Some students in America are still stuck learning from home on their computer, and one of those kids is Eric Swalwell, who got some remote learning and a remote SPANKING from Eli Lake today.
See Swalwell had a hissy fit, as he’s prone to do, over Ted Cruz. Cruz can do literally anything and send sweaty Swalwell into paroxysms of rage and jealousy. He’s still angry about being born on the island of misfit toys after all.
Because he’s truly inept and embarrassingly dumb to the point you question whether he’s literate, Swalwell’s rage-ons are always about something he has no understanding of. So Eli Lake took time out of his busy schedule to help the poor benighted tiny representative into the land of understanding.
.@tedcruz is using a longstanding prerogative of senators to get the Biden administration to enforce sanctions against Russia as Putin threatens to invade Ukraine. Leading Russiagater says he’s undermining democracy. https://t.co/2KD27vO8Sy

That generous holiday gift was rejected, of course. Swalwell used cursing to make it really tough and cool. He’s like the X-games but shorter and more into Bone China.
I am all for countering Russia (Duh). But where the hell was Cruz on countering Russia during the Trump years when, oh I don’t know, the Goddamned pipeline was built? But I don’t care what the issue is, ONE man shouldn’t bring down the senate. “Long-standing prerogative.” PLEASE https://t.co/iYJUHXItTD

What did Ted Cruz do about Russia? It’s not that we are surprised you don’t know the answer, Eric. We’re just surprised how proud you are about it. Well not surprised, exactly. Let’s call it amused. But here’s your answer:
Biden reversed Trump administration policy to enforce sanctions on Nordstream 2. Cruz wrote legislation to tighten those sanctions. Do you object to Biden’s deal with Germany to stop the sanctions enforcement? https://t.co/QE7aoiRvIS

Yeah how about that.
Swalwell then switches from quote tweeting to direct reply. You know, so fewer people who follow him would see … this:
Eli, looks like you’re answering my question with a question. Which is what people do when they don’t like the answer they have to give. And you don’t want to admit Ted Cruz didn’t do shit to stop Russia when Trump was president. Thanks for playing.

Deflecting with an accusation of deflection. Yo dawg, I heard you like projection. So I deflected and projected so I could project about deflection.
Lake just kept whooping him though.
Cruz sponsored legislation to tighten the sanctions. In 2019 he publicly pressed the Trump admin to sanction the conglomerate building the pipeline. That pressure worked and in 2020, the Trump admin began enforcing the sanctions. This summer Biden reversed that policy. https://t.co/B6emKzIPmn

“Duh” said Swalwell about wanting to counter Russia. The number of Democrats who are all for “countering Russia” is exactly zero. They were about sabotaging Trump. They couldn’t care less about “countering” anything other Trump, conservatives, and American tranquility. (All three are things Putin wants to counter, too, btw. Duh.)
Ted Cruz, of course, had the best smackdown all day, though.
Hush child.
The adults are working. https://t.co/TVgvPU9YMt

You could almost feel bad for little Eric, if he weren’t made out of toolbags.
