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.

Miss Joyce was RIGHT.,
ReplyDeleteAnd Patel was such a disgrace in that hearing! Seriously.
That Massie is making the MAGAt Repugs’ life difficult makes me happy.
XOXO
Patel is the most inept in that cabinet and that's saying a lot!!
Deletexoxo
There is hope!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed and vote!!
DeleteEvery one of these "speakers of truth to power" is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteLots of power in these words. Now, if we could all listen and vote ....
DeleteA posting so choc-a-block with words of wisdom to lifts our hearts - well, definitely mine for one!
ReplyDeleteIt does feel good to hear these folks speaking out!
DeleteNixon's slapback(?) is the BEST!
ReplyDeleteShe did not come to play, she came to slay.
DeleteOvaries have always been a bit tougher than balls. Probably the outer protection. Justa totally unbiased opinion.
ReplyDeleteThat must be it!
DeleteBeatty 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!
ReplyDeleteI agree about it being the women taking the risks and speaking up. Men need to follow suit or get out of the way!

ReplyDeletexoxo :-)
"I know you are incompetent". When I read that, I thought, in addition to the rest of your administration.
ReplyDeleteThe women shall lead them.
Yes, ma'am!
DeleteSadly Donald Duck's never ending war with Iran is affecting most of the world; everyone bar the rich who are no doubt coining it in.
ReplyDeletePerhaps come January we can start to fix things.
DeleteThe Fake President was born in The Jamaica Hospital in Queens. Maybe it's time he thought about changing that hospital's name to The Adolf Hitler Memorial Hospital.
ReplyDeleteHe'd rather call it America Hospital, but his father and grandfather might prefer The Hitler Clinic.
DeleteAngie Nixon: mic drop!
ReplyDeleteShe suffers zero fools and I am here for that!
DeleteAngie Nixon and Joyce Beatty remind of two eloquent representatives of the past :
ReplyDeleteBarbara Jordan and Shirley Chisholm.
We need reps who speak with facts.
Talarico is climbing, as Paxton sinks anchored to Abbott. Talarico is the next generation of leaders for Texas and the USA.
Rex in DC
Good comparison; all four of those women were, and are, forces or nature!
Deleteππ Thank you to these ^ people and keep knocking back at him please. VOTE BLUE!!
ReplyDeleteππΌππΌππΌ
DeleteThese are great and intelligent people! I wish everyone spoke to The Orange Menace like Joyce Beatty did.
ReplyDeleteI wish the reporters would do like that!
DeleteI check every morning to see what fresh hell he has done.
ReplyDeleteHe's becoming more and more unhinged.
