While I usually don't condone derogatory name calling, I get your angst and disgust. He's worse than the normal leftist/socialist/globalist Democrat because he tries to come off as a sheep, when he's a wolf.
To anyone who can look into a camera and say "I love the trans children", I owe absolutely no courtesy to, and all the scorn I can muster. That dude is a sick freak
Jimmy Kimmel did a bit years ago with Adam Corolla out in public getting signatures to end women’s suffrage. At one point he was cutting edge, ironic, and funny. Somewhere along the line, he turned in his man card and embraced his inner beta. It would be sad if it weren’t so pathetic.
Talarico definitely has the lying part of being a politician down pat. He does it with a straight face. And he claims to be a Christian / preacher. Right.
Talarico is one of the most dishonest creatures on the planet, and that's saying something.
His candidacy is built entirely on the idea that he just has to claim to be the most wonderful person in the world and voters are supposed to take him at his word.
Another long-time Texan here. I’ve also been getting constant texts from the Talarico campaign. I’ve voted Republican in every national, state, and local election since I was 18 (now a retiree). Pretty sick when the predatory Dems start preying on our text feeds every day!! 😡
Agree with all others here about the Talarico lies as well. His big one lately is claiming that Ken Paxton supports data centers in our county and throughout Texas. Obviously a hot-button, as no sane citizen wants to live within a thousand miles of one of these!!
Funny thing where I live. There were 3 data centers, long term...4 years or so and a bitcoin mining center. All been sucking electricity and operating for years.
Plans were for the 3 data centers to consolidate on one old Superfund cleanup site which is currently a grass field, used to be a steel mill.
You are correct. He lies. About a lot. I live in Texas. I got solicited for a poll this week by Mercury Opinion, a supposedly bipartisan pollster. I was offered $10 for my opinion. When I looked them up you could take a bunch of polls for $5 a shot. I wonder what those YouTube views paid?
I wonder if you indicate you are a conservative if they don't just ditch your responses in the nearest trash can, just like happens with ballots in some voting districts. That will account for the heavily Leftie polls we see. Since you live in Texas, I hope they are advertising like crazy now for the GOP and against the Dems. The GOP spent zilch going up to the convention while the Dems spent over $80M for Talarico, much of it from California donors.
I heard there was Soros support as well. I think you are likely right about ditching responses. The Mercury Opinion outfit claims it is bipartisan but the head of it is a Democrat strategist. I don't respond to any polls anyway. My vote is my business.
As for hoping our Texas (and national) GOP funding coordinators are “advertising like crazy” for Paxton, we’ve been told that isn’t going to happen.
The word is that since Trump endorsed Paxton and thereby sealed Cornyn’s defeat in the Primary, Thune and the other top RINO’s have announced that Trump’s coffers should pay to put Paxton over the line against Talarico’s VAST campaign war-chest.
Politico reported yesterday that the US GOP Senate Committee just pumped $32M into the Paxton campaign to prop it up. Trump put in $10M. Musk's PAC will also make donations. They will flood Texas with ads the next 6 weeks and salvage the election for Paxton. The GOP Senate would be stupid to let him lose. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/09/11/gop-money-texas-paxton-trump-01072972
Good to know. Thanks. We would not still be bogged down in this mess if McConnell had had an ounce of integrity. The people spoke loudly; he ignored them. I despise those who think they are "elite".
My chief objections have been addressed already or will be shortly (McConnell). I feel sorry for Collins she is eternally between the rock and the hard place
