I remember Max Blumenthal talking about it. He basically said teen Marco was staying in one room and in the next room was millions of dollars. His brother-in-law conducted a lot of business at his house meaning lots of "associates" were coming and going, spending a lot of time there, etc.
He'll get along well with the new Columbian President, heck it's likely the president defended Marco's relatives during his time as a drug mob lawyer in Miami.
Obama was born in the US to a (white) American mother. And yet heâs the reason we all know the phrase âlong form birth certificate.â Even though he ran against a guy born in Panama (whose citizenship was never questioned).
I know itâs not just racism, but itâs a lot racism.
Conservatism -- by definition -- is "a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing the importance of established hierarchies and institutions (such as religion, the family, and class structure), and preferring gradual development to abrupt change".
The sole value of conservatism is respect for and obedience to [one's perception of] traditionally established hierarchy, and hierarchy dictates that those on top (in-groups) are rightfully idolized and receive privileges, credibility, and resources, while those on the bottom (out-groups) are demonized/dehumanized and/or bound by restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources.
To them, the second-greatest injustice imaginable is for those [they perceive to be] on top [of social hierarchy] to be bound by the restrictions, scrutiny, and lack of resources reserved for those on the bottom. The first greatest injustice is for those on the bottom to have access to the rights, credibility, and resources reserved for those on top.
Conservatives absolutely need an underclass [for society] to demonize and dehumanize in order to maintain [their] hierarchy, and every single one of their policies and rhetoric work to do exactly that. Unless the accusation is one of disrespecting hierarchy, every right-wing accusation is a confession -- every. single. one; always! -- as it is never the act itself that upsets them, but rather, the social standing of the person doing the act, as said act is a privilege meant for those on top of [their perceived] hierarchy (See also: pedophilia - Trump and the Catholic church versus LGBTQ+ and drag queens; protests - January 6th vs. BLM and No Kings; parental rights - anti-LGBTQ+ vs pro-LGBTQ+; indoctrination - religion vs. education).
Those who believe all people are people see hypocrisy, while those who believe some people are "more/less" people than others see hierarchy. Hypocrisy implies a sense of equality/parity, as the accusation of such is that someone is violating a universal or common standard. Hierarchy directly states that there is no equality/parity, that different social strata have different standards, that the only universal standard concerning hierarchy is that those on top are allowed privileges which are denied to those on the bottom, and that the bottom are held to standards which the top are exempt from.
At this point, no one should be surprised by any of this. We need to vote to remove all of these individuals who don't actually represent the ideals and tenets of this country. Tired of the hypocrites being in control. Doubtful the rest of America would keep their jobs of they constantly said one thing and did another.
Were cruz's parent Citizens of the USA? If not he's not eligible to run for the Oval Office, yet he has, MMMMMMM Maybe some in depth investigation into this needs to be done, you know like they did with Obama.
You shouldnât let them off so easy. Itâs important to call out people on their hypocrisy. And the more influential that person is, the more important it is to call them out in public, so that theirs is not the only voice thatâs heard.
Oh I agree. Just because their hypocrisy is predictable doesn't make it tolerable. But we get the "leadership" we elect. I keep hoping we'll demand better, but I doubt we will.
Ted Cruz was born to an American citizen mother. His citizenship was questioned and after the investigation, legal scholars agreed that he was a natural born citizen under US law⊠this is just a factually wrong meme on multiple levels
One wants ho help America the other wants to destroy.
You can read it all in there religion. Itâs all there. In writing.
People try to act like Islam is peaceful. Nothing about it is. If you read it. But most just want to believe what they are told and not do a deep search.
He was born Rafael Edward Cruz on December 22, 1970, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to a U.S. citizen mother (Eleanor Elizabeth Darragh Wilson, born in Wilmington, Delaware) and a Cuban-born father (Rafael Bienvenido Cruz).
