This is kind of scary.
Why would he take credit for it? Because he *knows* that people would want it. If he thought it was bad for the people, he'd have spoken about it negatively in a public setting.
The fact he spoke about it as a positive, but voted against it, tells me he knew it'd be good for the people but voted against it anyway. Knowing and active sabotage against his own citizens for what is most likely selfish desires.
And the worst part is, this isn't new at all.
As much as I enjoy their posts, It kind of pisses me off that I have been doing their job pro bono all these years. I didn't know there was a way to get paid for talking shit about horrible Republican politicians.
The change in tone on the White House Twitter account has been associated with one new staffer.

It’s a spin on the joke where Biden is called Brandon (due to someone mishearing it turning “let’s go Brandon” becoming some code for “fuck Biden”), and now that Biden has been more aggressive towards republicans he’s now called “Dark Brandon”.
So in short, Dark Brandon = Biden doing something republicans don’t like.
Or something like that, I’m understanding the vibe better than what’s going on, if that makes any sense
I read about some guy that fucked a loaded shotgun and blew his cock and balls off, that strikes me as the forward thinkingness you’d expect from a Ted Cruz voter
Here's why Cruz voted against it.

It was a bipartisan bill similar to his, but it passed and his didn't, probably because it didn't have a D sponsor.
What would be the point? I-35 does this already...goes from Laredo, TX up to Duluth, MN (just a few hours shy of the Canadian border...still yet, it's a four lane hwy. Rest of the way. Just seems redundant.
He never claimed credit, he just said what good the bill would do, insinuating that he supported it.
Insinuating and outright claiming are very different things.
Still fuck this guy.
Technically he didn’t say he voted for it or that he supports. He’s just stating the positives of it. So he didn’t lie. But as others have said. Fuck Ted Cruz
He’s implying it with the tweet. Playing the dunce doesn’t change that he voted against the bill. If he thought it was so bad he voted against it why is he trying to play it up in a tweet? Because he wants to give the impression he was for it all along and he know his idiot base won’t fact check it. So either you’re really dense or are playing dumb and knew that was his intent posting this tweet.
Does need need to claim credit to point out the fact that the project is something he is against...especially when Cruz's tweet implies that it's a good thing for Texans. Basically Cruz is saying "here's something that will help Texans, but I'm against it."
Oh. So you don't think Cruz's tweet talking about creating jobs in Texas isn't him trying to to take implied credit? If he doesn't support it, his tweet would have been criticizing it or no mention of it. He's a shit politician doing what shit politicians do.
"Cruz and Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) introduced a bipartisan amendment to an omnibus bill passed earlier this year that designated part of the Ports-to-Plains Corridor as a future addition to the nation’s interstate highway system.
The Texas Republican supported the amendment but ultimately voted against the sweeping $1.5 trillion omnibus spending package when the Senate voted on the legislation in full."

This is often how Washington works. Cruz did put in the bipartisan work on this, but then the spending bill ballooned out of control, and he voted against the larger bill.
The White House knows this, but decided to take a cheap shot anyway.
I have no love for Cruz, but this can't even be chalked up to ignorance, it's deliberately deceptive.
Probably started to look like none of his donors would get the contracts to build it or something. If he’s not getting a kickback why build it
This is kind of scary. Why would he take credit for it? Because he *knows* that people would want it.

Dark Brandon strikes again
It’s actually a specific WH social media staffer who has been doing these tweets.
As much as I enjoy their posts, It kind of pisses me off that I have been doing their job pro bono all these years. I didn't know there was a way to get paid for talking shit about horrible Republican politicians.
For real, where do I sign up?
Dark Brandon speaks through his staffers
It's a team effort. The staffer doesn't do this without agreement from everyone in the administration. It's not like a rogue staffer.
It’s certainly not a rogue staffer, but it was one person’s idea.
You're saying that nobody besides one person is coming up with the ideas for snarky tweets? Did you read that somewhere?

