There’s only 1 reason to have taken 3 cognitive tests and not being able to stop talking about it.

Fraser's avatar

Yup, cause he's on his way to 10.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

First of all, Talarico is not vegan. He loves his Texas Ribs. What's wrong with veganism anyway? I didn't realize it is a mortal sin. Is it? 🤔

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

The entire Paxton campaign is going to be lies and slander of Talarico.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Yes, of course it is. We need to brace ourselves.

Mike Hammer's avatar

Ironically, only the brain dead will react.

Marcia Kelly Illingworth's avatar

It's not, but MAGAts link being vegan to being liberal, and we all know that's a sin! (Not!]

Mike Hammer's avatar

Imagine if he were kosher vegan. 😂

Punkette's avatar

In Texas, it is a mortal sin. Real Texans eat meat, dammit! Big hunks of it, barely cooked and bloody, tearing it apart with their strong canine teeth. Preferably from an animal they killed themselves. Like cavemen! /s ☺️

DIsclaimer: Yes, I am a vegan, and I grew up in Texas so I know that macho type very well.

Karen D's avatar

That's exactly what MAGA means - the "again" part means back to caveman times.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Ewwww I just got a mental image of that! 🤣 Pigs! I'm vegan too but grew up in California. I was never really a meat eater to begin with, my mother could never get me to eat meat as a kid. It must have been my destiny. 😉

Punkette's avatar

It was, my vegan sister! 🌱 Hug!

May Lee's avatar

There are only two food groups in Texas - beef and beer.

Punkette's avatar

Lol! True that 😂

Mike Hammer's avatar

Maybe Texans are really Marlboro Men wannabes that turned to cannibalism.

LHS's avatar

It's apparently Satanic. /s

Tracy Loftsgaarden's avatar

If that's not Satanic, being an 8th generation Texan who doesn't eat barbecue certain satanic. Those funny Texas.

io bonini's avatar

Hey JG., Of course it is...along with trans gender and the word Hillary and chocolate covered green M&M's in high heels and black people and Women and Science and ethics and the word blue and wind farms and the word environment any brown skin and vegetables.....

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Well, that about sums it up then! 😂

Mike Hammer's avatar

You only need to look at the audience to get that answer.

Diane in Ohio's avatar

If that's all they have, they are in real trouble because Paxton has a lot of baggage. Of course, Republicans elected Paxton how many times, as well as Trump, so who knows.

May Lee's avatar

Being a crook is valued over any other attribute by the voting public in Texas.

ramonaj's avatar

They have nothing else. It is pathetic.

Fraser's avatar

Apparently not manly Joanne like.......TACOS!!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

You can always slip a vegan taco in and they wouldn't know the difference. 😜

Punkette's avatar

Haha! I make tacos with plant-based chorizo, fried up nice and crispy in my cast-iron skillet. Yummy! 😋

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Mmmmm...that sounds nice. I have never tried plant-based chorizo.

Roxy Copenhagen's avatar

I hope that everyone becomes vegan someday. We don't need to eat animals to survive or thrive, which makes it selfish and murder. However, I believe that it's important that Talarico isn't vegan at this time, because many Americans won't vote for a man who doesn't eat animals; crazy but true. I live in Denmark 🇩🇰 and Talarico has managed to impress me - he seems like a great guy and a very promising politician.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I like him too, Roxy. I'm not in Texas (thankfully) but if I were, I would vote for him. I think more people might turn to veganism before too long with the costs for meats. It's healthier for sure and less expensive unless you're buying the plant-based meat substitutes. I agree, it is murder and it makes me sad to think of these poor animals being slaughtered for human consumption. By the way, I love and respect Denmark. 🇩🇰

Grant Rowson's avatar

Next, they'll be saying he's "Not 'Merican/Texan" because he doesn't wear a Stetson, or cowboy boots, or _____ ;-)

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Hahahaha!!! More than likely. I'm waiting for it.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Milli Vanilli, huh. I thought they were frauds? Oh right. That's fitting to perform at the UFC fight then. Carry on.

