Ted Cruz saved America at 3:30 AM last night…
Citizen Free Press ^ | August 13, 2021 | Kane

Chuck Schumer brought HR1 – SR 1 to the floor around 3:30 a.m. after the Senate had concluded 15 hours of amendment votes on a $3.5 trillion budget resolution. In the dead of night, Schumer sought to pass the federal overhaul of elections by unanimous consent, according to the Houston Chronicle. Only one objection by a senator was required to stop the process. In a roughly 15-minute back-and-forth, Cruz tanked Schumer’s attempt to force the election bill through the Senate.

I agree with the Kabuki theater. Part of me believes there are honest people doing what they can; but the other half asks why are these honest people not calling them out. I think it speaks to the degree party leadership controls what actions are taken in earnest. Very disappointing overall.

Cruz has been lambasted unjustifiably and mercilessly because he has the gall to run against Trump. Even on this site.

I’m proud to say that I’m not in that camp.

Thank you Ted Cruz. Schumer’s bill is obviously unconstitutional, but that doesn’t mean anything to today’s Supreme Court.

That’s the only thing I can think of also. Teddy drew the short straw to stay up late.

Typical Leftist ploy, attempt to sneak foul crap through during the wee small hours.

Maybe Mitch should resign and become a Catholic bishop. Being spineless makes him a perfect candidate.

Everyone, please email Senator Cruz with your gratitude, and while you’re there, maybe ask him to help get a full forensic election audit in Texas.

Schumer is a shameless scheming scumbag!

3:30 AM call for unanimous consent? Even for Schumer this is a new low!

Thank God for Ted Cruz.

“My question is why was it only Teddy?”

Exactly! Where were the rest of the “stalwart” Republicans?

Lol! Can you imagine him trying to decide whether to retain or remit sins?!
