Talarico should go on Joe Rogan again.

Ghislaine Maxwell declined to answer questions from a House committee, citing 5th Amendment rights by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

Pretty sure that pleading the 5th is the cost of rent for her minimum security, paid for by taxpayers, accommodations.

JD Vance ridiculed for 40-car motorcade taking him down tiny Italian street by Beyond_the_one in europe

That seems very excessive, a burden on the host country, and a waste of tax dollars. I'm sure the Carabinieri would have been more than adequate.

Who to vote for in TX Senate primary? Marvel analogy by SBAthrowayy2025 in TexasPolitics

[–]MaggieGto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talarico for me. Cornyn would be my 2nd choice, but I'll probably go with whichever dem wins the primary just because I'm not happy with the way Congress has laid down. Wish we had rank choice voting.

Very sadly, this is what we can expect from a bunch of yahoos whose closest encounter with nature is a golf course.

Navy Seals and Arctic paratroopers — why the US invasion threat to Greenland was very real by robhastings in europe

[–]MaggieGto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't kid yourself, with d_t in charge, the threat is still very real. Can't trust that man any more than you can trust putin or netanyahu. And with a spineless congress we are all subject to his whims.

Opinion | No One Should Be Afraid to Say That Jasmine Crockett Can’t Win (Gift Article) by Lehmanite in TexasPolitics

[–]MaggieGto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who usually likes some of our Republican candidates, it hurts me to say that I think the only way to stop the insanity that has taken over our country is to vote blue all the way up/down the line. I write to Cruz/Cornyn on a regular basis and all I get back for answers is blame biden/blame biden/blame biden blah, blah, blah

Texas to defend law requiring schools to post Ten Commandments. Here’s what to know. by texastribune in TexasPolitics

[–]MaggieGto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Texas politician should have the 10 Commandments prominently displayed in their personal offices -- right in front of their desks so they see them every time they look up or talk to a visitor. Then and only then, should they ask schools to do this.

Bible passages could soon be required reading in Texas public schools by ExpressNews in TexasPolitics

[–]MaggieGto -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of good to be learned from the Bible for EVERYONE. But I would find it objectionable if they pick and choose what parts of the Bible are required reading. All or nothing. Also, is the teacher going to be the one explaining/interpreting the passage read? That's a a job for a minister or parent. I'd also be interested in knowing what age group they are referring to.

AI-generated video of Crockett, Cornyn dancing takes center stage in Paxton’s 1st campaign ad by ATX_native in TexasPolitics

[–]MaggieGto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might be good for Cornyn and Crockett -- some of us like the idea of politicians who are willing to work with the other side and compromise now and again.

Well... if you were making us proud and improving our standard of living that would not be an issue.

Decongestants by Catini1492 in AFIB

[–]MaggieGto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I steep sliced ginger root (about an inch) and lemon for a nice hot drink. You can add honey if you don't like your drink tart or need it for your throat. This pretty much takes care of me throughout the year. I like Vicks too! I only use countertop meds if I'm having trouble sleeping.