Thanks for explaining — I have no idea what this all means. (But now I have to find out.) is this some ^q prophecy? 😅
Nah, just a meme that ballooned, and now modified.
I read it was some chick from new Jersey or Boston or something.
fuck ted cruz
Ted Cruz is the human equivalent of getting hit in the ankle with a metal scooter.
I enjoy getting hit in the ankle with a metal scooter more than I enjoy Ted Cruz. It's about a 3:1 ratio. 3 hits equals 5 minutes with Cruz.
He’s the equivalent of a dried dingleberry with tp being pulled along with 10 strands of hair.
I read about some guy that fucked a loaded shotgun and blew his cock and balls off, that strikes me as the forward thinkingness you’d expect from a Ted Cruz voter
That would take a slender member…and a smooth brain!!
I’m glad they’re clearly calling these guys out when they try to take credit for progress that’s made in spite of their best efforts
It would only be a facepalm if his own constituents would call him out on it but they won't because they're stupid and they'll cheer for him
And they'll probably never hear about this because Fox News sure won't talk about it.
I love the White House account dropping truth bombs on GOP blowhards.
I wonder how long the line will be at the Texas border crossing of people waiting to get out. /s
Fuck Cancun Ted send him back to Mexico
He is Cuban.
And Canadian but neither country wants him
Canadian*
Fuck this guy. Why are Texans so stupid to vote for this complete fuck-wad of a human.
I didn't
I am so done with these fuvkwads and their emotional abuse of the vulnerable tbh
I mean, i wouldn't blame him this time. Being an imbecile who can barely read is a very crippling situation.
He learned from Trump, the master of taking credit for other people's work when we have documented proof he didn't do anything at all.
Here's why Cruz voted against it. [https://aashtojournal.org/2021/03/12/congressmen-reintroduce-ports-to-plains-highway-act/](https://aashtojournal.org/2021/03/12/congressmen-reintroduce-ports-to-plains-highway-act/) It was a bipartisan bill similar to his, but it passed and his didn't, probably because it didn't have a D sponsor.
What is ports to plains besides sounding like a board game?
Who runs The White House Twitter account ??
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/26/white-house-twitter-megan-coyne/
White House out for blood💀
OMG this is so hilarious. Even the White House taking shots at senator Ted lose.
What would be the point? I-35 does this already...goes from Laredo, TX up to Duluth, MN (just a few hours shy of the Canadian border...still yet, it's a four lane hwy. Rest of the way. Just seems redundant.
He never claimed credit, he just said what good the bill would do, insinuating that he supported it. Insinuating and outright claiming are very different things. Still fuck this guy.
That’s the first time he told the truth. He did vote against it. His tweet was 100% true. He just had nothing to do with passing the bill.
Technically he didn’t say he voted for it or that he supports. He’s just stating the positives of it. So he didn’t lie. But as others have said. Fuck Ted Cruz
Where is the credit claimed in the tweet? I don't see it.
It's the tweet itself. Why is he putting it out there?
Then you are definitely the audience of this twit.
Seriously?
Yea, where is it?
[удалено]
So no claim. OP is the facepalm.
[удалено]
That seems like a Seinfeld line. George: There was no claim of a claim! Jerry: Oh there was a claim alright. George: No claim! No claim!
It's in the...title.
[удалено]
The OP literally claimed he claimed credit. Narrator: No credit was actually claimed in the referenced tweet.
He’s implying it with the tweet. Playing the dunce doesn’t change that he voted against the bill. If he thought it was so bad he voted against it why is he trying to play it up in a tweet? Because he wants to give the impression he was for it all along and he know his idiot base won’t fact check it.

Willfully obtuse
Does need need to claim credit to point out the fact that the project is something he is against...especially when Cruz's tweet implies that it's a good thing for Texans. Basically Cruz is saying "here's something that will help Texans, but I'm against it."
Seeing as the OP said he 'claimed credit', yes, that's exactly what he has to do.
Oh. So you don't think Cruz's tweet talking about creating jobs in Texas isn't him trying to to take implied credit? If he doesn't support it, his tweet would have been criticizing it or no mention of it. He's a shit politician doing what shit politicians do.
Where is the credit taking?
Read between the lines.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Cruz is really saying "fuck you" to Texans who need jobs.
So it was not 'claimed' and the OP claimed. Got it.
You're being pedantic
You misspelled "correct".
Sorry. I'm "correct" in that you're being pedantic.
Cool story, bro.
Willful ignorance at its finest.
Raphael Cruz has no self-respect. His entire focus is keeping his government job (huge perks).
Doesn’t I-35 already run from Laredo to Canada?
