Kudos to MapQuest. Their link to rename Lake Ontario is hilarious. I believe that I have now successfully renamed it after myself. 🤣

Lake Diana has a nice ring to it. Congratulations.

Ontari-ari-ario!

I think that there is an international convention for the naming of international waters which Lake Ontario is. (The Gulf of Mexico, too.). This is for navigation and other purposes. It was never up to Trump to change these names.

MiddleChild's avatar

Does that mean I have to go through a whole process to rename it Lake Diana? 🤣 Bummer.

Lake Ontarioliest, the Bigliest and Bestiest 🤡

Lake Epstein or Lake Natalie get my vote. Lake Diana is also very good!

Jennifer Anderson's avatar

I had no idea they still existed. I’m going to download their app. Fuck google

MiddleChild's avatar

Make sure you get the link to change the name of Lake Ontario. It's wicked fun!

Norina Columbaro's avatar

I named it Lake Jimothy, but I like Lake Diana as well!

I'm so glad that Trump has to come to Texas to help Paxton because, as a Texan, I see more of Gina and James signs and zero Paxton and Abbott signs.

Trump has ticked many Texans off. I'm seeing a purple state in play. I'm so happy for that too.

You could go into any rundown bar, find the biggest loser there, and you have someone more decent and more qualified than Cruz for president. The only thing weaker than his spine is his integrity.

Fuck ICE. I hope someday we can return the treatment: watch them being hauled away in chains and deported to Haiti--or a prison in a country they have never heard of, because most of them couldn't find Eritrea on a map if it was painted bright orange.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

I support that: paybacks are hell, and karma is a bitch. Make it so!

Really, Jasmine Crockett can't campaign for Talarico while supporting down ballot candidates? I was once a fan. No more. Another politician who cares more about themselves. Such a disappointment.

Sam Youngman's avatar

Horseshit. Nobody is asking her to “hold his hand.”

Judith Weston's avatar

Jeez. You’re pretty dug in on this. I too wish she’d kept her seat in the House instead of running for Senate. But when someone I admire does something I don’t expect, I pay attention, cause maybe I’ll learn something.

Leslie Pruski's avatar

BTW, her seat was one that was gerrymandered.

Judith Weston's avatar

Right. I forgot that part. A specific target of Trump and Abbott. We should be uplifting her while she figures out her new path to public service.

Judith Weston's avatar

She wasn’t saying she doesn’t support Talarico! She called him “a terrific candidate.” I think she’s talking about the nitty-gritty, shoe leather day-to-day of campaigning and organizing. Appearing with him at all his events would take up more time than you may realize. And she wants to direct her energies to showing up down-ballot at the district and state level.

Sam Youngman's avatar

She literally won’t say his came, won’t say who she will campaign for and keeps doing media hits to tell everyone that nobody is excited for James. If you think that is supportive, then I’m scared to ask for your support.

Judith Weston's avatar

Hey! You don’t need to get insulting toward me—I’m a fan! With an opinion that’s different from yours. The clip you posted sounds to me like she’s talking about allocation of time. An internet search brings up innuendo similar to what you mention in your above comment. But also this—which I think gives a deeper context to her remarks. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DavVlcyxGkT/?igsi=MTdrbjlnY2RlNmhyeg==

I heard that clip that way too — that in it, she was focused on strategy and the best use of limited time. I did think that she might have missed a chance to express support of Talarico (by name), but I don’t know that she didn’t do that elsewhere in the interview. If what Sam says about her appearances in general is true — if she isn’t clearly expressing strong support for him — that would be extremely disappointing, though.

margaretgarigan's avatar

Thanks, Sam. Yeah, that all seems quite shitty. Also strikingly evasive and self-contradictory. Talarico, on the other hand, is all class at the end of the article.

Judith Weston's avatar

Yes, let’s follow Talarico’s lead. These are his words: “People need to leave the congresswoman alone. She is doing incredible work. She is a leader in our state, in our country, and she deserves the utmost respect. Anyone who claims to be my supporter who’s online talking trash about the congresswoman — they don’t represent me.”

