The "vegan" menace: Talarico vs Paxton and ....

 #TXpol 


Talarico: "I have been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton's first indictment."


It's just DELICIOUS that the Grand Old Pedophiles party is terrified about they vegan menace. Definitely keep us laughing. Not looking for a job on the campaign staff. RantWoman would just go all pinko on the whole thing, promise broccoli for everyone who wants it and demand full human rights for everyone who picks broccoli. Is Paxton anti-salad on top of all his other outrages?



James Carville weighs in.




And speaking of people who have already gotten bounced or quit, what if Jasmine Crockett went on a Texas civics tour to argue about Congressional dysfunction???

Hunger Strike and protests against ICE at Delaney Hall in NJ

 #ImmigrantRights #ICE 

Delaney Hall in NJ is the ICE facility where Sen. Andy Kim was just pepper sprayed.


It is operated by the Geo Group that operates the Tacoma detention facility. RantWoman enthusiastically whatever success Gov. Ferguson has had with oversight efforts aimed atenforcing state health and safety standards at the Tacoma facility


Here is further rant / reaction to the video.


The almost 50 dead number is total in ICE custody this year.

The spin machine has BS set on maximum.

NOT amusing to hear that ICE is trying to get people to self-deport to CONTO where there is now an ebola outbreak.

Why is it "complex" to investigate how 150+ Iranian school girls got bombed.

#WarCrimes The Secretary of #WarCrimes #AdamSmith


 The Center on minimizing civilian casualties got DOGE'd. Add AI? What could possibly go wrong?

If you're confused...In search of an off-ramp.

#Israel #Iran #PeaceTalks #NuclearPower #GulfStates


Before anything else, GETTING OUT OF THE WAR ON IRAN IS NOT A FAILURE, no matter what a certain alleged ally or anyone in the media says.

So is peace breaking out?

Or will more bombs soon fall?

Will there be a timeline that AT LEAST lasts past the hajj, and even better longer???

Can everyone just ignore what President #StableGenius posts on Truth Social? 

How about we point out to anyone who says the President barely sleeps because he is up all night "working" that actually he falls asleep over and over all day because 1. He is OLD and old people are allowed to do that and 2. He stays up all night sh*tposting?

Should we all just KNOCK IT OFF about #TACO and exude effusive praise every time the PResident backs away from something REALLY STUPID?

Note: the speakers are not fuzzy headed liberal peaceniks.

RantWoman is seeing YouTube all over the map about is there a peace agreement? Or not? 


This chatter contains one set of theories. Entertaining banter with a lot of insight / realism as well as chess and movie references.

"Trump has no cards, except the bombing card, and that does not work."

Iran threat to cut all the cables in the Persian Gulf?

Trump should TAKE THE OFFRAMP

"There is no existential threat to Israel"



And because these items popped up while RantWoman was editing.

Infuriating quotes from Ted Cruz, et al.

Besides the President, RantWoman can't stand cabinet level liars.

Gunfire? Ballroom? Jesus? Mental Health????

What is President #StableGenius ballroom ballpark up to now? Something like $1 billion? How many delusional people could $1 billion cover mental health treatment for over a year? 5 years?


RantWoman asks because 1. there is too much gunfire around the President and 2. there is a wicked nexus between civilians waving guns somewhere in the President's vicinity and mental health issues. 3. Every time gunfire happens around the President, the chorus of people talking up a White House ballroom takes off. Guess where RantWoman would prefer to spend money.


Gunfire is serious.


And RantWoman is having a Bad Friend moment, a moment of both snark and gratitude.


President #Stablegenius talks about how he hires the best people. This is news to everyone observing the staggering ineptness of many cabinet members. The President is lucky though: all of his would-be assassins appear to enjoy the same level of incompetence. Note, RantWoman does NOT want more competent assassins. More mental health options might help ward off the gunfire. Maybe.


As for prayers: RantWoman is still trying to come up with a line a la Fiddler on the Roof about the tsar, er King, er...


May the Lord Bless and Keep...


Speaking of prayer: the shooter was known to the Secret Service for, among other things, claiming he was Jesus. Apparently he did not realize that at the White House the Jesus mem is already taken.


Note:

Virtually all the video reporting about the Saturday night shooting at the #WhiteHouse contain sounds of gunfire. 


Readers who need to hear more gunfire, click to your hearts' content below

.

A couple of the videos mention signs of someone, the shooter, in a mental health crisis. Curiously the speakers do not seem to be able to apply the same standards to...
