2026 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

No question Paxton is a flawed candidate. However, right on cue the democrats nominate an absolute loon.

His declaring there are more than two genders says it all.

Then in TX he declares he is for open borders and hates Christianity.

If you prefer stupid that is OK with me.

It would be nice to see full quotes, in context, related to that. I suspect the way you heard/repeated it is not the whole story. Even if accurate, he's better than Paxton in ways that go past simple policy. Anyway, if he really said it, I'm sure there are lots of videos.

I have seen clips of him .

Also, he has boasted about being vegan. I could care less about that, but it is not politically savy in TX.

I don't need to refute it. There's been no evidence that he said either of those things, and certainly no context in which he might have. To save you a little time or effort, I looked. Couldn't find any direct quote from any source including with AI help where he said either.

Why is it we provide you with quotes, links, videos etc. and you never ever do the same?

Instead you tell us how you feel or what you think with no credible sourcing.

Says a lot about MAGA.

That would be the least offensive thing he's done. Be creative, America's worst AG was impeached by his own GQP.

Seriously, SoupySales is siding with Paxton here?! How deplorable.

CNN/NYT poll - Ken Doll and Talarico are tied at 47%.

Supes, as well as I, should know that there is very little real in politics. It's a game of smoke and mirrors, perceptions, and rhetoric. So for me, whether it's my guy or your guy, if there's no documentation, s/he didn't say it. And "documentation" isn't third party paraphrasing.

Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Expands Access to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

Opps, baaad MAGAt. :naughty:

TACO?

Who's TACOing first?

Donald Trump recently claimed to be the 'father of IVF' during public appearances. This statement has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about his administration's policies regarding reproductive technologies.

Context of the Claim

Trump made this assertion during a Fox News town hall, stating, "I’m the father of IVF" when asked about in vitro fertilization
.
He also referred to himself as the "fertilization president" at a Women's History Month event, emphasizing his administration's efforts to support reproductive health
.

I'm wondering if we'll see a sudden TACO in order to sacrifice IVF parents on behalf of the worst AG in the nation.
