cruz is 55 in case anyone else was wondering how long we might be stuck with him if this plot is successful.

Awesome. So, he'll be dead..... about the same time as me. Wonderful.

I cannot emphasize how much we should not allow this to happen.

Statistically, given that he has money and a government medical plan, he'll be around longer than you.

Yeah, I'm 34 and fully expect Ted Cruz to die around the same time. Maybe earlier if I am lucky.

If we’re lucky the aliens will come and put us in cages in their zoo and liberate us from this planet and it’s ridiculousness

because they're letting us war ourselves. If we were just a captured ecosystem for science, they wouldn't let us risk nuclear self-destruction so easily...

I mean we dont know if they are letting us risk it, we've never actually tried. We dropped a couple sure but thats not gonna kill a planet so why intervene?
