Full Frontal With Samantha Bee bids a fond farewell to Ted Cruz jokes

When Ted Cruz put a stop to his campaign for president, he also sent (most) Ted Cruz jokes into hiatus. Although Cruz’s fundamentalist dogma never earned him any fans over at TBS’ Full Frontal With Samantha Bee, his sudden departure has put an abrupt end to the show’s use of the Cruz thesaurus, which housed ever so many sick burns on the erstwhile candidate. Last night, host Samantha Bee bid Cruz jokes (including his campaign) a farewell, but not before firing off some hilarious parting shots.

“We walked all around this big museum. A museum is a place where you can see art or animals. This museum has stuff like Jesus and I saw a statue of somebody cutting a head. I’ve been drawing the statues but I’m not good at drawing lips, and the hands have three fingers instead of five because that’s easier. I probably shouldn’t show you this one because… I don’t want to say it. You can see their… their… their…. BUTTS.”

hony YOU CAN SEE THEIR BUTTS! lol adorable kids

i don’t know whether to be happy that a black man could be president or sad cause it didn’t change shit.

You must’ve been sleep the whole time of his presidency because President Obama changed this country for the better and I shudder to think what my life would be like had he not have two terms.

Just a few things I’ve personally gained from his presidency:
*staying on my parents insurance till I was 26
*the federal government paying half my premium when I turned 27
*My IUD being completely free so I don’t have to worry about getting pregnant for the next 3 years.
*Being able to attend my gay best friend’s wedding and it actually being legal.

He may not have achieved everything he wanted too but I will forever be grateful for the change my Black President brought to this country.

really sick of children who are obviously too fucking young to have clear memories of the Bush Administration acting like Democrats and Republicans are no different

I get it, you’ve spent 8 years of your very young life with a Democratic president.  You’re probably not old enough to have vivid memories of Katrina, the beginning of the Iraq War, and 9/11 (all things that would have been a lot less likely to happen under a Dem president – yes, even 9/11.  Bush Administration ignored intelligence warnings and also immediately dismantled the Clinton Anti-Terror apparatus – 9/11 was completely preventable), but please stop saying that stupid shit if you don’t have a life memory.

oh btw Obama also SIGNIFICANTLY expanded Pell Grants and introduced really nice education tax credits that made it possible for me to get an education.  

politics no he did not achieve everything he wanted but he got a LOT accomplished under a TERRIBLE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS stop discounting that shit president barack obama anyone who says the two parties are the same seems to be one of four things too young to remember otherwise stupid a straight white man or trying to shut down your reasonable argument
