Is Ted Cruz a Charlatan?

[oldpink]

​FIFY...

Don't you know how it works with Trumpists/leftists?
I.e., if their guy does it, it's first either not to be believed, then treated as either unimportant or even commendable if proven true; but if it's someone they oppose, it's immediately believed and worthy of total excommunication, even before proven or disproven.

Those are some nice straw men you've got there. Would be a shame if anything happened to them.

Real tattoo or fake tattoo? Context?

I don't know the whole story, but as far as me, personally.....I can't think of any female acquaintance of mine that I am chummy enough with to get matching tattoos, fake or otherwise. It doesn't prove a roll in the hay, but most puzzles are more than 1 piece.

I'd still like to hear how your wife would feel about you getting a matching tattoo (even a temporary tatt) with one of your female co-workers.

Context. A heart tattoo that only we did? A badge everyone in the unit did?

Well you gotta admit Trump's dad isn't saying he's annointed by God or the answer to a Mormon prophecy and the savior of America and stuff

Everyone in the unit? Are you saying the other 4 alleged mistresses have the same tattoo?

Maybe. It also may be the "get out of death camp free" tattoo that those in the know all have.

You asked what my wife would say. I'm just saying it matters what the context is.

How is it a rumor if it's SITTING IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES? Are you blind?

I've never heard Cruz's Dad say that, I've seen where other people have said he has said it. I've also never heard his Dad or anyone say he is the answer to a Mormon prophecy, I have heard someone say that men like Cruz would save America.

Oh, Cruz's dad is ****ing crazy. He's said some version of Ted being some kind of chosen one.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Personally, I believe Cruz is a lizard person who has fornicated with at least 12 humanoid females and one rather surprised desert tortoise. Something something Illuminati.

That's the most sense I've seen made in this forum in years. I, for one, am extremely interested in subscribing to your newsletter.

You would be correct as far as I can tell, sir. I did further checking and all the embedded video in various articles is heavily edited and I could not find anything else. The editing makes it appear that Ted's father is claiming his son is one of the annointed kings, but without the source material one cannot say for sure and the amount of editing makes me suspicious. As for The White Horse prophecy I cannot find either Cruz saying it but only others saying it about Ted.

One should note I cannot find any instance of them denying it, either

Glenn Beck, who has been out on the road stumping for and opening for Cruz, certainly thinks he's been anointed and raised for the coming theocracy. He has also said he was the White Horse prophecy person, as recently as last week in Utah.

Here's what the conspiracists at Breitbart had to say, (since so many on the right seemingly put credit in their words).

Here's some videos of it, at the source.

As far as conservatives are concerned, probably, given that Breitbart has obviously gone all in on Trump, the non-Trumper conservatives no longer think very highly of Breitbart. They've kinda been on my ****list for awhile, but this certainly confirms they are not much more than a propaganda machine.

Not sure if you've heard of Milo Yiannopoulos... he works for Breitbart, does stuff in their Tech area... and a couple others.

He did a drunk livestream with a guy in the GamerGate/anti-SJW community. During it, he spoke candidly about why he's all-in on Trump (he calls him Daddy.)

He says it's because he'd be great for his well-being, financially. A Trump presidency would give him endless reporting material, and make him very rich.

I haven't heard him say that since, but since he was drunk at the time... maybe the truth slipped out. We've already heard it from the head at CBS and other outlets... that Trump is great for business... and not much else.

What are you hiding, Ted?

https://www.yahoo.com/politics/cruz-turns-down-fec-on-campaign-loan-disclosure-004734177.html

In a letter to the FEC this week, the treasurer of Cruz’s 2012 campaign turned down a request by agency auditors to reveal in writing “the complete terms” of two personal loans Cruz received from Goldman Sachs and Citibank — the proceeds of which, he has since acknowledged, he used to finance his upstart race for the Senate.

...

The Cruz campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But in his March 8 letter to the FEC, Bradley Knippa, the treasurer of Cruz’ 2012 campaign, offered this explanation for declining the request from FEC auditors: It is already cooperating with another arm of the agency — its enforcement division — that is conducting a separate review of the loans in response to the complaints filed by Texans for Public Justice and another advocacy group. And those reviews are conducted under strict confidentiality rules that, Knippa argued, forbid making any more information public.

Why won't you cooperate with the auditing/compliance division? Why are you slow-walking the investigation through the enforcement division?

What are you hiding, Ted?

 

[chipbennett]

Spoiler: here's what Ted's hiding: it is illegal for candidates to take out unsecured signature loans for their campaigns.

FEC Complaint Against Ted and Heidi Cruz

So, the "paperwork error" isn't the real issue. The real issue is this: if Cruz properly corrects the "paperwork error", he will be tacitly admitting to a violation of federal campaign finance laws.
