Serious question: has Vance been out there much on this one?
His job, such as it is, is usually to put a public, relatively normal face on the admin’s policies, sanewash on Fox News, publicly scold liberals for not getting it.
… And I feel like, he hasn’t been out there much this week on the war.

Like, it's hard to know what's going to happen, and primary≠general, but... it's not entirely impossible that despite the mid-decade gerrymander, Texas ends up having a Congressional delegation with the exact same partisan makeup as the current one.

Texas House Primary Election 2026 Live Results See live results from the 2026 Texas House primary election as Republican and Democratic votes are counted by candidate and county.

So, I was looking at the district-by-district numbers, and there are a couple of the new Texas congressional districts that were clearly drawn to be Lean R but where *more* people voted in the Dem primary than the GOP one. πŸ‘€

My main problem was with the boat family. We’re supposed to sympathize with them but I immediately wanted the dad, the older daughter, and the boyfriend to become raptor food from their very first scene and nothing that happened ever changed that.

So, I know you said earlier you think there's nothing pathetic about posting from a burner because you got too mad online, and I don't know who told you that, and I am sorry they lied to you.
But creating a second one minutes later to do it again? 😬 I think even you know you're struggling here, bud.

"Touch grass" has become a cliche, but I really do encourage outdoor exercise. It's really fantastic for improving your emotional regulation, and providing some perspective that can help you reorient things when you're making embarrassing choices.
Get well soon!

Look, I'm gonna block you in a sec but I just want you to know, you're never gonna beat the "just another boring garden variety homophobe" rap when you use words like "degenerate."
It's why Ken blocked you. It's the language of tedious losers, and a clear sign that you aren't worth the attention.

My guy, you've created a burner account to get mad online about a week-old article.
Talk to me from main like an adult, or never talk again about "psycho behavior," the lack of self-awareness is humiliating for you.

This is dumb for a lot of reasons, not least of which is, if anything the 20th Century project regarding the Robin Hood myth was to *de-Marxify* it.
The Disney Robin Hood gives lip service to "rob from the rich and give to the poor," but his main thing is fighting against "high taxes!"

See Ken, this isn't about your "sexuality." It's about what you find *sexually attractive.* It's not that being gay somehow is immoral or bad, it's just that being a man who finds a male attractive is weird and creepy.
It's ~fine~ to be gay, just as long as you never acknowledge it!

β€œIf you purge the military leadership of Christian nationalists, there’ll be nobody left!”
I’m sorry, it’s a country of a third of a million people with the largest military in the world by far, it is a statistical impossibility that there isn’t someone equally capable. These people are replaceable.

Woke 2 needs to come with some major institutional purges.
Any person with a government job, including/especially in the military, who seriously talks in the workplace about any kind of β€œprophecy,” religious or otherwise, is mentally unfit and cannot be allowed to cash a taxpayer-funded paycheck.

β€’ Footage from the film β€” the same that was used for its poster β€” was used in the 1990 television special The Earth Day Special during a sequence in which Dr. Emmett Brown from the Back to the Future shows Doogie Howser, M.D. what the Earth's future looks like unless
something is done about pollution.

The national political press hasn't had to cover Texas Dem elections in a long time, and the laziness with which they are covering this one suggests they resent having to actually do it.

Like a perfect baton pass in a relay race, it is almost satisfying to see the way that Austin transitions seamlessly from the end of cedar season to the start of β€œall the other shit I’m also allergic to” season.
