That's right. Like I said, don't expect much standing up out of Cruz no more... He's lost his starch.

It's not going to surprise me in the least if he loses his Senate seat.

Well, I got a reply

But it was an emotionally laden, lashing out make
me the issue without addressing the substance, reply

So there is that
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

...hmmm....and the topic is:  Ted Cruz endorses Donald Trump for president .....

I find this endorsement from Cruz disheartening and him backing the GOPe rather than a conservative.  Again, where was his support for DeSantis, a true conservative?

He only backed Trump after he won Iowa, and DeSantis wasn't close.   So I don't believe Cruz is choosing Trump over DeSantis as much as he believes that the primary is essentially over.   He's backing Trump because he believes Trump is better than Biden and therefore should be supported.  I don't agree, but I get it.

   In Iowa how many mesicans voted for him because they thought he was Hispanic with his vain tan as opposed to those that knew he was just a fat white guy   :shrug:

<----- Reason I will not vote for Trump is he does not stand for my values. He actively works against them the same as Biden.

Look: we all agree that Democrats are wrong about pretty much everything.

And whatever we do agree about is consumed by an orange inferno that sucks the oxygen out of every room, feeding the flames.

I don't care for a lot of things Trump does and says. But when he was President, the truth is that we were all a lot better off, in spite of his stupid antics.

So if it's him vs. Joe Bite-Me, I am going to check the "R' box and pray. A lot.

    I say a great Quote by a Founding Father years ago that espoused against the Evils of Party Politics. 
    Sadly I haven't been able to find it since. 

   It warned about these populist movements infecting the 2 party system and then it taking years to recover from said event.

Nope. I only got one, and I used it to pay my property taxes. The government giveth, and the government taketh away.

I got the check from the govt. plus that small business loan thingy that didn't have to be paid back.  I would have thought you would have done the same.  :shrug:

Nope. Just the one... I didn't qualify for business assistance as a small sole prop with no employees.
Which is fine. I don't want their money. I wanted them to let up and allow normal business and shipping so I could get parts... I was down to robbing used parts to keep folks going - buying crapped out machines to part out for hard drives and ram chips and network cards...

Did alright for a while, but my fun tickets gave out. Fixed small engines for a while that spring but the same problem applied. Couldn't get parts. Filters or rope even. So I did the same thing, buying crap and either parting it out or putting it together with other used parts and selling it. Flipped two cars and eked into summer with no money and a completely crapped out pantry...

Fishing got me by a while longer, but my body was giving out pretty bad by then, so I got to where I couldn't do anymore.
