It’s OK as long as you make the tortillas your self.

Until we find out that money was already used fr a thousand different things, we don’t control it yet, some of it is in foreign jurisdictions, it is LAWFULLY targeted for other purposes.

Ted’s looking for attention. Always running for pres now.

WE HAVE A MAJORITY!!! AND YOU PEOPLE THINK WE NEED THESE BS ANTICS?

If we do, then we’re more ####ed than I thought.

Pathological Cruz-hate warps the mind and blinds its victims to reality.

Unless you’re too lazy, you’ll find I was a HUGE an of ted.

But if that makes you sleep better, along with your teddy bear, :), go ahead and believe it.

Last week a had pathological Trump hate.

No, it’s called independent thinking.

Some of you, including you, scare me in your fascist way of going insane when hearing something that is likely true.

But you know where the money is or how it can be used i’m sure.

That was sarcasm :)

Nonsense. You wrote:

"If we do, then we’re more ####ed than I thought."

Wake up and smell the sewage. We're 'way more "####ed" than you "think", and it's not Ted Cruz doing the "####ing". Our opponents are people like Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan. Our enemies are people like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. Our friends are people like Ted Cruz and the House Freedom Caucus, and we have damn few of them. ####ting on them is foolish (at best).

What you're doing isn't "independent thinking"; it isn't "thinking" at all.

Wait, so Ted Cruz is fighting harder for the wall than Trump?

Sad.

“All proceeds from the movie The Three Amigos would go to building the wall”

That takes care of the first 20 bucks.

So does this money otherwise just go into the US Treasury?

La Rama had nothing to do with Cinco de Mayo.

It WAS created by the Gambrinas Importing Company in Texas. Gambrinas was, at the time, owned by a Jewish family in Texas whose roots in Texas date back before the Texas Revolution.

Terrific idea!!! We should also charge Mexican & other “foreign” citizens crossing the border every day a $5.00 entry and $5.00 exit fee daily!!!

The entry/exit fee can be dropped when the Mexican government stops illegal immigration and drug/human traffic!!! Otherwise charge them for all eternity!!!

By the way Ted Cruz......thanks for proving there is more then one way to skin the cat!!!

So Ted writes a bill....and I'd say it's going nowhere.

Why would you say that? What is your reasoning?

Here’s the only problem with the bill Sen. Cruz introduced -— WHERE’s THE MONEY?

I believe those assets are scattered around in various countries in the region, and that most are in Mexico. But Mexico, being basically a narcocracy with a weak central government, lacks the forfeiture laws strong enough to collect them. Of course their government is demanding rights to all El Chapo assets.

It’s not as simple as it sounds.

First of all....This is not a new idea. Trump mentioned the same during his campaign.

Second....I don't see House or Congressional members jumping on this Merry Go Round.

Third....It's the President's prerogative not Ted' to make the call.

In other words, Ted is trying to stay relevant in Texas....nothing more.

And many Cruz-hating FReepers, whose mushy minds were poisoned against him during the primary.
