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?

      And how does anyone vote for something that’s 99-1 unless you happen to be the first? Some things you should make a principled stand sure, but that’s not this.

        I don’t think he’d won his election; I also think it was a local election, rather than a federal one? But, I’ll admit, I hadn’t been following his race very closely.

      So unless my math is wrong there are 100 senators. And if the only yes vote was my own lovely senator Tillis, Cruz voted against his own thing?!?

      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.

          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?

            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.

          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.
