This for all the Bush-loving conservatives in here, especially the Texans:

I have a question for you in the aftermath of Trump proposing a firing squad for Liz Cheney -- the daughter of his VP?

Where is W on this?

What isn't he denouncing Trump, right now. 

What's he waiting on? 

Where's your Texas hero? 

Just wondering...

That bloated orange windbag has done nothing but insult and ridicule Liz for years. Why would W grow a spine now?

And South Texas. We ceded a traditionally Blue South Texas Corridor with a booming population and have done Nothing to course correct.  It's infuriating. We need a statewide candidate that is Allred/ Munchin light but Latino that also hunts and can look authentic doing so like Gov Ann whilst quoting George Straight with Flaco Jimenez endorsement.

That, and if we're being completely honest there are way too many who are just as anti-black racist and misogynist as the worst of their non-Latino counterparts.

There's a fuckton of people like this

Our goal today is to badger my wife’s best friend into voting today.  She’ll vote for Kamala/Allred, but we just got to get her there.  Her friend is a lawyer who was out of state all last week and has been “too busy” to go early vote this week.  She’s busy but she ain’t that busy.  And the reason she is busy is because she procrastinates and is inefficient with her time, but that’s a whole other story.

If she doesn’t do it today, there is very little chance she’ll do it on Election Day.  She’ll come up with some excuse that “I can’t wait in line for 2 hours. I’m too busy.”  So my wife is texting her constantly.  There’s an underserved voting center 10 minutes from her house that isn’t busy.

And there are millions of people in Texas just like our friend who would vote D but they just haven’t prioritized voting. 

we just got confirmation of an "I Voted" sticker from our friend.  my wife kept texting and texting her all day. we didn't think she'd do it.  i think she voted just to spite my wife.  220, 221. whatever it takes.  

another vote for Kamala and Allred.  whew.

Could see this being the case, and if so as we all expected, W being the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now...

 

I could describe W many ways, hero would never be included.

Using "hero" very, very loosely, no politician is a hero. But if its true he could have came out endorsed Kamala but was either asked not to or didn't because he knew it wouldn't go over well, thats at least noteworthy/chatotic good.

Is it possible that W offered to endorse Kamala, but she declined it for fear it might alienate the far-left, leading them to stay home?

I mean, if the butcher of the browns Duck Cheney and his daughter don't already do it.

 

Speaking of... This is a solid discussion about the real quandary facing Muslims in this election. How they have a choice between the VP of the administration that is supplying Israel with bombs that are killing their family members in Gaza and Trump. Very interesting discussion on how the Harris camp has made the business decision to stay quiet on Israel and ignore the Muslim vote in Michigan. Large muslim boycott of the election can either be a fatal flaw, or let both parties know that the Muslim vote doesn't mean much.

Well, my opinion of the Green Party just got a boost.

 

Noble but she can’t withdraw a few days before the election. She’s on the ballot. RFK too, in most spots. But I hope they ostracize the fuck out of her until time ends.

csb/anecdote alert: Some neighbors came over tonight for dinner. One of the girls has been telling us for months that her parents were all in on the MAGA bs and there was zero chance her Pop would ever vote for Kamala because he's never voted for a Democrat and he's never voted for a woman in any election, presidential, or not. Tonight, she said that he told her after voting that he'd voted for Kamala. I think she almost fell over when she found out. High fives all around.

One at a time, y'all. One at a time. That's how you run up the score.

Yeah, it would have been better if that was told to her about a year ago.

The dirty truth is a ton of Mexicans living in the US are very racist against blacks. Also, they're very prejudiced against other latinos coming into the US (whether legally or illegally) because they feel it will invalidate their standing here, or ruin their ability to improve their standing. 

My wife's parents moved here from Mexico in the 1970s. Her dad and several of his brothers were illegally here for a couple of decades before becoming citizens. Her extended family in DFW, about 100+ people strong, are a mix of a few college educated sane Harris supporters and a ton of shit show low educated, ignorant, goobers. 

Mostly they vote out of prejudice and fear while being completely ignorant of the dangers maga fascist authoritarianism presents to them regardless of their citizenship status.

Glancing at a couple of national news sites, and I get really pissed when they talk about national polling numbers. The only numbers that matter (polling or in the actual election) are the state polls that then add up to the electoral college. And what bothers me the most is the simpletons who use those polls to support that the election is stolen if their candidate doesn't win (decide for yourself which idiot simps I am describing)

She could say don't vote for me, vote for Kamala and Walz. But she won't, because she's narcissistic cunt who doesn't give a shit about the environment or anyone but herself.

I completely forgot to add maybe the biggest driver of their Republican support. Religion. The poor in Mexico have been extremely susceptible to religious, especially Catholic and protestant, nuttery brainwashing for centuries. They pass that garbage down to their children, but recently many in the 50 and under generations who have strived to become educated have realized the stupidity of it all. That said, the majority still remain brainwashed and still believe Republican garbage is somehow "more Christian". Sheer delusion. 

As much as I love the culture and enjoy visiting with her family I've had to make sure my 19 and 17 yr old daughters understand their grandma and grandpa, as well as other family members, are ignorant of truth and reality. But it was born out of poverty and no access to proper scientific education and that brainwashing is something very difficult to overcome. That's been a challenge for the last decade for sure.

Man….I fucking hope so.
Well in all honesty, he has to blame someone when he gets destroyed; and it isn't like he is going to look in a mirror and suddenly figure out who is really guilty.

And also this.
It's not that we don't believe you, it's that we just don't care. No, sorry, we are actually hoping it happens. 

Bingo.

You have to remember that Trump takes no responsibility for this stuff.

So….

They really, seriously think they will be saved on Election Day because their underground messaging to male turnip supports is to vote on Election Day and not early vote.

 

They…seriously believe this?
