1. It’s stupid.

2. It was approved under Obama, hope that helps.

No it doesn’t help.  The point being that both of these parties are filled with people cut from the same cloth.  Whether it’s some democrat claiming he’s for the Everyman, or some “outsider” like Trump (lol), none have the interest of the American people at heart.

You’re not wrong but your example falls flat when it was approved during a different admin than the one you claimed.

Yup

Yup

I thought so.  You’re a pretty literal guy, and I work with a lot of engineers.  They’re generally very literal as well.  

My original point wasn’t to make too fine a distinction on who approved what.  Wasteful government spending is added to by every president - certainly Obama and certainly Trump ( despite his popular appeal as an “outsider”).  The result are things like billion dollar embassies in podunk countries.  Smells like empire building.

Surely he has something more important going on in his state.

I don't think advertising campaigns is something ANY politician should be commenting on, unless it's something extremely offensive like Hitler kicking puppies.

But wait....I looked at you screenshot and thought "well, maybe he's just responding to a question".  But then I read the chiron and it sounded fake to me.  Sadly, it is not.

Cruz has said some dumb shit before, but that has got to be up there.

Assuming this is true and not photoshopped…

I looked into it and it’s not looking into ties with Mulvaney it’s that alcohol companies are regulated to advertising in areas that are at least a certain percentage above the legal drinking age.

Can advertise in the NFL, but not college campus.

The argument is that TikTok in general, specifically Mulvaney’s viewer demographics, are mostly under the age of 24. If Bud Light advertised on Mulvaney’s tiktok account (no idea if they did) it could have broken that regulation.

Sounds stupid, probably is stupid, but I “understand”…kind of.

Even with the age of 24, that's still very nanny-ish. Eighteen yrs old to see a commercial or ad is quite old enough. This is dipping into the "muh vidya games make mass murderers!" zone.

More like the Republican version of suing a baker for not making a gay cake.

Things in Texas must be pretty squared away.  Thanks for fighting for us Ted.

I do not disagree, just stating what they were going after, it wasn’t really going after Mulvaney

Agreed

Compare and contrast: Ron DeSantis signed a bill that mandates the inclusion of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) history in the state’s K-12 curriculum. The same Ron DeSantis who banned African American studies class from Florida high schools. pic.twitter.com/xGcwfzWeIj

Let's see if Gblock is astute enough to understand the subtle difference in what he posted below...

Lol knew you’d fall for the lib propoganda. A simple google search shows they were never going to build that complex because Iger didn’t want it. Also in your article: “ He noted that $17 billion was still earmarked for construction at Disney World over the next decade — growth that would create an estimated 13,000 jobs. “I hope we’re able to,” he said.”

LOL.  I saw some leftwingers circle jerking over that the other day but I didn't pay much attention because I couldn't care less.  But that's pretty funny.

I don't approve of some of Desantis' trolling, but I'd say I probably agree with 80% of what he says.  When you actually hear him explain his policies that obliterates the sort of bullshit Gblock posts, you realize he's a very strong candidate.

A lot of stuff going on and constantly being drummed by the usual suspects would make you forget we elected Obama 15 years ago.  And maybe that's the point...

Lol man that really peoples feelings

Makes perfect sense.  Learning history of other nations is great, as is learning the (true) history of our own.  Many of the people who flee to the U.S. do so to escape socialist/Marxist regimes.  DEI is an element of cultural Marxism. The people forcing it on us are radical leftists.  It has no place on campus, or anywhere in the U.S.  Same with ESG in the corporate world.  The better educated you/we are regarding why people flee to the U.S., the better equipped we should be to lead the fight against socialism/Marxism and the horrors that go with it.  Buckle up, as we're on the collision course.

this could be an SNL skit

Fox News continues to demonize legal marijuana. In this segment a doctor claims that even marijuana sold in dispensaries might be laced with Fentanyl. Most dispensaries have tight control over their products some grow the marijuana in the same location it's sold. pic.twitter.com/HQi81DSlqu

Everything about the "he blocked an African American Studies class" has been debunked already. You really should stop parrotting lies.
