More hilarious than all the jokes in all the land is when a liberal talking point or stereotype detonates in their face. It’s not surprising that this stereotype-shattering would occur on Twitter, where so many liberal memes go to die. Though, few would have thought Ted Cruz would be the one triggering the explosion.
Politico ran a story which stated that Ted Cruz, intent on repairing frayed relationships with GOP Senators in Congress, had begun a weekly basketball game.
Specifically, the piece said that Cruz had, “started a weekly basketball game in the Russell Building, for example, and has been urging colleagues to attend.”
This prompted Deadspin, a leftist political website masquerading as a sports site, to write, “Surely some of you reading this must work on the Hill, or know someone who works on the Hill, or know someone who is secretly sleeping in the men’s locker room in the Russell Building on the Hill. Either way, if you happen to snap a few photographs—or better yet, a video—of Ted Cruz in his raw, unbridled, soup-fueled athletic form, please for the love of god send them to ashley@gizmodomedia.com.
“It’s going to be a long four years. We need this.”
When Deadspin tweeted that silly request out, they received a response from none other than Ted Cruz’s own Twitter account, which offered “proof” of the senator’s hoops prowess by tweeting a picture of Cruz look-a-like Grayson Allen of Duke.

Off your meds?
As long as he stays there. He is not a natural born citizen.
Based on your sig you don’t know what that means. Legally.
Grow up and stop attacking people on our side. The primary was over a long time ago.
Infantilism abounds on FR.
What does it mean to you?
To the founders it meant someone who was naturally an American because they could not be anything else, born here of citizen parents.
They wanted to exclude those with foreign allegiances, that would include those born outside the country and those with foreign national parents, from whom the child inherits that foreign nationality.
They never meant to include the recently deceased King of Thailand. even though he was born in Cambridge MA.
Nor did they mean to include Winston Churchill, whose mother was an American, Congress bestowed honorary citizenship on him in the 1950’s. They wouldn’t have done that if he was natural born citizen.
Children born outside this country have to apply for recognition as citizens, known as a CBRA.
When did Ted Cruz or his parents file?
Love thia!!!
“To the founders it meant someone who was naturally an American because they could not be anything else, born here of citizen parents.”
Nope. Not the legal definition.
blah blah blah
Save your hit pieces for the opposition. This isn’t the official, “attack conservatives I don’t personally like” forum. Try that some place else.
Primary is over. Grow up and get over it.
What is your definition?
Chief Justice Waite, Minor vs Happersett
The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners
Do you have a bot running that notifies you every time an article is posted that mentions Cruz, just so you can be sure to post more crap soon after the article is up?
No, but like many others on FR, I a tired of Lyn’ Ted BS so I and others are quick to reply. Good riddance to Lyn’ Ted.
Even Trump doesn’t call him Lying Ted anymore, you must have a thing for Cruz! We have 52 republican senators, we need every one of them!
Dewhurst, you have really shown your ignorance now! Dewhurst is no better than McCain!
Ted is not going anywhere! Boy you hold on to grudges don’t you!
So. I don’t care what President Trump chooses to or not to call him. I did not ask his permission to note the obvious, Lyn’ Ted is a serial liar, has never apologized for his lies, has dissed Trump, Republicans, and the American people. Lyn’ Ted has zero respect for our Constitution, for honesty, and has zero credibility. Lyn’ Ted he is and good riddance to him in 2018.
That’s it hold on to that grudge and see where it gets you! Ted will be voted in in Texas in 2018!
Maybe Dewhurst is as bad as McCain, but Dewhurst is not a Natural Born Canadian, Dewhurst is, like McCain, a veteran. He, so far as I've read, did not, like Lyn' Ted, lie and cheat his way into office.
Now, shall we get on to something more important? Like boycotting sanctuary cities?
