I'm just a working-class left-of-center leaning guy (in a very red-state) who pays close attention to national and international political news and events. Normally pretty laid back, but what's happening these days isn't even close to normal.

Trump Bought Netflix Debt Amid Paramount’s Fight for Warner Bros. New financial disclosures released Wednesday show that the President acquired Netflix bonds as Paramount was trying to pry WBD away from the streaming giant.

The Grifter in Chief is at it again.

He doesn't just deserve to be impeached for this kind of shit. He needs to be sent to prison for it.

Equador has done an 'If you can't beat them, join them' and partnered with the US military to help make sure they don't get Venezuela'd/Iran'd.

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

Talarico wins Democratic nomination for Texas Senate seat; Republicans set for runoff Sen. John Cornyn will face Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a May runoff. The winner will face James Talarico, a seminarian and state lawmaker who's emerged as a rising Democratic star.

Cornyn edged him out, but Crooked Paxton gets another chance at it in a runoff.

Hopefully they both now go scorched earth and leave whoever is left standing hobbled in the general.

Crockett was my fave, but Talarico stands the best chance to peel off conservative votes. Congrats and game on!

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Son Emerges as Leading Choice to Be His Successor

NEW: The Ayatollah’s son is the leading candidate to replace Khamenei. β€œIf he is elected, it suggests it is a much more hard-line Revolutionary Guard side of the regime that is now in charge.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/w...

Fuck Cornyn too but ANYONE would be better than Paxton. That MFer's even more crooked than Trump & co.

Yeah, BUT that crooked MF'er is going to get another shot at it because TX is a runoff state and neither he nor Cornyn will hit 50% threshold.

So Paxton will get another chance in a runoff to see whether he or Cornyn can get more of the spoiler votes Hunt got.

They call the Department of Defense the Department of War, but then say their war isn’t a war because it’s preemptively defensive.

There's also some BS happening around the Dallas votes.

I completely forgot TX is a runoff state, so Hunt is playing spoiler in that Cornyn and Paxton, neither of which looks to be able to get to that 50% threshold to avoid it'll then face a runoff.

So Paxton will be getting another chance decided by who can get more of the votes that went to Hunt 😬

I don't know if the larger counties coming in later will be enough to push her over, but I do expect that gap should start to close some.

Sucks to see Talarico leading Crockett in Crockett county though.

Good to see Cornyn leading Paxton. Hope that holds. ANYONE is better than Paxton.

Maybe, but it aint over yet. I'm not seeing anyone calling it yet.
Crockett is leading Talarico in the larger cities.

Dallas 0% in
El Paso 0% in
Baxar (San Antonio) 0% in

Remember this?

A million people died, an entire society was destroyed in a War based on a complete lie.

I may not get AOC this time, just as I didn't get Bernie in 2020, and that's OK. I still fully supported Hillary in Nov, just as I'll do again with whoever the Dem party nominee is 2028.

AOC isn't a third party though. The Dem establishment doesn't have reason to do what they did to Bernie.

It's AOC or bust for far-left Democrats in 2028 Far-left Democrats see no clear alternative to carry forward Bernie Sanders' wing of the party.

AOC is extremely popular on the left though. Way more so than many realize. More than Bernie was.

If she runs I'll support her throughout the primaries, just as I did Bernie for the same reasons.

But when all is said and done, come November it's a vote for whoever is on the Democrat on the ticket.
