A former colleague of mine shared this opinion, and I really agree with it. Tarrant County, Texas, is/was the last red urban county in Texas. The special election earlier this year, where there was a surprise Democrat win, and the large Democrat turnout in the primaries, have scared the GOP, and that is why they are working even harder than usual to suppress votes. Things could happen here in Texas.

Also, I believe the new attack on Talarico is that he had a relationship with his Chief of Staff. Neither was married, and it was consensual. Paxton should not throw any rocks.

BTW, Nolan Wells is still waiting for justice.

Trump claims War Powers Act reset on July 16 so on Sep 14 (60 days later) when they all return (Mitch?) they better shut this illegal war down

Yes, BR., MITCH?......Why the fuck is it so easy to hide a senator? And why was Tillis poking around in Mitch's garage? And why the Fuck has the lame stream, just let this go?

Senate is back in session on Sep 14 so the Where’s Mitch story will pick up again. Now they need to hide him or Gov Beshear will challenge the state law on 17th Amendment grounds.

Hey BR., Pretty easy to hide a dead guy.

Oh or maybe their plan is to send someone in, in an early Halloween costume. And challenge the Dems to find out if it's Mitch under the grim reaper outfit.

The Government has become an Onion headline.

Thank you, Manu Raju, for doing your job. Love the journalistic push back when Teeny Tiny Johnson tries to defend his treason. See that, the rest of you block of cheese journalists jonesing for access...THAT is what journalists are supposed to do...demand the truth.

Garrett Graff's article on the first 17 minutes of 9/11 brought what happened that morning back brilliantly. I remember my sister calling me to frantically tell me to turn on the tv. Unimaginable tragedy.

I can’t watch much of what happened that day. My daughter got off the train in the basement of WTC 1 just as the first plane hit. From that time until 8:30 that evening, I didn’t know whether she was alive or dead. She did get out, but it still brings the terror back to both of us.

I’ll never forget that day! I was the nurse manager at a public health clinic. We had a tv in the lobby but no cable hook up. Within minutes of the attack the cable went live and the tv was on as we watched the twin towers burning. That was followed by the fear of anthrax and me stocking up on Cipro, emergency planning meetings and more 😢🇺🇸

Hey BL., Thank you for being boots on the ground that awful day & weeks that followed.

We here at Cynic Central remember exactly where we were and what we were doing.

And then frantically trying to find out if our friends in NYC were OK....

Scotty, "Beam me up", is not referring to the stuff Canadians won't buy because the regime is insane, and you need to lay off it. There wouldn't be any impact to Russian refineries if your administration had stepped in and ended the war. By the way, is it Day One yet?

RIP Pierre Damas Bel. Tragic. More blood on the Trump Regime's hands.

Thank you for the AP piece on vaccines. I always get my COVID vaxx in Oct. I was concerned with the safety of the current flu & covid vaxx under Kennedy & current FDA. This article clears that up!

Mercedes's avatar

Please keep in mind that COVID cases are on the rise in the states. I’m getting my vaccine on Friday!

Maybe, just maybe...Jeffries should have had his "secret" meeting with his caucus rather than cadaver boy Kushner.

I've always wanted Jamie Raskin as speaker...We here at Cynic Central...actually respect and trust this Rep.

Just ‘unsubscribed’ from Marie’s newsletter/begging for cash emails, in the reasons I wrote “because you are a traitor to our cause”

Pretty sure a child born in the US does not have to prove any citizenship info ab out his/her parents when applying for a passport.

io bonini's avatar

I don't know about that CR., They didn't used to have to do that, but maybe the newest EO from Poop box squishy Pants has made that a thing now....lol

Sharon C's avatar

Yes, Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House has power to stop an illegal war of choice. You control the Purse, you could cut funding immediately if you gave a damn about military lives and extended deployments.

Rahm Emmanuel was on the briefing with Jen peaking last night and was a f-ing asshole! Jen was wayyyyyy tooooo polite to him ( her old boss). Not cool. She should have stood up to his bullshit!

Hey C., Just LOLOLOL...on the hating Siri.

Remember when Howard Stern said something like: politics is for people not attractive enough to be actors? The people in this regime, with their reality shows, seem to be proving his point.

All those creepy assholes at FOX News are lying about their feelings about AOC! They are so hot for her it’s unbelievable! Especially Laura Ingraham when she described Alexandria as having “raven hair and ruby red lips” 👄

io bonini's avatar

Yes BL., Remember when they kept posting the video of her dancing? I mean give me a break.

HOLY SHIT I *never* thought I'd see a news story about Emporia-fucking-KS - let alone for it to pop up in TODAY'S BIG STUFF!!! Unfortunately, I grew up in that garbage town.

Let's hope KansASS does the right thing and votes Hamilton in.

Mike Phelan's avatar

I had some of the best 7 years of my life in Emporia getting a four year degree. Worked at “The Beef” too (not the best place to work, for sure) and later on in their hospital. Happy to see the place and the candidate get positive writing in today’s news letter.

WhoopDeeDoo Basil's avatar

Wow, that's crazy! I do fondly remember going to ESU football games as a kid. My dad got his teaching degree there and I was born at Newman. In fact, I grew up a few houses down from the hospital on Oak street. We would build sled ramps and snow forts out of the huge piles of snow that got made when their parking lot got plowed. My step-dad worked at The Beef for years and years, not sure how he could stand it. I can still remember how bad he smelled when he got home from work.

Glad you escaped!
