  1. Democrats generally, and particularly in Texas, worry too much about what people who are not likely to vote for them think about them. Black politicians are obsessed with appearing to everybody’s mayor, senator or president in ways that their white counterparts have no such constraints. It’s one of the things that frustrated me about Obama and excited me about Biden. Colin seems to be even more cautious and it’ has hampered his effectiveness. That said, there’s something to be said about a serious, sober politicians who has skills other than the ability to glad hand, and entertain.
  2. I’m a financial supporter but, I think it’s a potentially fatal mistake to focus mostly on likely voters and not try to energize new voters. Texas is not red. It just has a nasty habit of voting red.
  3. Don’t they know Sandy Patti is retired?
  4. Breaking news! Trump inadvertently tells the truth. Admits he’s not Christian:
  5. I just don’t understand how a bullet could so little damage.
  6. Why would a hospital release medical records to him? The former White House physician has no Texas medical license. His Virginia license expired more than three years ago, and his Florida license hasn’t been valid since he retired from the Navy in 2019, though that would in no way make it illegal or unethical to offer aid during an emergency.
  7. How the hell can make Montel make anybody’s way when he hasn’t made his own. Magalitia who insist on obsessing over a young, single Kamala’s coochiefax is leaving themselves, their perverted candidate and his pole dancing “genius” wife exposed to scrutiny that they won’t be able to withstand. Somebody should give them a heads up. But then, maybe not.
  8. How is it in such a diverse state that we have one of the worst governors in the country?
  9. I guess it’s possible for the same kind of bullet that blew a bystander’s brains out, could barely scrape his ear and leave it completely in tact, but I’m dubious.
  10. Honestly, I don’t think it’s about old white guys as much as it’s people being sick to death of Trump and his old, tired hateful bullshit.
  11. Would result is the second best response next to Joe taking the stage.
  12. Obama MUST wear a tan suit when he addresses the convention next month in Chicago. He simply MUST.
  13. Well, she was a governor for a couple of weeks. Stop being harsh.
  14. And that biscuit from Garland covering for Kilmeade to keep his grift going…disgusting.
  15. Makes me wanna sing the Campbell Soup song, especially when you add Whitmer, Moore, Newsome, Colorado governor, Polis, Katie Porter, Osoff, Warnock…
  16. I was the call and one of the most inspiring and compelling speakers was a gay brother from Alpha Kappa Psi. The focus was on getting Kamala elected and nothing else.
  17. U.S. support for banning assault-style weapons in the U.S. 2023, by party Published by Statista Research Department, Jul 5, 2024 According to a survey conducted in February 2023, 53 percent of all registered voters in the United States strongly supported banning assault-style weapons. Opinions were divided based on political party, with 73 percent of Democrats saying they strongly support an assault weapon ban and 29 percent of Republicans strongly opposing such a ban. Gun laws by state As the Second Amendment of the Constitution allows for citizens to own firearms, many citizens take advantage of that. Gun ownership rates across the country have fluctuated slightly over the past 30 years, with Texas being home to the highest number of registered guns in the country. However, gun ownership laws vary by state, as some states are stricter than others. The federal government does not have many laws that control gun sales, so it is up to the states to create their own legislation. States such as New York, New Jersey, and California have banned military-style weapons, while many other states such as Florida and Texas still allow them. Political opinions Gun ownership is a highly contentious topic between the two major parties in the United States. 78 percent of registered voters identifying themselves as Democrats strongly supported stricter gun control laws, while only 22 percent of Republican voters strongly supported stricter firearm legislation.
