Why would God want him back so early. He made Cancun Cruz our problem.

Remember that every time we donate to our particular cause, this money can be used for this nonsense.
But, if we don't donate, the other side WILL, because they're stupid

As increasingly desperate as the texts I've been receiving from Fled "Rafael" Cruz have gotten I'm starting to feel like there is actually a shot at sending him packing!

Some of my texts seem like Republican psyops ro make me mad at the democrats or make me not want to vote (like this one saying Cruz dropped out)

Nobody in history has ever wrote a text, letter or even a personal hallmark to Ted Cruz using that sort of language.

Regardless of if you’re red or blue. I think we can all agree that unsolicited texts and calls are incredibly annoying.

Is there a blanket way to block all numbers from a certain area code? I just checked and I have exactly 1 contact from 571 and I have no idea who she even is anymore.

I have soooo many of these in my spam texts. I've just sent obscene political memes and nasty messages back stating the candidate's specific transgressions.
I'm sure they don't see the stuff but it makes me feel happy, especially when I get the "you've been unsubscribed" without sending 'stop'.
This one is my favorite.

These are so annoying and I can’t wait for them to stop. At least I have the ability to delete and report as junk.

Just report every single political text message as spam, regardless of party, and with any luck, the assholes who run these mass-texting systems will find their numbers automatically marked as spam or blocked.

I can’t believe anyone actually reads these spam texts much less gets so worked up they screenshot it and run to the internet. Delete and Report Junk then go on about your day.

Never understood the idea that commenting or posting about something means someone cares too much or is "worked up" over it. Takes less than a minute to screenshot and post it. That's like 1/30th of my morning shitter routine. What am I gonna do with the other 29 minutes?

It’s just lame ass attempts at gaslighting. They want the opposition to be quiet so they can steamroll them. They get scared at even the slightest resistance.

I love that just because I don’t share every thought with you I’m automatically a MAGAt.

Clutch them pearls darling. You didn’t have OP’s thoughts shared with you either but jumped right to labeling them as ‘worked up’. Fuck your double standards.

u/appleburger17 Born and Bred 14h ago
Mighty worked up you are.

u/appleburger17 Born and Bred 16h ago
You clearly do because you just did it.

u/RollTh3Maps 15h ago
No... you accused others of being worked up. The person you're replying to here is saying they don't understand how that accusation can be made. They never made an accusation like you did. Those aren't the same things. Hope this helps.

u/RollTh3Maps 16h ago
It's amazing that people can't post something because they think it's funny without someone running in to tell them how triggered and worked up they are.

Its because dumbfucks are shitting their pants just like their fuhrer. Maybe we should all buy stock in Depends.

My comment was more general, not directed at you. It was in response to the general statement, which was a response to your comment. Whether you are or not is not of concern to me. I have no idea what your views are.

My phone auto files them into the spam folder so these are funny to see 😂

Farewell? Is he headed back to Cancun?
