You're thinking of the Zodiac Killer. Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer.

[–] goldteeth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ted Cruz can be more than one thing. Don't pigeonhole Ted Cruz.

I've read online that he was the T-Rex in Jurassic Park.

You know, the goat eating one.

[–] goldteeth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You mean the one that staged an escape during a widespread power grid failure, leaving countless innocents to die while it disappeared to lavish in its tropical island paradise? Only to return, inexplicably, in the sequel, pretending all of a sudden to be the hero?

Nah, that doesn't sound like him at all!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Wait… the T-Rex was the hero in the JP2? I know it’s been a while, but… that doesn’t seem right.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wasn't it the hero in the first one as well? It saved them from the raptors.

In... Jurassic World? It saved the day against the whatever Dino X they designed.

wait... how many jurrasic parks are there?

More or less than Land Before Time at 18?

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 month ago

I think about tree fiddy. Maybe more.

[–] goldteeth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

I was under the impression it got a big hero moment in one of the new Jurassic World movies fighting some even scarier double-dog-T-rex but I'll be damned if I'm gonna take the time outta my day to watch the movies and find out.

Yeah that T-Rex ate a lawyer, he’s a global hero.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, Ted Cruz is more of a Theodore Rex.

[–] ChaosInstructor@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i heard that he was the phantom killer...

[–] Nomad@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Shitter.... He was the phantom shitter.
