talarico has pulled even with paxton on kalshi and polymarket, first time this cycle. i'm sure it's nothing though.

If there's anything that we should all ignore as a valid prognosticator, it's kalshi and polymarket. People making bets on future outcomes used as "polling data" is ripe for manipulation by deep pockets, not to mention the phenomenon of fools and their money.

But if you want to get your hopes up, by all means, knock yourself out.

Sounds like you should bet the farm

bet you $500 paxton wins

Reid Hoffman put $10 million behind James Talarico in July. @approject just answered with $10 million in ads across Texas showing the dangers of Talarico's transgender ideology.

Fight fire with fire! @Schilling1776, @JonSchweppe, and the rest are the best in the biz. https://t.co/jC4pcE1df0

Good ad.

In the spirit of LBJs '64 ad against Goldwater

Well…what someone does in their personal life is no business of ours and has no bearing on their ability to do the job while in office!

Guess the leftists and Brisket Kid groupies are going to be reverting to that now that Saint James appears to have a bit of Weinstein in him.

Funny how that paradigm only applies to Democrats, from Clinton to Blumenthal to Swallwell to Platner. Now they will have to use it for the Pegged Prophet.

You mean that adultery and bribery are none of our business?

Who bribed who? Why aren't they in prison? Has the FBI looked into it?

Just saw Paxton on Maria Bartiromo. Spoke well enough, had lots of good points. Just wish he didn't look like he was coming off o a three day bender all the time. But I'm voting policy, not looks.

Normally, "personal life" refers to someone's relationships. That's what the poster was referring to, and you know it.

Why did you insert the added ad drive-by accusation of bribery? Since when is criminal bribery argued as one's personal life? And if you have evidence of Paxton receiving bribes, by all means state your case.

Or, do better.

the FBI had been on Paxton for the better part of a decade. These posters who state "facts" so confidently about bribery and corruption should hand over their evidence to the FBI asap.

"in fact, there are 6 biological sexes"

Here's your daily reminder that Talarico is INSANE.

Here's another direct quote as another daily reminder. Talrico thinks white skin is an infectious disease that kills black people:

"The virus kills our black neighbors if they're jogging, playing music, sitting in church, selling CDs, or carrying a bag of Skittles...

White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus. But we spread it wherever we gothrough our words, our actions, and our systems. We don't have to be showing symptomslike a white hood or a Confederate flagto be contagious.

The only cure is diagnosing the virus within ourselves and taking dramatic actions to contain the spread."

My interpretation of his words are that white skin is what protects us from the virus (that only affects those with white skin).

The virus itself is inherent racism. We are white, therefore we are racist and privileged. People of color are not white, so they cannot be racist or privileged.

The only way for us to fight the "virus" is to admit our racism, and the dramatic actions we can take is to admit that we are always wrong, and people of color are always right. Oh, and to open our checkbooks and willingly give all we have to the oppressed people of color to attempt to atone for our racist sins.

So sayeth the word of Pastor Talarico.

And to think that is not an absolutely harmful, pandering, divisive worldview is an affront to everything decent.

He's right you know

The original allegations of bribery were brought by his own office staff. This was part of the charges brought against him at his impeachment by the Republican controlled House. The "good ole boy" Republican controlled Senate let him off.

That's what primaries are for. The fact that republicans chose a criminal like Paxton instead of a statesman like Cornyn says all I need to know about Texas republicans.

maybe you missed the part about the "whistleblowers", when put under oath, admitted they had no evidence, only suspicion from overhearing a conversation about a conversation about a kitchen remodel. And the kitchen was not remodeled. They also went to Biden's FBI, who spent years not finding anything. I see the Pravda narratives worked well on you though.

Cornyn was a (D) who put an (R) behind his name to get elected. Paxton, even with his baggage, is a better choice. Cornyn was and is garbage.

"a statesman like Cornyn"

Not voting for either of those losers.

Did this dude get increasingly stereotypical as he listed our favorite pastimes?

Screams of "I'm not racist. I like fried chicken, too!"

And he's far from the only white Dem who sounds like this. It's like they're all imagining a black guy listening and nodding, tear in eye, mouthing "thank you, FINALLY!" Wouldn't be surprised if he's not running this stuff by actual black people. Really bizarre stuff.

comrade, the Presbyterian minister is an "equity consultant" for an org that wants to defund police, voted against tax cuts and bans on wealth tax and income tax in Texas, talks about equity all the time, thinks whiteness carries disease, and even panders to the existential threat of climate crisis to support green new deal govt spending.

I voted for Cornyn in the primary. Many of us did. We won't vote for your HIV+ communist because Cornyn didn't win.

So, nuking the filibuster is his strategy for reaching out to independent voters and black and Hispanc Democrats who have reservations about Talafreako. Brilliant strategy from a deep thinker

Every Democrat enables and supports socialism/communism. And hiv+ talarico is most definitely sympathetic to the DSA platform.

Cornyn was a two faced RINO who did not want to vote yesterday, and said we didn't need a wall and it was okay for immigrants to cross when Biden was our supposed President

This. The "he's not in jail so he didn't do it" argument is one of the dumber ones you will see from folks who are fans of Paxton, and not simply voting for him as the least bad choice. By that logic, Joe Biden is a saint who never retained classified records nor used his office for improper personal benefit.

Then don't complain later if you don't vote!
