Talarico’s tall tales

Wednesday, October 28, 2026

U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico seemed to have settled on a strategy for dealing with his history of promoting dishonest and destructive ideas. The Texas Democrat, aware that his positions were far to the left of the average American, sought to run away from the most disturbing items on his agenda. But now a week before Election Day he's saying that he hasn't moderated his views at all. Voters beware

I feel bad for the people of Texas. Their choice is between this radical weirdo and a corrupt cretin Paxton. That's all around awful.

JBelle can always be counted on to parrot obvious GOP lies about a candidate.

He's like a Trumper in the Witless Protection Program.

Talarico has a record as a representative in the Texas house. He is not radical and is very well spoken. They could certainly do worse.

For rightwing morons who want all our taxes to go to wars and the wealthy, it's pretty radical.

For people living in reality, his policies are sensible and effective.

People like bellringer are racists and would prefer America burn to the ground rather than see their tax dollars help Brown and Black working class Americans.

The attack on public education started with desegregation.

White conservatives would rather see everyone fail than have one Black person succeed.

The Trump administration Justice Department suffered a massive setback on Tuesday, as a federal grand jury refused to indict former GOP aide Cassidy Hutchinson on charges of lying to Congress.

Or this, you lying sack of ----?

Journalist Scott MacFarlane flagged what he called an obvious mistake in a Justice Department announcement about an alleged noncitizen voter, in his "Day Ahead" newsletter on Wednesday.

MacFarlane said DOJ has been putting out releases on individual noncitizens accused of voting in 2022, each showing a blurred image of the suspect with an agent's windbreaker. One of the entries alleges a Greek national voted for President, Vice President, US Senator and Member of the House of Representatives in 2022."

The problem is that "2022 was not a Presidential or Vice Presidential election year," MacFarlane noted.

What it all adds up to is this: Six years after Trump claimed that millions of illegal votes were cast against him in 2020, he failed to document a single illegal vote.

Right-Wing Influencer James O'Keefe Charged With Unlawful Voting, Identity Theft
Minnesota prosecutors have charged right-wing influencers James O'Keefe and Cam Higby with felony charges of unlawful voting and identity theft after the two misrepresented themselves to vote in Minnesota's primary election on August 11.

At a press conference announcing the charges, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said both men gave the names of registered voters to election judges in multiple precincts, filming themselves as they did so as a means to sow doubt about election integrity.

While both men stopped short of signing the oath on the ballot, Moriarty noted it's still a felony in Minnesota to even apply for a ballot using a stolen identity.

"Elections are the bedrock of democracy and their protection is one of our highest priorities. Individuals engaging in unlawful conduct related to our elections will be held accountable," Moriarty said in a statement accompanying the announcement

"Our office has had regular meetings with Hennepin County Elections staff in preparation for both the primary and the general elections this year and we are fully prepared," Moriarty continued.

O'Keefe rose to prominence as the founder of Project Veritas, a conservative nonprofit known for its hidden-camera stings that often produced highly misleading videos.

The right-wing group fired him in 2023 after the board determined he'd spent "an excessive amount of donor funds" on personal luxuries.

They also decided that a Presidential Candidate Convicted of Sexual Assault by a Jury of his Peers, and of Business Fraud, and who's paid off literally dozens of sex charges, including Election Hush Money to a Porn Star...

... and who, traditionally more seriously even than those charges, Ordered his DOJ to send a Letter to States saying it was A-OK to change the Results of the State's votes from Biden to Trump. ie: to Rig the Election.

And that's not to mention the pain and economic suffering and the mental and moral angst over yet another Republican Forever War, so I won't mention that.

So yeah, Palling Around With The Pedo Ring King Procuror as his Master of Ceremonies is really just the Icing on the Trump Crime Family Traitor and Grift Administration, Inc.

Republicans had a child molester as their Speaker Of The House for like a decade.
Republicans loved Dennis Hastert.
Denny molested boys.

And when he got caught, Republicans wrote to the sentencing judge, begging leniency for his crimes!

"Sixty letters asking for leniency for Hastert were submitted to the court ahead of sentencing, but 19 of these letters were withdrawn after Judge Durkin said that he would not consider any letters that were not made public.[204] Of the 41 letters that were made public, several were from current or former members of Congress: Tom DeLay, John T. Doolittle, David Dreier, Thomas W. Ewing, and Porter Goss (who is also a former CIA director)" en.wikipedia.org

Tom DeLay, John T. Doolittle, David Dreier, Thomas W. Ewing, and Porter Goss.
All Republicans. All openly supported a child molester. This is just who Republicans are.

Liberals are not the problem. The border isn't the problem.

The problem is Congress and our out of date dysfunctional immigration laws.

It is the congressional failure to update immigration statutes that have created chronic visa backlogs, enforcement gaps, and operational chaos at the border.

Maybe America will decide it is time to end the FAFO and get back to work.

Unfortunately.. The odds are not in our favor as maga maroons are not really interested in solving immigration problems as they are too busy exploiting them.

The immigration laws are just fine when they are enforced. Trump has gotten a lot of th8ngs wrong. The one thing he's nailed is border enforcement. We know with Democrats it will be wide open again and that's by design. It's a conscious choice. Screw that.

Zed might stroke out if Talarico loses. I hope he doesn't because I don't wish anything bad on him, unlike all of the horrible things he wishes on me.
