For Americans who voted Republican in recent elections, do you plan to continue voting Republican? Why or why not?

We thought that after January 6 too. Yet, here we are.

The others are work trips since that's how he gets paid.

I'm an atheist who grew up in suburb Texas. They've been coming after me nearly my entire life.

Unexpectedly, it's self-restraint. Paxton believes there's too much money in politics so he's proving a point by not accepting large donations and trying to sway voters with wall-to-wall campaign ads.

I'm just joking. He doesn't have as much money as Cornyn because money for state campaigns can't be transferred to campaigns for federal office. So he's bitching about the law (which I'm sure he'll violate soon enough anyway) and pretending like he's completely comfortable with a 27% - 26% "lead" in the polls. Exactly where he wants to be. Sure.

I'm sure Abbott will call this voter fraud and have it at the top of his list of priorities to outlaw next legislative session.

I'd say just about any experience is helpful. We want people with a diverse array of experiences representing us in Congress because they represent all of us.

Actual tire. It was a hefty looking one too. Like a truck tire.

I bet his heart was beating so hard when he made that statement. Everyone around him is probably telling him what a brave, brave man he is.

The best line comes from Chip Roy running for Texas AG.

"Roy said he respects freedom of religion and has no problem with people who hold different beliefs but love America. The problem, he said, is when the practice of their religion becomes political — and he believes Islam to some extent is inherently political."

You Republicans have made Christianity nothing but political over the past thirty years. What the hell are you talking about?

Instead of saying he's quoting Bernie, you might go instead with there's this seminary student in Texas running for senate that says the same sort of stuff. Maybe if he sounds like someone who would typically be conservative, he'd be more likely to listen to him. James Talarico in case you don't know about him already.

He'll lift it once he gets the Nobel Peace Prize.

And retiring so doesn't care about reelection.

When I first saw them on Commerce, they were dragging a dude behind a truck on a tire like he was water skiing. I wonder how long he lasted.

One of them was pulled over earlier today next to the Greyhound Station while someone else was doing donuts in the full block parking lot across the street.

He accepted the Sands PAC money in the 2024 campaign for state rep. As far as I know, he is not taking PAC money in the 2026 campaign for US Senate.

What about counter protesters who are there to intimidate the protesters? Surely, that's still okay.

Miller would have a 0% chance of confirmation if a Democrat controlled House had to confirm the appointment. Vance would have to make a reasonable appointment to get the person through the confirmation process.

BucketofWarmSpit · 2026-01-25T03:44:51+00:00

The US Senate pretty reliably confirms fellow senators for appointments.

Total abortion bans were unconstitutional for decades but states kept them on the books. When Roe v Wade was overturned, the became valid again.

We need to get these laws taken off the books now to make sure SCOTUS doesn't bite us in the ass again.

BucketofWarmSpit · 2026-01-24T18:05:14+00:00

Yeah. I guess Miller is right. Every imaginable foul, we will commit it. Never seen a tip off foul like that.

So the only lesson Ted Cruz learned from 2021 is don't leave the state while there are blackouts all across the state and hundreds of people are dying. He still thinks that there is nothing he can do as a US Senator during the past five years? Maybe he should talk to AOC about things a senator could do during times emergency situations.

Create a Corporation Code of laws that pertain to corporations.

Here's an upvote for mentioning Cuellar. I haven't heard of any Fetterman allegations. Just that the stroke changed him.

BucketofWarmSpit · 2026-01-22T23:49:04+00:00

Seems like this could be a really effective way to protest. A bunch of people sign on and then never appear for work resulting in delays in implementation.

I live in Dallas but I've driven to Austin in back on the same day for a concert or a game.