Jennifer Kass's avatar

You took the words literally out of my mouth! I literally laughed out loud when I read that. And how on earth is Milli Vanilli going to perform? They didn't sing their songs, and one of them has committed suicide. The clown show just gets stupider by the day.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I'm sorry 🤣 Exactly!! They lip synced and yes, one of them is dead. The remaining fraudster is German?

ramonaj's avatar

That is the lamest line up for a show I have ever seen.

May Lee's avatar

I'm thinking that most of them will pull out last minute because even these crappy acts have a tiny shred somewhere of self preservation. Did you see that there? Pull out?

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

What do expect? They are all washed up entertainers, they need the money.

LHS's avatar

Holograms! They'll use Holograms of the dead one. 🤪

May Lee's avatar

Somebody will figure out a hologram to fill in the duo. I can't wait to see the attendance at this romp through the swamp.

Donna Maurillo's avatar

Same thought I had when I read their name...

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Great minds! 😉

Teri Gelini's avatar

😂😂😂😂

Mary Anne L. Graf's avatar

"I’ve been eating barbecue since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment." ROFL!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

That was a good one, for sure. 🤣 Go, Talarico!! 👏

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

Congratulations to Canada on making decisions to strengthen itself and lessen reliance on American companies.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Yes, it gave me a great big smile 😃

I wish there was a way for any average American who isn't a Trump supporter to respond occasionally to each of his fairytale, dementia-laced tales. I don't have any solutions on how to save democracy other than massive boycotts or strikes and turn the tides on the billionaires by turning off the cash flow, but it's frustrating not to have a source to combat every verbal piece of shit that spews from the moron-in-office's anal shaped mouth.

Maybe somehow he will hear about it. Psychology tells me that releasing emotions is incredibly beneficial. It prevents physical and mental buildup, allows your nervous system to reset, and helps you process challenges instead of letting them linger, so here goes:

"Obama and Biden both have law degrees. Do you asshole? Both helped reduce the national deficit. What have you done asshole? Raised it to the point of no return. Both have offered programs to help their constituents. What have you done in Iran? Cost taxpayers over 25 billion dollars for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. YA GOT NOTHING TO SHOW FOR YOUR EFFORTS except 13 lost lives. You had a detention center in Florida that cost over 700,000 per 1,400 of the immigrants housed there! You moron! You spent more holding them, and negated the taxes that they contributed to the treasury for a NET NEGATIVE GAIN! Why don't you show your transcripts and your taxes if you have nothing to hide? Until you show your transcripts, none of us believes you actually graduated college."

Now, because that same psychology tells me that constructive criticism should always include something positive, here goes. "You have done a very good job of leading the US to help bring out your seventh bankruptcy. You are absolutely the best person to run any decent functioning business into the ground. You are also excellent at spewing hatred, racism, misogyny and xenophobia among your followers. You're doing a great job ruining the planet and refuting science, despite having children and grandchildren of your own who will also suffer the consequences. If your goal was to be the most despised person on earth...guess what you win."

I believe that you can set up an account on Truth Social and reply directly to Trump's account.

Camille Kelly's avatar

Wouldn't I get blocked after the first use of the word asshole? 🙂

Kathie Punturiero's avatar

I would like to be able to afford a lawyer to sue him for the stress and mental anguish he has caused for so many of us.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

That's what I'm saying! I'm right there with you.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Oooooo! I want to go off on him! Even if you get blocked, your comment would be there forever. The internet keeps it forever.

Wendy B.'s avatar

Well, maybe try using really long, subtle insults.

Karen D's avatar

I don't think the maga crowd understands subtlety. It goes completely over their heads.

Camille Kelly's avatar

Hmm, that's not fun.

Fraser's avatar

Yes, keep him erasing stuff at 2am:)

Suel J's avatar

Really. Hmm

Mia's avatar

It also helps to swear a lot while voicing these emotions!!🤣

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I have no problem doing that 🤭

Penny Thibeaux's avatar

Thank you for saying everything I feel needs to be said. Wish Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'DONNELL would read this to the masses.

You are an exceptional writer

Thank you thank you thank you

Keep writing

Chris's avatar

Wow - what a boring musical line-up! That's not even the real Milli Vanilli - one of the two guys passed away years ago. Shouldn't something like this be the best of America instead of people beating the crap out of each other followed by some mediocre music?

Mia's avatar

👏👏👏👏

Tracy Loftsgaarden's avatar

sounds par for the course!