I despise Murkowski with the same contempt I reserve for Liz Cheney. No more political dynasties please! I kind of liked Massie but he is a prima donna. I am concerned though that he will run for McConnell seat and remain a thorn in our side. I agree with you about MTG. Maybe I look at this differently but I view Trump as a lightning rod willing to draw and take the heat for the cause. He has the ego for that. But the deal is that his ego must be respected. MTG wants to be Trump. That is not workable. I do not expect, or want, GOP politicians to be in lock step. That's the way the Dems were and it was creepy. But once the debate is had there has to be respect for leadership and right now that leader is Trump.
Musk announced his support for Paxton this week. And he too is formidable. I think all of this hullabaloo is overrated and an attempt to dissuade Republicans from turning out. I will not be stopped nor I suspect will others. Do not forget we got rid of RINO Cornyn and Crenshaw and Jasmine Crockett. Lloyd Doggett is out too.
Talarico stands for nothing. He’s a progressive propagandist. Now he’s backtracking on his unpopular radical stances on many things. California has funded his campaign which is really concerning. He cannot be elected but Paxton is not a formidable opponent.
Paxton is very formidable. He single-handedly opposed whoever was calling the shots for the Biden administration on immigration, lockdowns, transitioning minors, and DEI. Successfully. He is sorely needed in our very feckless Senate.
And the D woman running for governor of Ohio won’t debate Ramasawany. Hobbs, in Arizona, wouldn’t debate her opponent in the last election, and won’t in the current one. The female governors of New Jersey and Virginia ran as centrist democrats, but have turned out to be something quite different. It’s all a dishonest crap show, but it has worked, unfortunately.
We will see. I think the style over substance era is about over. The hard ones in America are tired of it. Plus we need a lawmaker in Congress who is formidable in the legal arena.
Paxton is a TERRIBLE opponent. But Trump is very loyal and is repaying Paxton for his support of Trump including in the courts. It doesn't hurt Paxton that Cornyn has done everything possible to make Trump's Presidencies fail (along with the other backstabbing GOP Establishment types in the Senate). Cornyn deserved to be primaried. The bet was that Paxton, though weak, would still win in Red Texas. Probably right
I don’t live in Texas, but my impression of Texans is they don’t put up with much shit. This Talafreako is such a mutant, I can’t see Texans voting for it, as much as Paxton is flawed.
As for Kimmel, I have had turds I admire more than him. I wish Adam Corolla would denounce him. I understand why he doesn’t.
I guess it's a hard line to decide that ANYTHING about Talariturd is not good, he's just another lying demoncrat why give him any ink? The way they cheat, and I'm not even a Texan but I'm concerned. He's just slimier than Crockett.
I live in Texas. If we send that little faggot to Washington as a senator I am going to be both disappointed and disgusted
God Bless Texas! Used to live in Foat Wuth myself. Don't Mess With Texas
I'm guessing you're less than enthusiastic about the freakette the dems are pushing forward for governor. How did we get here...
Worse yet, check out Brandon Herrera's (AKA AK guy) dem opponent in district 23
Your last question, I have no answer for. Just glad I'm old
While I usually don't condone derogatory name calling, I get your angst and disgust. He's worse than the normal leftist/socialist/globalist Democrat because he tries to come off as a sheep, when he's a wolf.
You give him more credit than due, and disrespect wolves. He is a hyena.
To anyone who can look into a camera and say "I love the trans children", I owe absolutely no courtesy to, and all the scorn I can muster. That dude is a sick freak
Wow. I started following Sasha Stone when somebody relatively thoughtful recommended her but I am starting to think this comment belongs on her page.
Non sequitur much?
Now there’s a bigoted comment. At any rate, he’s is in a long-term relationship with Brianna Menard.
Is that a biological woman or a trans woman?
Oh you 2 sillies!
Bless your heart sweetie. You sure got a lot of names
If these people willingly lied to obtain an illicit FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign, they will lie about anything and everything.
the only sin to a leftist is getting caught
They do lie about anything and everything, because the truth always hurts them.