Leslie Pruski's avatar

I've given this a lot of thought. In my opinion, James is doing okay in his race. Paxton is Trump 2.0, and James' team knows what they are doing. James has even addressed Jasmine's campaigning at an event, even supporting her decision. Her campaigning for down-ballot races also helps him. He has been improving with black voters from what I've seen from people I feel are legit in their assessments. He needs to win on his merits; a black woman doesn't need to do his work.

When Beto ran against Cruz, a lot of down-ballot success was had. The GOP worked hard on that, especially in Harris County. They went hard after all the elected black women judges a few elections back to reclaim those courts. If she can help all the other down-ballot races vote blue and raise money, then James, who is rumored to be sharing his fundraising, may have more as attacks heat up.

I truly believe Jasmine wants blue to win, bottom line.

And Fuck Tim Dunn - white Christian nationalist devil.

Todd Guthrie's avatar

If candidates should all win on their own merits, why does anyone campaign for anyone else? Crockett is choosing hands to hold, just not the one at the top of the ticket belonging to the man who defeated her.

Leslie Pruski's avatar

You make it seem like James can’t win without her. That makes him look weak and the GOP will use that against him. He’s a great candidate and can win and if she can help turn other portions of Texas blue, let her do it. The blue Texas can be the better. I think James has already improved his chances with black voters. Jasmine’s probably not going to help him win over white males in this state. Too many of them are raciest and misogynistic.

Cheryl Foster's avatar

Excellent article Adam and Sam! I just stopped laughing at what you said about the CLOWN-IN-CHIEF!! I've been saying this for 10 years- TRUMPY IS VERY BADLY DAMAGED WHICH IS EVIDENT EVERY DAY! Have a great weekend as well !

Remember that he, and Natalie, have the nuclear codes. Scary stuff. Take the binkies away, please

io bonini's avatar

No shit...vfatp., And the rest of this shit show, by now I'm thinking he;'s sold them to anyone and everyone..why the hell not. Putin, Xi Mbs...Kim? surely.

Judith Weston's avatar

I appreciate you guys, I do, but I listened to Jasmine Crockett’s remarks in the clip you posted, and I think you’ve misinterpreted them. I don’t exactly understand why you’re disappointed in her, but I’m glad she’s staying engaged in Texas politics in whatever way she feels she can be most effective.

Nick Sharpe's avatar

Yeah! where's the beef? as far as I can tell she's doing the hard work!

io bonini's avatar

"this nation should be ashamed ".....

Hey Sam & Adam and all you SP's out there....that quote pretty much sums it all up right there.

sigh....

Go Canada, if you haven't seen this or heard this song...it's brilliant, made me sad, and smile.

Hi guys, just so you know. You are no longer automtically found when I search “adam”. It used to show you, Mockler and Kinzinger, but no more.. thought you should know. Love u guys!

The Loser-in-Chief is busy doing anything other than "presidenting." His fellow Losers and Mega Grifters are buoyed by his silly toddler games. The other Losers love the dopamine hits they get every day from their fellow Loser as they joyfully chant "nah nah nah nah poo poo" as they are sure they've just made a Lib cry. Wait til Natalie comes up with renaming the Atlantic the Mar-a-Lago Ocean, and for Kegseth we'll rename the "woke" Pacific the BELLIGERANT OCEAN.

LMAO! Ice goons zapping their own little peckers off 🤣! They never had that “big dick energy” just tiny little limp dicks wearing masks! Bunch of degenerate fucking cowards 🖕🏻

Howard_The_Nut_:Licker's avatar

Brain Drain: You know how Trump hates smart people and colleges, and he’s trying to destroy both because he wants Americans to be stupid and easily controlled? Well Canadais going the other way.

All this dumb orange mother fucker has to do is hire Elizondo Commacho as his Vice President and the prequel to Idiocracy will write itself.

Ted Cruz, rhymes with Lose. What a dolt!

Alanna Timmons Pugh's avatar

Thank you guys! Everyday I wake up with dread and then I read your posts- makes my day. Laughter is way better than crying. I am sad about the Jasmine Crockett thing. I would have been happy if she won. But I was really hoping she’d help Talarico.
