@Kpear003 @Vu_Reports I will never vote Republican, for the rest of my entire life. I cabt wait to teach my children exactly who stood up for Republicanism and who decided money was more important.

Since losing his primary *three* days ago:
- Cassidy stated he'd vote against the $1B ballroom project
-defended his vote to convict Trump back in 2021
-signaled he'd look to hold RFK Jr. "accountable"
-called Paxton a "felon" after Trump endorsed him
- and has now voted in support of Dems' war powers resolution on Iran
The senator is entering his "Cassidy Unchained" era

Republicans have 0 idea about the Gen-Z/Millennial backlash that will be felt because of this. My generation fucking loves Massie. What a shame.

@DICEY63 @censoredshopcom @CNN Jeez, calling him illegitimate must have hurt his feelings. Imagine if she filed 60 lawsuits, lost 58 of them, whipped a mob into a frenzy and told them to join her at the Capitol to "peacefully" fight like Hell, then just watched as they defiled the crown jewel of Republicanism.

@censoredshopcom @CNN Clinton called Trump and conceded the election, and he spoke publicly about the call himself.

@CNN "Election denier"
Oh you mean like Hillary Clinton?

@mmcmahon09 @WB_Baskerville They were just as fucked up as the other kids, but I never saw a trans kid start a fight. Never had a trans kid backtalk me. Never saw a trans kid steal from their classmates. They were terrified to even be noticed.
English
@AugustHogsworth @WB_Baskerville Were the trans kids you saw mentally well-adjusted? That’s the only point I’ve been making since my original reply.
English
I find “Chud the Builder” very disturbing. Dude is young, seemingly healthy, pretty good looking, apparently has a family. The level of nihilism and soul rot it takes to essentially go around all day looking to either get killed or have an excuse to kill someone is not small.
English
@mmcmahon09 @WB_Baskerville Personally, I don't see why any man would want to be a woman. I love being a man. But my trans students, nice, bright kids, were always ruthlessly mocked for expressing themselves because of attitudes like yours. Love thy neighbor, even if you don't understand them.
English
@mmcmahon09 @WB_Baskerville I was a substitute teacher these last few years at 14 seperate schools in blue and red areas, in hundreds of classrooms, and that just isn't the case. It was a complete rarity to see an openly trans kid and usually they got the shit bullied out of them by students & staff alike.
English
@mmcmahon09 @WB_Baskerville Seems to me he wanted to get famous off of killing black people and the alt-right is largely happy to have him do it. Who gives a fuck about whether he did drag. I only care about whether or not he adds or takes from our GDP, now we're all paying for his 3 hots & a cot.
English
Yes, I agree on the point about wasting his life.
It’s really a product of social media…esp. for people with underlying mental conditions which I suspect he had since he was exploring dressing in women’s clothing for identity.
He dropped the dress for another way to create an identity and get attention.
A rational person would play out the logical outcome of walking around calling black people racist names. TBH, he might be lucky things played out the way he did (if he survives prison)…he was almost certainly going to be killed if he kept up his routine.
English
@mmcmahon09 @WB_Baskerville Idk if buddy was into drag or not tbh (I have a life outside of the internet) but if he did, he should've stuck with it and lived his truth! He's facing 20 in the pen and he shot himself in the process. Threw his entire life away for nothing. So unbelievably stupid.
English
@AugustHogsworth @WB_Baskerville So the pics of him in drag are “deepfakes”? 🧐
English
@mmcmahon09 @WB_Baskerville The guy wanted to kill black people because high school guidance counselors are transing the youth aight buddy 👍
English
@WB_Baskerville When you realize he was one high school guidance counselor visit away from transitioning to a girl, it all makes sense.
English
@CenTexLib Wrong! Beshear earned a lot of credit in Appalachia for his response to the 2022 floods. And in Louisville, after there was a mass shooting where (among others) a friend of his was killed, he didn't lose his cool. Especially after Bevin, he has been a remarkable leader for KY.
English
Beshear is only popular because the legislature constrains him.
Being a red-state Democratic governor means having it both ways.
You can espouse beliefs that go against the majority of your state, but also remain popular with them because you’ll never get to enact said beliefs.
Bush Centrist@GeorgeeWBushh
A pro abortion Democrat governor. Won twice in Kentucky, Trump won by 30+ margins. Need to think about him.

Practically begging Michigan voters not to go with El-Sayed. You are a at risk of throwing away a very winnable seat for no reason other than hubris.

@esjesjesj John Rawls put these people in a bodybag decades ago to the point they just try and ignore him entirely.
