Link to tweet
If nothing makes you happier than seeing a politician be unwittingly owned by a constituent who completely opposes their cynical conservative agenda, todays your lucky day.
The morsel of joy you are about to see comes courtesy of Rebecca, an Austin, Texas woman who doesnt use her surname on Twitter, but goes by the handle @LazyyMillennial. Rebecca ran into one of the Senators representing her state in Congress at the Dallas airport and seized the opportunity to stage an epic photo prank that will wipe the smile off of the beaming face of Senator Raphael Ted Cruz (R-TX) once he sees the photo.
Rebecca is obviously not a fan of Senator Cruz and was fortuitously wearing the perfect message on a lanyard under her blazer when she saw Cruz and approached him to ask to take a picture with him. A last-minute opening of the jacket before the shutter snapped meant that Senator Cruz had no idea what was happening to him while he smiled and posed for the photo with what he thought was an admiring constituent.
Little did he know that Rebeccas innocent visage hid the mind of a clever trickster who managed to completely undermine the Senator without him having the slightest awareness of the message on her lanyard.

(89,244 posts)1. He looks like shit. Can you believe he is only 2 years older than Beto orourke ?
But they look like a generation apart.
The primary loss against trump must have hit him hard. And possibly losing senate now.
Not how things were supposed to be.

It is time to put him out to pasture.
Lay off munching on cheeseburgers while he sits be Felonious Don's bedside reading a child's book to that idiot (whose munching out his last cheeseburger of the night and washing it down with a Diet Coke).
