Cheap shot: Welcome to the Goat Rodeo, Senator Cruz!

Mabel Normand, I think in the 1915 short Mabel and Fatty's Married Life, directed by Roscoe Arbuckle.

Teaser for the New York Times editorial on Senator Cruz:

Anyone familiar with how government works, or with reality in general, will find the senator’s vision for the country problematic.

Hahahahaha. It has come to our attention, Senator, that you may not be familiar with some of the more mechanical aspects of our Constitution. It is unlikely that as president you will have an opportunity to abolish the Internal Revenue Service or exercise your First Amendment freedom to prevent people you disapprove of from getting married. Perhaps you'd like to get some lessons from Foreign Minister Dr. Zarif (Ph.D. University of Denver, 1988), who has a better grasp of some of the nuances, I believe. Not to mention reality in general.
