During an interview with Fox News, Cruz was asked why so many Republican-held Senate seats were toss-ups this year. Cruz acknowledged the frightening environment for the GOP — “there are eight to 10 Senate races that are tied or within the margin of error” — before saying Republicansappear cursed because their party is in power

      It’s hard work so thank you. I had to find like… 8 frogs for a ritual today.

      Have you ever tried to find 8 frogs before?

    So i misread the title.

    I thought he was saying the transgender witch hunt was the problem, like they went too far on their bigotry, and i was like damn, well the saying goes a broken clock is right twice a day.

    But nah, I just misread it.

    I will personally buy drinks or cook a meal of their choice for any transgender witches of my acquaintance that let me join them in casting a curse on Ted Cruz personally.

    Looks like they seriously ran out of real arguments if they have to resort to “witchcraft” to explain why they lose.

      no longer content with just undoing the civil rights acts of the 1960s, maga fucks are now reaching all the way back to the 1690s.

      It also speaks to the dumbing down of our culture, and that they aren’t trying to bring us back to an earlier period of America so much as the dark ages.

        What some of them consider “The good old time”, when black people were slaves, and witches were burned, indeed. Let’s party like 1699!

      This. I’ve detested this asshole since the 80s. And there are so fucking many of us now. If the demo he was talking about were the only people that absolutely detest donnie dipstick, his numbers would be in the 90+ percent range.

      And it so ain’t.

        Same. The first time I saw the guy he just gave me that vibe. I knew he was bad news. He’s never proven me wrong.

    Republicans appear cursed because their party is in power

    No, it’s Americans who appear cursed because their party is in power.

    Ritual Black Magick and Hermeticism require the novice to contact, explore, accept, and exhalt their most opposite sexual identity, so this has always been a thing.

    Grant Morrison has some really interesting experiences with this, but we are all some varying percentages of part male, part female, and part neither. Identifying as any one of these strongly and entirely while renouncing the others is essentially denying your soul/spirit a fair chance to develop fully in this lifetime. You don’t have to commit to anything if you don’t want to, but as a man, you can’t understand how to treat others until you’ve walked a mile in their heels, skate shoes, cowboy slippers, weighted diving boots, lacy pink booties or wooden clogs. ( I think that covers it )

        Friend, you can have them, As long as you wear them with pride and fully accept the empowerment they provide. Someday you may befriend someone who is lost, lonely, miserable, and has been wearing the same shoes for their whole lives. That’s your sign. Take them shoe shopping.
