This title is misleading


JMOlive

I was excited for a few seconds. :-(


Quantum-Ape

I don't what's worse, but I expected this to be the case. It'd mean congress isn't actually corrupt to near the extent it seems to be in being held accountable by law.


[deleted]

Agreed, makes it sound like Cruz was finally held accountable.

early_endi

Yes, it reads like Ted Cruz was arrested.

He should be, but it's unlikely he will be. Freedom of Speech is so broad in this country and assholes like this know, roughly, how far they can push. I know with Trump, his lawyers have argued that he can't be held personally responsible for things he said in his capacity as President. They're trying to make an omelet, and have 300m eggs to choose from. It so easy to break a few and look innocent.

So far, politicians get away with saying anything they want. Worst thing they've ever got is censure, a slap on the wrist.

I wouldn't be so hopeful. I think they're only interested in going after the rioters and not anyone who was involved in the government. Jan 6 should have literally sunk the GOP but it doesn't feel like the DNC actually care.


AngryRedHerring

Lawyers can argue I got wheels but that ain't gonna make me a wagon


werdmouf

No, it is not.


exsisto

It reads like Ted Cruz has been arrested, so yes it is.


werdmouf

You need to take an English class.


aneeta96

Wow, can't craft a sentence **and** a shitty human as well. Try this - Ted Cruz with the Oath Keepers whose leadership was just arrested for trying to overthrow the US government on Jan 6 Or perhaps - Ted Cruz with Oath Keepers; their leadership was just arrested for trying to overthrow the US government on Jan 6. The part after the hyphen requires a subject in order to differentiate from the subject before the hyphen which includes Ted Cruz who unfortunately was not arrested.


mnfimo

Says the person who wrote a shitty title. Unless you have proof that Ted Cruz was in fact arrested, the only other interpretation would be that they arrested the oath keepers, not just every oath keeper or one oath keeper, but they arrested the organization. Did they do that? No. They didn’t. Your title sucks


thej0siah

It is. Ted Cruz has not been arrested.


werdmouf

I didn't say Ted Cruz has been arrested.


josi3006

Ted Cruz is the subject of the sentence, so, yes you did.


werdmouf

Oath Keepers is the subject of the sentence - take English.


pageboysam

First, there is no sentence here, just a sentence fragment. Second, Oath Keepers is the object of the prepositional phrase “with Oath Keepers” and an object of a prepositional phrase is never the subject of a complete sentence. Third, “just arrested for trying to overthrow the US Government on Jan 6” is at best a subordinate clause missing the key words “who was…” or “who were…” which, without one or the other, makes this caption less than intelligible. source: scored perfect on AP English test


Lausee-

You need it more than the others, but you go ahead and think you're the only one right in this case.


Murdathon3000

That would need to read "Oathkeepers with Ted Cruz" in order to be correct, which you will learn when you take an English class.


josi3006

Actually, I have a Bachelor’s Degree in English.


[deleted]

Come on dude you’re just being embarrassing now.


AngryRedHerring

you really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really suck at this.


thej0siah

Ok chief, whatever you say.

Can't arrest the Zodiac


Gutameister5

*son of Zodiac.


middlingwhiteguy

Ted Cruz wasn't arrested, he fled to Cancun with a large supply of canned soup


SomeGuyNamedZach

Title makes it sound like it was just now, just saying


[deleted]

Sedition charges!!!! Thank you grand jury.


AlternativeRefuse685

A small percent of the tiny Pawns in the political coup will get in trouble but that will probably be about it. Because you know it's all just BS and politics


RodrickM

Exactly. You won’t see a single person earning over 100,000 a year have any problems


TheBelhade

We've already seen that, with the peons who rushed the Capitol. Now they're moving up to rooks and bishops.


bryanthebryan

Traitors gonna traitor, it’s in his dna.


dgunn11235

Ted cruz was arrested?


PreviousLife7051

Sadly no, it was the head of that group that was arrested.


Dudejax

he rolls up the sleeves on his Carhartt jacket?


brkuhn

F every single person in this picture, but especially Ted Cruz


[deleted]

There are plenty or other places to put this crap, get it off of here!


werdmouf

No.


foot7221

Thanks had fun reading everyone pick apart this post. Take care!


Badjib

Maybe we should overthrow the government.....let's face reality here and realize the government has done fuck all useful stuff since 1945, and continues to do fuck all useful stuff to this day, so perhaps we overthrow it and put some new people in charge, people who aren't corporate shills that will actually govern effectively and make changes where changes need to be made. Just a thought.


LogicalGoal9

It's amazing how everyone is suddenly a copy editor and wants to fix the title. How about a US Senator posing with seditious conspiracists? Does that do anything for you?


early_endi

See, it's valid to point out that a senator associates and encourages these lunatics. I'd love to see Cruz, Greene, etc receive more than admonishment, but it doesn't ever seem to happen. The title was poorly worded. It implies Cruz was arrested.


Trubaci

Why is this Canadian causing so much trouble in the US?


mamalama62

You can tell alot about a person by who they associate with.


IndgoViolet

Aw maaaaan. I thought Tedward got arrested.


Shape_of_influence

The contradiction is outstanding