May Lee's avatar

this IS the best of TRUMP's America

Danene Baucom's avatar

Stellar line-up all right! What happened to Kid Rock? No Village People?

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I was thinking that same thing. "Stellar line-up" 🤣 That made me laugh when I read your comment.

Antoinette's avatar

They're all at the YMCA.

Holding a ton of UNO Cards is a Serious Loss as Taking more than one Cognitive Test Means You’re Going to Die Soon . Thank You DJT You’ve Told Us A Lot. But we already knew Your Brain Dead soon your Ass will Follow! Today ?

VictoriaRN's avatar

What a fabulous musical line-up for America's 250th Anniversary! Springsteen and Paul McCartney must have already had previous engagements lined up. Maybe Milli Vanilli can lip sync "God Bless the USA!" I suppose "Ice, Ice, Baby" is fitting, though...

Fraser's avatar

Probably have Tom Daly there selling Trump's hole-in-one t-shirts! (Imaginary)

Edward mead's avatar

Friends, stop Trump from rolling back History to only suit Donald Trump. Trump doesn't want the truth being told about how bad Trump was as President. Trump wants History to delete History from January 06.2021,

Crooked and Dishonest, lying, Trump also wants all to not know about Trump trying to steal $1,766 Billion from the US Treasury Dep. Trump doesn't want people to remember the Trump-Iran war.

Donald Trump is the worst and most dangerous person on Earth,

Donald Trump doesn't want people to remember that Trump has made the USA almost a third-world nation, because of Trump's hair-brained changes to USA Policys.

Birds Of A Feather Flock Together

Why is it a surprise that Cheeto would endorse a politician who is a like minded criminal in Paxton? He's pardoned nearly 1700 criminals(most of those are J6 indicted and convicted J6'ers) but now some of the latest are indicted and convicted obvious felons many of whom are wealthy "robber barons" of the 21st century

Cheeto is more than likely thinking that his den of now loyal pardoned rich thieves will help him pull off another rigged election, this time the upcoming midterms

Besides making the abused pardon power a way to manipulate elections, the use of the pardon power is now being extended to the likes of Paxton who has escaped accountability much like Cheeto who likely admires Paxton as a clever fox....no pun intended Now that Paxton has been absolved of any wrongdoing by being endorsed by the felon in chief Cheeto is hoping that some of that absolution will rub off on him as he's been busy trying to erase the history of all of his past

Hey, what's so wrong with being an incessant liar, cheat, fraudster, and sexual predator?

Stories you're not reporting:

1. Ashley St. Clair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqkjJA_NzK4

2. The REAL 2024 election audit.

“In December 2024, I was personally involved in an NSA‑authorized forensic audit of the 2024 election. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz won—by a wide margin. Trump lost dramatically. There are multiple layers of complexity to this cover‑up, including transnational organized crime syndicates that extend far beyond the United States and our elections. To that point, I work in the human trafficking sector, which intersects with the stolen election(s) and has ties to Trump and Epstein—not to President Biden, Vice President Harris, or Governor Walz, but to the Democrats and other allied interests responsible for burying the audit.”

Dear Future GOP nominee

Remember the job comes with a set of wrinkly Balls U hv to lick & shine every day. U hv to smell his diaper & pretend it don’t stink. When he calls U a Moron & humiliate U on National stage. U still hv to treat him like a genius. When he sexually assaults U. U hv to act like yr flattered. When he lives & die like Royalty. You’ll will be the one doing time. Are U JD & Rubio material? So are U ready for surgery to remove yr Spine & Soul??

I bet every citizen who is struggling to pay rent and put food on the table is thrilled to watch this wonderful UFC stadium built for the White House with their tax $$$. (What does the UFC have to do with the founding of our country? The only connection I see is the $1,776 slush fund. [insert barf emoji])

Suel J's avatar

What the actual eff is that? Apparently no one in this regime has anything serious to do. We are at last check involved in an active WAR with Iran. In case anyone needed reminding. So our response is to have a cage fight on the lawn of the White House. With WWE war fighters lol.

Suel J's avatar

Is our esteemed dept of non education leader Linda M. going to be in prominent attendance at the cage fight? I hear it can hold 4000 spectators.
