James Talarico, Democrat for Senate from Texas, on Cankles’
childish attacks on him, like calling him “weird” and repeatedly mangling his
name into “Talafreako”:
“I think a lot of people in our state voted for [him] the
last election because they thought he was going to lower prices; [when] they
thought he was going to end the forever wars. They thought he was going to
release the Epstein files. They thought he was going to drain the swamp. That's
why a lot of people in my family voted for President Trump. But just a year
into this administration, prices are up because of these crazy tariffs. There's
a new forever war in Iran. The Epstein files have not fully been released, and
the swamp is bigger than it's ever been before. These nicknames don't lower the
price of groceries. These nicknames don't lower the price of gas or utilities
or health care. These nicknames don't actually improve any of our lives.”
Talarico's answer makes clear how he intends to respond:
don't sink to the level of a childish, bloated gasbag racist and rapist. Bring the
conversation back to what people were promised—and what they're paying for
groceries, gas, utilities and health care now.

ReplyDeleteA posting so choc-a-block with words of wisdom to lifts our hearts - well, definitely mine for one!
ReplyDeleteNixon's slapback(?) is the BEST!
ReplyDeleteOvaries have always been a bit tougher than balls. Probably the outer protection. Justa totally unbiased opinion.
ReplyDeleteBeatty bringing up the bankruptcies to his face and Nixon turning Loomer's hate into a masterclass argument for healthcare—absolute perfection. The women are doing the real work while the party leadership twiddles its thumbs. Keep calling them out, Bob!
