... reptilian Trump waterboy Sen. Ted "Tailgunner Ted" Cruz is busy
Listen Hellboy. You talk good game when you’ve got Hollywood makeup & stuntmen. But I’ll bet $10k—to the nonpolitical charity of your choice—that you couldn’t last 5 min in the wrestling ring w/ @Jim_Jordan w/o getting pinned. You up for it? Or does your publicist say too risky? https://t.co/eRerYVe5kj— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 15, 2020
To which Ron "Hellboy" Perlman responded,
I tell you what teddy boy, since mentioning jim jordan and wrestling is... problematic, why don’t we say fuck him and just make it you & me. I’ll give 50k to Black Lives Matter and you can keep all the tax payer money you were thinking of spending. https://t.co/6QDwCaEkpv— Ron Perlman (@perlmutations) June 15, 2020
Mentioning Rep. "Gym" Jordan and wrestling is problematic all right! But it was a challenge Tailgunner Ted was quick to ooze past, just as he oozed past Trump's insults of his father and wife --
I get it, you’re rich. But, apparently, soft. You sure seem scared to wrestle Jordan (whom you keep insulting).
Can’t take the heat? Need to get a manicure? https://t.co/giLnJjZNKr— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 15, 2020
Others wade in --

David Simon speaks for us all --
I wouldn't wipe Mitch McConnell's ass with Ted Cruz. Please leave me out of this so I can get some work done. https://t.co/ZiaA053o0R— David Simon (@AoDespair) June 15, 2020

Ted Cruz has lost what little was left of his brain cells. His constituents need to pay attention and vote him out at the next possible opportunity. And bravo for Perlman calling him on his stupidity.
donnah -- he continues to get dunked every time he trots out one grievance or another. He's one of the worst things to ever happen to the Senate, by far.
