I say we tally up all the times JD Vance has brought up the subject of transgender kids in public and all the times Talarico has brought it up to see exactly which one's hard drive we need to inspect.

New video shows Ken Paxton meeting with the goblin king mere hours before the goblin hordes descended on North Texas suburban communities. Even so, experts are hesitant to suggest this will sway McKinney voters to the Talarico camp.

Do I think Trump is a Nazi? No. His animal brain doesn’t permit him to claim anything so specific. But his governing instincts are clearly fascist and his electoral success has culled actual Nazis out from society’s wretched little crevices and into the open.

This right wing ratfucking effort is blowing up over on X and will almost certainly be all over Fox and other outlets tomorrow. Steven Miller and Benny Johnson are already pushing it. Two "journalists" claim to have called a rehab center in Ohio who told them that Talarico checked out recently.

In 1987 Pat Buchanan astutely remarked that "the greatest vacuum in American politics is to the right of Ronald Reagan." That is where the GOP now is. So let’s see where they’re headed…i.e. towards the abyss to the right of Trump. Take Jesse Kelley’s respect for Trump’s “restraint” as an example.

I sympathize and admire Trump's restraint. He's a man with reverence for the office and he wants things to return to normal. He believes his good conduct can help that along.
He's dead wrong, of course. Communists only understand fear and pain.
But still, I admire it.

I worry about this though because CBP seems to be pretty fundamentally rotten, and I’m unsure that the agency is really salvageable (as opposed to DoJ, which is wounded but not completely infiltrated by fashy types)

Paul Sullivan @suman1.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
This strikes me as a valid reason for “sending troops to the border” and then keeping them there until we can create a functioning alternative to CBP (though I think inevitably we’ll have to build it on the infrastructure that’s already there).

from 2001. no one’s doing product testimonials like this anymore. t.co/PEswCtbEZz
Toyota's unease at being associated with the Taliban and Al Qaeda is evident. In its September statement, the company said,
'Toyota does not have a sales or distribution channel in Afghanistan, and we do not export vehicles to that country."
Somewhat less laconic was Wade Hoyt, Toyota's spokesman in New York, who put the best corporate spin on the situation this week.
"It is not our proudest product placement," he said. "But it shows that the Taliban are looking for the same qualities as any truck buyer: durability and reliability."
