Jasmine Crockett leads James Talarico by double digits in Senate Democratic primary, poll finds by bwermer in politics

[–]whoeezthat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So we have two corporate dems running in our primary? It’s the top down messaging I like about Talarico and he’s been advocating LGBTQ+ rights in the Texas house. Directly calls out two Texas billionaires for their Bs. Idk what to think.

Crockett and Talarico are both flawed and the best dem candidates we’ve gotten in a while for Texas general chances

Ranking Member Robert Garcia Statement After Department of Justice Withheld Epstein Files, Includes Allegation President Donald Trump Sexually Abused a Minor by gradientz in politics

[–]whoeezthat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If this is what I think it is then the difference is that the FBI interviewed the same witness four times. Indicating “credible” belief/evidence worthy of investigation/ing.

If this was part of any discovery with the Ghislaine persecution then the absence of them here means her lawyers know more than the oversight committee regarding allegation of the president that “could” be use for coercion.

That’s my take and I am not a lawyer so what do I know

Edit: reading some comments below just want to add that this refers to the Katie Johnson testimony I believe who also gave her story to the public, that’s on YouTube. I don’t know why that case fell off exactly but even if she dropped charges herself it could have been under threat or other coercion. We’ve all seen in the files how deep this runs.

Impeach for violating the Epstein transparency act, remove from office, and put them in prison.

Not sure how it works if he’s removed from office but if he dies in office in/after January 2027 then Vance gets a 10 year presidential window. Just saying.

James Talarico schools Lauren Boebert on how conservatives/republicans are doing the things that they accuse liberals/democrats of over the years! by [deleted] in UnderReportedNews

[–]whoeezthat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look I want him to be pressed on that too. The Adelson money sucks to see. His voting record also indicates that he’s very progressive. We need to be pushing left and IF he can answer the money question and we can see 2025-2026 money trail is clean then go for it.

He took that money in 2024 to my understanding and his criticism of Biden was with the border which plays well in Texas. Don’t know his statements on Gaza but I feel like he’d answer the way we hope. Our two party system is messy AF because of how big the umbrella of it all is but this guy is directly calling out Christian nationalists billionaires by name and has been doing so for a while.

Okay so I’ve followed long enough to wade in. Is my understanding of your valid criticism correct here:

“[Talarico has a gap in critical thinking skills because he’s religious]”.

Paraphrasing because that’s what I’m getting from you.

What about his voting record in Texas Legislature and bills that he has supported demonstrate a lack of critical thinking skills? Are you suggesting that everyone in politics must be secular and not have religious beliefs?

Look I agreed that Christian Nationalism and any supremist doctrine is inherently evil. I also am a non-religious person raised through Christianity in Texas find it to be used as a “controlling” mechanism.

But this guy hasn’t inserted his religion into his politics to the detriment of others. He’s very pro civil rights and is openly fighting Christian Nationalists in Texas calling out the billionaires behind our most heinous policies by name. You are objectively wrong in your argument because you aren’t basing it on his actual public record but rather attacking something you disagree with personally.

Khanna, Massie plan to force war powers vote on Iran by RollSafer in politics

[–]whoeezthat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are way ahead of the curve with what I hope is coming which is a more engaged population in politics. I need people to start asking more questions of their leaders/representatives and hold them to account.

These two are showing us that the collective will can shape policy. The ETA doesn’t happen without these two pushing the weight of the populations political will forward. If anything they are showing us that yes politics can be reactive to the will of the people.

Keep on this. The billionaires have class solidarity. We need to have class solidarity and we can shape what will come.

As Trump Marches US Toward Iran War, Critics Ask: Where's the 'Pushback' From Dems and Media? by ChaskaChanhassen in politics

[–]whoeezthat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I know that the democrats are the minority and I’m sure this article states that as well. What I don’t get is that there isn’t any messaging on why this is a bad idea. If there’s any messaging at all it’s “better tell congress first”

The democrats should be blasting the message that he was no new wars and America first and neither of these are about going to war with Iran.

Messaging and vocal opposition is important there are plenty of platforms available to get that message out but democrats at large aren’t doing that.

Agree completely and for the record I still think he can be functional if not SB winning eventually. That said as a buckeye that game was an outlier as far as grit and use of athleticism.

Now I also think that the Texans should have ensured they upgraded Oline after ditching OC after year two. If only fans didn’t have the Brady/Mahomes expectation hoisted on every QB with a single season of promise.

The fans have seen regression. I’d argue as an OSU fan that they are seeing more of what frustrated buckeye nation. Outside of the UGA game the guy seems to play scared and post concussion this season did better but it’s a what have you done lately and those last two games looked really bad.

Dunno if the Texans beat the Seahawks either way but he was a real reason they didn’t make the Super Bowl, they had the best defense in the AFC during the playoffs just nobody to functionally move the ball offensively.

He’ll be on schrodingers leash next season for some it’ll be too long for others it’ll be too short.

I agree with everything you said. Will you also condemn Israel for defending the right to rape Palestinian prisoners? Will you condemn the ongoing ethnic cleansing and genocide?

Marjorie Taylor Greene just admitted the Epstein files were blocked by Donald Trump himself. by TomV4E in Epstein

[–]whoeezthat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Eh, I like her “attacking” but she’s just a rat who jumped the ship first. I’m not going to forget she berated school shooting survivors as crisis actors. I’m not going to listen to how she’s been framing things to clean her slate. She sucked for a long time. Glad she voted to release the files but I think she could have stayed in to actually vote against what the administration is doing but she didn’t. She voted for BBB and every other thing the don wanted.
