Democrats take money from Epstein-tied megadonor

Wednesday, July 22, 2026

James Talarico and Sen. Jon Ossoff, D- Ga., who is running for re-election, have both received donations from Reid Hoffman, a billionaire who has admitted to spending time on Epstein's Caribbean island, Fox News reported. Hoffman donated $11.5 million to a Talarico-aligned super PAC called Lone Star Rising, according to The Texas Tribune. Hoffman donated $7,000 to Ossoff's campaign, the maximum legal amount.

Both Talarico and Ossoff have referred to the "Epstein class" when discussing billionaires. Talarico, for example, has said in an interview, "The Epstein Class has no place in Texas," while Ossoff said in a news statement earlier this year that "MAGA [ ... ] is the Epstein class, ruling our country."

Old news, thoroughly hashed at your last pussified thread:

"The only way to get Big Money out of our politics is to reject politicians like Ken Paxton who want corporations and billionaires to decide our elections, not Texans," Ennis said.

"While Ken Paxton works to enrich himself and his donors, James will remain the only candidate in this race fighting to ban super PACs, ban corporate PACs, ban congressional stock trading, and tax billionaires so we can fix this broken, corrupt political system."

from the Texas Tribune

Of course, you side with Pedo Protectors like Paxton and Trump, so there's that.

Reid Hoffman donating to super PACs really grinds Turd's gears.

Meanwhile Ken Paxton defending and releasing a pedophile back into the general public is perfectly acceptable for Turds.

Turds has a well established record for defending and voting for pedophiles.

Pedophiles remind him of his father.

A billionaire who donated $7,000?

Sounds like he's really pulling for Ossoff!

Notice the indifference of LFTHNDTHRDS to the ongoing TRUMP EPSTEIN COVERUP.

And, no, the Epstein Coverup has absolutely nothing, zip, zero, nada to do with the Secret Service switching Old Yeller's Secret Service codename from "LARD BUCKET" to the more rapidly transmitted, received, and acted upon "NIPS."

... one can donate in order to get idiots like you to suddenly take issue with people who went to Epstein island.

You voted for Trump 3 times and are still planning on voting for Ken Paxton.

You don't have a leg to stand on.

Your best hope is to drag others down to your level.

You're a turd.

"In a statement, Talarico spokesperson JT Ennis said the campaign "has no control over contributions to any super PAC," noting that federal law bars political campaigns from coordinating with outside entities.

Telling a PAC what to do is called Coordination. That's illegal.

We know you Pedophiles don't care about laws. You guys let convicted pedophiles go after all. But Talarico does follow the law.

Telling his voters that he doesn't endorse that support, way before they find out on their own, isn't illegal.

But you don't care. This is your way of covering for Beto 2.0, who by the way, isn't going to win.

You should just change your handle to Ed Hominem... your ad hominem in lieu of argument is, well... it should be terribly embarrassing for you.

But I guess when it's all you got, it's all you got.

You apparently have no logical retorts, ever, in argument to what anyone posts on current events, merely a 'Nu-uh! Your mom sucks!" (psychological projection, most likely).

Oh, wait... that's why you're Killfiled; because you are a waste of space.

Trump good, anyone else bad. Like a good little cultist.

And it's prolly not even just that; it's prolly that you just dislike progressives and liberals more than you dislike anyone else.

Perhaps Hillary stole your manhood long ago. She likely keeps in a thimble on a shelf somewhere in the basement.

@#1 ... Old news, thoroughly hashed at your last pussified thread:

Yeah, there's that.

Then there is also MAGA putting Mr Epstein's years-long "closest friend" into the Oval Office.

And apparently trying to protect other uber-wealthy Epstein friends.

So, unless and until the DoJ releases the Epstein files, the GOP should first clean their own house.

Walz pardoning a pedophile, after serving 20 years, before he was deported from America.

Is exactly the same as Paxton slapping a pedophile on the wrists and releasing him back into the community.

Here's something to think about.

Had Walz not pardoned Tou Lue Vang, he would still be in prison in Minnesota instead of having been deported.

I'm not sure which you xenophobic, pedophile supporters prefer.

More unfortunate yet is that they actually vote for pedophiles and people who protect them, then see Walz's action as some sort of justification for their behavior.

From your article

"Paxton's office did not respond to emailed questions for this story. A spokesperson pointed to a letter that two of his prosecutors who worked on the case sent to Leach last week, in which they explained that the case went to trial last year but ended in a hung jury, and the young victim did not want to testify a second time"

With the victim not testifying a second time, the defendant would have walked free of conviction. Paxton got the guy to plead guilty and register as a sex offender. Would you rather him just walked into society with no scarlet letter?

This is the kind of shit you morons try to cover up and label everyone a pedo.

OTOH, Walz attempted to release a child rapist into society because ICE was coming to the prisons to deport these monsters. IOW Wals was trying to keep him from being deported.

BRAVO, idiot.

Adam Dean Hoffman was originally charged with the continuous sexual abuse of an 8-year-old boy"a first-degree felony carrying a potential life sentence.

The initial agreement proposed by Paxton's office called for just one day in jail, but the presiding judge increased the sentence to 60 days after the victim's mother objected. Hoffman was released after serving less than 30 days and was not initially required to register as a sex offender in Texas.

So, who again is protecting pedophiles?
