We are offering $750 apiece to hurricane victims in need while we send money to foreign countries by the billions. That is what you get when you vote Democrat.
An actual sitting senator!
This is the heart of the MAGA movement. Itâs not about Trump, itâs about returning to systemic and institutional racism and discrimination. Trump is just the useful idiot to make it happen.

That is true and absolutely blows my mind. I guess Iâm a naive child of the 1990s, but I always thought it was generally accepted that democracy is good, racism is bad, and genocide is intolerable. But then I look around at the world and wonder.

MTG has stated as an obvious truth that Democrats can form and direct hurricanes at will.
Damn! I didnât think it was obvious.

Thatâs easy. We all can control the weather. For example, just last week, when we had a southerly wind in Vermont, it was a little too warm for me, soI put on a fan that redirected the wind. I have mad weather control skilzâŚ

Trump is the Trojan Horse to get JD Vance through the gate.

This is absolutely abhorrent.
They campaign on the âfailedâ federal government response, while failing to respond as the federal government.

It sure would be nice if the Democrats would go on the offensive on this. Explain how government programs are funded, impress on everyone that FEMA disaster funds and migrant housing funds are separate funds and blast away at all those who oppose disaster relief funding. Why they donât wring the necks of all the ignorant fucks who have swindled the public on this issue is troubling.

Karine Jean-Pierre has no interest in filling Doocyâs spank bank; just a fact-punch to the nose and a sharp exit with no fucks to give.
Because Iâm a watch enthusiast, I was wondering when some people would get around to evaluating the $100,000 Trump watch. As expected, just from a watch standpoint, they are cheap made-in-China junk, that would be worth a maximum of $200. Of course, the reality is in the fine print, which makes it clear that like the NFT and the Trump sneakers, this is just money laundering for foreigners, probably mostly Russian, to illegally give the GOP $15 million in untraceable funds. The funny part, if there is one, is that the address of the company allegedly making these watches actually houses a company that makes snake oil for erectile dysfunction. Trump is the Trojan horse, indeed.

I donât know if heâs in on the deal or just a patsy, but the Russians, Saudis and tech billionaires are creating ways to pump money into his pocket so that they can get their boy Vance into the VP slot.
Trump has to become president to avoid dying in jail, so heâs likely to go along with anything that helps that, especially if he gets money too.
But heâll step down or be removed almost immediately if elected. That way Vance can pardon him and the oligarchs all get what they want: a puppet who will implement Project 2025.

This is so brutal because itâs so true.
I donât normally pay too much attention to the LP guys because theyâre still the trolls they always were when promoting right-wing candidates and, even though theyâve turned their 90s era trolling talents against Trump, their âadsâ are still mostly uninteresting trolling.
But this ad should be played to every girl dad who is planning to vote for Trump.
ETA: SCOTUS just declined to hear the suit by the Biden administration try to overturn Texasâ waiver of the requirement to treat emergency cases when the case in question is a pregnant woman suffering a miscarriage.
There has been a dramatic shift in registered voters in Texas from rural areas to the cities.
This should terrify Cruz, Trump and Abbot.
I see this differently. Yeah, itâs a drop in rural voters, from either death or migration, and of course, the death factor should hurt Cruz. But the other shift looks more like folks moving from central cities to outlying areas with maybe a bit of rural to suburban movement. In other words, could be the same people, just moving around.
The most important factor, not portrayed in this map is âWho are the new voters in Texas?â Conservatives moving in from other areas, young voters coming of age, or maybe less conservative voters coming from other areas?

Yeah, there are a lot of underlying factors at play here. For example, Texas has just under 400,000 high school graduates a year, with a graduation rate of over 90%, so letâs just say that there are 400,000 kids turning 18 in Texas every year. So, from 2020 to 2024, Texas has added 1.6 million Gen Zers, who polling claims are skewed to Harris +16.
That means that Harris has a net gain of +256,000 voters on just that one demographic alone. Thatâs more than enough to wipe out Cruzâ 2018 margin of victory. Obviously there are a bunch of ridiculous assumptions in the above - that all those newly-minted voters vote, that they vote in a manner consistent with polling, and none have moved away or died - but you get the point.
People moving here are, by default, likely to be coming from somewhere less conservative. But, of course, there is probably a decent chunk of the Californians who moved to Austin being of the Orange Co. type, not Pelosi communists from San Francisco. But even people moving to Texas from, say, rural Mississippi or Louisiana looking for work, arenât necessarily red hats because they come from a red state.
As I keep saying, polling and the media clinging to its horserace narrative mean nothing these days. But watching what campaigns do with their finite resources is a huge tell, and that is telling us that both sides think Texas - especially Cruz - and Florida - especially Flordimort - are in a tight race. And if thatâs true in TX and FL, then the swing states shouldnât be close.

To wit: Fundraising totals for the third quarter were Allred $30 million, Cruz $21 million. Cruz will get PAC money to supplement his campaign, of course, but nothing says you have greater engagement and commitment than individual people âvotingâ with their dollars.
Also, itâs estimated that Allred still has a a war chest advantage over Cruz even after you factor in PAC money. Funds available from direct campaign contributions can be spent in many different ways - GOTV efforts etc. - which PAC money cannot be used for.
Before the latest fundraising quarter, Allred had raised $38 million to Cruzâs $23 million across their main campaign accounts. When including affiliated PACs, Allred held a narrower advantage: $41.2 million to Cruzâs $40 million.
Looking at those numbers, Allredâs war chest includes less than 10% PAC money while Cruzâ is over 40% PAC money.
Harris has been killing it on the non-legacy media tour she has been doing. Dropping clippable truth bombs and not pulling any punches.
She also did exceptionally well in her â60 Minutesâ interview that aired last night, despite the both sides/horserace heavy slant to all the questions (legacy media once again justifying why she is picking her moments with them).
Note how the reporter puts it on Harris; asking her to explain why she calls him a racist while listing a bunch of racist things Trump has said and sugar-coating them as âtropesâ rather than âfucking racistâ.
Meanwhile, Trump bailed on his â60 Minutesâ interview - they were supposed to air together in an election special - so CBS had some time to fill. CBS did this by explaining that Trump refused to appear, in part, because CBS would fact-check. Instead of his interview, they aired a piece about the red hat crazies who are trying to rat fuck the election in Arizona.
So much winning.
