I have spoken to several long-term quasi-rabid Trump supporters who are completely bored of and frustrated by the focus on tired replays of “Trump’s greatest hits” when real ideas/solutions are required. One likened these rallies to watching a weak cover band trying to play songs it doesn’t enjoy.

THIS is a PHENOMENAL article that sarcastically reminds the conservative audience of the real CHASM that exists between Trumpist pandering talking points and true conservative principles. Click the links in the story for their evidence/analysis.

Here, I fixed it for Cruz: “If Abdul El-Sayed doesn’t becomes senator...there is nothing to stop Thune from placing [Cruz] on the Senate Intelligence Committee...If I am correct that he is a passionate supporter of the Trump/Netanyahu war club, there is a very real risk that Americans will die."

🧵1/2 A Tenn. Congressional Candidate (& present State Sen.) claims that this is just a case of “youthful indiscretion”—though one accusation is as recent as 2021 WHEN HE WAS 53! This is the BS old white men use to excuse their 💩 behavior and because it worked for Trump (locker room talk)—why not?

“Stolen Cheesecake Factory valor”😂😂 @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social & @timmiller.bsky.social bust Clay Travis for claiming he’s “grown up going to cheesecake factories” when they didn’t come to NASHVILLE until he was 26 Top notch sleuthing 🕵🏻♂️ , fellas. This tops Pablo’s Kawhi scoop in our book!
She said it was God’s will for her to ultimately end up with Paxton, proving that God can sometimes be cruel.
Sooo…it could’ve ended NINE MONTHS AGO?!?! But the world’s LEAST SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIST keeps thinking he’ll keep it going to enrich his family and make himself look strong (& because his bosses Putin and Netanyahu say so)?!? It can start ending November 4th!

The Cheesecake Factory chain is apparently experiencing an influx of new customers from the performative MAGA cult. Thoughts and prayers to its servers as they watch their tips nose-dive.

I’m soo glad Mr “Not-Demented” tells his not over-flowing crowd in Mississippi that he loves Texas and won it three times. When rockstars make a similar mistake on tour it becomes a viral meme.

I ALWAYS LOVE IT when these Christians demonstrate that they don’t follow their Christ: “When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they will be seen by people…they have their reward in full (Matt 6:5)

Just realized Talarico's "god is nonbinary" quip was him noting Genesis uses a feminine Hebrew word to describe God. This is the clearest example of Talarico being a PC(USA) seminarian, bc this is so commonly referenced by PC(USA) seminarians that it's a literal joke www.youtube.com/shorts/MMA1r...

I’m sorry and apologize but this BS has been SOO prevalent in the South, an area that has an uncertain relationship with quality education. I recall George Smather’s accusations that his Senate opponent was an “extrovert” and his wife was a “thespian”—words his Florida voters wildly misunderstood.
