I was gonna say “pinched,” but yeah.

Nice metaphor mixture there. Cornyn banjaxxed by a fence underneath a bus. AI please make a pic from this prompt!

Except for Paxton’s unrestrained criminality, there’s very little daylight between him and Cornyn.

…..or with a picket up your backside.

Excellent way to explain it 👏

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯. Cornyn had the opportunity to be a leader against the #TrumpRegime in the Republican Party but his spine melted.

Hm. Maybe there are enough Senate Republicans now to vote for the war resolution?

And also, you get splinters in both of your arse cheeks. Ouch.

When you try to straddle the fence, you know nothing about boundaries.

Cornyn also looks old and tired 🥱

He failed to do enough boot licking. Ken Paxton kissed Dumpys ass so much it's pathetic. Plus he is corrupt as hell.

We must all learn that lesson and take it to heart. Trump is a bully, self-centered corrupt demon. We must fight back with all we got.

He would peg himself on a wall if trump said to. On camera...

As the Bankruptcy King, wouldn't he understand you have to fix things and make them better to attract people? Nobody wants to stay in the country or at your hotel if its a wreck.

As a non american why is the guy that the idiot in charge supports a good thing

This is my favorite mixed metaphor ever! Picturing a bus running over a fence with idiot MAGA dudes straddling it. Bus driven by Tr*mp but he is asleep.

You end up with a picket up your end.

When you try to straddle the fence, you end up with a post up your ass.

Cornyn is in the set of people who form the majority of those who came into the situation he did in 2024. This has been true in American politics for decades if not for hundreds of years. I would say that when someone joins a group you are in who pushes values very different from yours, stop 'em.

You don't have street fences where you are?

Proven over and over again, yet they don't learn anything.

Someone needs to illustrate the surreal image in my head of someone under a literal bus while straddling a literal fence. (no AI please)

More like a fence post up the butt

Um, how is Cornyn not a bully? He’s a ReTHUGlican. He’s MAGA.

And with no ballz

The quote is: "If your are straddling the fence and your feet aren't on the ground it's going to hurt like hell" by some friend of Molly Ivins at the Texas Monthly

These metaphors are mixed.

Better analogy: when you try to straddle the fence you end up with crushed testicles... and then under the bus.

Those metaphors ain’t just mixed, that’s a cocktail… 😁

Deservedly so. Bye

That is so incredibly embarrassing

Or this (scroll to 4:00 mark): youtu.be/aONyvnzurKg?...

it is the only language they understand

Massey did fight Trump and Trump and AIPAC primaried him.

This is what happens when you are not corrupt enough for Trump!

Also, this myth of Texas being a "purple" state is just that, a myth. It's MAGA all the way. Paxton can start measuring drapes for his new Senatorial office.

True but how messed up Trump supporters dont care about anything?

When you straddle the fence you end up sitting on barbed wire. Later that day the Dr. will be asking you how your taint got that way.

Absolutely correct. I essentially wrote this to Cornyn two months ago, and received a perfunctory response about how much he supported Trump. He deserved this defeat, and Texas will benefit from his loss.

We’re talking about the Republican primary.

I was thinking “impaled”. 😱

As late as today, he was still airing commercials insisting he voted w/ Trump 90% of time. He deserved everything he got. Unfortunately, now we risk Paxton.

or end up with a fence wedgie🤠

Learnt that in school early on. Decades later I have realised bullies tended to leave me alone.

Maybe it was the hat?

I like this one!

Cornyn could have impeached Trump and didn't . Now Trump has ended his career

Indeed, it does speak volumes for me and my outlook on the MAGA cult, per what I have been saying and I must repeat it for the umpteenth time…

Well Said

Nah, his defeat was a result of Trump whining about Cornyn being disloyal after he went against Trump, and his clapping seal base did what dear leader told them to do.

He bent the knee and got kicked in the face

FAFO

It’s an uphill battle, for a democrat to win in Texas because Texas is heavily gerrymandered and the laws benefit Republicans and sex offenders this guy is also Texas preferred candidate when you take into consideration the lack of critical thinking in these new districts

When you straddle a fence you end up with getting the fence-post up your ass.

