    The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.

    🤣🤣🤣

    I thought the 1 vote had to be the Zodiac killer Ted Cruz, but no:

    The one vote backing moratorium on state AI laws came from Thom Tillis, not Cruz.

    Did he just not get the memo, or is he that paid off?

      Wasn’t there someone else who created a bill and voted for it, but told others to vote against it?

    So what I’m hearing is this is a bill to distract from more important things and to delay.

      Not really, the entire bill is the worst thing to happen to the USA in a hundred years, Ted Cruz’s tiny portion was just so stupid that even the party of destruction disliked it.

    Why is this foreign born person still in the US? Didn’t Trump say he wanted to deport naturalized citizens? Deport Ted Rafael Edward Cruz back to Canada! Send him back!

      After all the shit you’re giving us to deal with in Canada this would be the final straw that leads to war. He’s a product of your culture and his power comes from you, he’s your creation.

        Yes everyone know’s a Canadian’s shit doesn’t stink and the country definitely doesn’t have it’s own fascism problem.

        Definitely.

          I dated a Canadian once and you’d have to wait an hour to use the bathroom after her but maybe that was because she was a vegan.

          Anyways what are those shifty Canadians up to up there?

          What’s the fascism problem you’re talking about?

            These fascist right wing bastards are being emboldened (and amplified by American conservative funding) everywhere but Canada realizes it’s dependent on immigration enough that even our right wing parties are more hesitant to go full racist so the lowest of the low here don’t have a Trump to get all enthusiastic about.

            Plus now that Trump is picking a fight they don’t feel as comfortable speaking up here with their shitty views.

            There are a handful of loud Maple MAGAs that have been continually losing elections. So yeah, there’s some of that here. However, OP is just salty that the US is a fiery shitshow and is deflecting.

            Right, because Canadians are the only victim here.

            The hypocrisy is palpable.

              Canadians are, generally speaking, taking plenty of action against Trump and the United States. Travel and purchase boycotts for instance.

              We’re not the only victims, no, but you have to clean up your own mess. When given the choice to follow you, Canadians recently chose not to.

              Instead of getting butthurt at internet comments go out into the streets

            Hey, don’t blame us for Murdoch. He’s Australian, he only bought US citizenship in his fifties in order to spread his hate better.

            … Saying that becoming American helped with that doesn’t really strengthen my case here, does it?

              Yeah this thread ended up being more hostile to regular Americans than I intended but US culture and US global hegemony are the things that attract and amplify the shitty people from around the world.

              USA is the final boss of capitalist imperialism and the people have completely lost control over the reins. It’s now a matter of when they actually say enough is enough, be it now or after Fascism runs its course and hurts millions of others around the world as well.

          Canada has its own problems for sure, but Ted Cruz’s family moved to Texas when he was 4. He’s definitely more a product of American culture than Canadian culture.

            Wow you sure know a lot about Canada. You must have been here a long time, huh? Surely your opinion is based on experience and a deep understanding of our culture. There’s no way that opinion is based on internet discourse.

            Canadians are very well aware of how we’ve treated and continue to treat Indigenous people. There’s an active movement towards reconciliation and self governance. Canadians are not ignorant of the history or the current situation. You are.
