would miss Rick Perry and David Dewhurst but here we are.

I don't know about repeatedly, but Trump did share a social media post comparing Melania to Cruz's wife unfavourably.

PLus, of course, the time Trump questioned whether Cruz's father (a Cuban) was involved in the Kennedy assassination. :rolleyes:

Ah well.  Back in 2016 I really didn't like Cruz, then I started to gain respect for him while he was briefly the last challenger to Trump (plus the "vote your conscience" bit), but then he threw it all away to suck up to Trump.

Quote from: Jacob on December 18, 2023, 03:24:38 PMI'm peripherally aware of the case - did Cox have an abortion performed out of state?

Yes.  Her deteriorating health forced her to leave the state hours before the TSC even handed down its ruling.

Glad to hear she had the medical attention she needed.

I recall a somewhat similar case in Ireland a few years back that ended in the death of the woman. IIRC it precipitated some legal changes in that country.

America has been falling since Lincoln took power. It's a long fall from the top, what can I say?

I wonder if the 1860 newspapers were saying America was falling too.  ah, I don't have the patience to go read back that far.

Presumably yes, since we were on the verge of a secession crisis and civil war.  ;)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

When certain types of people say you're in decline, you know you're doing alright.

Is there a context to this or is it just a completely weird non sequitur?

One of Senator Ben Cardin's staffers was filmed having sex in the Senate Hearing Chambers.  Of course the video was put online.

Bah.  They should just have let them go.  America wouldn't be falling today. :P

I don't understand why Ken and Barbie were used there.

And if we did use that 60 Billion on America I have a feeling they would bitch about that to. Socialism! Government subsidies!!

I don't think we would be any happier if they said "I have no clue why aid to Ukraine is bad except Donald told me it is."