It's been working out pretty well for Ted Cruz, but to be fair his species does camouflage to hide themselves from predators.

"When you try to straddle the fence, you end up" with a fence post up your bum.

More like, “when you straddle the fence, you end up with a picket up your backside.” Cornyn got the picket.

Too bad Garland didn’t follow that advice Rather than go after the big boss bully he went after the January 6 pawns

He still has several months left, hopefully, he starts doing what Massie and Cassidy are doing, by voting against the orange buffoons agenda.

Obama also didn't learn this.

💯

Or embedded under a fence picket post.

Facts

Real talk. I don't fight, I hand out beatdowns. FAFO.

When you straddle the fence you get barbed wire where it hurts. Where the hell does the bus come in? I thought it was you straddle the double yellow line in the road expect the bus to run over you. But then in Texas only thing in the middle of the road is dead armadillos. But I digress.

Never appease a dictator. They will always up the ante.

Thank you for allowing Trump to turn you into his puppet. Now we get the opportunity to beat a real POS and make Texas a better place to live!Go Talerico!

Cornyn is still bowing down to Trump.

Seriously. Didn’t we all learn that in elementary school. Everyone has become weak and craven.

And anyone expecting him to stand up to Trump is going to disappointed. He ends his years in Congress without a spine. Quite the legacy.

Senator John Cornyn is a former judge. Trump is the type of sociopath who’ll burn down the house he’s living in just to displace everyone else in it. What matters more to Trump than self-preservation is total destruction. It is true that everything he touches dies.

When you try to straddle the fence you end up with a fence post up your ass I guess.

Same thing just happened to Chip Roy 😂🤣😂

With a picket post up your ass.

True, but better late than never.

When you try to straddle the fence, you end up with crushed nuts.

Cornyn be straddling a barbwire fence…

When you try to straddle the fence, you end up with your nuts wrapped up in barbed wire.

bsky.app/profile/auti...

I lived in TX & Cornyn did nothing but troll Texans. When the pandemic hit & food was scarce, he's posting photos on SM of the steak he was happily eating, saying COVID was a democratic hoax. I have no sympathy for that creature losing his seat. When you dance with the devil, toes get stepped on.

GOP has straddled PLUMP & it's a rough ride! They don't deserve to be government officials. They work FOR THE PEOPLE, not a wanna be king.

So Well Said👊👏😎. Please Followback

everyone gets wrapped around the axle sooner or later

*one

Some should start a write-in campaing for Cornyn...wink, wink.

Or when you straddle the fence.. you end up with a picket up your Ass!!

"When you try to straddle the fence, you end up under the bus." if the fence you are straddling.... ....happens to be near a bus route

He would have ended up under the bus anyway but at least have had his conscience intact

Game theory should be on the lips of every Dem and would have served these complicit shitbags also. If they kick you, wedge your foot up their ass.

And you confirm a cabinet who won't invoke the 25th amendment.

Somehow your mixed metaphor works! Visualizing a guy falling off the fence into the street and getting shoved under the bus. Lol

The ads he was running were pathetic; he showed video of dump praising him once upon a time. Spoke how Paxton cheated on the wife and posed with his wife…all really sad. He lost the crazies and didn’t know how to defend himself against his own votes

46% dems; 37% gop; 15% independents. The latter are specifically against gop policies. Odds are favoring a Talarico win.

Frankly, he deserves it. His ads in TX made the claim he voted w Trump 99% of the time. Maybe it shoulda been 100%?? Ha! Paxton can go suck it too. Btw.

When dealing with a bully, there's only ONE thing you can do...

When you straddle a fence, your privates get smashed to bits. One prostitute is being replaced by another prostitute. Frankly, that seems to be all republicans have to offer.

didn’t end up working well for massie

He crotched the fence.

that gets my vote as the most mixed metaphor of the week.