Talarico has a forked tongue. Should he win, God forbid, he would have to listed as (D - bowels of Hell).
Talarico is one of the most dishonest creatures on the planet, and that's saying something.
His candidacy is built entirely on the idea that he just has to claim to be the most wonderful person in the world and voters are supposed to take him at his word.
Kind of a repackaged Beto

Data centers just monetize gas reserves, convert it to data.
People have gone bonkers on this subject.
Data centers are far less obtrusive than 99% of industrial projects, the end game is the oppose all economic activity.
I wish more could see this game plan for what it is
Funny thing where I live. There were 3 data centers, long term...4 years or so and a bitcoin mining center. All been sucking electricity and operating for years.
Plans were for the 3 data centers to consolidate on one old Superfund cleanup site which is currently a grass field, used to be a steel mill.
The entire town goes nuts!
Can't do anything else with that land so why not?
The scary thing is it just might work.

Here is a list of RINOs from 2025 according to Grok. It is not complete. I will add those that are needed:
@grok
Here's a list of RINOs in Congress for 2025 with ratings (1 = assumed RINO, 10 = zero question):
Senators:
- Susan Collins (ME): 9 gets MAGA support in a Bluish state
- Lisa Murkowski (AK): 9 should be replaced
- John Cornyn (TX): 5 primaried by Trump
- Jerry Moran (KS): 4
- Todd Young (IN): 5
- Bill Cassidy (LA): primaried by Trump
- James Lankford (OK): will be primaried his next election
- Mitch McConnell (KY): is not running again
- John Thune (SD): should be primaried for ineffectiveness his next time up
House:
- Brian Fitzpatrick (PA): 6
- Marcus Molinaro (NY): 5 running for NY State Assembly
- Mike Lawler (NY): 5 is mostly pro-Trump, but tough NY district
- Don Bacon (NE): 6 retiring
- Zach Nunn (IA): 5
- Thomas Massie (KY): Declined to run
What do you think? Are there others? MTG knocked herself out. More of that, please. If you can't cooperate with your team, then leave
My chief objections have been addressed already or will be shortly (McConnell). I feel sorry for Collins she is eternally between the rock and the hard place

Trump and Elon have promised millions for advertising

Formidable in the courts, not in politics where presentation and style matter.
biden hid in a basement and that fugly woman for governor in arizona or new mexico or wherever wouldnt even do a debate or interview.
And the D woman running for governor of Ohio won’t debate Ramasawany. Hobbs, in Arizona, wouldn’t debate her opponent in the last election, and won’t in the current one. The female governors of New Jersey and Virginia ran as centrist democrats, but have turned out to be something quite different. It’s all a dishonest crap show, but it has worked, unfortunately.
We will see. I think the style over substance era is about over. The hard ones in America are tired of it. Plus we need a lawmaker in Congress who is formidable in the legal arena.
That all works for me. We will see if it works for the average Texas voter. Probably will compared to the alternative
I know this is out of sequence and not on the money point but I thought you would find it of interest.

Telarico reminds me of Beta O'Rourke.
Yes, both had CA and NY funding. Texans will not vote for that freak Talarico.
Why is he even or leading in the polls then?
Polls, give me a break. When has a poll been correct?
He lies about God Almighty! That’s all he’s been doing for his entire existence is lie. Whatever he thinks will get him votes he’ll say it.
He just said that his campaign is entirely funded by Texans - after he just got back from a fundraiser in LA with the woke donors there.
He is a lying, hypocritical, grifting conman, who doesn’t have a genuine bone in his body.
Smoke and mirrors, Sasha.
Ken Paxton will join Cruz representing Texas.
Fake Christian too.
What else is new. Their whole premise is lies.
He is a Democrat and they all lie all time on everything.
I don’t live in Texas, but my impression of Texans is they don’t put up with much shit. This Talafreako is such a mutant, I can’t see Texans voting for it, as much as Paxton is flawed.
As for Kimmel, I have had turds I admire more than him. I wish Adam Corolla would denounce him. I understand why he doesn’t.
How is it possible that he’s even in the running in Texas? That’s crazy.
A very dark chapter indeed! Like Hillary, Kamala...Jimmy just go away. Your expiration date was like 2 years ago