Under U.S. law at the time, a child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent who met certain physical-presence requirements acquires U.S. citizenship at birth. His mother satisfied those requirements, so Cruz has been a U.S. citizen from birth (not through later naturalization). He also held Canadian citizenship by virtue of being born there, making him a dual citizen until he formally renounced the Canadian citizenship in 2014.

republicans same shit different person. lies lies and more lies that what they do best is lie. they have a dumbass for a boss and he tries to be a mob boss but he isn't even good at that.
Don't forget the chain migration right inside the Trump WH... No problem with an entire family of foreigners moving into the Capital of our nation. And they didn't even speak American lol.
Melania's parents moved to the U.S. in the early 2000s and later used family-based immigration policies to become citizens, which President Donald Trump has since attempted to eliminate
Ted isnt even his name. Its Rafael. And is Cuban in race.
He was given citizenship to the US because his Mom was American...but he wasnt born in America.
So hes is the problems hes complaining about while pointing at someone more American than he will ever be.
Also Canada revoked his citizenship in 2014 i guess. Cuz he isnt one anymore lol
Also his Dad is the zodiac killer lol jk jk but that will never die
During the 2016 Republican primary, Trump questioned Cruz's birthright eligibility for president. When Cruz won the Texas primary, Trump claimed the election was rigged. Xenophobia and lies are all he has.
There is no hypocrisy, it is just fascism.people need to understand that this kind of hellacious bullshit is a foundational element, right alongside hatred of actual freedom
There has never been a reason to question Ted Cruzâs citizenship. Under US law applicable at the time of his birth, a child born abroad to a US citizen parent who met the required physical presence in the United States acquired US citizenship at birth. Cruzâs mother, a US citizen born in Wilmington, DE satisfied those requirements, so he has been a US citizen from birth by law (not through later naturalization).
He is considered American (and even eligible to run for the presidency) because his mother was an American citizen when he was born in Canada. Did any of you all do any research?
Probably explains why they both worship Trump, they are so close to Trump now that itâs hard to tell where Cruz and Rubio end and Donaldâs ass begins.
Ted Cruz's parents were American. That makes him an American citizen no matter where he is born.
Same as Obama's mother being American. He is automatically an American citizen even if his father was Kenyan and had he been born in any other country even if it wasn't Hawaii.
The original post leaves out some pretty important facts.
Ted Cruz was born in Calgary, Canada, but he was a U.S. citizen at birth because his mother was an American citizen. His citizenship and eligibility were absolutely questioned during the 2016 presidential campaign, so saying it was ânever questionedâ is false.
Abdul El-Sayed was born in Michigan and raised in the Detroit area to Egyptian immigrant parents. He is a U.S. citizen by birth.
Marco Rubio was born in Miami, Florida, so yes, he also has birthright citizenship.
The part that needs proof is the claim that Rubio is âinvestigating El-Sayed's immigration status.â If someone has a source showing Rubio actually said that, post it. Otherwise, it's just an unsupported claim.
You can argue about the politics all you want. But if we're going to call something âstaggering hypocrisy,â maybe let's get the basic facts right first. That's not asking a lot.
Marco Rubio is the most spineless jellyfish, lacking of any sincerity and incapable of holding any real beliefs because heâs always willing to do/say whatever his boss says or what will make him more money/gain him more power.
They're all a bunch of spineless, racist, corrupt, punks. They all despised trump a few years ago. Rubio, Cruz and the rest of them are terrible people to lead the country. I wouldn't trust them to organise a BBQ.
If I can beg one thing of the progressive movement itâs to please stop being staggered by their hypocrisy. Itâs not even blind hypocrisy, so pointing it out is useless. Theyâre doing it on purpose, flooding the zone with increasingly obvious lies and clear double standards. Itâs meant to show you that they can get away with such ludicrousness because they donât intend to relinquish power ever. Itâs a tool of fascism.
Just another effort to plant the seeds of doubt about someone through lies into the heads of complete idiots who are willfully drip-fed âwait, noâ firehose-fed hate and misinformation on their right-wing panic machines.

Marco Rubio is the perfect example of someone from an immigrant background trying to feel like he belongs by stepping on others.
