Without a doubt. Her name or her nickname that puts a new meaning to antibiotic-resistant pathogens, would require several extra inches of bumper sticker space, and probably confuse the typical dumb shit MAGA voter. Can't see the racist hypocritical GOP embracing Scott on the ballot especially when they're still losing their feeble minds over Obama.

The drive to hold onto power no matter what is all that these people have. It's baffling watching half a dozen people compete to be seen with this guy in public! This dude would have been a political disaster any time before Obama.

Racists, however, couldn't cope with the idea that the black guy did better than the 43 white guys before so they were willing to look for the most racist person they possible could.

Which was great - millions died, trillions of dollars were burned or stolen, national security secrets were sold left and right, dozens of US covert operatives slain, and the country took a nosedive in every category that mattered.

But holy shit did they show those libs how a white man can do (poorly.)

Oh, what a silly goose! I forgot to mention the subject that got me the scolding from that sincere reader. Facing the Hurricane Katrina of shit that is the Dobbs decision, I decided to pose as a concerned voter who was uncertain about Hillary, and who never ever could have anticipated the reversal of Roe. Why, it was established law! Guess I should have made my sarcasm more apparent. And I guess I should get over it, it was eight years ago. I guess I’ll get over it...how about NEVER!

You express my feelings about the loss of Roe v Wade!! I was 23 & a staunch Feminist in 1973. I was so happy to have that & the potential of getting the ERA ratified. Never did I imagine this shit show of rights being chiseled away. I’m so angry, bitter, & at times depressed.

I wonder when the $5 million of the first case will be paid to E. Jean. The $83.3 is going to take longer. He might still convince some bank in the world to let him have a bond for 110% of $83.3 million, in order to appeal the second case.

I wonder in part because Trump is attempting to defame her indirectly through such people as Rudy Colludy Guiliani and Elise Streptococcus. So I wonder if E. Jean has enough $$$$$$$ to go after them for defaming her, too.

All they have left is hate. No ideas, no integrity, no character. They have forgotten why they were elected. We are watching in real time what was a major political party dissolve into laughable nothingness. And we’re seeing what happens to our society when education isn’t valued. 🤦‍♀️

And we’re AGAIN seeing what happens when a sizable percentage of a formerly great nation throws in with a cult leader repeating a fable they like to hear over and over again, until they believe it without question. When I say again I’m looking at you, 1930s Germany.

Oh, and he will fucking lose. Then it'll be like Germany after WWII, where it was all "Nazis? We were never Nazis. I suppose there may have been some over in the next village..."

Impossible. Slanders isn't "hot" enough for him.

Won't be a hottie. He's not getting overshadowed like McCain did with Palin. My vote - white woman. Probably Midwest because that vote is not a given. Middle aged. Non threatening to Middle American women like a young hottie would be. Probably not Noem- she's kind of disappeared after Corey. Definitely religious and wears it on her sleeve. Someone who's not mouthy like Lake, Mace or Greene. Once again, he's not having attention taken away from him. There's Blackburn in TN or Sanders in Ark. Not really Midwest, but close enough. Or the pig castrator in Iowa. Perfect. White, military, not flashy, religious Joni Ernst. It won't be someone from the West. Michele Fiore from Vegas is even too trashy and stupid for him. Definitely will not be someone who is black, particularly a black woman because they are trying to make sure they put him in prison. His racist cult will not vote for a black person because even though many of them are dumber than dirt, both parties know that whomever is VP in 2025 may end up president due to Biden's and Trump's age. Horrors upon horrors. Another black man who dared to wear a tan suit.

Trump is teetering on the brink mentally, physically and emotionally (insofar as a psychopath can be), and his criteria for a VP is a danger. He, not Biden, could well not make it for the next four years. Something more to worry about.

IDK, I’m pretty sure that if you live in a foreign country, as an ex-pat but still a citizen, you still get your SS checks. If you become a citizen of Texas the country and either do not or cannot have dual citizenship, I think you might lose it. Medicare and Medicaid would be gone though.

As to E. Jean, rape does not mean 'type' of victim, it means, the Raper has power over the Rapee. Rape is about power and nothing else. It's not sex. 'Type' has nothing to do with it.

plus, which i haven't heard the press point out, has he ever said, "I would never rape a woman"?

No, he just says she's not my type. So, that pretty much says, that he only rapes women who are his type. Fucking PIG, sorry pigs.

Expand full comment

You're right! I have never heard him say, "I would never rape a woman" By saying she's not his type, that puts it into consensual sex, and he would never consider consensual sex with the woman who looks like his ex-wife Marla Maples. He actually made a remark in one interview where men have raped women for millions of years. Yeah? So what? You're right, he's a Star Farking Pig!

I wouldn't put it past him to have constructed a bunker he could survive a nuclear war in by now. He doesn't live in the Governor's residence -- in fact, one of his biggest problems with Austin (aside from all the libs who live here and the laws that prohibited stores from using throwaway plastic bags -- something he got the lege to nullify as soon as he took office) is that the city came after him for cutting down some venerable old-growth trees in his new yard, in contravention of Austin's laws against such acts. He does tend to hold a grudge.

Those of us on Jeff’s stack don’t mean to disparage the great Democratic, Liberal, & Progressives in Texas, but we sure need to hear from ya’ll a lot more, & louder please. I was born in Uvalde & raised within 20 miles of there until I married at 16 & moved away. I have family in Seminole, San Angelo, Kerrville, & Seguin; unfortunately all of them are magats & voted for Trump & we’re jubilant at the Dobbs decision. But so pissed at them for that, I can barely speak. I sent my very Christian nephew an article about Kate Cox & told him “Hope your proud of yourself” I have decided I’m not setting foot back in Texas until the folks who do still live there get it together & force their state govt to change course. I just can’t in good conscience spend a dime of my money there.

I will contribute to D campaigns to try & help. I’ve been a monthly donor to Colin Allred since I learned he was running against Cruz.

I’ve lived in NM for the last 34 yrs & love it. I sincerely wish all the progressive activists all the best, hope you’re able to make progress.
