I know this may sound shallow, but the sight of him makes my flesh crawl. I don’t know how his wife can bear to be in the same room with him.

Did you ever get a dark feeling about someone? Maybe you just met them or maybe it happens when you merely see a picture of them.

That's what I get with a lot of these roaches.

It's like the very fibre of my Soul throws up red flags, blows on hazard whistles, and rings warning bells. Especially when BunkerBoy is posing for a photo and has that demonic look in his eyes.

I'm not religious but it makes me want to take a bath in holy water, know what I mean? Ewwww.

"likes Ted Cruz more than anyone else in the Senate does, and I hate Ted Cruz."

I don't know who said "You know why people take an instant dislike of Ted Cruz? It saves time."

Why be so cheap? Give everyone $1 million a day, every day, forever. And three soy lattes a day. And a foot massage.

We have a magic money tree — we should use it!


Teddie? Ya had no problems giving millionaires and billionaires that in your tax giveaways. Perhaps you should have given them more 'soy' lattes. We have yet to feel all that soy trickling down their legs.

FU.

That would be somewhere between $6 trillion and $8 trillion a year.

In fiscal year 2019, the US Government spent $4.4 trillion. (And had revenues of $3.5 trillion.)

Ted Cruz is an asswipe and his sarcasm is misplaced, but an additional huge spending program would need a realistic plan for funding.
