This is an era of universal hyperbole.
Every day delivers a new banality disguised as an emergency.
Distrust your first reactions.
Begin with the assumption that you are overreacting.
Conserve your emotional energies for your real concerns. - @TheStoicEmperor

I’m calling it.
Ken Paxton is the worst candidate Republicans have run statewide in Texas since WW2.
Yes I’m piling on. But damn, Ken Paxton won less than 33% of the vote in Harris County (Houston). Even freaking Barry Goldwater got 40% against native son Texan LBJ in ‘64.

It's really a mystery how this generational talent lost by 12 points!
.@KenPaxtonTX: The future of our state and the future of our country ride on this race.

I don’t think people from outside of Texas can begin to understand just how utterly stupid it had all become in the last few years.
😂😂😂
Weed and books gotta go!!!

Liz Cheney: “I say this to my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible. There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”

🇺🇸TRUMP: "I don't understand oil price spike."
🇺🇸REPORTER: "You caused it."
🇺🇸TRUMP: "How?"
🇺🇸REPORTER: "You waged a war, Hormuz has been closed for 8 months, and you said you'd finish it in 48 hours."
🇺🇸TRUMP: "Get lost, fake news."
LMAOOO that reporter cooked him 😭

🚨 JAMES TALARICO WON MORE VOTES IN EARLY VOTING ALONE THAN KEN PAXTON RECEIVED IN THE ENTIRE ELECTION.
Read that again.
Talarico's early votes: 4,397,474
Paxton's TOTAL votes: 4,249,373
That's 148,101 more votes before Election Day ballots were even counted.
ABC News reports the figures came from the Texas secretary of state.
Talarico's early-vote total alone exceeded Paxton's entire reported total, including Election Day.
The election wasn't officially decided before Election Day. But in hindsight, Talarico already had enough votes to win it.
Figures reflect reported, not certified, election returns.

Nothing quite like being lectured about how much money I supposedly have by a woman in her twenties married to a multimillionaire 30 years her senior.

Texas doesn’t have state income tax.
What it DOES have is a property tax bill that resets every year based on whatever your home is “worth now.”
Mine went up $3,800 in a single year.
I didn’t get a raise. My house didn’t get bigger.
The state just decided it needed more money.
At least california is honest about robbing you.

Zohran Mamdani’s been mayor for almost a year. So where’s the fucking Sharia law, MAGA? How many times does Fox News have to scare the shit out of you over nothing before you realize they’re making money off your stupidity?

The day after the midterms, the stock market went up. Trump took credit.
Today, the market crashed. Trump blames Democrats.
Imagine still taking this narcissistic buffoon seriously

Friendly reminder: The Big Beautiful Bill was written, passed, and signed by REPUBLICANS! 218 Republican votes in the House, 50 in the Senate, with JD Vance breaking the tie! NOT ONE Democrat voted for it!
Trump signed it into law July 4, 2025! So when the consequences hit…DON’T blame Democrats! Good day!
