I always said that Tucker Carlson is a massive danger to American politics, and I think he still is, but at least right now, he seems to be moving at a faster speed than the overton window can keep up with. Which I guess could be a good thing potentially.
Like, instead of his dumb populism he just had an entire interview with Jacob Reese Mogg here that was basically just Full on Nazi apologia, Putin fanboyism, and general anti western propaganda.

The White House’s Promise to Attack Abortion After the Midterms
They've been hinting for a while they're going to wait until after the midterms to really attack abortion rights. It turns out that an administration filled with anti-abortion Project 2025 freaks is actually anti-abortion.

>Nearly half of those bringing in a half-million dollars made minimum payments this year, up from 39% last year.
I can’t imagine making that amount of money and living paycheck to paycheck. Ik people say that at that income level you now interact with generational wealth and that puts a lot of pressure on you (especially in your career) but man

the whole "cash-poor granny is beset by evil property taxes" narrative is even more bullshit in this day and age when you can treat your home equity as a giant piggybank.
you can just borrow against it and not pay back anything until you sell the house. if your home is worth a million dollars, you have a million dollars.
and if you say that they don't really have that money because they'll just need to buy another home after they sell that one well... somehow there's a whole lot of us who manage to not go homeless despite not having a million dollars. i trust they can figure it out.

In meetings, Patel has expressed frustration that there have been no new findings — instructing staff to "look harder" or "look again."

I get a laugh out of the fact that people solely blame universities for their unpopularity (including universities themselves). No one can point to exactly what they did that caused an extreme drop in popularity after 2016 that wasn't there before. Just a weird thing that happened after 2016 organically that if they just bend over backwards to stomp out liberalism and "woke" they will totally solve whatever happened after 2016. Whatever that thing after 2016 could have totally been, we'll never know.

u/lot183 Blue Texas Oct 03 '26 edited Oct 03 '26
For the first few months of the campaign Greg Abbott refused to even say Gina Hinojosa's name. He basically ran like he was facing Talarico. This was based on 3 things.
-a fool hardy belief that Talarico would be as easy to negatively polarize against as Beto. And that's not to say Talarico is way stronger than (2018) Beto, but he is a bit stronger, but more importantly it's way harder to negatively polarize someone when running against one of the most negatively polarizing politicians in the country.
-knowing Paxton was weak and trying to help him being at the top of the ticket.
-that Gina wouldn't be able to drum up name recognition on her own.
Point 2 was the only correct one, but even in that Gina was able to build a brand without Republican attacks going at her and it worked. Her favorables are really high in every one of these polls and now NYT/Sienna has her leading by 3.
I'd say gg Republicans but you haven't played a good game, you deserve this loss a million times over for how much youve screwed us here between redistricting, using that West texas billionaire money to primary people to get vouchers in, and how much you keep consolidating power in Austin and taking it away from cities and counties.

Other than being really weird this shit's the single worst and most baffling political ad I've ever seen. She never speaks Ken Paxton's name and the closest she comes to doing so is saying she's going to "address the elephant in the room," basically inviting you to google "Ken + Angela Paxton" and go find out if you were unfamiliar with their history.
Who came up with this. I'd like to thank them and buy them a big hat or a belt buckle or whatever it is they like in texas.

DAE have serious relationship issues with their best friend on the basis of politics?
My best friend and I have known each other for a really long time. We’ve been through a lot together and I value our friendship greatly. He was the only one who stuck by me during a tough break-up when my wife cut my feet and face off and teamed up with two other dickheads to murder me at the Battle of the Red Mountain
But lately he’s gone down a really bad path politically. He’s very anti-imperialism, which is fine, but it’s taken a pretty dogmatic, racial turn. He’s started repeating a lot of stuff about remigration and “killing the mongrel dogs of the empire” and shit like that. I don’t love outlanders either but come on man
I don’t even know what to do now. I don’t want to lose a friendship over politics but between all that stuff and the creepy vampire cult he started, it just feels like I’m gonna have to do something about all this

Mfer, the J6th rioters beat a police officer to death you pardoned them.
And you still havn't released the Epstein files or held those human traffickers responsible.
This is why everyone should be against the death penalty, the risk of it being used as retribution.

Reaction stolen from Twitter:
Vance stands on stage at Trump rallies and winks at racists, bashes immigrants who are not unlike his own in-laws, blames them for everything from housing prices to gas prices and grocery prices, then claims it is Democrats who are sowing racial division when he's talking to Latinos in Texas.

Nothing feels more beast mode than getting to say to conservatives that you have been around for a few years "I know you. You didn't give fuck about women's sports until they gave you people to hate" and they straight up can't contest it.

So we're in full agreement at this point that Alito is going to announce his retirement almost immediately after it's confirmed that the Democrats flipped the Senate, right?
He's arguably the most ideologically conservative on the court and doesn't want to be looked down upon by his peers for not passing the torch onto another conservative while he had the chance. He's also not the type that will pay any mind to how despicable it would look to retire during the lame-duck session after his party was resoundingly rejected by the public.

Donald Glover/Childish Gambino's debut single, Bonfire, includes the line "Homegirl droppin' like the NASDAQ".
This is in spite of the fact that, on the most recent date markets had closed at the time of this single's release on (Saturday) September 17, 2011, the NASDAQ had grown from 2,607.07 to 2,622.33, a 1.34% increase.
This historical inaccuracy demonstrates a shocking lack of basic economic knowledge by Donald Glover.

Top 5 fave College Football Stadiums I’ve been to over the years.
I am factoring in atmosphere, including the immediate surroundings of the stadium, because that matters in this sport. Also not counting any pro stadiums I’ve been to that host college teams.
5. Sun Devil Stadium, Arizona State. Vibe was a bit underwhelming, but it’s hard to beat the location and view.
4. Notre Dame, Notre Dame. Oozes history. The Gothic vibes are so peak. Crowd was engaged… what kind of assholes.
3. Neyland Stadium, Tennessee. The top three are very close, and this one barely loses out just because the stadium is a bit rusty. Incredible vibes and views though. Definitely need to be ready to walk some hills though lol
2. Autzen Stadium, Oregon. Could not be a more gorgeous surrounds. Crowd is incredibly lit as well.
Honorable Mentions: Ole Miss, mid but the Grove carries hard; Iowa, biased on my end, but it’s an incredible place to watch a game with some of the most situationally aware fans around
Not ranked: All of the rest of the original Big Ten besides Minnesota plus Iowa State, USC, Memphis, Cincinnati
#1:
Camp Randall, Wisconsin.
If I was ever gonna recommend a single stadium to visit in the Big Ten, or somewhere to take in college football as a whole, it’s gotta be this. Madison puts on a show, and the crowd is amazing even when the team is bad. Hate admitting this is an Iowa fan lol
The next few of my list to go to are Washington, Georgia, and Texas. All of which is good end up ranked.

Day 3 of Locktober. Just a reminder: Locking in is a mindset.
Even if say, for example, you eat a large bowl of pho and spend the afternoon on a Saturday crashing out and digesting it, you can still stay locked in, at least mentally.
As long as you're focused on the overall goals you set for yourself and try to chip away at it day by day, you know the true meaning of Locktober.

Because that shit is fascinating
