What it means to be a man is a theme in Texas Senate race as Paxton attacks Talarico

"Talarico is a vegan." "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Uh, well, Talarico says God is nonbinary or something?" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Um, Talarico is, uh, low T?" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile." "Talarico is going to institute sharia law!" "Paxton pardoned a pedophile."

"White House hobgoblin Stephen Miller used "transgender" as an insult, telling Faux News that James Talarico is the Democrats' "first transgender Senate candidate." Talarico is not transgender. Florida Republican congressional candidate good-for-nothing Dan Weldon questioned Talarico's masculinity by idiotically questioning his football knowledge: 'It's a huge problem for the Democrat Party that you take one look at the men they run for elected office and just know that they couldn't name a single obscure wide receiver from the early 2000s.'"

Poor Democrat Zohran Mamdani was slimed by his fellow Democrats Andrew "Judas Iscariot" Cuomo (D-Israel) and John "Benedict Arnold" Fetterman (D-Israel) during his race to become NYC mayor in 2025.

They both failed miserably.

Here is just one example of "piling on": Human Hippo

Good shepherd James Talarico will no doubt forgive his slanderers and enemies.

"Talarico is not transgender"

And there is no Sharia Law in Texas.

And there is no "Woke ideology" in Texas classrooms.

And by no means are Trump and Paxton Christians, even by Texas standards.

The delusions under which these people live their lives are unending.

Hi Zed:

Opposition research found out that James Talarico's wife is a vegan, which is apparently a "no-no" in Texas.

Perish forbid if she likes cats.

Groan.

First I heard of this, and I'm native-born.

MAGA just makes up things that MAGA is alarmed about.

Jeepers-- James Talarico's girlfriend is a cat person: twitchy.com

Making stuff up to create hatred, like James Talarico not knowing an NFL player from 23 years ago, is probably right.

Paxton certainly knows his audience; low-browed, low-minded, low income, low education, low tolerance for anyone different than themselves.

The Democratic candidate for senate in Texas ate a burrito without meat in it, while the Republican candidate for senate sprung a------------ from prison after only a month, and these are somehow apparently equivalent offenses.

Yea. But slander and lies buys you a lot of republican voters.

Men who worship Trump, a man who wears liquid foundation, is *obsessed* with ballrooms, dances to gay anthems from the 70s, plays music from Broadway musicals, talks fondly about Arnold Palmer's enormous penis, and gushes about how hot Jaxson Dart is, are questioning James Talarico's sexuality?

Texas conservatives will vote for a North Dakota pedophile protector with an (R) after his name.

Instead of a 7th generation Texan pastor with a (D) after his name.

And this is why republicans aren't worried about being openly corrupt.

HILARIOUS. After trying to smear him as gay, as though that is a smear, MAGA doxes Talarico's girlfriend and celebrates that she's a lobbyist and a vegan.

She's also a hot Latina who is descended from Michel Branamour Menard, the Canadian Fur Trader who founded Galveston, Texas, signed the Texas Declaration of Independence, and for whom Menard County is named after.

They cannot get a thing to stick to choirboy while they run the most corrupt candidate in senate history

SHRIMPdick and Turds will most likely vote for pedophile protector and Trump yes man, Ken Paxton.

Because they'd rather have a pedophile from North Dakota represent them. They have the same values, protecting pedophiles.

Trump thought he could be a national hero by promising to be honest about the Epstein Files.

Then, when push came to shove, he thought he'd let the chance for heroism just pass him by.

E.Jean Carrol received outside funding for her civil lawsuit after testifying under oath that she didn't but then said she "forgot" that billionaire Reid Hoffman and American Future Republic funded a large portion.

I don't know why I feel like I have to point out the obvious here, but one of them has gone through a bunch of wives, which is very normal for a politician.

The other has never had a spouse and has produced no children, which isn't very normal for a politician. He might date his female staff, but it's unconfirmed.

You have to be straight af to win the Texas senate. He needs to roll coal and knock somebody up.
